  1. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

    I respectfully and vehemently disagree. I think that this is simply falling into the media narrative.

  2. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

    I have to disagree with this sentiment. The implicit idea is that players are like cogs in a machine. It simply does not work that way. Each individual footballer has their own talents and skills. Even conditioning is not naturally the same for every individual. For example, not everyone can...

  3. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

    I think that the talk that players refuse to change and adapt is a bit silly. Fans often talk of players as if, by being excellent athletes, they are machines. They are not. United players are not giving up. That has become the narrative and I get tired of it. The problems lie elsewhere! One...

  4. Patrick Dorgu | Signed for £25.2m + £4.2m in potential add-ons, until 2030

    Could not agree more!!! I'd rather do this than spend money in this era of financial fair play and try to build a team on transfers.

  5. Patrick Dorgu | Signed for £25.2m + £4.2m in potential add-ons, until 2030

    I like the fact that Dorgu is only 20 years old. But, over the past few years United has been relying heavily on transfers. This is part of what has led to the financial fair play crisis. I'd like to see United go back to more reliance on find young players, teaching them how to play, and...

  6. Really, where are we now?

    My guess is that this will be the last year for Ten Hag. I'd thought he might be the answer, but he seems to carry too much baggage. He allows his own personal issues with players to interfere too much. He freezes some players out for little reason and overlooks problems with others. It does not...

  7. Cristiano Ronaldo - Much Ado About Al Nassr

    Huh? Saudi is doing a form of money laundering, though what it is attempting to launder is its reputation. It's doing this by paying these players astronomical amounts to play there. Still, Filipino women, Africa men who go to work in Saudi get their passports taken from them, often receive no...

  8. Cristiano Ronaldo - Much Ado About Al Nassr

    Does moving to a league in country that murders journalists, kills refugees, practices slavery, funds terrorism, and more for a lot of money enhance your reputation?

  9. Are we a one man team? (And that man is Casemiro)

    Of course, Erickson is also missing. However, we have, at least, adequate backup for Erickson. The problem is that we don't have any real backup for Casemiro. (I think that needs to be a priority summer signing, along with a striker.) Sabitzer offered no help at all against Leeds' press. He did...

  10. Most intelligent players (on the pitch)

    I think that it would be even more interesting to talk about which current United players have good footballing IQ. Definitely, as a few have mentioned, Casemiro is a very intelligent footballer. I'd put Erickson and Varane up there close, maybe not quite at Casemiro's level, but close...

  11. Post match vs Nottingham Forest

    Sorry to nitpick. I was curious to see if Arjen Robben had truly been that prolific of a goal scorer, because - to be honest - I was never much of a fan of his. In his three years at Chelsea, he never topped 10 goals in a season (all competitions included). However, at Bayern he did score more...

  12. United aiming to sell Harry Maguire next summer according to Jamie Jackson

    Don't limit this to English clubs. Maguire would make a good centreback in Italy, Spain, or Germany, too. Maguire is a good centreback. He is not good enough to start in front of Varane or Licha, and I think that Lindelof partners with each of those players better as a sub. But, Maguire is...

  13. Post match vs Nottingham Forest

    I tend to agree with you. Also, he was playing with AWB, who has not linked up well with wingers in the past, so one should not expect it in this game. Antony needs to play a bit calmer, and he wants to cut inside too frequently. It makes him easier to defend if you know what he is going to do...

  14. The Centre Forward Stop-Gap Market

    Then again, I could be very wrong on this. :angel:

  15. Joao Felix / on loan to Chelsea

    What I am saying is that a short-term deal is probably not worth it for Joao Felix. I don't think he fits the profile of what United need over the next 6 months - someone that can contribute 10-15 goal contribution. However, I think a long-term signing might not be a bad idea. From everything...
