The Manchester United Thread

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.

It's the hope that kills. Against West Ham away? We have no chance with the way we are playing.

Yeah, I have a pretty bad feeling about that one too, but as this season we're so hot and cold (can we say it like this?), we could even win the FA Cup...so LVG stays. :D:D:D
 
Another thing is as the 3 goals just blitz past de gea in matter on minutes, lvg just sat down there to take notes. I saw that yesterday and I was "**** you and your notepad"

When you concede 2 quick goals, you get up and encourage the team...or rather stand up and do something cos it's a time to panic when something that unusual happens.

SSN tweeting/reporting on there mobile news app that Ibra will join if LVG is not here next season. Would not be surprised if Mou has already spoke to him. Would go with the news that Mou has already being scouting/ talking to Ed about transfers for next season. Read yesterday that he has given the green light for Renato Sanches also.

I don't really want Ibra though...

Great player, but he's probably going to cost way more than a 34 year old deserves, and might not even perform well in the premier league.

Should really be trying to test Juventus's resolve and try get Dybala

Tbh you could say that about any potential signing. At least Ibra has proven wherever he has been he's scores goals. There no way we are getting Dybala from Juve especially with Morata leaving and he has said he loves the club and Italy. Great player though! Can maybe see him moving in a few years. Don't really see a down side to Ibra tbh. Yes he would want big wages but on a free and with his record, ability and attitude/ ora he could do wonders for us for a few seasons under Mou. Could you imagine

Ibra
Martial-Roo-Griezmann as a front for next season. If Rooney stays which I think he will.
