Bit harsh on Elanga mate, full Sweden international and 50 appearances for United. I’d class him a success. He’ll certainly have a top flight career in the top 5 leagues. There’s plenty more forwards who’ve played for the academy in recent years that are down in the lower leagues right now.

Think it’s time we all start picking a Saudi team. Can someone with good knowledge of the league make a bit of a one stop guide to all the teams. Players signed, manager, players linked with, team history etc.

Mount, Rice, Hojlund and a GK would be a decent summer I reckon. If we can ship Fred, McT and Donny it leaves us with Casemiro, Eriksen, Bruno , Rice, Mount as our senior midfield options with Mainoo and Hannibal still around too.

Don’t actually think this is the worst deal, people are saying the sell on clause is 40-50%. Maybe we could’ve got £5m elsewhere now but if he proves how good he is we can maybe get half of a £20-30m fee in a few years (very hypothetical of course). The sell on clause basically gives us the...

Looks like we'll end up with Mount, Holjund, a CB (KMJ/Timber) and a GK. Caicedo would be the icing on the cake but dont think we have the funds.

So unfortunate his career for us has majority been spent playing infront of De Gea and next to Maguire. Class player

Think people are being super harsh on Malacia, £15m signing from the Dutch league who played in big wins over City and Barcelona not too long ago. Sounds like hes been nursing a little niggle so maybe that effected him on Thursday. Generally hes been defensively solid all season when called upon...

Anyone think he'll be in contention for the England squad this time around? Southgate has said in the past hes not good enough on the ball but surely he'll have seen the improvements this season. With the Walker scandal and Reece James only just back from injury I reckon theres a small chance.

Literally my thoughts. Even that Salah volley, Mctominay gets something on the ball, goes straight back to a liverpool player, gets something on it again and it bounces up perfectly for Salah. Then Shaw kicks it on someone and it falls at Salahs feet for his second.

Theres been a lot of talk recently in the media etc about his poor distribution, but thats nowhere near as bad as his lack of presence imo. I watched Liverpool yesterday holding their high line knowing that their keeper will claim every cross in the penalty box and sweep when he needs to. Our...

A lot of people seem to want us to keep Fred and sell Mctominay this summer. I dont think either is good enough to start but both are useful squad options. I personally think its so clear we need to keep McT and get rid of Fred. Fred has been good next to Case but hes touching 30 now and relies...

Looking back I can’t believe how unlucky we were to have Brighton and Brentford as our first two games. Everyone can see now that outside the usual big 6 these are probably the 2 toughest teams to play this season. If the fixtures went another way, I reckon we’d have more chance at the title...

Think his ability to play out from the back could actually help us with the kind run of fixtures coming up. Still gutted for Varane though.

Pretty obvious he should have stopped the 2nd (punching the corner ball out) and 6th (near post save) for me. Anyone else also feel like a proactive keeper would have claimed KdB’s cross for the 3rd? Commentators never pick up on it but he’s rooted to his line letting a ball go in to his 6 yard...

Would have liked to see Bernard/Mengi and Galbraith on the plane. Other than that, no complaints really but our squad needs some new midfielders/attackers ASAP.
