I have no sympathy for him. He started pre-season by saying everything is fecked. That he has no players to choose from. The club won't let him sign 30 year old center backs for 80 million etc etc...At the time he had EIGHT center backs to choose from
Bailly, Lindelof, Rojo, Blind, Smalling, Jones, Fosu-Mensah and Tuanzebe. (Blind went back to Ajax and has been one of their stand out players. Scored a hat-trick for them on Sunday)
He has sulked the entire season, even played McTominay and Herrera in central defense when Bailly was fit. We lost those games.
We set up against teams like West Ham, Brighton, Huddersfield like we are playing Real Madrid. With 3 defensive holding midfielders. Not only did we struggle to create chances, we couldn't get out of our own half!
He made Ashley Young CAPTAIN. A failed winger, converted to left back. He was shit there, so when Shaw got back into the team and showed us what a left back should do, he moved Young to right back, and he was equally shit there as well. Hoofing in crosses that never reached anyone. Consistently terrible, and still captain for every big game. We played a 19 year old in the same position against Fulham. He ran with the ball, beat the last man and crossed the ball to a United player. We won 4-1.
Matic and Lukaku have been fecked since the world cup. Literally losing the ball every touch, and not being able to run for more than 20 mins. It took him 15 games to even acknowledge this. They are both back in the starting 11, still fecked.
How long did it take him to start playing Martial and Rashford? He has messed them about for 2 years. When they get a run of games together you can see the link up play starting to improve, then the next game he drops one of them.
Alexis Sanchez. We didn't need to sign him, as the left hand side was fairly heavily manned already, but he was Arsenal's best player for 3 seasons. He even scored 8 goals for them in the same season we signed him. Where is he? He's not even in the squad? He's on 300k per week and nobody has seen him? Lukaku is on his knees, and Alexis is sat at home! Hamstring injury, my foot!
Then there's Pogba. He goes off to play for France every now and then. Puts in a 9 out of 10 performance. Gets all the plaudits. Comes back to United and is total dogshit. Completely out of sync with the rest of the team, he lays off passes to people who aren't there and the ball is intercepted and suddenly we are on the backfoot. Looks up with the ball in midfield and see's no runners, so just passes sideways to Ashley Young for another hoof to nobody. Lost his place to Fellaini. feckin hell.
Yeah, time to go Mo. You've stunk this place out enough.
