Clearly there is zero point in sacking the manager at this stage partly as there is nobody suitable who could step in. At this stage I would hope that the manager has been told that league position is secondary to a priority of establishing a clear identity and style of play. Forget about...

I've been a vocal supporter of ETH but if there is one signing that massively calls into question his judgement it's this one. A thoroughly unlikeable and absolutely bang average footballer. ETH needs to hold his hand up in this one and say he made a mistake.

They are, of course, both a problem but they are not the only problems. I see their performances as symptoms of a greater malaise throughout the team. I see nervousness, indecision and a lack of clarity across the pitch. This lies at the feet of ETH. What lies at the feet of Rashford and...

I thought first half we were set up well to restrict City and hit them on the counter. If we had more quality and were more clinical we could have converted a couple of chances created on breakaways. The hard truth is we do not have that quality and therefore can't. We have an almost entirely...

He really does look outstanding for his age and the sort of striker we need to build a team to service. Big, strong, pacey, great touch he looks a real handful who could trouble any defence. It's imperative we keep him happy, create chances for him and actaully win some things. He's a United...

Welcome to the modern game. An underperforming player is dropped, the manager explains why and the player calls him a liar. What should happen is that he stays dropped unless he wants to apologise and then get his game sorted. Instead we get a manager being forced to work with a player who has...

You don't yet know that she is indeed a "victim" How about taking a stance of neither believing nor not believing and wait to see what comes of an investigation lead by those whose job it is to investigate? That is to say don't jump to conclusions as you are. Lets hope you never end up on jury...

All hail The New Puritans

Sancho comes across to me as the kind of kid who'd love a move to Saudi. He'd earn shedloads of money for being a half arsed footballer in a half arsed league. Looks idel for him.

Position now for Sancho is simply not tenable. He's effectively calling his manager a liar. It seems to me that ETH and the club have invested a lot of time and energy into trying to turn this lad into a PL footballer and all the evidence we've seen on the pitch suggests he's either not up to it...

I'd pretty much agree with the consensus here that Antony isn't up to it. What's more so I think it's also dawned on him that he may well be out of his depth. Every time I see this guy play I see an increasing lack of confidence in his own ability and a reluctance to take a man on or to take a...

I get some bad entitlement vibes off Rashford. He makes it pretty obvious when he's not happy and he can appear to down tools. Thankfully I think we have a manager who has proven very adept at handling ego and who won't tolerate sulking on a football pitch or any other behaviours that impact...

For the good of the club I hope the sale is completed now and, whoever the next owner is, the focus can be on fixing what needs to be fixed and us fans can just focus on watching what will hopefully be some decent football. We've been a circus for too long. A well run United, as we once were...

I know where you're coming from @MancunianAngels . I've come to the conclusion my relationship with United is with a United that doesn't exist anymore. I've gone beyond the disappointment and disenchantment with modern United to realise that it does not sully or change the times, experiences and...
