So if the players don't come back is he going to hold that against them?

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?
He may be a good person but don't want MATA anywhere near team and Valencia.
All rhe players should be shown aggressive episodes of Peaky Blinders

Reading threads last night, in some segments it was like watching some political moves during a campaign, using one fake quote to smear all other ones as fake, focusing on that one while talking about them all etc.
Can't really judge as we have not seen our full team play yet, but Pereira looks the part.
Sorry, I can’t worry about a preseason result especially post a World Cup.
How’d Fred look? I could not watch the game. Thanks.

The style of play is very much dependent on the players available and strength of the opposition.
If only our manager used different language, we will do our best, we have exciting young talent, with additions we will fight for the title..
And not we are sh!t and most of my players are w*ankers

Do you honestly think we'd play drastically better from a style POV if all our starters were ther ?
That's the problem though, performance wise plenty of games last season with the full first team was just as bad.
Jose's going full Moyes. You never go full Moyes.
Jose REALLY doesn't like to lose, even in meaningless preseason games, and can't help himself sometimes in interviews after defeat. The fact he is a born winner is his biggest asset, and greatest weakness.
True. I was just responding to a post saying they wanted to see a better style of play despite acknowledging we had a much weaker team than the opposition. That's never going to happen. I thought we showed some decent attacking play against Milan but Liverpool were too strong for us. Unrealistic to expect anything from such a match up.
Even if our coaching staff did want to improve or make changes to our style, it's hard to do it without so many key players.
Dreadful. We are in for a long season. Jose 3rd season melt-down incoming. 
You're right. Implementing drastic changes with the B team is impossible. Implementing drastic changes with Mourinho with the full squad is close to impossible anyway. This is about to be a very long season
Wrong forum, guy. This is The Leading Manchester City Forum.
The memory of people here is extremely short.
We already forgot that Pep preferred to play with one player less on the bench last year when he could have put a youngster, don't we?
Yes, José should be more like Pep, praising them and then no even looking at them during the season. And Klopp has most of his full squad.
By the way, if people focused on the positives and not just one quote, they'd see that he said the same things about the young players as "Pep" did.
I do not agree with his comments, as I think they weren't necessary but I understand them. I understand that the frustration of having almost no one of your starting 11 available. I understand the frustration of seeing your rivals strengthen while you didn't get the players you wanted in this transfer window. They are humans, people, not robots.
This mentality of cherry picking things just because people want to prove their points is ridiculous and unhealthy.
Clyne doesn't actively want to leave, Martial does. He is angry with him and so he should, but he never said that he was angry because he left for his baby birth. the only places where we read that are journos, and again, rumors that were took as truth and used to further shit on him.
All this to say that, I agree that he can be negatives sometimes. But the way people are going about it suggest more than an objective take on the situation.
That makes no sense. The same style of play should be coached throughout the entire squad and down to the youth team. Any backup player should be able to slot in and understand their role and the tactics. The only difference having key players out makes is we have less quality to execute the tactics, but the style should be the same regardless.
Saying that though, we have no style. The first team play like strangers and the backup players play like strangers. So it doesn't really matter
What are these fake tweets?
But this is pretty much the team that we will kick off the season with.
Our style is "no style"
It doesn’t though really, yes better players can improve things but we play the same way whether it’s a full team or not.
There’s no plan in our attack, it’s just kick it forward and hope for the best.
We rely on the fullbacks for width when they can’t cross/overlap.
Our wingers come inside into the box and can’t play 1 touch football, It just doesn’t make sense.
Looks like we're in deep shit.
Amazing people still defending Mourinho, no matter what!

We’ve been having the same issues for the last 5 years - can’t create chances, no meaningful possession, concede chances (usually bailed out by De Gea), slow, boring...list goes on. This match was just another that fits the criteria of everything that has gone wrong since SAF left.
People saying it’s a “meaningless friendly” are completely ignoring the fact that the performance was atrocious (as always) and is a worrying trend in the same direction we’ve been going in for the last half decade. We will be as boring, uninspiring, slow, torpid as ever. As much as I hope we aren’t, there is absolutely no evidence to the contrary.

I've been a Jose apologised but this is absolutely horrendous. His comments about the youngsters are pathetic.
Spoony! This is the real preseason.
And when he does lose, he tries to rationalise it to himself that he didn't really lose.
Meeeeelllllttttdooooowwwwwwnnnnnn.
Can't believe we didn't win 6 nil.

The style of play was awful last season despite him having his players.
This is funny. I remember a while ago Mourinho complained about Smalling and Jones declaring themselves unfit due to injuries and not playing through it. Who did Mourinho have to end up relying on to help him get 2nd place last season? Smalling and Jones. History repeating itself again - the people who try to take care of themselves and not make injuries worse will end up being the ones Mourinho has to rely on because the people who play injured will take themselves out of the running
Considering Mou fielded a team of players which have never played together. They will barely feature on the season coming up.
I don’t know why people are expecting a team of reserves to play fluid and good football.
I am saying that pre season friendlies don’t mean much to get worried about.
Our last 5 seasons? You mean 3 trophies and 4 cup finals? Whilst finishing 2nd last season and the only team above us would have won the league in any season ever that Man United have won the league.
Those are some absolute mental sound bites. The season hasn't even begun yet and he's spewing everywhere.
Have it looked like this only since Mou came? Simple answer is no and the ones left is the board and Woodward who you should put the blame on. To even consider David Moyes when pep was available is like the most stupid thing we could have done... Blame the board and Woodward since it them that run the club..
From what i've seen others say they're fake quotes from Mourinho.
Expect that to be a little better this season as long as the midfielders are Fit.
How can we play the same way when we have Sanchez up top on his own compared to Lukaku?
I'm the last person to defend Jose's style of play. If you're going by what we've seen last season, fair enough. But we can't judge the team based on this preseason. The team will fundamentally change when Pogba, Matic, Lukaku, Rashford and Lingard come back.
I will say it again, I do not care about a pre season friendly or friendlies in general. Of concern though is the continuation of the negative football we play, with little attacking intent. The result is meaningless, but over the summer Liverpool have definitely improved their squad, whilst we have stagnated. People keep saying Liverpool didn't win anything last season & were behind us in the table, but fail to point out they were in the Champions League final as favourites, & failed to win due to goalkeeping howlers, which has now been remedied, whilst we shockingly failed to get past Sevilla in two dreadful displays.
I will evaluate where we are after around the first ten league games, but do not feel optimistic going into this season

No one should really give much of a feck about a pre season result.
All the more hilarious to see Mourinho spit his dummy out and throw everyone but sanchez under the bus. The squad who went on the tour must be loving life under him. Surely the most miserable fecker around.
He gets away with it too for being mourinho. Picture Moyes saying that and how you'd react to that.

Unless he addresses that RW and RB not sure anything will change.
Second time a team I support has played at Michigan stadium and lost!
Saw Wolverine lose to the Spartans last year, the big house is cursed.
