We're starting to see the basis of a proper squad

Constantly at the STD clinic.
The worst part is Ole is impacting our future as well. This is a terrible environment for the likes of Greenwood and Gomes to come through.

I feel for Greenwood the most. Poor kid has no chance to play his game and just gets thrown on the last 10 mins in a losing situation.

The start of a basis for a proper squad is there now, we do know it but we're not seeing it. Makes it hard to believe we're progressing too because our squad is largely very shitty overall.

Would disagree and think we have gone backwards.

Still think if Woodward had some footballing sense knocking around in his mind he would have realized it was a no brainer to bring conte in last December instead of solskjear and with the players we had available during that time to fit into how conte sets his teams up we would have had a lot of potential.
Eerrmm, that guy who paid 74m?
People are still rating Martial like he is world class or something.

Wouldn't mind seeing the back of him to be honest. He is not a Manchester United player and never will be. I will go down through our first team squad.

GK- De Gea (Keep)
Wan-Bissaka (Good defender but no where near good enough going forward, Jury still out)
CB Lindelof - (Not good enough, terrible in the air).
CB Maguire (Leicester have conceded the least goals out of any other premier league team without him, Jury still out)
LB - Shaw/Young (Two headless chickens, useless).
CM - McTominay (Not good enough, way too slow and his positioning is awful).
CM - Pogba (Keep, but don't blame him for wanting to leave with the crap around him).
CM - Fred/Pereria (Chronic useless)
AML - Rashford - (Still young but getting useless service with the crap around him, shouldn't be reliant on a young lad).
CF - Martial - Get rid, too inconsistent not a Manchester United standard player).
AMR - James, Should be no-where near the first time at present, squad player).

So out of the current starting 11 I would only keep De Gea, Pogba. Jury still out on Maguire and Wan Bisaaka.

The absolute state the club is in is shocking. A few signings are not going to get them into top four, need nearly a whole team.
Have you ever thought about changing allegiance? There are fourms for a team you could like...
