Who will be this seasons scapegoat?

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

2018/19: Young/Alexis
2019/20: Lingard
2020/21: Martial
2021/22: Rashford/Maguire
2022/23: Ronaldo/De Gea

Who's going to be the fault of all of our problems this season?

 

[top1whoisman]

Mount.

 

[Kaos]

Sancho

 

[T00lsh3d]

Hojlund

 

[NLunited]

Sancho or Antony.

 

[Carlsen19]

Casemiro.

 

[IHateTheEightyEights]

I hate the way people so regularly misuse this word.

No single player has been blamed for any of our seasons. Its just something fans like to cry about.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Antony

 

[Red Royal]

Kane

 

[Lemoor]

Surely Rashford after getting a new contract.

 

[Vidyoyo]

I can see it being Bruno with him being made captain. People complain enough already about the guy.

New signings are untouchable for the first 6 months.

 

[Borys]

It will be very interesting to see if De Gea really had such a negative impact on the team tbh.

 

[JediSith]

Media/Pundits Fernandes leadership qualities will be under scrutiny especially if Maguire is still there.

They’ll go in hard on Onana if he makes any early mistakes but will end up like Martinez last year.

Rashford could probably be a scapegoat if he doesn’t match last seasons tally or has a drought. New contract, scored a lot of goals last year so that’s to be expected.

From the fans Antony. I think his first season was decent and he improved a lot near the end. But if he doesn’t add more goals : assists I think a lot of fans won’t appreciate what he brings.

 

[KirkDuyt]

Would be such a shame if it's Antony

 

[Von Mistelroum]

It'll almost certainly be Onana. He's a danger 'keeper and will have a few howlers at least. People won't like that and the press will be all over him too.

 

[horsechoker]

Martial
Bruno
Mount
Onana
Rashford
Antony

 

[Laurencio]

Højlund if he comes here, unfortunately.

 

[Oranges038]

Glazer's for not selling.

 

[Galactic]

I love this thread. Manchester United in a nutshell.

We won’t win the league with Bruno.

 

[Red_Aaron]

Sancho is hot favourite as the knives are already out for him

Onana will almost certainly throw 1 or 2 in but I expect us to be so much better playing out that he gets away with it

 

[ashneel]

Onana

 

[SER19]

Ten Hag

 

[Skills]

ETH signings will still be in the manager shits gold phase.

I'm going to say Dalot/AWB . Maybe Varane (the 5x CL winner + WC winner) won't be ball playing enough for Manchester United's charge for top 4.

 

[Shakesy]

@MyOnlySolskjaer

 

[RedRonaldo]

Onana
Mount

 

[Nickosaur]

No one as the team goes unbeaten and wins the quaddy.

 

[shabadu84]

It will be very interesting to see if De Gea really had such a negative impact on the team tbh.

It's hard to blame him but directly but there's a lot of matches where we were winning but couldn't exert control to see out matches. The opposition would press us a bit and we'd fall apart while hoofing the ball and giving up possession. If that changes, we have to defend fewer chances and drop fewer silly points. A title challenge becomes a real possibility.

Rashford will be this year's scapegoat, he has a long line of people rooting for him to fail

 

[Resonance]

Onana after getting robbed in the box by the opposition striker for the 6th time!

 

[MetoTTT]

Sancho/Antony

 

[Jeppers7]

Other than Ronaldo and Maguire I don’t remember the others in the OP being blamed for everything.

I think ETH is doing a great job of turning the squad around. If we could get a replacement for Martial and offload Maguire I think most will be happy and players will then, rightfully, only be questioned on individual performances.

 

[JinnerJamie]

Rashford because of his contract

 

[KGBhoy]

Onana

 

[Reddy09]

Sancho/Antony

 

[The_Order]

Antony.


Thanks to the price tag.

 

[Red Comet]

Onana after he lets in a couple of soft goals that even De Gea would be expected to save.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Mount for not getting enough g/a from playing too deep

 

[Santoryo]

Sancho and Antony seem like the obvious candidates going by what's already being said about them in pre season.

 

[bosnian_red]

• Antony
• Sancho
• Wan Bissaka/Dalot

Basically the right flank... I don't mind any of them, but I'm not convinced on the balance of it being a high enough level or dynamic enough, compared to the rest of the team. CF I think we all know is shit right now and Hojlund would be a project so I don't think we'll scapegoat him. Have a lot of faith in Onana, the left flank, the defensive core, and I don't think there will be a reason to scape goat Bruno or Mount. It'll be the right side which on balance doesn't provide enough and where we think we can improve.

 

[Andy_Cole]

Usually a player who is constantly played regardless of performance.

I think Mount.

 

[Ceteris]

The manager, second season syndrome

He wasn' that good, they said it
wasted millions buying his former players from Ajax
