  1. Successful 2nd spells at clubs

    Antoine Griezmann with Atlético Madrid must be up there, at least looking at the recent examples. Regarding Trainers, Carlo Ancelotti with Real Madrid.
  2. Mason Mount | 2023/24 Performances

    Besides that Bruno would benefit from rotating with Mount, we imperatively need to rotate Mainoo in order to protect him. I do not want our generational talent to end up like Barcelona's Pedri and Gavi due to being severely overplayed for short-term gain.
  3. Mason Mount | 2023/24 Performances

    Honestly, considering the way we have been playing this season without him, I would like to agree with ETH that a fit Mason Mount is an absolute necessity. Nobody could predict that he would miss most of the season injured, I would be reasonable to stop blaming ETH for a transfer that did not...
  4. Frenkie De Jong - Part 3?

    I honestly believe he would not mind joining us. The problem is that he is fully aware that Barça cannot pay the money he is owed and therefore sticks with them and postpones the issue. If he would have signed for us earlier, he would have just renounced on way too much money but "cancelling"...
  5. Darwin Núñez | Liverpool player | Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shish

    Xabi Alonso, pure class on and off the pitch. But overall I tend to agree with you.
  6. Players whose names are a lie

    Bastian Schweinsteiger translates to "pig climber" (German) Zoophila is a felony.
  7. All ticket/travel information thread - 2023/24 edition - Please be careful purchasing tickets

    Thank you to both of you! I have got my ticket in the away sector and shed a few tears of joy - a dream is coming true after supporting United for so many years. I will make sure to sing louder than any manc in the visitor sector. Hope my work colleagues won't need me to use my voice the next day.
  8. All ticket/travel information thread - 2023/24 edition - Please be careful purchasing tickets

    I live about 1km away from the stadium in Bern and have watched United on TV for nearly 10 years, been on caf nearly every day for the last 5 years. As a student, I never managed to visit OT/Manchester (yet). Now I read the club might not sell out its contigent. Do you think there is a chance I...
  9. Jurgen Klopp Sack Watch

    I wanted Fanta but there was nothing but Sprite to choose from.
  10. Rate the foreign imports at United by nationality

    One country is still missing in the list: Uruguay with Forlan (although I have never seen him play for us myself), Varela, Cavani and hopefully soon Pellistri. Being Swiss, I really hope we bag Zakaria soon and I am happy with dodge the bullet by not signing Embolo. The latter could have been...
  11. Times when teams should have cashed in?

    In a retroperspective we should have shipped Januzay for these claimed 50Mio to PSG.
  12. Football terms/phrases that have gone out of fashion

    Libero Haven't heard it for at least decade.
  13. Fred’s value

    You might be right, there is surely is a tendency to use superlatives when praising our favorite players. The use of language evolves and boulevard football media is doing its part too - their headlines alone are good examples and yes, "good" is "not good enough anymore". One other explanation...
  14. Fred’s value

    Fred is immense and brings so much speed, mobility and structure in our game. We would be absolute garbage without him and I do not want to imagine our league position. People who still can not appreciate having him on the pitch should really ask themself question who could possibly do a better...
  15. Fred | 2019/20 Performances

    Seems he and AWB were the only two players that could win us a ball today. I know, he was far from perfect, passing was definitely below expectations, but Fred was one of our better players todays. I really appreciated to see how hard he was working even if nothing was going our way.
