Fans wishing injuries on their own players? Wow.

Problem with these discussions is almost everyone sits in an extreme, which makes it really difficult to have any sort of fair or reasonable conversation. In this very thread there were plenty of comments saying he'll need time etc. Up to the start of this season, I didn't see many (if...

Discussions like this are always really dramatic. It never takes as much or as long to see an upturn as people think and for some reason so many people assume that everything and everyone just continues on it's same trajectory. Nobody was saying this time last year that a United team in 2...

Think you need to calm down and realise that reading a few tweets from a nonsense account maybe isn't the best foundation to have a bizarre, intense personal hatred of someone you've never met, seen, spoken to or have any actual idea what they're like or what they do. Just an idea

Utter wibble. Can't even be bothered taking this on, it's so ridiculous it's just not worth it. If you think we played better football when we were finishing 12th and 13th with Fergie or under Van Gaal and Moyes then you're too deluded to bother trying to have a reasonable conversation with...

Ten Hag is a good manager. Whether it works out at United is another story but if he leaves United then you can be sure he'll get another very good job and will likely do a very good job. You're struggling to tell the difference between bad and a bad time. He came to the club a good manager. A...

How has he 'got it wrong' with Antony? The kid had pretty much the first season I expected him to have. Given his age, playing style etc I always earmarked his third or fourth season as his real break out. I suspect ETH is pretty happy with his first year.

So much this. I now rarely interact online or engage in any sort of football discourse because fans have honestly sucked the fun out of everything. I check in here during the transfer windows and have a couple of YouTube channels I'll watch post game etc but other than that I just tend to block...

You're an eejit if you think our academy is 'shit', it's not fifa, where you arbitrarily upgrade it and unless it's at least a 3/5 then you simply can't get players above an 75 rating. It might be a bit behind in terms of truly modern, elite academies but every amazing player who ever played...

This. It's crazy that fans think that if its not being reported on then it isn't happening. We won't know such a large amount of what's going on. With this in particular, we won't just be dawdling about, wondering what we should do. We'll have had many rounds of talks over the course of months...

He obviously trusts young players, he seemed pretty instrumental in us spending 100 mill on a 22 year old, his Ajax team didn't struggle for young or academy players. He literally managed the team that links Bayern's academy and their first team. But they also obviously have to be good enough...

Maybe he won't accept ever being a backup, we know this and already sort of know that he'll end up being moved on. If true then it makes complete sense that we'd still want to sign someone. Someone who is prepared to be a backup.

This is my stance. Wish fans would acknowledge a little more that they actually know feck all. Even if someone has watched him in multiple full games this season, I think we see a different game to what the likes of ETH do. If it comes down to whether I trust my judgement more or the manager...

I think people's perceptions of scouts are stuck in the 1980s and heavily influenced by games like fifa and FM, which simplify the process down to make it fun and engaging. I expect we will have a database that is full of players. Thousands of them with data from opta or whoever we use feeding...

What makes you think we haven't? The club don't exactly brief the press after every conversation. What we feed off is crumbs and stretched/made up stories. We won't know of 99% of the conversations and goings on day to day. It seems to me like we had genuine interest in Kane (and who needing a...
