    We already have a reportedly excellent South America scout in Mayorga, who probably scouted this guy but under the INEOS structure and their philosophy of ‘We want to find the next Mbappe, not get Mbappe’ (paraphrasing Ratcliffe himself), it’s more likely that his advice will be acted on than it...

    Fits the profile of what Ashworth would have us be doing. Hopefully it comes off at that price as well. It strikes you as one where a team like Benfica or Porto would swoop in for him and then in two years, he’s like the best young centre back talent in Europe and being sold for £75m minimum and...
  3. Who replaces Ten Hag?

    I don’t think Ratcliffe’s going to be fecking around gambling on whether Southgate is good enough. He wants to see some success with the money he’s plowing into United. He’s not a young man. Personally I think it’s Southgate’s agent doing all this. They‘ve seen that we’ve got new...
  4. Is Southgate underrated by the CAF?

    His England contract is up end of the calendar year, and you could probably say it’s up at the end of the Euros anyway. It wouldn’t surprise me if this so-called United interest is all from his agents, trying to get a better deal with England, by namedropping United.
  5. Is Southgate underrated by the CAF?

    He’s basically on the same level as Solskjaer to me. If England succeed, it’s in spite of him. He’s the weak point of the whole setup with the players at their disposal.
  6. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    They’re not getting Southgate after getting people like Berrada and Ashworth in. If ETH is to stay and continues as he has been doing for the rest of the season, then the pressure will be on him from minute one of next season, which isn’t the greatest idea. The performances need to be improved...
  7. Marcus Rashford (Out)

    My biggest gripes with him are inconsistency and work rate. A player who goes from 5 goals one season, to 30 goals after that and currently 8 goals this season. That’s some pretty wild fluctuations for a forward player at an elite club. He’s our Theo Walcott in some ways. A pace merchant who...
  8. Graeme Sourness | Retires from “punditry”

    All due to DDG absolutely smashing it at his new club right now? :p
  9. Jamie Carragher

    When Liverpool’s not involved, he’s a decent pundit. However when Liverpool are involved, he can be the worst winner or the worst loser. He was crowing for a month after the 7-0 last season and this season Arsenal were told to just get down the tunnel after Liverpool had been beaten them.
  10. Martin Tyler | Retiring

    Listen to his reaction to that scrappy Wiltord goal at OT in 01/02 and someone tell me with a straight face he’s not a gooner.
  11. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    I hope to god he goes back to the drawing board with this international break. He’s got a good chance of reaching the FA Cup Final and 5th in the league is CL qualification. It’s fallen nicely for him this weekend with Spurs and Villa faltering, and drawing Coventry in the FA Cup semis.
  12. FA Cup 2023/24

    Mark Robins in the FA Cup How poetic
  13. Did Amad make the most badass exit of all time?

  14. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    I really want him to succeed and was delighted that we got him, but he just keeps making mistakes over and over again. I just don’t understand why the chasm of no midfield is still around, even though it’s been pretty clear since the first league game of the season against Wolves. We go through...
