The Manchester United Thread

Should of picked Mata and Greenwood from the start. James and Lingard simply are no good about these low block teams.

It's December and this lot still haven't learnt how to play defensive teams, it doesn't take much to realise they are playing directly into the opponents hands by with the counter attack formation. Too many of the squad are living under the impression that just because they are playing for United the poorer teams are going to just roll over and let them win. It just seems like for every positive step forward they are taking 2 steps back every 3-4 weeks. Yes it is a young side and you can expect inconsistent performances but that excuse is starting to wear thin.

The sooner Ole realises that the likes of Mata, Greenwood and now Pogba need to start these games the better the results will be since they have been on we could be level. Nothing against James he’s good in certain situations and been a good signing. Lingard just needs to go sort his head out.
 
***** result and ***** performance till Pogba,Mata,Greenwood came on. Ole has got to take the blame for the selection. But ultimately 2 bits of absolute stupidity has cost us
 
Can't defend him anymore. We've not moved forward in a year. Wait for him to say fine margins again coz it was a De Gea **** up and a penalty. Same **** every week. Spurs will win today. Win today and against Everton and we are 4th but its always 2 steps back. There are 19 other teams in the division and about 13/14 of them will get a result off us every day of the week because we can't play against that setup.

Makes it even worse when the likes of Ancelotti has just gone to Everton ffs.
 
At the moment, we're a sh!te version of 2017 Liverpool. Issues vs. low blocks (albeit more than they ever had) & terrifying vs. bigger sides. I do think it's a long-term project and he needs time to prove it, but I also wouldn't be against getting in Poch, who I've wanted for around 3-4 years now.
 
Can we also take a moment to appreciate what it feels like for a midfielder to find attackers? Still beyond baffled how some of you thought we're a better team without Pogba lol
 
Oh, as soon as Pogba came on, we actually started to create a lot of openings. OGS should've made the sub at the start of the 2nd half rather than waiting for so long.


All and all, mistakes plus profiligacy cost us the match.

My thoughts exactly. These results aren’t even a surprise anymore. Doesn’t make them right or me happy to except them. But we need to see where we go from here in regards to his team selection now everyone is fit and the players he brings in to turn these performances around against these teams.

.@mcgrathmike's transfer notebook: Manchester United close in on Birmingham teen.

Birmingham midfielder Jude Bellingham is Manchester United’s next teenage target after pushing forward with a deal for Erling Haaland.

Haaland is wanted by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in a high-profile move but Bellingham has also been followed closely by United this season, with assistant manager Mike Phelan watching him against West Brom last weekend.

I wouldn't be surprised if he got misquoted to be honest I can't remember where I saw it. Hopefully they can get at least two signings of another striker and a creative midfielder those are the two real areas needing improvement the midfielder is most important as without Pogba there has been no real creativity. You can forgive defensive mistakes if there are goals going in but no goals/chances makes the mistakes look even worse.

Hopeful of January signing?
Yeah, as a manager you always hope that you can do something but then again it’s not something that’s nailed on. But we are looking at some targets.

It has to be the right player. Right age, gonna fit into this squad and for the right value. We’re always looking and the transfer window is open but it might not happen.

We’re getting players back. We’re getting Paul, Diogo, Eric, Timothy back, that’s four extra bodies back for us in the coming months.

Diogo is playing tonight in the game for the youngsters, from then on he’s ready, Eric, Tim and Paul probably need a little more time.
