Off topic, but I will always laugh at Mark Ogden, the big dunce, Tweeting this quote verbatim and implying he literally meant he would take Mascherano.
I'm not sure. It's possible to win things without a superstar. I do think a media circus surrounding a club can be a bad thing and Mbappe seems to provide that (It may die down once he leaves PSG but it's hard to be sure). If the argument is just football quality you say yes every time but it isn't.Anyone honestly saying no is an absolute plum.
I think the problem is PSG are largely irrelevant except for their big stars. So it's easy to build the circus around Mbappe given he is French. The fact that he rejected the Madrid move is a big red flag for me.I'm not sure. It's possible to win things without a superstar.

Yeah if he'd be a cnut only toward opponent teams. While I'm afraid he'd be also a cnut toward his teammates and manager.He’s a cnut. I’d happily have him at Utd and be our beloved cnut.
I agree on the media circus aspect but you have to weigh up the pros and cons, for example Ronaldo simply wasn’t a good enough player at 36 years old to be worth the hassle he was. Mbappé is worth it at 23 years old, and on the pitch is more of a creator/team player than Ronaldo was.I'm not sure. It's possible to win things without a superstar.

I think we would get over that very quickly if he was delivering insane numbers for us. It's not like he's going around threatening the life of his teammates, just a bit of ego and throwing his weight around.Yeah if he'd be a cnut only toward opponent teams.

Depends on the manager, but generally speaking, I wouldn’t want to treat any player like they’re above the club/manager here at United, no matter their output. One of the things I’ve loved about EtH is that he is in charge and he expects discipline and a certain set standard from everyone. Of course you can slightly indulge a player a little (like SAF did with Ronaldo), but not at the expense of the manager himself (unless the manager is toxic then there might be a debate to be had).I think we would get over that very quickly if he was delivering insane numbers for us.

if he was delivering insane numbers for us, it would give him the latitude to be as much of a cnut as he wants to be. he'd want a say on transfers and team selection for instance, when he should be made to power wash the stands and take out the bins for being a lippy cnut.I think we would get over that very quickly if he was delivering insane numbers for us.

That's a fair point but I think the upside to Mbappe outweighs any of the negatives.I'm not sure. It's possible to win things without a superstar.

The man seemed to want egos out of this team, so this would be no chance anywayIf ETH wants him.
Please tell me the last team to win anything that didn’t have a superstar Besides the Tuchel Chelsea team, pretty much all of them doI'm not sure. It's possible to win things without a superstar.

Flirting.Why does Kylian Mbappe continue to post pictures on his Instagram with the caption obviously mentioning Manchester United?
Bloody hell I knew he had a massive ego but this is beyond embarrassing , nah, don't want this diva anywhere near here.Nah not for me. Imagine he gets paid £800K a week and throws a strop because Bruno passes to Rashford instead of him. This guy wants all the glory for himself, there are players who fit our ethos much more than him.
I’m sceptical too. Huge ego that comes alongside his undoubted talent. Why we are so good at the moment is because we’re, at last, a real team. Someone like that could feck up the chemistry badly. Look at the second coming of Ronnie. Maybe that would not happen, I don’t know, but my point is that it’s not a simple case of turning down the lottery. I believe Erik is acutely aware of these kind of considerations, though.Sceptical
Horrible. If that is actually how he acts, Stay the feck away from this team.Nah not for me. Imagine he gets paid £800K a week and throws a strop because Bruno passes to Rashford instead of him. This guy wants all the glory for himself, there are players who fit our ethos much more than him.
If that's how he behaves because he didn't get a pass then we should stay well clear, I haven't seen enough to form a judgement on him but if SAF had been the manager there he'd have been out of the door so fast all you'd have felt was a whiff of garlicNah not for me. Imagine he gets paid £800K a week and throws a strop because Bruno passes to Rashford instead of him. This guy wants all the glory for himself, there are players who fit our ethos much more than him.
Best part about this goal is that he would have had a back post tap in if he just continued on. If the manager didn't sub him off right after that, then he basically just showed who was really running the team. No place for that attitude in a top level team.Nah not for me.
