  1. Eriksen out injured until April/May

    He's been a good signing for us all things considered, but he shouldn't be playing in the big away games. Certainly not in a deeper role anyway, and especially if Casemiro is out. In both the City and Arsenal games away he's really struggled with the pace of the game and was completely overrun...
  2. Real Sociedad vs Manchester United

    Hopefully Lindelöf starts, that's the biggest priority for a few reasons. But as for RW, I wouldn't mind seeing Bruno play there (as he has a lot of times from the 70min on) with Antony and Sancho out. Or, Garnacho is another option, but it's a tough stadium with rough full backs so it can be a...
  3. Manchester United vs Southampton

    A must win game. Southampton was rampant against Tottenham and given that we conceded while our opponents had very few chances it doesn't look good to us. I'm not confident for this game. We bottled the games against Burnley, Wolves, Villa and Newcastle. We threw our games we had in hand and...
  4. Burnley vs Manchester United

    If Maguire keeps the captaincy and doesn't get dropped, this is the kind of thing that's going to lose the dressing room. Imagine being Varane and seeing that fecking oaf get your first goal disallowed by not even having the sense to stay onside when blocking opponents. Imagine being De Gea and...
  5. Ralf Rangnick | ex-interim manager | does anyone rate him?

    This whole “Vibes FC” or “Moments FC” under Ole was a meme but a meme based on a fact. Ole’s team had a very very rudimentary shape and yes it had tactics but the whole philosophy was mainly based on players being happy, expressing themselves and making their moments count. It wasn’t as much a...
  6. Martial / joined Sevilla on loan

    It’s probably the right move for both parties. The talent is there, but he’s been at United for 6.5 years and hasn’t improved significantly/hasn’t been able to establish himself in the starting lineup. And even without counting Ronaldo and Cavani, we’ve got plenty of competition with Rashford...
  7. Anthony Martial | 2021/22 Performances

    If this is true, then this is why the argument to "save half his wages instead of none" is a poor argument. Let want-away players make concessions if they want to move. As soon as United accept less for one player, they will accept less for all players.
  8. Ralf Rangnick | ex-interim manager | does anyone rate him?

    Rangnick staying behind to help drill the youth players in their debut/one off chance for the season in a dead rubber game. Valverde, Setien & Koeman can't give his players time of day to even send them a review of upcoming opposition and would skip the day after training sessions with the...
  9. Donny van de Beek | 2021/22 Performances

    His play was amazing. The passing, movement, brains, desire. Where have you been all my life DVB? Oh yes, on the subs bench.
  10. Official: Solskjær has left his role as manager

    The last few months were painful but if nothing else, he made me feel like the United I knew was back for more than two years. For the first time since SAF left, I was looking forward to each of our matches around the year. I’m gutted he couldn’t take us to the promised land but his legend...
  11. Would you take Rodgers at United?

    Brendan Rodgers is house hunting in Cheshire according to Alan Nixon. Nixon is very reliable. Hopefully, the move gets sorted out soon. We can still achieve something this season if a new manager comes in.
  12. Manchester United vs Manchester City

    Ronaldo played full game against Liverpool, 71 against Spurs and full game again against Atalanta. Infact, Ronaldo has started each of our games since October 16 and the games against Spurs was the only one he was subbed out in. Ole does a really bad job of protecting the assets of this club...

    Forgot he was going out with Bergkamp’s daughter, get that child into the academy as soon as possible.
