  1. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach | Locked during matches

    I was referring to the club, not the fans. This constant boom bust approach to our transfer strategy has gradually reduced the quality of the squad and cost us a small fortune. Panicking over transfers like Antony, Mount, Sanchez to name a few. It appears now, that they have found a manager...

  2. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach | Locked during matches

    No, you’ve missed my point. I DO want to win the league and be genuinely fighting for a the CL. But due to the complete incompetence of how this squad has been assembled, it isn’t going happen overnight so we to take a different approach to the high price / high risk which has landed us in...

  3. The right back market

    It’s got the scousers all over it … underpriced due to a release clause (like MacAllister), no doubt will be a seamless replacement for TAA.

  4. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach | Locked during matches

    Yep! It’s this desperation for instant success that has us in this mess…. Buckle up and enjoy the ride, Amorim will come good once he finds the key to playing against PL sides who are far more athletic and powerful than what he is used to

  5. Amad Diallo | 2024/25 Performances

    I agree …. I don’t think he will be expected to track back for 90mins. Last night he played a No10 role (with Dorgu overlapping), but drifted wide and found space.

  6. Chido Obi | 2024/25 Performances

    Tough game for him today against a physically strong defence. The minutes will do him wonders and help his progress. 17-19 is usually a big time for physicality changes, so don’t be surprised if he comes back from the summer break a different shape altogether

  7. Kobbie Mainoo | 2024/25 Performances

    Those urging to sell him must be crazy?! His stock is probably at a low because of a rusty season sprinkled with lack of fitness. I agree, he needs to improve his performances as the game seemed to pass him by today. But he’s still young and needs to be allowed to work out his weak points.

  8. Alejandro Garnacho | 2024/25 Performances

    I felt that a month ago, but he seems to be picking up the ball in No10 pockets a little more and having a little better output, so now I’m not sure either way.

  9. Post match vs Brentford

    Result is what it is, doesn’t feel nice to keep losing league games but we played 7 players under 21 and gave minutes to Amad, Mount, Shaw and DeLigt (briefly). The PL is too strong to be able to do that and beat teams challenging for Europe away from home … so it’s an unfortunate decision that...

  10. Replacing Casemiro

    The problem we have here is that most of his standout performances are in Europe, whereas he tends to get overrun more in the PL. Perhaps CL qualification will dictate whether he stays or goes?

  11. Matheus Cunha £62.5m release clause

    It won’t be for the sake of trying, I just think it will be difficult. There aren’t many clubs outside of the PL that spend £25m+ on players and I don’t think his stock has risen enough for one of Europes elite to come in for him.

  12. Matheus Cunha £62.5m release clause

    Unfortunately I think Antony will go out on loan again. We have also pretty much confirmed that Osimhen is not in our thinking. But you have shown how it doesn’t take a lot of unrealistic work in the summer to make a big difference to this team.

  13. What next for Ryan Giggs?

    But this is it, he isn’t celebrated in football circles, the Hall of Fame being a simple example (albeit I don’t take that seriously). I think you will also see many clubs distance themselves from him (which I can respect even if I don’t agree). I do also find it funny when I see people...

  14. What next for Ryan Giggs?

    Yet both John Terry and Thierry Henry had affairs? Just seems strange that Giggs gets far more grief for his wrongs than others. That aside, whilst VERY weird, I honestly couldn’t care a less about footballers infidelity, it’s rife and it’s not my business. He’s a United legend who has some...

  15. What next for Ryan Giggs?

    I’ve never understood why he isn’t in the hall of fame when Tony Adams is … who spent 4 months in prison for drink driving.
