The Manchester United Thread

Literally none of our senior players have done anything whatsoever this season aside from DDG and Smalling. Our only decent performers are those who are under the age of 23. Shocking really. Rooney (mostly), Carrick, Mata have been poor, and the rest have just been invisible, Rojo, Darmian, Young, Fellaini etc just invisible and have contributed more frustration that good to our season. LVG needs to go and replaced by Mou or Pot.

Don't you dare say a bad thing about Mata he has been absolutely brilliant today being invisible!
 
So the game was boring and I went ot make some food for about 10 minutes...

Yup. As big a clown as your current manager is, a LOT of Utd players need to take a long hard look at themselves this year.

Totally unacceptable.
 
Brilliant tactics from VG once again. Mata on the left because he's faster than Rose and he's great defender, Lingard in the middle due to his great ball control and passing abilities. He's also great in tight spaces!

Then, the masterstroke! Young as a striker! Brilliant! How could SAF not seen it? He wasted Young on the left. He has everything striker needs. Great body strength, ability to hold up the ball and win some aerial duels, as well as bringing others into play with his passing.

I'd replace LVG with Fred The Red given the opportunity.
 
Picked a very good game to miss out. Scoreline isn't even surprising.

Tofu comes off, Defence falls apart.

WTF. How can a 18 year old have such an impact in defence that when he comes off, two players just fail to defend well?

Switched over half time for around 10 minutes from our game and he made two fantastic blocks in that time. One bailing out the LB.

But yeah, not a good sign when everything collapses when an inexperienced kid goes off.

Fosu made 3 goal stopping challenges in the first half so i think his impact is huge
 
Why did he not learn by now that starting Carrick and Schneiderlin together never works? Just decision after decision you can justifiably have serious questions over.

5 points effectively with goal difference behind City with 5 games left to secure CL football.

Doable but unlikely, LVG as good as gone without CL, I hope that is a certainty.

On the brighter side only 5 more league games with Van Gaal in charge.
 
Thing is though, if we do get into the top 4 and get CL next year, the board will have a party and have their excuse to keep LVG but if we don't get into it then no CL next year again but LVG may get sacked. Hard place to be in as a fan. My own opinion is to
not get in so he gets sacked. But I know that is wrong and I hate admitting it but I don't want to see another game with him as manager, never mind another season. I hate him more than Moyes and if this was Moyes he would have been sacked by now.

On another note we have to remember that both Mourinho will be with a club after summer and Pot will most likely have signed the new contract Levy has reportedly offered him so then we will have few options to go to leaving us in a shocking situation considering Pep and Conte will have been in their new jobs for a year. Best to get someone in now out of those two to give us the big advantage for clubs with new managers as Mourinho and Pot have both managed in the PL
 
39 goals in 32 games. Laughable stat and somehow he is still in charge.

Dont want to get my hopes up. Im very much sure he will see out the season. Hopefully we will be atleast in Europa league places.

He's goner either way. 4th place was objective last season. This ones is get the UCL and improve. He failed to improve, and he will probably fail to get that 4th. Give him that last 5 games, shake hands, and get a new man. Someone who gets tactics right from time to time.
 
Wait, there's actually a real chance of you keeping him? Seriously? I thought he was being allowed to see out the season for the sake of his dignity/because Jose wants to come into a fresh start, but you genuinely might stick with him?

After the **** season we have had, people are scared of anything. There isn't a hope Van Gaal will be ManUtd manager next season unless he has some compromising pics of woody.

Actually the only way he would be sacked is if we fail to make top 4...
 
Every cloud silver lining all that, at least our youngsters got chance and showed they are capable of handling the pressure.

There are few who should be part of first team squad next season and clear some deadwood.
