  1. Post match vs Leicester City

    Bruno just advised: "Garnacho scored a banger but didn't celebrate like he should because he thinks he has lost faith from some fans. I told him people will always moan but lots of people like you and enjoy what you do. I told him to celebrate, it was something special. He is a special player...

  2. McTominay (Out) | announced - signed for Napoli

    Didn't stop running, didn't stop tackling, didn't stop communicating, hyped up the crowd, hyped up those around him, never gave up. Also the small matter of scoring goals and actually making late runs into the area but who's counting.

  3. McTominay (Out) | announced - signed for Napoli

    "for us, at least" being very key here

  4. McTominay (Out) | announced - signed for Napoli

    I really do wanna give him more time but Mount excites and inspires me about as much as a thin slice of white bread that is walking the line between damp and wet. God I hope he gets better but from what I've seen he's - for us, at least - about half as good as Scott. He might have more skill...

  5. McTominay (Out) | announced - signed for Napoli

    I'd take McTominay over Casemiro and Mount any day of the week. Get rid of those that *aren't* contributing before we get rid of someone who actually scores goals for the team and can play for 90 minutes at a high tempo that is also moving into his prime years. Modern day Fletcher when it...

  6. Your top 5 favourite Manchester United players of all time

    1. John O'Shea (FW) 2. John O'Shea (GK) 3. John O'Shea (DF) 4. John O'Shea (MF) 5. Patrice Evra But seriously, in no order, and very much off the top of my head, covering the players I personally loved to see most of: O'Shea, Evra, Park, VDS, Scholes. And for playing ability alone: Scholes...

  7. Take any one player at his peak from our past and put him in this team, who do you choose?

    All of them! But seriously, Scholes or Van der Sar. VDS was the best goalkeeper I've seen for United, he controlled things and never looked silly. He wasn't eccentric and didn't make headlines too often, but he left every defender feeling very confident in front of him, he commanded the box...

  8. Manchester United vs Brentford

    United making me really glad I follow more than one sport right now because damn. Our guys need to get back to the basics in a big way. Passing has been poor and control in defence... just wow.

  9. Assessing Man Utd's psychological fortitude: Who are the weak links?

    I generally think of mental strength not as in "how I move the ball" but "how willing I am to keep pushing myself and those around me when the going gets tough".

  10. Assessing Man Utd's psychological fortitude: Who are the weak links?

    People saying McTominay is mentally weak - I'd love to hear their reasoning for it. He's one of the more mentally strong players in our squad as far as I'm aware. Gets flack from fans and doesn't get impacted by it in his performances or (as far as I can tell) his overall attitude. He's in...

  11. Manchester United vs Arsenal (Sat 22nd July, 22:00 UK time)

    It was stated by someone - I think the MUTV commentators - that both managers wanted to have a penalty shootout regardless of the outcome to use it as practice/training/evaluation of the players, presumably thinking it's better to have genuine opponents to test against and also for crowd...

  12. Manchester United vs Arsenal (Sat 22nd July, 22:00 UK time)

    Both managers wanted to have penalties at the end regardless for what I'd assume comes in as training purposes.

  13. Club Sale | It’s done!

    Thankfully they've at least avoided cat ears and anime eyes being added... so far.

  14. Manchester United vs Fulham

    Oh man, if Garnacho scored that it would have been a screamer of a team goal!

  15. Manchester United vs Fulham

    Look, I know McTominay isn't as good as Casemiro but by god when it comes to screwing up with easily avoidable mistakes, Casemiro is the Maguire to McTominay's Lindelof. I am never confident that Casemiro will not cause a calamity at some point in a game. Still love having him in our side and...
