It's just not acceptable that we're starting our first league match with Mcfred. Everyone including Ten Hag is responsible for that.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Clean Slate FC strikes again
Shambles of a club. Why get rid of Ralf from this consultancy role? Why did we allow the manger just to sign his players only? Surely we had a list of players?
He has a reputation for being ruthless. Let's hope.
Fraud of a manager. 50m+ on Martinez. Sticking with Mcfred, Rashford and Sancho.
Well, at least we had a good pre-season.
This should be no surprise if anyone watched us in pre season. "Pre season performances don't matter." you say? Nah. Good teams win football matches. Shit ones don't.
Did we?
He needs 5 or 6 new starters to do anything in this league. Half of his team is bottom table quality.
He needs time but we are doomed if he doesn't drop his demands for midfielders. We simply cannot have Frenkie as the only purchase option. Unacceptable.
3rd Manager in a row making the same mistake of starting Shaw, Maguire, Mctominay and Fred.
He can't be serious with this BS? He'll be a new De Boer if he can't come up with better than this.
Told you lot our last 2 games in pre-season are a harbinger of things to come. Atletico only played 1 game before meeting us and we made Rayo look competitive.
I posted a while ago (at the beginning of the window) saying that he will follow his predecessors if McT will stay in the club past the summer let alone continue starting the games.
LVG vibes. Brighton are the new Leicester.
Ten Hag is now realising how competitive the Premier League is.
But but but we beat Liverpool 4-0 in pre season
The freaking DoF should have just done his job rather than have the manager waste a season confirming what we've already known for 3 years.
We needed 2 double pivot midfielders from the beginning. As sweet as martinez is on the ball a CB shouldn't been behind 2 midfielders on the priority list.
Martinez & Sancho been playing well.
Could have known this thread was going to become a dumpster fire
I really hope he has a back up plan to FdJ.
It almost seems like arrogance to suggest the club will develop a FDJ. It's not a slight against ETH but this is a very competitive league. United need four additions including two midfielders and two attackers.
We don't have that sort of money, or the wage budget to match.
How about you form an original opinion concerning United instead of constantly moaning about others discussing United on a discussion board
At least with LVG we played well for a few games before imploding
What the feck did you fecking lunatics expect, to suddenly turn from a 6th-9th placed team to title contenders?
Of course we are going to be shit, no matter who the manager is. I think some of you really don't understand we have Maguire, Fred, Mctominay, Rashford, Dalot and, to an extent, Bruno starting . They are very average players, bar Bruno, who is a bit of a waster but seems he can't fit any setup in any team, he's all over the place.
This squad needs serious reinvestment and serious re-coaching, and that doesn't happen over a summer.

We have completed a full decade of being continuously shit and yet that's all you care about.
The good thing is though, once he does get sacked we won't find it hard to sell all our players. He'll probably want them all at his next club so he doesn't have to work with anyone new
Appalling from them both. You will struggle in any football match if you can’t control the midfield.
This would happen if we played in La Liga too. Half his squad is not good enough. Simple.
Can anyone seriously say theyve seen anything different compared to the football last season?
I've watched with close interest to gauge what system or changes in play and build up and I've seen nothing at all.
I just don't think the players have bought into his philosophy. However ultimately they aren't good enough that they are capable of changing their play style. It's like trying to teach an old dog new tricks, we need a major clear out.

We need to give ETH two CMs, a striker and a RB ASAP if we're ambitious
He has the players to not be hammered by Brighton. Not a good start. But I think we fans have faith that it will improve. It isn't all about players though
He's not been backed by our dysfunctional board in the transfer market, and this is the inevitable product.
Quality players are more important than any manager.
Club is broken beyond repair. I've just given up now and resigned to that fact.
Managers doing the same thing other managers do with that lineup… cmon. The talent is lacking.
ffsTell you what Erik you can sign who you want but if you persist with McFred it’s only going one way.
