  2. Strategies to get United out of this mess?

    Does Mainoo have a single senior assist to his name? This would be a wild leap of faith, to put it lightly.
  3. Harry Amass | Signs professional contract

    Sounds like as long as Amass is as good as the best in football history we've got nothing to worry about.
  4. How good was Dwight Yorke?

  7. Selling Martial, Casemiro and Varane in January would make sense

    1. van Gaal 2. Ten Hag 3. Solskjaer 4. Mourinho 5. Moyes
  11. How would you like us to approach the Liverpool game?

    Are we erratic though? We win quite a lot (against anyone shit) and lose quite a lot (against anyone half decent). Feels to me we are very consistent in that sense. Liverpool, unfortunately, are decent.
  12. xG and finishing under ETH
