  1. Kobbie Mainoo | 2024/25 Performances

    He may thrive in 3 midfield systems which have other 2 midfielders who are very good at progressing, duel and passing. What he can do is only link up in small space, but lack all other attributes to be good CM. If I'm decision maker, I'll sell him and keep Garnacho.
  2. Harry Amass | 2024/25 Performances

    In U18 games, he keep the ball very well and rarely loose the ball. But today, when it's in physical game, he's out of the league and show that he's still too young. Chido Obi Martin, Amass, Fredricson are not strong enough and lack all necessary experience to be competent players in EPL.
  3. Chido Obi | 2024/25 Performances

    He's not ready to lead the line. Perhaps, in 2 CF system, he may be useable as substitute. So, it'd better loan him out next season. The kind of forwards we have always lack of running pressure to the opponents .... no matter Hojlund, Zirkee or Obi Martin.
  4. What do we still need? Aka The never ending story

    Our recruitment is so bad. Dorgu is another LWB who offer nothing only physical but fail as everything else including ball controlling, passing, vision and IQ. Yoro is another hype youngsters that newspaper lied that Real Madrid chased to sign him. He failed most of duel and lack of...
  5. What do we still need? Aka The never ending story

    We really need high performance players and mix blend of physical & technical players. Cunha (62.5M) He get whoscore Rating 7.36 in 2025, 7.13 in 2024 and show overall good metrics except Aerial stats. His price tag is a bit expensive but should be able to deliver right away in EPL...
  6. Between our scouting and recruitment, how do we keep getting it so wrong?

    The recruitment team is the big problem. If recruitment is really hitting the point with proper payment on the deal and wage to get good level of physical and technical on incoming players, we'll rely less on the manager. No matter Ten Hag, Mourinho, or Amorim is our manager, they can do the...
  7. Which players should stay for the rebuild?

    Keep long term: Amad, Heaven All others players can be sold with the right price even cutting loss.
  8. Manuel Ugarte | 2024/25 Performances

    Ugarte - Good by Whoscore (Rating 7.15 at PSG), Poor by DataMB (Poor for progress pass, forward pass, carrying) The free version of stats told us in the advance that he could be average in much better league. I assume that our scout and recruitment has all the power in their...
  9. Patrick Dorgu | 2024/25 Performances

    We're not the one who scout the player extensively by watching him play in the stadium and accessing in-depth data to identify he's right one. But free version of stats show that he's just average. Dorgu - Poor by Whoscore (Rating 6.48-6.57 in last 2 seasons), Average metrics by...
  10. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach | Thread locked during matches

    Newcastle show what kind of characteristic and what type of players a good team should have. 1. Physical and speed dominant. 2. Technical neatness for touch and pass. 3. Awareness and off-ball movement. 4. Aggressive pressure as a team 5. Flexible style either by possession and explosive...
  11. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach | Thread locked during matches

    Why are club recruitment team always fail to identify good players? Even an average fan using simple tools can see that most of United’s recent signings are more likely to form a below-standard team. Hojlund - Poor by Whoscore (Rating 6.67), Poor by DataMB Yoro - Average by...
  12. What do we still need? Aka The never ending story

    The most obvious issue is recruitment. For over a decade, Manchester United has consistently made poor recruitment decisions and often retaining overpaid & underperforming players. In today's game, using data for effective recruitment is straightforward but either the club isn't using it at all...
  13. Matheus Cunha £62.5m release clause | Not a striker

    I think he's getting to his peak of career. I actually like Bryan Mbeumo a bit more but since we have Amad for Right 10 position already, the Left 10 position is more crucial if we sell Rashford, Sancho, Antony and Garnacho.
  14. U21s: Reading vs United

    For Kone, I think he's still not getting on the ball as much as it should be. His team mates often bypassed him in the build up phase because he made himself unavailable in the close marking of 1 or 2 opponents. I hope that he learn and improve this aspect with guidance from coaching staffs...
  15. Jaydan Kamason

    - Kamason is suitable for RWB role so I want to see some appearances to see what he can offer and how good he can adapt in the 1st team level. - Moorhouse is a great ball carrier. I want to see what he can do in the 1st team level either in the Left 10 or Right 10 position. - Mantato is...
