The Manchester United Thread

Strangest 3-0 win we’ve had since the United-Liverpool game back in 2015. We won 3-0 but it could’ve easily finished 6-3 to Liverpool on a different day but we had Sterling to thank for botching 3 1v1s…even if it was against a peak DDG.

That said, everything just went right for us today.

Aye, I was dead wrong. It didn’t exactly follow the usual script but I’m thrilled regardless

TA

Should add to the mutual happiness, very solid, very good full debut from the kid.

Onana.


Joint most cleansheets in the league.
Second best save percentage behind only Allison.
Second most saves made behind only Foderingham of Sheffield United.
Joined 2nd for PSxG stat (level with Allison, behind Kaminski from Luton).

And what a debut from Mainoo

Still a bit unconvincing with how he parried his saves back into danger (this was an underrated part of DDG’s game so maybe we’ve just been spoiled) but he’s improved since that penalty save.

 

[Anthony]

Did I read it correctly that Anthony Elanga has outscored Manchester United's entire frontline so far this season?

Prior to yesterday’s game, yes

Jean-Claude Blanc will be Manchester United’s new CEO! #MUFC [@David_Ornstein]

Onana's been good in last few games. Issue is, he really shouldn't be tested as often.

Lets hope Jean-Claude Van Damme can kick some senses back into United.

Hojlund and Antony back in training this morning. Hopefully both can be in the squad for tomorrow night. Huge match!

He’s been solid since that penalty save against Copahagen. Even read some stat that he’s saved the most shot in the PL which is a good and bad thing. He can stop shots but then again, why is he stopping so many shots?

Was thinking the same.
I would bet if United fix midfield, everything would look better.

Been told that Manchester Utd U17s beat Blackburn U17s 5-2 tonight.

4 for Gabriele Biancheri new signing Douka Nkoto with the other goal.

Well Onana well and truly fecked is over there

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

I don't know what's the madder goalkeeping situation .....

That anyone ever thought Onana was ever the answer to anything?

Or that De Gea is still without a club? Which continues to blow my mind as Utd are among a host of clubs that could have done with him this season.

My praise for Onana jinxed this. I usually never like to pin a bad result on one player but Onana drew this game on his own. Concedes the same type of freekick twice and then conceded a fairly easy save near post (after Mainoo did some good work in narrowing the shooting angle)

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

Just watched the replay of the match. Oh man Onana them 2 howlers the third wasn’t an easy save by any means! Despite the dissapointing draw there were some positives. But one thing that absolutely stood out. Is that trio of MagLove and McTominey

Gala were basically playing a 4-6 formation forcing MagaLove to hoof it 90% of the time any decent CB on the ball could of easily played around not even a good press and set us on our way in the acres of free space. But they defo wasn’t helped by the CM ghost Mctominey. Once again fewest touches and fewest passes for Utd. And again despite the room in CM was always seeming to be stood unable to receive the ball from the CBs.

Till the spine is sorted we are going to be an inconsistent team unable to control or dominate games consistently. Man it’s good to have Shaw back makes a huge difference and AWB who did a great job on Zaha. Both defo started to struggle fitness wise.

As did Hojlund who once again showed good energy in the press and nice hold up work. Gala defo found it easier once Half arsed Martial came on. Antony had a really good game and finally showed that he can easily beat men and linked up great with AWB.

Big question mark for me in the attack now is what happens with Rashford. You can’t leave out Garnacho on the left atm. And imo Antony and Pellistri have shown more of late to warrant starting on the right. Especially as Rashford isn’t a goal threat from that side.

Yep, lets talk thrash to Onana, maybe he stops making mistakes then.

9 wins from 9 in the league, the U18s are flying. 2-0 win at Wolves

Shaw at CB is good and Mainoo in CM. But Rashford and McTominey and Martial
