"I'm half the player under LvG"

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Seriously doubt that. LvG made Fellaini's career here respectable, so I don't see why he would complain. I think it's either Mata or Herrera.
You're the one who'll have to do the explaining, since you are the one who expected a lot of abuse and then went on to cry about it. Because no matter how you look at it, the simple fact is that you've been crying an awful lot about people giving you grief for what was a pretty retarded statement.
I mean, seriously, mate, you're something for yourself. You make a controversial statement (that you expect to catch flack for), then you come out swinging when people call it what it is (a retarded statement). Then you act all tough and nonchalant, while at the same time accusing others of being "internet tough-guys". You handling of this situation is a perfect example of how not to act when called out for being an idiot.
Rooney has been poor for a few years so I don't see how he could blame his performances on LVG. Memphis maybe although that is more about the step up from the Dutch league.
I don't really get your point, but you seem like the kind of plastic fan everyone talks about.
You're forgetting one important Moyes for most of the players mentioned who were already at the club.Not sure who apparently said this, but I got me thinking: has any attacking player really flourished since LVG arrived? Martial has looked very promising, but after him, I struggle to think of anyone. Rooney has fallen off a cliff (as did Van Persie in his one season with LVGJanuzaj has regressed significantly; Di Maria and Falcao were both busts (probably not LVG's fault in the case of Falcao
Herrera has looked good, so of course he's been an occasional starter at best. Ashley has also improved - he's now a fullback for us most of the time.
One can make excuses for all of the players above not performing, but after a while, a disturbing pattern emerges.
the united stand is just a fan account. Any informat that they make is trolling or for follows. Last summer window, they did some crap that they had a window cleaner friend who saw a fax in Woodward's office about signing Pedro or something
A peering window cleaner with eye sight so good he can read a sheet of paper from outside.So is it Hererra?
Daily Star "reporting" that he is disillusioned now.

To be honest, at the moment I don't care who thinks they're half a player under LvG. They can all leave for all I care. No one's position is secure at the moment, with perhaps the exception of Smalling and De Gea.
I don't see it being Mata or Herrera. If it was I would 100% agree but neither seem the type.
I think its Schniderlin.
Could also be Valdes?

That's a good shout that. De Gea, Smalling and Basti aside, they all have bollox the size of pea's and hearts even smaller. The urgengy in the team is incredibly worrying.
I don't think it's Herrera, he has always said you can talk to LvG, so if he has a problem he will have spoken to him already. Ander comes across as someone who wouldn't go behind the managers back, that he would be brave enough to just say what he thinks to his face and intelligent enough to deal with it. All this is the papers stirring. They know that fans are not happy about the style of play and the fact that Rooney is untouchable, so they are trying to cause even more unrest.I don't see it being Mata or Herrera. If it was I would 100% agree but neither seem the type.

I don't know why Basti would be safer than the likes of Herrera, Rojo or Blind. He's ha a few shockers, and a couple of very average games.
yes and woodward just so happened to keep it on top of the pile
But its not for the want of trying and showing a bit of effort and passion.
TBF your right though those 3 are similar. I thought Rojo was the only one that actually looked like he wanted to win the PSV game in the last 20 minutes or so.
Some of them, quite a lot of them need to remember who they are playing for. Some of them totter about like they've made it and just because they are at United medals are guaranteed. But there isn't a Roy Keane in the side now who rules the roost on the pitch and dishes out bollockings when required.
It doesn't help that nothing comes from the bench. in those last 20 against PSV Fergie would have been jumping up and down and screaming from the touch line. Fair enough if LVG doesn't do that but Giggsy couldn't possibly look any less interested.
My best bet is Memphis. Bar the odd flash he has been largely ineffective.
I doubt it's Rooney (he's been on the wane for a while), Carrick (manager clearly has faith in him as will start 9/10 times when fit and has been publicly praised) or Fellaini (LVG has been the making of him at this club even if he can't really get a look-in at the moment).

