Oof. Harsh but true. Has a nice touch but can’t beat a man consistently, stops and passes back, cuts inside with rarely any end result, pops up with an odd goal and assist. Ashley Young.

Thing is, with Dortmund players, they tend to flatter to deceive, odd generational monsters like Haaland aside. I think it’s mainly from a combination of a style of play, versus a comparatively weaker league in both quality and competition. There’re more pressing needs like a CF that doesn’t...

Assuming that the sell-on clause is 20%, if we ever go back in and buy him off Everton, does it mean we get 20% off the market valuation? If true, that’s in essence a pseudo buyback clause. Top plan :D

Did a job today but his deficiencies, as usual, are bare for all to see. Nothing player going forward - can't pick out a pass, doesn't show himself to help progress the ball. Defensively, he's alright, but one gets a sense that he's always on the verge of a card and potential penalty in and...

Classless and classic case of shitting the hand that fed you. Guess who paid the money? Fans, of which a significant portion of are local Mancunians. If ADM is willing to take the money, then shut up and accept that the city comes along with it. If ‘culture’ is a priority, then Manchester would...

That’s assuming that there is an actual, properly planned out, strategy. The fact that a Rabiot bid was on the table and made it to personal terms discussions before we went all in for Casemiro leads me to think that there isn’t. My take is, the FdJ stand-off and how we’ve been steamrolled to...

We are very leveraged and often spend big on financed deals. I too, agree that the availability of money isn’t an issue. But the way the club’s finances are run is a big issue because it seems entirely contingent on United maintaining a high level of performance, translating then to assets -...

In other words, ineffective and not very competent if he has to do 6-10s and likely wind up without any improvement to our midfield, and what seems to almost definitely be without the manager’s prime target. Vis-à-vis contemporaries who have sorted out their identified areas that need bolstering...

Madness is starting the same nonexistent midfield duo as the last two managers, and expecting our midfield to be better. I’m not sure what McFred has laced t coaches’ cups with but they should NOT be both starting for a United team who has intentions of being progressive and winning a match...

Louis van Gaal would’ve gotten the most success in the long run with a proper DOF set up and not one that pandered to Woodward’s fancies. A sustained winning culture is the sum of all parts - management - coaching staff - players. And unluckily for LvG, the management and recruitment were...

There is a feeling that every player, if they’re prepared to buy into the boss’s coaching, will benefit immensely from it.

To be fair to Camavinga, he broke into the scene as an energetic DM, but I think he’s been showing that he’s more box to box than that. Pogba, lest anybody forgets, was supposed to develop into a box to box player as well when he first broke through with us. Granted, he never flattered in this...

Two today with his left, including a curler into the top corner from out of nowhere. World class. Good with both feet. Beats players with the ball inside and outside, and also moves well without the ball. If there’s one attacking PL player that we should sign, it’s absolutely Son.

When a legend who’s been the main man up top for far longer than you have been playing first team football has to come back and cover for you, you’re done. What has Rashford got on Ronaldo? He’s not even matched Mbappe’s level of achievements, much less CR7’s. If he thinks he can sulk through a...

Even the season under Moyes, the team hasn’t looked this bad. Then it was clear that it’s mostly a coaching and tactical issue. This season, we’ve gone through 2 coaches, and the performance hasn’t picked up. Both have said they want to press, play high octane football. Hasn’t exactly happened...
