  1. Mason Greenwood | Please be respectful and stay on topic

    Will definitely play for England again.
  2. Manchester United vs Athletic Bilbao (Sun 6th August, 16:00 UK time)

    How would you of known an Old Trafford game would have been announced, especially the day before this game. It's obviously a rip off and for 75-90 euro a ticket, I doubt it would of sold out if it was made clear it wasn't going to be a first team line up.I know a few groups going, all...
  3. Are we really this bad?

    Unfortunately, there is no single point of failure for United to blame. Each issue feeds the next one, and it will take a lot of effort, time, and resources to get Manchester United back to playing at a top level. The Squad First, I'm not sure what (ETH)Erik Ten Hag's plan is for this group of...
  4. Ralf Rangnick's consultancy role has been scrapped

    Wasn't he let go, after we hired ETH. Not sure that was his decision to feck off. Also he has don't this twice with two German clubs, and has a very proven track record in recruitment.
  5. Marko Arnautović | United have pulled out

    They shouldn't even be near the potential list of signings.
  6. Premier League to scrap PPV matches from next week

    I would love a similar service to NFL Game Pass, in the USA its $60 a year and you get to watch over 250+ games, the playoffs and Super Bowl. They have different plans, cheaper but you get access to less games. Give global access, different prices for different regions, just imagine 100...
  7. Ousmane Dembele

    No doubt he's talented and has tremendous potential, I wouldn't oppose a temporary loan without any purchase obligation. Happy to miss on this one. No way the club should be spending £80+ on a player that is injury prone, has a bad diet and poor work ethic. We'd just be doing Barca a favour...
  8. Donny van de Beek | van de Beek's father: "[Moving to United] a dream come true."

    Van De Beek has been getting 5- 10 goals a season with 5- 10 assists. Its not to replace Matic/Mct, as he plays a completely different role on the pitch. More forward more creative, so if bruno or pogba are reseted/injured.....small cup games.....he can fill in. For me this is one of our...
  9. Donny van de Beek | van de Beek's father: "[Moving to United] a dream come true."

    This could be a good move, depending on the price. I assume its to have coverage for Bruno/Pogba. For me we need an central attacking creative midfielder regardless of Sancho and more urgently than a defensive one. We already have 3-4 players to fill in the defensive/holding B2B role. I...
  10. Massimiliano Allegri targets Manchester United job

    Nope, might as well of kept Mourinho. I'd rather finish the season 10th place with Ole. At least some of the games are fun to watch.
  11. Would you sack or keep Ole? (Poll reopened)

    I think we have to keep Ole at least for this season. Let's give him time to add players in January and next summer. Squad is depleted, unbalanced and will take time to fix. I really don't see any manager that would do a good job with this team if Martial/Rashford/Pogba/Shaw/Bissaka are...
  12. The Mourinho Thread: Should he stay or go? | Sacked

    Spurs looked great, Pochettino has a good team, they are quick, creative, good passing and good understanding of the roles. This is years of good coaching, consistency and working together. Nothing to do with the previous transfer market. In comparison we look poor in all aspects of our team...
  13. Maguire | NOT McGuire or MacGuire

    Overall I'd be happy with this transfer. Financial Side: If Maguire came and Rojo left. £60m Out ----- £25m In ---- > £35 Net spend. Rio Ferdinand's fee adjusted for inflation is around £50m, so yeah seems like a good deal for me. Football side: Maguire is good at holding on to the...
  14. Cristiano Ronaldo | Real confirm deal

    Yup, I read that somewhere, Spanish authorities are claiming the work Ronaldo did, Adverts, Wear Addidas Shoes etc.... all took place in Spain. I find it strange that his team of accountants/lawyers etc... can't find a way out of this.
  15. Cristiano Ronaldo | Real confirm deal

    So my take on this would be if existing laws were broken, or fraud was committed then everybody involved should be punished/fined etc.... But it does look like Ronaldo has a case for the defense. From my understanding, Ronaldo was taking advantage of the Beckham Tax Law in Spain. Which gives a...
