That's it. It's the fact that teams further down the league really try and use set pieces, and when teams get stuff at Old Trafford there's a sense of threat! I

Evidence from all our set pieces suggests this guy was terrible. Corners don't get past the first man & we're not a threat at all. Corners and free kicks are just as likely to result in the other side attacking. It's one of the basics we just don't do I also noted that Reguillon took part in a...

Utter garbage - if that's a red then god knows what Bruno Guimarães should have got for lamping the Arsenal guy the other week! The ball wasn't even there for that "challenge"! Never a red that, a yellow at most. Remember Carroll's 4x leg breakers when we played Reading - he only got yellows...

I couldn't disagree more with the assessment that Ten hag might have needed to go!! What? We’d never have had SAF with that thinking. With our injury crisis? Sack the manager? Really??? Aren't they also harking back to 62/63 season too for poor starts? In which case we'd never had had the best...

It's a measure of the club that it's survived the Glazers. In many ways, it's survived much worse. But in the modern era, this has really tested the club. But the spirit of United remains. There are actual tangible reasons it was referred to as "the family club", and yes, these are historic now...

This was very moving in the ground as 73,000+ people were silent & the bagpiper wasn't going through the PA or anything. So you could hear this distant but clear sound in the cold Manchester air, as he walked across the pitch.

I attended first team training under Sir Alex back in 2011. To be fair, I was so in awe everything and everyone, that I wasn't really taking it in! I do wonder now though. Is our poor defence down to training against our blunt attacking?! However it does make me laugh when I hear all the cries...

Is it just me that sees this as simple as (1) we have 3/4 of our first choice back 4 out so we're conceding soft and (2) we didn't sign a nailed-on goalscorer and Rashford is out of form, so we're not scoring? On top of that, key players have come in (Mount, Hojland etc.) and this should be...

100% what we need is a prolific scorer, our goal difference last season was poor. I realise that was at least partly down to those drubbings, but either way we won't get what we want (title challenge) without scoring more. So my hope is a decent showing in the CL, top 3 in no doubt & a title...

Thanks. Yeah I figured there would be a fee. I've always paid up front as well. I guess I was surprised at how little info the poor ticket site offered!

Has anybody used the finance option for renewing their Season ticket? I've got the money to pay for the thing, but if it's interested (or fee) free then the cash is better with me and I'll happily pay monthly. If you go through the payment options, there doesn't seem to be anything that tells...

Well, the positive has to be that Maguire, Martial, Sancho (for starters) have to go. Unless we get serious about shipping out and recruiting properly, we'll be here again this time next year. Even if we go out of the FA Cup, as long as we get top 4 Erik will have over-achieved and turned...

This won't have happened for them all season & it won't happen again.

Terrible stuff. It was always going to be a tough one as it's Liverpool, in a slump, but with a big game to focus on. We've ridden our luck the last few games, due to tiredness, and played well when it mattered. But we just never got anything going here at all. It'll not end our run, nor will...
