  1. Who is your preferred option for the RW spot?

    Anthony is stealing a living at our club at present, I've never seen a more one footed predictable professional footballer, at least the likes of Robben had end product after he cut inside when everyone knew he was going to cut inside because that's all he had, he was still effective. Anthony...
  2. Sofyan Amrabat | signs for United on loan

    Before the sra Before the season started I thought if we get Amrabat we'd have a solid option for when Casemiro was suspended, injured or tired, 2 games in and I think Amrabat could replace Casemiro.
  3. Manchester United vs Newcastle United

    Hope he hasn't just travelled so as not to let Newcastle know in advance that he's not fit to play.
  4. Post match vs Leicester City

    Bruno slowly starting to look like that Bruno fella we signed a couple of seasons ago...
  5. Does our form/mess affecting your desire to watch football?

    Been watching out of duty rather than enjoyment for a long time now. That 'Come on United' energy before kick off is disappearing sooner and sooner into matches these days. Was gonna get kits for my 2 young kids but changed my mind in case they get bullied They've been born at the wrong time...
  6. McFred as a midfield duo heading into 2022/23 season

    Get Varane fit and somehow keep him fit, then play Martinez as a cdm if we can't or don't sign a midfielder. Not saying he was amazing yesterday but from one competitive game its clear to see he's way more comfortable on the ball than McFred and is a better passer of the ball. Absolutely...
  7. Ronaldo: Stay or go?

    I'm actually furious with him. The timing of this is unbelievably selfish, We've got what I believe on the little I know and have seen so far, is a great manager and coach, it's a chance to finally have a proper rebuild and go again, some players out, new players in, positive environment with...
  8. Name your best starting 11 including the new signings

    Haha that did make me laugh! I just personally haven't seen a single United game yet where I've come away thinking Varane stood out or played better than any other defender. By all means name his best games and I'll go watch the highlights and come back and say I was wrong if required...
  9. Name your best starting 11 including the new signings

    Really surprised so many include Varane in their strongest back line. Is that based on his Real days? OK Maguire was shocking last season but he's not as bad as that, he's been really good for us as well remember. Varane for me has struggled with the pace of the Prem and has looked rushed...
  10. Manchester United 0:1 Atletico Madrid (Sat 30th July, 12:45 UK time)

    Overall so far I'd say ETH will get a better tune out of what we have than previous managers have, yes I know work rate and wanting it is a minimum expectation for Manchester United players but we didn't see that last season and we can see it clearly now already so that's back so let's be...
  11. Ronaldo: Stay or go?

    You make a fair point but I just think we may as well clear out any and all who don't want to be here right now and go from there, it's going to take 2-3 seasons realistically before we can reasonably expect a top 4 challenge anyway so if losing Ronaldo means that adds another season I'd take...
  12. Ronaldo: Stay or go?

    I wouldn't lose sleep if he left, as long as we get a young promising striker in beforehand, we need a complete overhaul to start building for the future anyway and regardless of his undoubted greatness, Ronaldo isn't part of the long term future of the club anyway so now seems as good a time as...
  13. Post match vs Everton

    Agree with this, his finishing lately has been really poor, other times he makes it look easy and you'd bet your house on him 1 on 1, so that's frustrating. However, his all round performance has lifted significantly in the last 2 games and I have noticed it despite the frustration at the...
  14. Manchester United vs Arsenal

    Cavani for Greenwood at HT. Ball is not sticking with him at all today. Weak
  15. I see the 'ABU' Media are back in full voice...

    Attacking team with the highest scoring and quick forward players in winning many penalties scandal. Hold the front page... They quote how many penalties we've won, they quote how our front 3 has outscored every other front 3, but they don't make any connection between the two? It's great to...
