The Manchester United Thread

My desperation wants Jose Mourinho as manager as I'd know he would be an improvement on the current mess.

But for the long-term he's not the right man, for the style of football United want he's not the right man. The only thing he is the right man for is some short-term success but not necessarily leaving the club in a better position than when it started.

I'm not sure who the right man for United is, at this stage of time and considering everything there isn't one, Mourinho is worth going for. But I really think it will be the biggest job of his career, given his situation and ours.
 
There's no such thing as the right man. Even pep has his flaws. United should worry less about whether Jose is long or short term, and worry more about planning behind. If you think he's short term, then hire a dof to be the long term stability. That's what the vast majority of clubs do in Europe

Not according to the United fans who were there at the game on the United We Stand podcast and Andy Mitten. They reckon it was one of the worst reactions in decades.

But anyway whether they were saying the abuse 'jokingly' or not the fact is that the when the away fans start to turn, you know it's a dire situation, we have one of the best away supporting fans.

Plus after that last performance they really did deserve any abuse they got from the fans.

BT Sport covered the game. We have all the footage from it, my mates were working on it. They didn't directly abuse the players at any point. Getting frustrated, which can happen at any game, doesn't count as abusing the players
 
Romero/Varela Smalling Blind B-Jackson/Herrera Scheiderlin/ Lingard Mata Memphis/ Martial

Stronger team than last game with Borthwick Jackson and Varela in the lineup. If we don't win this we're truly beyond hope.
 
After that last game how the flip does Pereira not get a chance over Mata? I swear Mata gets a free ride like Rooney it seems. That tackle attempt from Mata for their second goal in the last game was pathetic.

Because replacing everyone that has a bad game would lead us to using u15 players. You act like Mata isn't one of our best players.

Wow, finished 2nd in La Liga with Madrid and won prestigous super cup.
*golf clap*
 
Why is Blind still taking corners? It's been 3 months since he put a good ball in.
 
Well what a waste of time this game is, admittedly we are winning but I wanted to see us actually tested.

This Shrewsbury side has literally defended deep, put no pressure on our players until half way inside their half with a 5 at the back formation, just dire from them.

I said the last time, meaning before this game, as I posted it before.

The answer to my question would of been politely, you couldn't remember the last time Mata had assisted or scored a goal because it had been absolutely ages, literally over 15 games.

And it still took a lucky deflection and a pen for you to score.

Embarrassing.
 
Hope it stays 2 nil, backed the draw on the handicap Man U -2. How has the game been, dire or has it been good? Drinking wine and watching X Files with the mrs so no footie for me :(
 
It's a weird one. They are apparently offside for that, but if they just moved up, still obscuring the view but in line with the last defender, it wouldn't offside? That doesn't make any sense.

Not anything exciting but not really dire. Man Utd controlling the game but having hard to breaking down Shrewsbury defence in the final third.
