yes, all the 5 managers (interim Rangnick exluded) were either 2nd tier managers or 1st tier managers already on a decline
We never managed to hire a real 1st tier manager
Yay, the opinions of "football experts" on Skysports or inside United's management/coaching team (e.g. we shall play basketball-esque transition football) must matter more then.
Tell me what Rashford offers apart from his occasional goals (once...
His season rating on this forum is 4.3 - the lowest amongst all senior squad members. He offers nothing apart from occasional goals. Any fan who think he is not a problem is delusional
I think some of the United (and Liverpool as well) fans are indoctrinated with the belief that only those fans holding "don't criticise, just give support" attitudes are "true loyal Devils (or Reds)"
I remember the fans who questioned the signing in July last year were mocked by some fellow fans on RedCafe "arghhaha, you think you know football more than the professional football managers and hierarchy?"
I think Xavi worths a try.
He apparently respects us a lot (from his previous interviews) and he is a possession based coach with experience of leading top sides. We won't win important trophies (UCL/PL) with him shortterm but it is good to hire...
an unreasonable opinion held by many then.
tell me which aspect of football he is good at, apart from scoring occasionally goals (once per 5 games this season - which is pretty average)? Is he a good dribbler? or good passer? or is he good at...
Sorry to say it but it is a very poor take. "Judging people" is a weird thing and people can go very very wrong, hence many people do actually believe that Stalin/Mao Zedong are great men and many abused wives think their husbands are nice men
Was interesting to see him surging forward at the wing, shielded the ball and got a shot on target from tight angle. My instant thinking was - "wow, why is that our REAL left winger, Rashford, has never managed to do similar things for years?"
The rate at which we rejuvenate our squad is criminally slow.
We still keep half of the players got trashed 0-4 Everton 5 years ago!
And look at Arsenal's starting lineup 5 years ago, almost all of them have left the club
I think we should just accept the highest bid on him, whichever the amount it, we receive on him this summer - be it 20M or even 10M
as long as we can get rid of his toxicity it is good for the team
