  1. What would make you change your opinion on Ole

    Tough to say really, think Ole is a good tactician, but poor coach overall- If we start to show that we can play attacking football, press and retain possession well and get a top 4 finish its difficult to sack him, also considering the amount of injuries key players have had and the fact we had...
  2. Joshua King / signs for Watford

    Ngl, cant really hate on this signing. Decent backup striker much needed given our lack of squad depth, and if Martial gets injured we're screwed. So for 20m no complaints.
  3. Man Utd and Alibaba group announce new partnership

    Interesting, anyone have a rough idea how much United will make from this deal?
  4. Number 1 priority... Central midfielder!

    Good point tbh- Didn't realise how pivotal he is for Bielsa's team. I just don't see united improving this season unless they buy a midfielder or two in January. Guess its going to be a long season.
  5. Number 1 priority... Central midfielder!

    I think Kalvin Philips from Leeds would be a smart/realistic signing for January. Young, very promising ability with lots of potential and shouldn't be too pricey (Maybe around 30m?). Would be a good long term addition to our squad and not just a short term fix who we will later regret having.
  6. United players organise their own Dubai Training camp over International Break

    Might be one of the fitness coaches, saw an article which said they travelled with some united staff too.
  7. Absolutely horrible midfield

    Couldn't agree more-Just a shame we have an incompetent board who are unable to be ruthless in the window and sign more than a couple of players. I think Ole will focus on improving the midfield next summer. Defence seemed a priority the past transfer window so i wouldn't be surprised if we sign...
  8. Saudi Takeover - Claim deal done

    Will happen sometime. Just think it'll happen in the next 3-5 years rather than anytime soon. The current re-structuring if successful will increase the value of the club to a value they'll be happy to sell at.
  9. Boubakary Soumaré

    Also rumours of Inter wanting Matic in January, hopefully that happens and then we make a move for this guy.
  10. Chris Smalling | 2019/20 Performances

    Genuinely baffled how people think Smalling would still have a place in this united squad. The reality is nowadays you need 2 centre backs who can both pass out from the back, allowing the team to play a high line and control possession. Putting Smalling in this team would mean having to go...
  11. Who's in the worst position?

    Think United are in the worst position as for this season at least. Poor midfield and attack means we will struggle regardless of the system we play, but arsenal and Tottenham can change there style to better suit there players. But in terms of next season i actually think united will be in a...
  12. If the squad is so poor, then how is last season's winning streak explained?

    Ole didn't change the style of play much post-mourinho. We still played deep, counter attacking football. Ole just improved the players confidence levels. We then went on an amazing run beating teams and eventually teams decided instead of attacking against us- to sit back and counter us. Once...
  13. What’s the difference between our honeymoon period and now?

    Think it was more down to Ole not really changing much post-mourinho. Just added a man going forward to support the counter attacks but we still played deep and low-block. People thought we were playing magnificent attacking football but in reality we were still a deep-lying counter attacking...
  14. Who is "the right striker" in the transfer market?

    Mario Mandzukic imo. Deal just fell through for a move to Qatar and Sarri has no place for him at Juve. Makes sense for United to go for him and his age means he won't be here long enough to stop the development of Greenwood.
