The Manchester United Thread

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

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.
 
Can't believe how our defence fell to **** when TFM went off. Tbh I know they are pros n all that, but the older players really looked like they can't be arsed anymore. And there is no chance we are getting too 4 or LVG staying next season!!

That's another silver lining
 
According to Sky we are also going to have a formal disciplinary hearing for being late to the game. lol

“He and his assistant would shout at players like we were kids, like 18-year-olds,” he told the Sunday Times.

“And I would think, ‘This is not the way to treat us because I am professional. I am training every day, and I am doing nothing wrong.

“It’s difficult to play football when somebody is saying ‘Come on! You must pass the ball like this, blah, blah, blah.’ It’s crazy, because football is instinct and decision. It’s what you see.”

Answers why our game looks so rigid and players aren't playing at their best. Our whole game is forced move instead of giving players freedom to express themselves.

On the other hand, RVP said many times how Fergie gave them freedom to express themselves.
 
Since season is done, would love to see Fosu Mensah in the midfield. He should play either as CB or midfielder. He is a beast physically and would add lot in the middle rather than as fullback.

Also one player is forgotten in middle of all this, Tuanzebe. Injured at the wrong time otherwise he would have played for the first team. He was the captain IIRC for youth sides and without a doubt our best CB at youth level.

So plenty of talent in the ranks.

Media loves to sensationalize everything and they did it by using U13 results which no one in their right mind would use. This week our U18s won 7-1 against Newcastle and like I said before, most of our U18 best players are either in first team squad or playing for U21s.
 
How embarrassing is it that we've scored just 39 goals in 32 games. Absolutely embarrassing.

Bournemouth have scored more goals than us and their main striker is out with ACL injury. That itself says how embarrassing it is.
 
The most embarrassing thing about this season is that we've allowed a manager to not only knock us out of CL at group stages but also the Europa League. No top club would of accepted this and that's my complaint with this board with Woodward on who makes the key decisions, have some ****** spine to act up the way you talk and sack a manager when his time has come. This is the second time they've cost us a whole season by not acting with Moyes and LVG.

LvG should of been gone by at Christmas/January time and everyone knew it apart from them it seems.

It was never a habit at United to change managers as frequently as one (don't wanna name a team, but like Madrid) change underwear and even tho I totally agree with you on the sentence I've quoted, don't forget that without their patiency the Fergie era could have never happened.

He must go now as there is no excuse to keep him.

1. We have a more than adequate replacement in Mourinho (I hope)
2. In terms of quality, a **** season was followed by an even shittier

And finally, the third one, his tactical decisions. I know many of you've reflected on this one but holy ****, I would never dare to make those even in FM. When I saw wasting Mata on the right side, chasing the Kevin Hart look-alike Rose from box-to-box, I thought I've seen everything from his repertoire. But no...he brought on Young as a CF.

Hope we can recover from this mental **** soon and beat West Ham on Wednesday.

First part is wrong. Many big clubs have allowed manager when they exited group stage and later eliminated in Europa. Klopp at Dortmund was eliminated in Group stages of Europa and in the next season they finished last in their CL group.
Liverpool with Rafael Benitez in 2009-10
ManUtd with Fergie in 2011-12
ManCity with Mancini in 2011-12
ManCity with Mancini in 2012-12. Finished 4th in group stage.
Juventus with Conte in 2013-14
Barca in 2000-01 season

Not sacking Van Gaal is something beyond joke now. 39 ******* goals in 32 games. Mahrez alone has nearly as many.
