Can't be true!

Hi I’m from the future you won’t be happyManchester United haven't won the league since SAF (>5 years).
Always had a stingy board, even before the glazers, who never appreciated the value of marquee signings. Both on the football side & commercial side. The board was always happy with a QF or SF CL finish and never had that football driven motivation to win the CL every year or two. If they did I argue today the glamour club of world football would be Man Utd. That treble win was a missed opportunity
Leicester City were once 5000-1 to win the premier league and won it.
The hilarious thing? The season before I’d been noticing them a lot on MoTD and few games I watched on TV: Vardy, Mahrez (especially), Kante, and the overall they looked like a good team with some class players.
Anyways, they announce Ranieri and I remember being on the phone to someone before the season started and saying “Leicester are actually a good team with some great players, I think with Ranieri they could do very well. Not saying win the league, but maybe push for a CL spot and come short near the end” wrong because they actually won the league , correct because under Rodgers that was pretty much their season for a season or 2

Apparently Disco Football is an actual thing..
Sorry that's complete bollocks, SAF in his tenure broke the British transfer record several times, just because we're Man United doesn't mean every marquee player wanted to join us
As much as the Glazers are a bunch of parasites they have allowed managers to spend big including what was then a record to buy Pogba

Wow that's dreadful... I remember him being inconsistent and frustrating at times, but that bad with goal returns actually surprised me.
The Nanbois have done a number on so many United fans. He was really disappointing to be honest, except for that one year of course
Is that a derogatory term towards people who make bread? I call for a permaban.
white text
Nani is one.
Also theres a trend in social media about Berbatov being almost in the same tier as Ronaldinho because of a few compilation videos of his silky touch. Clearly they werent Utd fans (or even spurs) when you could see him being so frustrating 90% of the time but the 10% he produced some magic which kinda made up for the rest of the time.
The caveat being that in a few of those seasons he played few games, for example 14/15 he played one game before leaving on loan to Sporting. But still the fact is accurate
Why does the text have to be white?
Damnit you got me there
An early iteration of the MLS, the United Soccer Association, was a summer league largely made up of British and Irish teams under different names. For example, Stoke City were the Cleveland Stokers, Dundee United were Dallas Tornadoes and Sunderland were the Vancouver Royal Canadians.
Until this competition, Dundee United had played in white shirts but adopted their tangerine shirts as a result of using the colour while disguised as Dallas.

I humbly disagree on both fronts.
1) the board did break the British transfer record, but they were always reluctant to match European prices and wages. There was the wage structure, which I think was only broken in 2000 when Roy Keane extended his contract. But United lost out on a few players due to not wanting to pay wages, transfer fee etc.
2) The glazers did pay huge money, but it was all part of Ed Woodwards “galatico” project, the objective was always shirt sales & sponsorships first with football a distant second. If you’re going to sign a Pogba you have to follow it up with at least 2-3 other world class players. Like Real did in Galaticos 1 and 2, they didn’t just sign Figo and call it a day. Or in 09 sign Ronaldo and said that’s it.
Man utd have yet to win back to back league games this season
That's feckin depressing. We're in April
I heard this before the Forest game and assumed they were wrong and were actually referring to away games or something.
Genuinely gobsmacked to find out it was true
I wouldn’t be surprised if we went the entire season without doing so. What a car crash of a season this has been. And we all thought that last season was rock bottom.
Neither City or Chelsea would have either but for cheating. Also, weren’t Chelsea in something like 8th place when they won it?Arsenal haven't won the Champions League
Fergie was manager for 2155 games. In all matches where his team took a 3 goal lead, they ended up winning apart from his last ever match.
Steve McClaren won at least one trophy in every season he was at Manchester United across his two spells

00/01 (Premier League)
22/23 (League Cup)

What you trying to say? We should bring him back this season so we can win the Europa League?
