The Manchester United Thread

I was pointing out the articles weren't directed at the U21s, but the results of the U18s. I know the excuses. Save em. The CURRENT squad got panned, better? Nowt wrong with the Academy, the overhaul is needed but not as overkill as the press/hacks made it out to be.

Calls up and movement of players is the same as every club in the league, everyone knows results outside the first team don't count for anything.

No. It was started with U14 or U15 games.

Arsenal U18 finished in the bottom 2 last season and in bottom 3 season before that and their U13 or U14 lost 13-0 this season. Did you see the press coverage? No. Like I said, most of the stories reported by Journalists don't have a clue on what is going on.

Aren't Southampton hailed in the country for their impressive academy? Well they are second bottom and did worse than United. They were in bottom 3 last season. Did you read anything about their academy?

Can't help if you don't see the pattern. U18 results won't be consistent because of so much movement, if anyone use the story to prove the academy is falling then they are idiots and haven't got a clue. Simple as that.

Important reason of having academy is to save cost and produce players for first team. ManUtd academy is doing superbly on that front. If anything other academies have to catch up with ManUtd. It's all well and good to win cups at under age level but counts for nothing if they can't promote anyone to the first team.

FFS you should start your own blog if you don't want someone else to correct or elaborate on what you said.

There is nothing wrong in proving more information.

On the all important game, not sure we are good enough to capitalize on others mistakes. City and Arsenal gave plenty of chances but we have faltered everytime.

We have struggled against Palace last season too at home, Mata came up with beauty to win 3 points. Think it will be same again but without scoring.

Going for 0-0.

Nah, you'll smash Palace. You're movement in Martial and Rash is too good.

Not sure when was the last time we smashed some decent team. We have struggled against Palace in most games and I don't see this game as any different.

They sit deep and load the box, play on the counter with pace. Works against ManUtd easily.

Yeah we thought that, and we were gash.
 
Yep we will defo struggle tonight no matter how many palace will rest for the big game at the weekend. They will sit deep we will play crab style slow football. Have a magic piece of play by Martial or Rashford and maybe sneak a boring snooze fest 1-0. Or draw.
 
Man Utd have completed the signing of Ireland u16 international. He is only 15 and has played for the u17s already and is currently the u16 captain. Can play RW RB CB and is extremely quick. Sorry his name is Lee O, Connor :)

Its a joke. Ok we all know we could do with another winger and maybe a top STR but there is more than enough quality and creativity in this team to be doing better than where we arr

I know right, seems like LVG uses all the excuses in the book to avoid his own shortcomings.

Tbf he did say if we had a "fast and creative" player. Mata is creative but he ain't fast.
