  1. Realistic buyers...

    So Chelsea is valued at £4.25 billion according to the news reports, with Todd Boehly’s consortium bud winning… … what does that make United worth? £5 billion? £6b?
  2. 'Pep' Guardiola sack watch

    Dear Pep, Please win your remaining 4 league games before running away to a national team or taking a sabbatical. Yours sincerely, Manchester United
  3. The Summer of *Massive Change

    I do wonder which players who we have all probably given up on, actually turn it around under Ten Hag and start performing? Will he get a tune out of Martial for example? Like many others, we’re unlikely to sell him and there aren’t many clubs willing to pay his wages on a loan…

    Cheers, I guess I won’t be watching it then!
  5. FA Youth Cup - Semi-Final - United v Wolverhampton

    I’m not going to make the final, will it be on telly?
  6. We’ve criminally underused Matic and Mata these past few seasons

    I’m not unhappy either player is leaving but there is no doubt in my mind that, over recent seasons, in certain games, we were crying out for a Mata type. Good ball retention and good movement to find spaces when playing against two banks of four. Previous managers just didn’t want or know how...
  7. We’ve criminally underused Matic and Mata these past few seasons

    Both should have played more in recent seasons. Playing McFred week in week out really hurt us in games where teams were defensive and hard to break down. So many games cried out for a bit of Mata magic as we all watched another hopeless attack breakdown. Matic’s legs have gone but here was a...
  8. Pogba's contract offer

    I wondered this. Will there still be the outrageous fees involved for all the players affected? Haaland, Pogba ….
  9. Pogba's contract offer

    I’ll be glad to see the back of him. He always looks like he’s not really putting enough effort in and in my eyes that’s unforgivable. I know his qualities are in other areas but I don’t recall any game where he’s left everything on the pitch. Let’s be honest, could you see him doing what Ole...
  10. Rebuilding the squad with youth players

    I don’t think you can say that only Garner/Elanga/Hannibal will feature. When a young player clicks with the manager and that manager trusts he will deliver on his instructions then that player will play. For example, who’s to say he might really like Brandon Williams and play him every week….
  11. Rebuilding the squad with youth players

    Thanks for the link! Very useful.
  12. Rebuilding the squad with youth players

    There's no denying most of our loan deals have failed to inspire confidence in their future success. Who decides/suggests where they go?
