  1. Why is our Transfer Recruitment / Scouting so bad?

    Revolutionary. Tell us more about this "area scout" concept.
  2. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    We've been through 5 permanent managers post-SAF now. I wouldn't have a problem if he was sacked, but you're just starting the same cycle that we had with the other 4. In 2 summer windows, he's tried to clear out the excess from previous manager regimes and dictated the transfers in, including...
  3. Club Sale | It’s done!

    If they can give us apparel that looks as good as some of the PSG/Jordan Brand Collab, bring on our Qatari overlords
  4. Club Sale | It’s done!

    That someone can unironically speculate that running Salford FC was a practice run for running Manchester United is making me twitch
  5. In 2019 the club briefed it could take 3 years to become competitive. 3 years later it seems another 5 years have been added.

    Yes, because the timer is reset with every managerial change. The "rebuilding plan" is whatever the manager at the time thinks it should be. Ironically, at this club, the longer a manager has to fill the squad with his signings, the harder it is for the next manager to do the same. As an...

    Park, Tevez and Evra
  7. Ralf Rangnick | ex-interim manager | does anyone rate him?

    Doubt they'll change their tune until United wins the league again. The narrative's been established and it's going to be pretty easy for them to snipe away. This team's invariably going to have a rough go of it during Rangnick's time (I personally don't think his managing/coaching tenure here...
  8. Michael Carrick leaves Manchester United

    Nothing new there.
  9. Post match vs Chelsea

    Fred did so well today and all he'll be remembered for is that chip attempt
  10. Gary Neville - Pundit

    Probably, but that's not unique to Neville. Feels like United is the last bastion of running a big football club the English way and the erosion of that will lead to most English pundits having some sort of slant against Rangnick unless he immediately excels. That being said, Neville's point...
  11. Ralf Rangnick | ex-interim manager | does anyone rate him?

    Really curious to see how involved he'll be during the 2 year consultancy and whether he'll report directly to Ed or to Murtough. To me that's the more interesting part than taking over as interim.
  12. Next permanent manager | Poll updated

    Because Murtough isn't nearly as established as Leonardo is and my guess is that Ed would happily take responsibilities away from Murtough and give them to Poch if that was a condition for him coming.
  13. Watford vs Manchester United

    Christ he just came back from concussion too
  14. Watford vs Manchester United

    Alright my bad lads.
  15. Watford vs Manchester United

    Easiest 3-1 United prediction of my life.
