  1. Is Southgate underrated by the CAF?

    The press can't stand United fans being happy, so after beating Liverpool the Southgate links come out again to bring us all back down into a state of foreboding.
  2. Who replaces Ten Hag?

    I'd take Moyes, hell, I'd even take LVG back over Southgate. I guess the only former manager I wouldn't take again over him is Rangnick, obviously. Imagine how bad it would be, and I can't imagine he'd have the control over the press that he's enjoyed whilst with England either.
  3. Jadon Sancho | 2023/24 Performances | Dortmund (loan)

    They do play like they've been on spice to be fair.
  4. Pogba suspended for alleged anti-doping offence | Banned for 4 years

    I'm finding hard to believe that we've come out well in a transfer/contract situation.
  5. How good was Ryan Giggs?

    A great great player. We had the luxury to get extra years out of him by not needing him week in week out in later years. But the fact he could come into the side as a central midfielder, or drop in at left back showed that he just had great footballing quality beyond what you'd expect of a...
  6. Was the Casemiro signing a mistake?

    I'm trying to remain optimistic about him, that he'll fully adjust to the premier league and show his quality again consistently for many years. It's a fairly baseless optimism I know, but there's been many mid-30's centre midfielders well capable of excelling in this league. Admittedly they...
  7. How good was Dwight Yorke?

    Had an incredible and immediate impact, and despite not reaching those heights again, he showed he was a truly talented footballer by successfully dropping deeper and playing past his mid-30's, ending in Keano's Sunderland side.
  8. Rashford out partying at nightclub hours before reporting as too ill to attend training

    I find it hard to imagine him getting many chances or surviving in a SAF squad. He wouldn't have had the advantage of consistently being picked regardless of form.
  9. Playing Martinez after he sustained an injury..

    Hope the news coming out is true, getting him back in a couple of months is uplifting having feared it was his ACL
  10. Martial exit?

    No surprise. At best he'll join a small French club in the summer (assuming he might want to return to living in France), or he'll join the former United player free agents in unofficial/unannounced retirement.
  11. Anthony Martial | 2023/24 Performances

    Surely we'll not give him a new deal, no matter what the pay cut, short of there being no funds to recruit for a 3rd choice CF I guess? Retaining an ability to recoup a fee just isn't worth it given that there's no one that wants to buy him. We could let him go for free to our main rivals and...
  12. Rank our post-SAF managers

    Jose - best of a bad bunch Ole - most enjoyable time until the failure to win attainable trophies that Jose would have probably won EtH - only slightly above LVG, alphabetically mainly LVG - the worst for transfers and truly dreadful football Moyes - why make wholesale changes to the champions...
  13. Is Ten Hag after the sack?

    I reckon he knows he's lost half the team, and knows that means he's going to get the sack after a run of bad results. I reckon he thinks he hasn't got the squad to win with an alternative set of players, so is just hanging out to dry the under performers on a weekly basis to show everyone...
  14. Sancho should be brought back to the first team squad.

    Whether EtH gets sacked or not, Sancho has shown himself to be the sort of player you can't afford to have in your squad. He should be moved on asap, although as we've seen with Martial, it can be a long goodbye.
