The Manchester United Thread

Yeah, any blame he gets today is only a by-product of his own superpowers earlier. We were utter shambles defensively earlier too, he just was a superman and kept everything out, practically everything. I mean, remember the Arsenal match? That should have had a worse scoreline than today.

I remember that whole season (I take it the 2nd season under mou). We only conceded 26 goals but our xG against for that season was 50.

Only Fergie can win the league with the squad he had but I do agree that the issue began with his approach to team building in his final years. He often just added stop gap solutions to paper over lingering issues (i.e. recalling Scholes from retirement rather than buying a long term replacement or giving Pogba a genuine chance, signing 29 year old van persie, not properly replacing Rio/Vidic).

To be fair to him, he had plans to get in Strootman/Thiago to recreate Keane/Scholes and Lewandowski for Rooney, something which would have solved most of those issues. And those deals were almost done too, but then of course, Moyes came in and wham. Gone with the wind.

I haven't said the DDG played poorly (any keeper would have had problems with keeping the score down) but at the same time you have to consider that in each of the 3 games played so far he has failed to keep a clean sheet even against weaker opponents. He's not exactly helping his own cause is he.

Henderson has played against a struggling championship side and a heavily rotated brighton side lol.
 
I'd get rid of Pogba and DDG in the long-term they aren't worth keeping around, but we're giving them long-term contracts for sure. Well DDG has one but Pogba they will give him a bumper contract to 'preserve his value'. I hate what this club has become, if Fergie was here no player would last a day if they didn't meet his demands.

I defended Pogba as I believe he is world-class (on his day), but we just don't see it here anywhere near enough, no fight for the shirt either. It's a team game at the end of the day.
 
Alex Telles is now arriving in Manchester to sign his contract as new #MUFC player. Deal to be announced tomorrow. Contract until June 2025. Here-we-go confirmed. €15m

With Dalot having left already, we shouldn't be loaning out Williams. We only have AwB at RB, and Fosu-Mensah is not a good enough option.

Think that’s why Laird has been promoted to the first team full time. I wouldn’t though either tbh unless he’s guaranteed to play every game.
