Ya take Antony for instance . No assist or goal in 23 games but look he leaves everything out on the pitch and that’s all that’s needed.

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?

i know. it’s a real drop off from all those trophies and titles we were winning with the likes of greenwood, sancho, rashford stinking up the place with their attitudes.
the ones that have been at the club for the last 5/6 years are the root cause of all the problems. bad apples, causing rot amongst the rest of them. players and managers come in and lift the place for a bit, they’re soon then brought down to level of the cesspit. anyone who’s worked with toxic people know the effect it has on the whole team. doesn’t matter what they’re capable of delivering, they’re a net loss.
Villa, Leverkusen, Dortmund...and so on. Weve had countless players in the last decade that prove talent is worth absolutely nothing if your attitude and work rate isnt enough. Before the travesty of what happened with Greenwood, he had been booted from England set up at 19 and was turning in some seriously patchy form.
His unreal finishing in those 2 goals?
The overrating on season so far is going through the stratosphere
Has he done anything since that goal a few weeks ago? Why is he getting hyped up again?
We need all the money we can get in January so hopefully we can get some sort of fee for him.

100%.
Well said and i couldn't agree more.
As pocco said, it's desperation. But not just for the on the pitch stuff, as we'll see when he is moved on and people will still go on and on about it on here.
Understanding is far more important than the concept of forgiveness will ever be. You are right about the state of the world, seems like there's no end to it all
What's new? Why is this any different to the over/underrating of numerous other players?
I'm surprised to see him performing at this current level as I thought he was done. Too much pressure, so long out the game, etc etc.... but nope.
I wouldn't go as far as surprised, there was always a chance he would still be at a decent enough level if he kept fit and kicking a ball. But still being able to play all those matches, and looking fairly sharp whilst at it, is not to be sniffed at.
He was better than Saka
Tbf he did score two goals in the cup as well. Not the point though. The kid got fantastic finishing skills.
A match they won 12-0 so probably speaks to the quality of the opposition
Well that’s a good point raised, we are under rating our own players in the midst of a bad season and over rating one that hasn’t played PL football in 2 years. Some calling for him to return now, to ride in on his steed and save the season
I find it all a bit silly
Still not the point though.
All there is to say about greenwood is “oh, what could have been….what a pity”.
Best both parties move on. From a footballing POV, I do hope he fulfills his enormous potential someday.

Wasn’t it Fergie who once said you have to beat whatever is in front of you.
Garnacho scored an overhead kick, did feck all for the subsequent games & people are calling him the next coming. No surprise people are excited about the performances of a United loanee.
United fans getting carried away again. It was a great goal but that’s it. Doesn’t guarantee that he’s gonna play for years at this level or disappear like macheda
If he rejoined tomorrow he'd be the most talented player in the squad.
Yawn
Not even close.
Oh it’s more than close. He was better. Will probably be better again.
beautiful assist
Just assisted Mata.
Been pretty poor so far but just produced some magic to assist Mata
He’s definitely improve Getafe form since joining
Different Mata
Oh. Carry on then
Ratcliffe has not got in the door yet.
Ten years of mediocrity to rubbish does not equal an immediate solution. When you are run by parasites it is hardly a surprise people want something better than what we currently have.
Anyway, another assist in a ground where we got slaughtered last season.
Greenwood number would be so much better if Getafe could play the football on the ground and keep the ball for a while. Whole tactics is just to hoof and hit early cross to two forward and pray.
Love Twitter for hyping everything up. Decent pass but hardly mind-blowing.
Uh oh, what will you do? Start writing some utterly scathing comments about him on redcafe?
You’re right. They’re generally a very defensive side that don’t create much. If he ends up somewhere like Barca, sky is the limit.
Inappropriate Behavior
Are you just a thick cnut or have you just forgot what happened to the last guy that brought him back? Ratcliffe hasn't exactly got an army of supporters amongst our fanbase, it would be a terrible move.
Me personally though, I'll cancel my season ticket if he comes back.
That's a pro-Greenwood propagandist account, so everything will be hyped up there.
I'm talking about Greenwood being the quick fix. He was obviously one of our best players and our best young talent in many years. I was a huge fan of him. But I'm not so desperate to overlook everything else in the hope he'll score us a few goals.
I think sometimes people forget Greenwood was still a teenager when he became a regular for our starting team. He was still learning the game - at a first team level - and growing into his body. Once you contextualise that, and how he performed for an incredibly dysfunctional team - as well as the company he’s in in terms of highest scoring teenagers in the prem - I don’t know how anyone can be overly critical of his game then
