The Manchester United Thread

I won’t lie mate. Even though it was done a few weeks back, I was still gutted with Sancho being ‘officially’ announced the other day. Regardless of anything, he's still one of the best young attacking talents in Europe.

But this completely balances that disappointment out. If anyone can stunt that young mans career and completely waste a few years of it its that divvy.

Issa shame. With decent coaching, we have a potential Balon d'or winner in the next few years on our hands

Loftus Road remains my favourite London ground. Proper football stadium that.

Absolutely no danger of it happening any time soon, but it’d be boss to have QPR back in the PL at the expense of another long, Southern trip.
 
1-1 after 7 mins lol. Lingard with a great goal after 3 mins. But then shocking defending by Mengi to give them the equaliser after 7
 
Matic and Periera been awful well more so Periera. And Williams showing he’s not a RB and a way better LB. Also that half pushed home how much we need Trippier!
 
I mean ToD, most of them are kids playing against veterans. Also most of those players will never be good enough for Premier League. This is a good game for these United players, big lesson learned about composure. You can't simply dart up and down the pitch without thinking.

Also Mengi making QPR players look like Brazil in 1970.

Don’t take anything from friendlies anyway mate. Just some things are glaringly obvious. I’m happy we lost normally we win them all then start of wank 😂
 
It makes sense to make sure the manager overseeing the transition to not be going into his last year with the confusion of an extension hanging over him. However, the lowering of expectations by Ole has resulted in fans being okay with this and shouting its okay we making progress. Doesn't matter united are so rich they can afford to get even this wrong.

As has been mentioned umpteen times, it's SO like L'pool through the '90's, on and off the pitch, it's uncanny.

And oh how they (rightfully) laughed at us for it. funny how things come full circle.

This. Some fans were trying to justify his loss to Villareal with "oh, he didn't have options on the bench". The amount of mediocrity being masked as "progress" is just hilarious to watch.

Also, I'm not so sure if him being in his last year would create uncertainties because
1. There are no big clubs that's knocking on his doorstep
2. He loves united and would probably be able to wait out an offer.

Ideally, I would've stalled any new contract talks until let's say, midway through the next season.

There's every chance we could be battling for top 4 midway through the season and If that's the case, he's failed and we need to move on.

Its maddening the excuses being made for him. I keep reading online saying oh Klopp didn't get fired when Liverpool were winning nothing. The two aint even comparable. One is the richest club in the world and the other has a track record of building clubs up from the ground up. Man utd can afford to get it wrong. Imagine spending 80mill on a CB and being like we need someone to partner him and cover his weaknesses. You think Liverpool can afford to write that **** off lol. Chelsea binned Lamps off and instantly won the CL. Theres levels to this transition bs that people keep throwing around and shouting its progress. The next manager after Ole is probably licking his lips ronaldinho meme style at the squad he will be handed at the very least.

Liverpool is stil buying centrebacks, right? Yeah, Klopp built Liverpool from ground up, he has spent 500.000.000 on players ih how many years? 6? Thats almost 100m per season.

With United there's been 3 managers who were all different in their approach and needed different players for their tactic to work. Wan Bissaka and Maguire weren't Oles signings. There were scouted under Mourinho and were close to signing but for board to sanction due to Mou having a meltdown.

Will Ole manage to step up remains uncertain, but first time in long time United have a vision moving forward. If Ole cant do it, its essential to find a manager in similar mould but better.

Jose was never in for AWB. Also, Maguire IS an OGS signing through and through. Jose had him on his transfer list but he wasn't even first choice. He preferred Boateng and Dier ahead of him
