  1. Sir Alex back working at the club (according to Sun)

    Not sure of the veracity of the story but if true, it's not a good move. The weight of Busby's presence was very difficult for the manager's who tried to move the club forward back in the day.
  2. Most loved legends

    Most of my favs are the players I watched in my youth. Not all are legends but I always loved: Jesper Olsen McGrath Robson Hughes Webb (he failed but I liked him) Parker Lee Sharp Irwin Pallister
  3. Are people going to insist this isn't as bad or worse than the nadirs of LVG and Moyes?

    what revisionism? Look on youtube for the Juan Mata 45 pass goal vs Southampton. Can't remember when last we had that type of possession during play.
  4. Are people going to insist this isn't as bad or worse than the nadirs of LVG and Moyes?

    by the end of the season LVG had stumbled onto the forward line of Rashford, Martial and Lingard it was too little, too late. He is still miles better at coaching and youth development than Jose will ever be.
  5. Are people going to insist this isn't as bad or worse than the nadirs of LVG and Moyes?

    We scored a 45 pass goal against Southampton under LVG. The team was properly coached. We didn't defend and hope for a lucky goal. We did struggle to break teams down but the team had a formation and system of play. Lingard, Fosu Mensah, Rashford and Martial all looked good under LVG.
  6. Love you Scholesy but you're out of order on this one

    He was right when he criticised LVG and he is right now. These performances are worse than what we saw under Louis. We might have been toothless back then but at least we were coached and the players had a system of play. Jose needs to spend less time gobbing off and more time coaching.

  8. Morgan Schneiderlin | Free Agent

    Last I checked we won our first major trophy post SAF under him. So not all bad.
  9. Schneiderlin on Van Gaal's management

    Scheiderlin should look at himself and stop trying to deflect. He came in as Carricks replacement but the club was to big for him. I am glad he is doing well at Everton and wish him all the best. Some things just don't work out. There is nothing wrong with LVG's philosophy. It has worked at...
  10. Morgan Schneiderlin | Free Agent

    Morgan most likely could not get to grips with LVG's system. Some things just are not meant to be. Hope he can kick on and have a good career. Compare his comments to Johnny Evans as an example... “Whatever people say about him and his spell in charge of United, he was a fantastic coach. I...
  11. Roy Keane the pundit

    Yeah the vitriol against Keane is something else. He always spoke his mind. People are over sensitive. So he prefers Ince to Scholes. So what. Ince was a fantastic midfielder in his day. Ditto Paul Parker over Neville. Parker was a very good fullback and England international. Now I might not...
  12. Roy Keane the pundit

    Why when Scholes had a go a Van Gaal last season he is a "legend" Keane gives his opinion and he is "bitter" "an ass" "bellend" etc etc...
  13. Are we now favourites in your opinion to win the Europa ?

    We are not favorites. Our record in Europe since Fergie left has been diabolic. To assume we suddenly have the European savvy is wishful thinking imo. Just look at Spurs. They have been much better domestically than Utd but they still lost on the continent.
