This is a shitty post. What he does in his spare time is his business. How can you say he wasn’t committed?

It’s like fans would rather see their players fall out of nightclubs & Hotels than see them rapping & dancing in their own time.

You’ll be very frustrated with Sancho if that’s your feelings about Memphis’ time at United.
What's Sancho done? I didn't know he rapped!

It seems like a pretty basic goal, not sure what the hype's about. He'll do alright, I don't think he'll get anywhere close to matching Suarez for example.

That was definitely not a basic goal, come on.

Matching Suarez? Probably the best striker of the past 15 years, is that a stick to beat him with?

Still better than all our strikers going into the upcoming season. Greenwood may reach Memphis's level one day but it's certainly not the case now. Rashford can't play as a striker, and Cavani in his ancient, dusty version is good for a few big games if we're lucky. The CF position has been grim for us since Zlatan was here.
This post is pure comedy :lol: :lol:

Hes “cocky” & flashy, while also being black. Same reason Pogba is despised. It’s a touchy subject but it definitely exists.
People are just salty he was shit for us and don't want to see him do well elsewhere. It would make 'em feel like they lost out on a good player. Wellbeck and Lukaku are viewed similarly. It's childish.

Pogba is disliked because people are salty he walked for free, was bought back for an enormous fee and isn't living up to that fee while his agent badmouths the club.

Plenty of white players are disliked by some too for a variety of reasons (Jones, Di Maria, etc)

Unless you're directly responding to a poster that used a bunch of tropes, maybe consider other people hold different opinions than you?

The guy scored 2 goals in 29 games for us and u think his skin colour is why he's disliked? Really?

If the preseason is anything to go by, he might do quite well. Another goal for him.

Good player. Joined us at a time where it was almost impossible for anyone to shine. Would fit well in our current set up.

He's a quality player now, but he was rubbish at United honestly.
He grew as a player at Lyon and it may have been a better move for him before joining United. Fortunately he moved away quickly enough.

Still remember the banker he scored for us in a champions league qualifier, can't remember the team but he ended his marker before scoring.
Talented player but too slow over the first five yards. EPL defenders found it easy marking him.

Barcelona’s master plan all along was to have depay replace Messi. They realized they couldn’t go spending at Harrods anymore so they went to poundland instead.

I reckon he’ll score a lot of goals there - La Liga is really weak right now outside the few clubs that are well funded. Would be funny if he put up Messi numbers next season.

But he's right: Rashford-Depay-Sancho would be an improvement over Cavani-Greenwood.
Only on the caf would Cavani-Greenwood be rated higher than Rashford - Depay - Sancho, I can really promise you that. Dont take it personal.

Messi scored 30, and Benzema/Moreno scored 23 others scored less. Are you insinuating it is easy to score a lot of goals in La Liga and if so, why?

They also said Serie A is easy too. Every league is farmer's league except EPL according to them.

This isn't the Serie A of the past just look at how crazy the goalscoring has been in the past few seasons.

Overall standard of the league seems lower last few years - exacerbated by covid no doubt - but money is everything long term and some of the lower places LL teams operate on comparative peanuts. Appreciate Barca are also not where they were but I feel they’ve actually got an awesome young team coming through and Depay will get a lot of chances.
