Offers little especially considering his wages and physical decline. Another great (dare I say even legendary) player we sign too late in his career. I fully expect him to not be part of the team next season.

I think the overall cash situation of the club is in his favor. Knowing us, they isn't a clause in his contract that enables us to release him with minimal or no compensation so us finishing outside of the top 5 will not be a saving grace. INEOS will buy the players they want, tell him how they...

Isn't the book about Karsa's offspring or am I mistaken?

Hope the club of the guy they are trying to poach takes them to the cleaners.

Wasn't it confirmed that he has a sprained ankle? Not a horror injury by any means. Anyway, I think the ship has sailed. He has regressed and probably will find it difficult adapting to the PL. Not to mention the fee and wages.

Yeah, first time I see the winning team acting like they lost the shootout. Conveyed my feelings perfectly, since I'd stopped caring if we win a while ago.

Maybe, and I agree that some players have to go. That being said, what you indirectly imply is that no manager could improve things because the issue is entirely internal, which I can't agree with. Yes, things at the management level should change and improve, but this does not necessarily...

Does it matter what it is at this point? It has been happening the whole season with absolutely no viable solution in sight by EtH. As I said previously, being unable to address issues in your team is the major downfall of any top manager and this has be recurring issue for multitude of games

You can blame the players and they are at fault but this has happened so many times now that he surely should have devised a strategy to deal with such cases. Not being able to negate deficiencies in your team is a major downfall for all managers. Nobody is judged on his performance if he had 11...

Watched the replay again and I don't think it was. If he did touch it, it was such a marginal connection with the ball that it did not change the trajectory. I think he should have done better for the second goal. He had ample time to react. Otherwise he had a decent game.

He isn't worth the trouble. We'll have to constantly pamper him so he doesn't flip again. All the while hoping for something we've seen only glimpses of for the past 3 years. Not to mention he should be made an example of. Now more than ever it is important for players to show restraint when...

I really do not think there is anything he can do save his job. I find the notion that in 5 games he can somehow negate the damage done in 42 unrealistic. Him staying will be due to the stars aligning in his favor. His sacking/staying will be a complex decision based on finances, replacement...

Yep, I think they were hoping for a smoother resolution and the current events might throw a wrench in planning for next season. This is part of the reality we are going to face in the transfer market as well, so it might be a nice reminder for them that when it comes to United other teams have...

Saw it in IMAX yesterday and it was brilliant. Highly recommended for cinema viewing.

Can't really judge him based on that game. Not at fault for both games (I believe he was saving that shot if Martinez had not touched it). A bit shaky with his passing but he's had 0 playing time all season that that is to be expected. I wouldn't mind him starting the next 2-3 games but we know...