He is an assistant. Protocol does not allow Giggs to say or do anything unless specifically asked by the manager during the game.
It's Dea Gea's gf
Do you already have a list of clubs you could possibly switch to? Have you had any offers? I'd recommend Napoli and Sevilla.
Actually Fellaini makes sense but only when you compare his performances this season for us vs his performances in the Belgian national side.
I reckon it's Depay.
I think IF true, it is one of the creative players as the word "express" was mentioned. Perreira? Depay?
You wonder about Memphis, he came here with a lot of hype and has had some real criticism. It might be his way of saying it isn't his fault. If he had been allowed to play like at PSV we would be seeing how good he is. Or of course it could be a fabrication of the papers.

Van Gaal hasn't even commented on this non-event of a story. 'Nuff said.
Rubbish!!
Giggsy apparently regularly gives pre-match team talks. If he is as enthusiastic in them as he looks on the bench then no wonder we always start so pedestrian
Rubbish? You don't think that Van gaal asked him to do the pre-match talks and presentations?
According to good old convenient un named club insider, it's ground hog day every training session.
Three days off after PSV because the poor sods ran around too much. Must be terrible for the little lambs...

of course.
what is rubbish is the idea that van gaal has told him to sit there looking like he couldn't give a f*ck.
I don't expect him to be in the technical area changing our shape etc but I do expect him / any no.2 to be out there dishing out the odd bollocking / gee up!
He will only dish the bollockings if LVG tells him to dish them. At the exception of German Burgos the assistants are rarely going crazy on the touchline and everyone knows that Burgos is crazy.
he's not a puppet.
Lol surely if this was the case, LVG wouldn't have sat on his arse for nearly 2 years and done something about it.
That sudden, I was thinking of a slow and painful torture, similar to reading this thread,
When I was at the emirates watching us get spanked, I posted that as we were leaving we watched the players leave the ground and Fellaini was the only Utd player to leave on his own in a shitty clapped out Mazda at least 20 minutes before the team coach.
probably nothing but thought it was tad weird that he left the ground so early, thought I would add some more fuel to the fire gents.

Pretty obvious it's Fellaini. Really the only other person it could be is Januzaj who obv isnt here. Maybe Ashley Young at a stretch, if he hates playing full back. But 98% chance it's Fellaini.
Mata and Herrera wouldn't give out negative comments anonymously, not a chance. New boys aren't going to either, Martial doesn't speak English and Depay avoids the press. Rooney's career would crumble without Van Gaal at present.
Can't believe people actually think Mata is the sort of person to voice concerns anonymously to Jason fecking Burt.

Hate this anonymous BS. Either the player is a coward, which could be part of his problem of being "half the player he could be" or Burt is making this all up to get clicks.
I actually went down to the paper and talk to some of his co-workers. I had a couple that told me, off the record, that he is an alcoholic and occasionally does massive amounts of drugs with hookers. I have to be careful what I say here as I don't want Burt to find out my sources, but they are very close to him so I am confident it is accurate and the writer can't be trusted.

How is it obvious it's Fellaini? That guy would have gone down in United's Worst Ever XI if Van Gaal didn't give him a second chance
Easy to call him a "coward". It's rare for players to come out with things in public because a) some fans will react badly b) they're likely to be sent to train with the kids.
I wonder if you'd be that brave if you didn't like your boss, or whether you'd just get on with your job like most people would. This is especially the case since neither he nor any other player can pick and choose who's managing the team anyway.
Players confide in other players, some of whom will speak to the press. It's what happens. It's not surprising they would do so if they're not enjoying their football.
Generally the decent journalists have good sources. Whether it's nonsense or not I suspect we'll never know but I wouldn't be surprised if isn't.
A player going to the press to vent their frustrations on the condition of anonymity is cowardly and not the way to handle things. My world is quite a bit different than the one professional athletes live in so it's an apples and oranges thing I think (I could walk tomorrow if I felt it necessary), but, if I felt that my employer was holding me back then yes, I would go to him/her and let them know what I thought the problem was. If I felt that they would not change and that my career would suffer then I would look for a way out of the situation.
However, that was not really the point I was trying to make. My point was that I think it could just as easily be all made up and the fact that anyone can post/write whatever they want with no facts/sources as proof of it really happening/being said is ridiculous. Bottom line is, if a writer is going to publish something of this nature I feel like there needs to be names attached or I will call BS.
