If that quote is accurate definitely reads like a dig from EtH.

I take your points, I'm not saying it's without risk, but the whole idea of having a proper football structure in place is that the "manager" is simply the 'head coach' and you can therefore take more risks. If we bring McKenna in and he flounders, move him on. That's preferable in my mind to...

I agree...but the only time (and I mean the only time) he is ever half-useful is against teams who are likely to dominate the ball, push us back AND he can play as a psuedo-forward off the flank with no/limited defensive responsibilities and no real requirement to be a focal point. IF all of...

9-men behind the ball in a 5-3-2 Rashford and Hojlund as 'split' CFs Gameplan based on clinging on desperately, getting the ball to Bruno, punting it forward for the quick forwards to chase behind the full backs.

Keiran McKenna. His record with a very average Ipswich squad is absolutely outstanding. Under the previous regime I would have said too young / too inexperienced....but with Ashworth & Wilcox to assist as part of a new sporting structure made up of experts I believe he could thrive and become a...

Unconscious bias. Officials are told relentlessly that they favour United, and this seeps into their subconscious. Therefore they avoid giving us anything that's potentially contentious and set a lower bar for decisions against us. That's why we always have the marginal decisions go against us...

Yeah of course he was right but so what? It didn't take a genius to see that we had major issues with the backroom team and that we had too many bad eggs in the dressing room. Problem was, he exacerbated the situation and don't forget, it was Jose who signed Pogba and Sanchez!

You've clearly put a lot of effort into defending Martial so apologies for giving it short shrift but to quote Roy Keane...if you think you can rely on these two (Rashford and Martial) to get United back to where they want to be then "you're living in Cloud Cuckoo Land". The whole point of my...

I have a theory about why some posters cling desperately to the idea of Rashford as a world-class talent and that's because they're the type of balloon who mindlessly hyped him (and every single other youngster the club produces) with absolutely no idea what they're talking about. If you spend...

Martial sulked and basically downed tools when Jose took the '9' off him and gave it to Zlatan. He looked half-arsed when OGS was battling to save his job and he's been consistently lethargic / injured under EtH

And let's also have it right...he scored 17 goals in the Premier League in what is widely regarded as his best ever season. 17 is fine, but we're not talking about some kind of record-breaking season. I couldn't care less about goals in all competitions really because we know the opposition can...

His press conference recently was extremely worrying, saying we should have enough goals because 'Rashford and Martial'. How many managers have those two been at least partly responsible for seeing off now? Roy Keane talks about players who will get you the sack, those two are prime examples...

Yeah but there's some powerful interests represented here against City. Even on a very basic level, what will UEFA make of it if the Premier League doesn't impose the rules? English clubs might be frightened of speaking out against City in public but I guarantee Bayern, Barcelona, Real...

This. We need to keep making this point over and over again because people will forget in time. The comparison I like to use is that of a billionaire "entrepreneur" vs a self-made businessperson. The billionaire entrepreneur can take more risks, they can use their family connections, they can...

Sorry but the standard at Manchester United (even now) should be that you expect "good passes" as par for the course. Losing the ball is sacrilege. Once or twice can be excused but Rashford is so wasteful. The most frustrating thing for me is that he never seems to have a plan. It's head down...
