You can have a money to buy quality but Money cannot buy the stamina, until you have a big money to own two decent team to rotate at the time. One game per week and two game per week is a different consideration for how you set up the game play. You can tell player run around in a game, but can you tell them run around two game a week, and continues to run two games a week in whole season？
There's no point in listening to their opinions any more, the longer Solskjaer tenure continues the more stupid they look.
I'm not sure why this is hard to grasp. The guy said there's no other team in the prem that players nicer football than us apart from city. This isn't true. We don't play "attractive" football when compared to the teams I listed. Stamina, winning and anything else you want to bring into the discussion aren't relevant because we simply don't play more attractive football then every other team bar one. I'll bite anyway. I find it funny you saying money can't buy stamina, of course it can it buys the squad big enough to allow for that kind of play. You do realise Man city have won the league at a canter, and are in all comps and play an intense pressing game?
Yup, this is it for me. The 3 main reasons I'm bored with football at the moment:
As bad as United have had it this season, spare a thought for the Vancouver Canucks in the NHL. They've had 21 players contract Covid, with varying degrees of symptoms, won't have played a game for 3 weeks and are expected to play 19 games in 31 days, including 5 in the first 7 days!
Bayern Munich for one, the fact that Bellingham is 17 as their dominating main is a shocker, but their play is quality and he’s quality. So clearly some teams are taking advantage of English talent in the best way. I’m not saying the bundersliga is better I’m not delusional, I’m just saying their play is definitely more exciting, and on top of that, the way Real Madrid thrashed Liverpool was entertaining to say the least, we’ve got a lot of work to do. No point having a team of younguns if they’re lazy and get butthurt when we concede.
....welcome to Manchester United fan club. congratulations.
Haha!! I've been a diehard ever since I was a snotty little boy. Maybe not being at Old Trafford for so long has taken its toll. Still, my love and support for the club is never in question, regardless of how we play, the manager in charge or the trophies we do/don't win.
Cheers mate, enjoy the win today.
If we start playing like that every game I want a fecking statue right next to Charlton, Best and Law!!Cheers mate, enjoy the win today.
Maybe this thread is a jinx thread after all..
I don't know about that. We were knocked out by Leicester and they're in an even tighter fight for top 4 than us. We have just played badly in some cup games. We don't have the squad depth of City or Chelsea but that's only so much of an excuse.
Are you just going to ignore the fact that we had a widweek game and Leicester did not?
And? I still don't see that as an excuse for a 3-1 loss. If you look hard enough, you can excuse anything.
What else do teams need a big squad for? You admit we don't have a big squad like City and Chelsea and then say thats no excuse, but then why do City and Chelsea need a big squad then? Do they just like spending money?
The 5 nil nils highlight one of the positions we really need a top signing in and that's a striker.
Bigger squads obviously help but it's not like it's impossible otherwise or that every squad is either big or small and only the big ones get to play midweek and then win. We got knocked out of the FA cup last year by Chelsea which had a weaker squad than they do now and knocked out of the Europa league by Sevilla. Did Istanbul have a bigger squad than us?
Bellingham is not in bayern
You shouldn’t come into the Fred thread if you dislike short memories
We always player better when behind, which shows that we are playing with the brakes on most of the time. When we are forced to go for it, we can play some lovely football.

Honestly it was night and day when everything stopped having to go through Rashford. Fred Shaw and Pogba overloaded that side moved the ball and just did the simple things well. That’s what won the game for us. That long spamming out ball to find Rashford 1 v 1 needs to stop as one of our main threats. It’s throwing momentum away on repeat. Our other forwards might as well be back defending when he gets the ball most of the time. The one good thing he did yesterday was lay the ball off for Fred fast on the edge of the area for his goal. A Bit of variation never hurt. Also the endless interplay on the wings. Be brave and hit an early cross. That’s Cavanis livelihood. No point in finally giving it him outside the box marked by 2 players. What yesterday showed me is we don’t particularly need this new DM except for against the most tactical sides in the CL. What we do need is a younger option up front and serious rotation on the wings. Rashford clearly needs some competition/rest and to stop trying to do it all himself. I think it’s all ahead of us if we keep going the way we are and we spend our money better this summer. Sancho hopefully
Very true.
Whichever side of the fence you're on in the debate in this thread, I think we will all agree the key really is consistency. If we can start to replicate that second half more often, and it doesn't need to be all the time by any means, this thread will die. It would, however, be typical of our season to then labour to a draw or one-nil win versus Burnley next game and see this thread then blow up again.
You mean bigger or better or both? They just dont have a bigger, they also have a better squad.
I think the injustice that we felt in the first half sparked us on in the second. So in a way we were on the way to be boring Utd. That helped a lot and even Ole recognized that in the post match interview.
I genuinely don't think I've seen Rashford not injured since last season's win at City - he gets kicked every game now and looks like he's just had the walls of Jericho done after every challenge.Honestly it was night and day when everything stopped having to go through Rashford.

Ole has done so well with an incomplete team. An unfit Rashford, free transfer Cavani, second season syndrome Mason and Martial who does this every time a striker is brought in. The Pogba situation etc. None of them have had a top season and we are second. If we get the chemistry right in the forwards I really think we are nicely set up. It used to be that the team was probably even more toxic than the fans but it’s definitely the other way around these days
Ya, we need 4 more world class so there is room to rest other players, we need to become stronger. The big clubs like Madrid and City have many players Who Are very good on each position
