  1. Henrikh Mkhitaryan

    Was also bought under Fergie, so can't quite include him in the terrible recruitment post Fergie.

  2. The RedCafe Boxing Thread

    Inoue won by stoppage.

  3. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

    Don't understand these people who have the narrative of "if you can't see what Amorim is trying to do, then you don't understand football' It was the same under Ten Hag - the football was dire, the results were dire, there was discernible plan but yet people just blindly kept faith in him...

  4. Most unexpected meteoric rises to the top levels in football?

    I don't think you can consider youngsters who were massively hyped who failed at one club before going on to become world class in this criteria. I mean Vardy has to be the first person who comes to mind, passed through academies without being highly rated and then went into semi-professional...

  5. The RedCafe Boxing Thread

    I didn't notice either. In regards to Whittaker, I think he has genuine talent unlike Benn but I don't think he carries enough power to ever be world class.

  6. The RedCafe Boxing Thread

    I honestly have no idea how he's got himself in this position. I get the whole Eubank v Benn thing - but even before that he was linked to Barrios and other belt holders in the division despite being nowhere near that level or even competed at that level. He hasn't even proven himself at...

  7. Post match vs Olympique Lyonnais

    Unrelated but yes.

  8. Post match vs Olympique Lyonnais

    Had a family issue, him and Lindelof both left Old Trafford at half time.

  9. Rashford | Villa | Loan with option to buy

    I do think there was an agenda against Rashford by a lot of our fans. Seeing the same videos of him not 'working hard' popping up constantly, which you could probably find for Roy Keane & Rooney etc. I never saw someone that didn't put an effort in - I wouldn't say he was an exceptionally hard...

  10. Standing on the Ball | Now banned in Brazil

    He got booked for booking the ref.

  11. La Liga 2024/25

    Crazy how obssesed people are with Rashford. Commenting on how amazing a player is and then immediately comparing him to a player in a different league & position who has no relevance at all.

  12. Grand National

    Intense Raffles.

  13. Facts about football that shouldn't be true - but are

    Hmm don't think that's true, without googling it, I seem to remember going a game on NYD at Old Trafford and Tevez scored. Don't think that would have been in 2012 as he was at City at the point.

  14. Jadon Sancho - Chelsea (loan) watch | £5M opt-out fee

    Getting the ball in a lot of dangerous posiitons, dribbles forward 5 yards with the defender retreating and 75% of the time, he turns back and plays it backwards. The other 25%, he comes inside on his right foot, easy to read and gets crowded out. Throws his hands in the air, rinse and repeat.

  15. Alejandro Garnacho | 2024/25 Performances

    He's too careless with the ball, that was an incredibly bad performance. I get young wingers can be inconsistent and make the wrong decision but with Garnacho sometimes it's just the simple basics that lets him down.
