The thing with Tuchel is that’s he’s a very good coach and struggles with being a manager, if as Sir Jim said we’re moving away from having a ‘manager’ and having a ‘head coach’ then we’d struggle to do better than Tuchel who was probably only behind Guardiola and Klopp in his time in English...

Having a selection choice of Martinez, Shaw and Maguire as left sided centre back and Shaw, Gutierrez and Amass at left back is a great selection problem to have and it would allow us to bring a top right sided centre back as first choice like Silva, Diomande or Todibo and someone like...

Same mate but there’s no way Ratcliffe does it before the season ends just to bring someone in for a few games and in all honesty who’d want to come in as an interim at this club right now ?

I’ve never been so disgusted with our players as I am today and they should be ashamed of themselves, we don’t deserve to be in the cup final and ETH and a lot of our squad don’t deserve their fecking jobs. I can only pray that Ratcliffe is fecking ruthless this summer and bins ETH and a lot of...

I’d rather Varela and Neves, with how Newcastle are being over Ashworth they’d want an absolute fortune for Guimares.

For anyone who properly watches Portuguese football could they fill us in on who’d be better as a single pivot between Varela at Porto and Neves at Benfica ? I’d love both personally as from what I've seen those two along with Mainoo in midfield would be a perfect balance.

I’ve said for a long time that Ancelotti should be who we throw the book at bringing in as he’s a massive name, respected by everyone, worked with the biggest names and egos, tactically flexible, tactically brilliant, a great motivator, great man management and arguably has unfinished business...

Had this argument with someone on a United forum on Facebook in which I said there’s players out there like Guido and Rabiot who upgrade our midfield, Adarabioyo and Kelly who add quality in depth to centre back/left back and Jovic who’d be a decent back up to Hojlund all on frees this summer...

£1 million a month off the wage bill, basically been a nothing player for 2-3 years and a complete waste of money which is a shame to an extent based on how good he was in that debut season but lack of effort and lack of desire on top of bad management and being made of glass has brought it to...

Not crazy at all and I’m in full agreement, I’ve been saying we should bring him back for a long time and how annoying it is that we often move youth players on for next to nothing then bring in supposed big name players who then do nothing.

That would imply that we’re even in for Todibo, just because the papers say we are doesn’t mean we are just like David Gill wasn’t being seen with Brailsford because he was about to be given the job Berrada was given just a couple of weeks later. Over the past few months we’ve been linked to...

So I guess by that equation you’re also Ten Hag in based on reaching quarter finals and semi finals ? Do you know what Southgate’s record against top 10 teams ? It’s played 27, won 7 and lost 11 with 9 draws which is about 25% and before you say this England team isn’t what it once was nor is...

If we’re lucky Potter takes over as England manager in July after England do what they do in tournaments and Southgate isn’t an option seeing as his whole club CV is about 15 years old and he’s managed to do nothing with a great squad of players.

If we’re being careful due to FFP/PSR then Guido from Betis and Rabiot from Juve in frees and Varela from Porto is about as perfect as it could be for us then move Casemiro, Eriksen and VDB on. I see it similarly in defence too as Lloyd Kelly and Adarabioyo are both on frees too although we...

Because some how we’ve gone from real leaders like Robson, Keane, Bruce, Schmeichel and Vidic and players ego always gave 100% like Irwin, Beckham, Neville and Rooney to the likes of Pogba, Lingard, Sancho and Rashford who care far more about their off pitch status and PR than playing football...
