Who’s fault was it when he passed straight to a Wolves player twice leading to their best chances?
On the topic of the thread. I’d say he couldn’t be far off the worst to play 100 games for us.
Is Fred the worst regular starter for United in living memory?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

He's become the scapegoat, the majority of the team has been woeful.
Shit thread when you're mentioning Blind in your OP.
People keep talking about him doing the job of multiple men, but his mistakes came from him being unable to pass the ball, or receive the ball under pressure 
He very nearly cost us 2 goals. If he was playing like he did for the majority of last season then this thread would be ridiculous but if it was just based on his appearances this season it is very fair, attrocious.
He's horrible but Ole's setup does him no favours whatsoever. He's criminally exposed out there and the fact that all of our players are statues off the ball makes it so difficult to pick out passes.
Absolute liability today, he's playing for Wolves basically.
Daley Blind was a few levels above Fred in terms of ability.

This, the guy has no composure whatsoever. Pogba has not helped in this case though.People keep talking about him doing the job of multiple men, but his mistakes came from him being unable to pass the ball, or receive the ball under pressure
Fred or Lindelof
But he definitely isn't the only one. We've been struggling to make 5 yard passes all over the pitch.
He's fine with McTominay next to him. Any single midfielder next to Pogba will struggle.
Exactly one of my personal favourite United players of all time
I guess somebody has to carry the can for the failings of our coaching staff.
I cannot understand how a manager looks at him in training all week and cocking up every week in games and decides "Yes, he is a guaranteed starter."
Fred is a joke but this is Solskjaer's fault.

It’s ridiculous, he is being asked to do something he doesn’t have skillset to do and is being made to look stupid.
When did some of you start watching football?
Did Pogba force him to make a stray pass and fall over trying to tackle someone to nearly cost us a goal or let the ball bounce off his knee directly to let them counter and nearly cost us a goal?
He's having a bad game, but has a real tough gig out there with Pogba.
Very lucky not to have played a big role in an opening goal, but just about got away with it.

I’m a huge Fred fan. He has been awful today, truly awful. Some of it is down to tactical issues, some just bad play by him. I would bring on Cavani for James, and if we still can’t get the ball off them then i would also bring on Donny for Greenwood and play Pogba on the wing.
He’s up there with Dan James

Fred vs the entire Wolves midfield
Who would you have started in front of him today out of interest?
Makes it all the more crazy when we play such a liability in midfield by himself
By that do you mean pass the ball? If so, I agree.
Agreed, he’d be very useful in a team that played to its strengths rather than ole just plugging people in like it’s FM
Fred is the only player there capable of defending outside ofthe defenders
Another bit of evidence to not allow posters to make threads mid game @Niall
I'd say if by "regular starter" you're talking someone who starts 25+ PL games a season then must definitely be up there. Woeful player
I'm not one of the Fred bashers, but hes been terrible so far. Him handling the ball like a hot potato is not tactics
Fred is a big weak link, the midfield should be the drive.
No one would believe that he is from Brazil.
100%.People keep talking about him doing the job of multiple men, but his mistakes came from him being unable to pass the ball, or receive the ball under pressure
Fred's touch is not consistently good for the speed at which we need to play. It never will be.
He's great at making a nuisance of himself but that shouldn't have cost us £50m. We already had Herrera who was good at doing that.
“We need creativity in the midfield to feed our forwards”
Puts Pogba in there. No creativity. No tempo. No fight. He’s better further forward. Feel bad for Fred but he’s also been shite. 3 Wolves players around him for every mistake then just picking him off

No but where was Pogba then or any of the other times they’ve attacked?
These knee jerk threads during games are pointless.
Blind was very good for us. And Fred is (maybe doesn’t currently look like it) better than Cleverley, our full-backs in 18-19, De Gea in 18-19(-20), Memphis, Sanchez, Pereira and Mhkitaryan. And that is only off the top of my head.
His passing has been shite but I do have sympathy for him out there today. He's playing in midfield by himself.
We won three major trophies with Daley Blind as a regular in our side. Don’t even compare him to Fred. Chalk and cheese
What? Are you taking the piss? Blind was a very good player.
He is up there for sure. The worst thing is he is currently our only decent option there with Scott out for some time.
Pogba is 10 times better as an attacking mid, as is Donny. Matic doesn`t have the legs for it.
How we have gone through yet another transfer window without improving that position is truly mindboggling.

Donny watching him from the bench must be close to a mental breakdown. I’d be straight into the office with a transfer request.
I am not asking Fred to do Pogba's job, I am asking him to do his. If Pogba passes like shit and nearly costs us 2 goals then I will have a go at him.
