The Manchester United Thread

Jury's still out on Maguire tbh. While Maguire hasn't been bad, he hasn't been great either. Def not gotten our money's worth nor has he had the VVD-esque influence but sometimes, I feel he isn't the final piece in the jigsaw to make everything gel.

Now I'm not sold on OGS and I think it was boneheaded AF to have handed him a permanent contract but I feel he warrants another transfer window. My fear however is if the whole OGS experiment fails, Poch may have been snatched up which means we are royally ******.
 
And Scouse, I disagree with you when you state United lack an identity. We do but the issue with it is only certain teams allow us to effectively express that identity.

OGS sets up with a front 3 that can be devastating on the break. In essence, we are a counter attacking team. The issue with this is outside the top 6, very few teams will give us those half spaces between the midfield and defense to exploit. As a result, we have to carve out our own chances with possession. There is very little creativity in the squad to do so. This is why we have such a good record vs the top 6 and have only like 1 win vs the bottom 10.


A great team should be able to play both with possession and on the break. We only know how to play one way atm. I feel this issue could be addressed by signing more creative mids and an actual target man/pure no. 9
 
This ref is an idiot. He might as well wear black and white. Wouldnt be surprised if he called VAR to check that goal for offside.
 
Good fight back. The lads have actually showed some grit and desire after conceding and now are turning on the style. More of the same second half and get Pogba on
 
Yeah, Solskjaer said its damaged knee ligaments. Now when United have Pogba back, McTom is out for a long time. And thats why you need more midfielders.
 
Mason Greenwood has netted eight goals in all competitions this season - the only teenager with more in Europe's big five leagues is Jadon Sancho (12). #MUFC [BBC]

@scoutsattending
15yo Chertanovo FW Sergei Pinyaev set for 3rd #mufc 'internship' in January of 14 days (max allowed by visa)

last time in Manchester he scored 5 of Utd's 6 goals in friendly v Bari youth team..
 
All in all it was a decent performance, but once again we start the game so sloppily and with no tempo. A recurring theme that seemingly doesn't get addressed against these smaller sides. But a win is a win, however I think Newcastle were causes of their own downfal, errors leading to most of our goalsl and played into our hands with the space they started to give us when they took the lead.
