  1. Van de Beek to Frankfurt | Loan with no mandatory buy option.

    Quite simply, injuries. He’s been half the players since the injuries. He was not picked for a while then the legs went. And unfortunately, he’s not been able to play to his potential. Unable to run in a league known for aggressive running. He wasn’t helped by a shite team and structure too.
  2. Kobbie Mainoo | 2023/24 Performances

    If there’s a single Caf member here who doubts Mainoo after that England performance, they ought to be sent to the sin bin. We have a generational talent in our hands, born and bred in Stockport. INEOS do not muck this up!
  3. Kobbie Mainoo | 2023/24 Performances

    This. Mainoo has all the tools. If his name was Mainoovinga, half the Caf will be pleading United to get him. Why is he worth so much? Look around the world and find a midfielder who is hard to press, strong on the ball, technically strong, efficient in passing, good in the air, intelligent...
  4. Is Southgate underrated by the CAF?

    Southgate… with one of the most talented, technical sides in Europe, played defensive football in the Euros. THIS says everything I need to know. I pray to gods I don’t believe in to hope that Southgate isn’t our next manager.
  5. Kobbie Mainoo | 2023/24 Performances

    He has one of the rarest profiles in the world today. Midfielder who can play as a 6 and an 8, smooth tempo passer, highly technical, strong on the ball and phenomenal in tight spaces. From his academy days I remember he could lace it too. Oh and that tough as nails mentality. Humble. Hard...
  6. Manchester United vs Liverpool

    FECK off scousers. I needed this one more than anything. Some fight. Some passion. Some bloody gumption. Been too fecking long.
  7. Jadon Sancho | 2023/24 Performances | Dortmund (loan)

    No we are. We’ll sell him for good value now. He’s a weak minded player who can’t handle difficult circumstances. Sell well and watch other teams wilt when the crap hits the fan. I’m convinced Sancho is a vibes player. That’s it.
  8. Transfer Tweets - Manchester United - 2023/24

    Let’s hope Berrada can bring his savviness to undo past transfer crimes.
  9. United announce new stadium plans

    What is the BBC doing here? The best people for the job were chosen. Elected officials are elected by a multi-racial public. Seb Coe is a legend. Gary Neville a very successful, local businessman and United legend. Racism can only be accused if the people chosen were all of similar backgrounds...
  10. Terminating The Reguilón Loan Deal

    So Ten Hag was assured Malacia would be ready in January by the Medics. Malacia disappears again. Head of Rehab let go. INEOS recognise that there are serious problems at United at all levels. The manager will be the last to face the fury. Give him a run with a fit squad and good squad...
  11. Rasmus Højlund | 2023/24 Performances

    Not anymore with O’Driscoll in full power since INEOS takeover. Head of Rehab was let go. I hope that is.
  12. Club Ownership

    Berrada starts in June. Ashworth is undetermined. Currently at 2 years. If we have Berrada and Freedman in time, we should be okay for a step 1.
  13. Are you confident of success in the INEOS era?

    When we were run by clowns we challenged twice. Not too close in the end but we were riding a wave. Once under Mourinho and then Ole. I am more bullish than ever about United’s success under serious football operators.
  14. Kobbie Mainoo | 2023/24 Performances

    Sure. But the reason why other talented kids went away was because they couldn’t bring the most crucial element a Manchester United player needs to survive playing for us - consistency. Garnacho found it and will get better with time. Same for Mainoo. Elanga had spurts … then fell off. Wilson...
