  1. The Incredible Sulk – also known as Marcus Rashford

    Big up all the cafe users who had to endure the attempts of excommunication from others due to the mere suggestion that Rashford has flaws (some of which that are major). Saw so many getting dunked on when sharing reservations about rashford new deal. Hopefully he can turn it around but...
  2. David De Gea Appreciation Thread

    Would be interested to know if fans longed for Van Der Sar to come out of retirement in De Gea's first season at United.
  3. Exciting time for the academy ?

    I think there's definitely much to be positive about the academy at the moment. The FA Youth Cup win in 2022 was probably the best moment for the club that season, given how bad the senior team were. What I would say however is that United fans are longing for another Busby babes, class of 92...
  4. Was the Casemiro signing a mistake?

    Mixed bag signing I think is the best way of describing it. Short term it filled a gap in midfield, improved the team and ultimately helped us in the first season to win a trophy and get top 4. However, most knew that it was a panic buy which lacked much long term thinking. Maybe we didn't...
  5. Is Mainoo the real deal?

    Garner has never looked as good as Mainoo in any senior game he's played.
  6. Is Mainoo the real deal?

    I reckon it's too early to say. Mainoo could be moulded into a busquets type player or a Xavi type player. Really depends on what type of skillset he's able to develop. Ah okay yes in that case definitely. From the sounds of it Mainoo has a good team around him. So did Pogba at the beginning...
  7. Is Mainoo the real deal?

    I don't think Pogba and Mainoo are comparable. Two different type of players. Pogba could never receive it on the half turn like Mainoo can and likewise, Mainoo probably doesn't have the same level of flair and technique in the final third Pogba has. I reckon both together would've complemented...
  8. Is Mainoo the real deal?

    Definitely is the real deal but football can be an unforgiving sports. Lots of talented players can be derailed by poor management, bad luck or external influences. The key for Mainoo is to get gametime but also not be forced to be a starter week in week out. My worry isn't in his talent but...
  9. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    ETH has made Bruno and Rashford untouchable. So have some of the caf members. It's backfiring spectacularly.
  10. The RedCafe Boxing Thread

    I disagree that HW is a shit division. The talent pool is much better than the 2000s-early 2010s. There's plenty of talented fighters, some good fights are getting made but the division is being held up by Fury's antics and continuous rematch clauses from AJ.
  11. Gaming Starfield | Metacritic (Series X): 83, OpenCritic: 86

    If you showed a novice Cyberpunk now and on release, they wouldn't believe it was the same game. It's quite astonishing how they've managed to salvage the game, although not the financial losses I'm guessing.
  12. Marcus Rashford new contract thread | It's officially signed

    Rashford probably since the start of Ole's reign has been the focal point of our attack and still remains that to this day. He's blessed technically and athletically. When he strings it all together he can be spell binding. However, his IQ and decision making is so poor. He can go through games...
  13. Rasmus Højlund | Signed for United

    Feel like this signing is a game changer for United. Check out Raees' video on Højlund. It's definitely got me excited for the new season!!
  14. Mason Mount | Confirmed

    If you haven't managed to catch this, Raees' breakdown of Mount's game. I think by United's standards - not the biggest 'overpayment' I have seen. Going to be intriguing how Mount is used as it isn't a seamless fit into this side and that does concern me but can ETH unlock new elements from...
