  1. Rasmus Højlund | 2023/24 Performances

    In today's edition of player signs for United and is not being used to his strengths, we simply do not supply him with enough passes in advanced areas. I think his hold up play is a bit meh but his main strengths are his movement off the ball and his ability to use his pace to run at teams/run...
  2. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    To be fair to Ten Hag, even after Frenkie de Jong left Ajax, they still played the same possession style and dominated the Eredivisie. He just shifted from relying on de Jong's unique talent for dribbling out of pressure to relying on Martinez, Timber and Blind to pass their way out of it. But...
  3. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Don't know if this has been posted on here but there's a video from 2019 of Ruud Gullit and Erik ten Hag on Dutch TV arguing about how open Ajax's midfield is and how teams can just run through their midfield unopposed if they beat the press. Interesting viewing as most of the clips used to...
  4. Who replaces Ten Hag?

    Been seeing press moot Thiago Motta as the next United manager and I just want to throw in my 2 cents that, just like Potter (and possibly Southgate), I think this is probably some journalist putting 2 and 2 together. Southgate seems like an easy enough rumour to come up with - high profile...
  5. Who replaces Ten Hag?

    Don't know how reliable Gazzetta Dello Sport or Davide Stoppini are but apparently Liverpool are interested in him as Klopp's replacement but he's not interested in leaving Inter both "for family reasons and sporting ambitions". His current contract is till 2025 and the current plan is...
  6. Facts about football that shouldn't be true - but are

    Came across this incredible fact on Twitter - With Maurizio Sarri resigning at Lazio, now each of the last 10 Chelsea managers pre-Pochettino - dating back to when Ancelotti left in 2011, will be out of work this summer. 1. Andre Villas Boas - Sacked by Marseille in 2021, not worked since. 2...
  7. Marcus Rashford (Out) | Ornstein: United want to keep, will only consider substantial bids

    Honestly, if anyone offers 100m for Rashford, we should take it and run. Given that Mbappe is going to Madrid, and they also have Endrick coming in the summer, who Ancelotti has said is going to go straight into the first team squad, and there's absolutely no chance they let Vinicius go, so we...
  8. Who replaces Ten Hag?

    I think Ineos will want the same kind of attacking, play-out-from-the-back, high-press football that all the top teams play now and will try to get a coach in line with those principles. After Brailsford did an audit at Nice last year to try and fix the problems there, they appointed a new...
  9. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    This has nothing to do with the team and he's still our Pep Guardiola is my idol but anyone else feel like the top of ETH's head is weirdly flat? Don't want to alarm anyone but I think he might be a Xenomorph.
  10. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    He has. As has Gary Neville.
  11. Next permanent manager | Poll updated

    Loved Van der Sar as a player, not really sure if there's a role for him at United given he's the Ajax CEO and not the Director of Football. At any rate, if I'm correct, Ajax have appointed Peter Bosz and Erik ten Hag as the managers in VDS' time as CEO. If ten Hag leaves in the summer and they...
  12. Bruno Fernandes on Europa League Final, looking ahead to the new season etc. | "Manchester United is ready to win trophies."

    New Bruno Fernandes interview I came across. He talks about the differences between playing for Sporting and Manchester United, how he felt United had the quality to beat Villareal in normal time and the disappointment in losing the final, Italy winning the Euros, his favourite players growing...
  13. Gary Neville puts fan questions to Sir Alex | Sir Alex: "What the hell is LADbible?"

    New Sir Alex interview promoting his film. Mason Greenwood must be buzzing!
  14. Bruno Fernandes | 2020/21 Performances

    Absolutely elite.
