Squad player? He's barely even a Championship standard. If he didn't come from the academy united fans would see him for what he really is.

Lmao. It’s obvious you don’t like him and haven’t for ages. Hardly championship standard ???‍♂️

No surprise that press, pundits ex players and whole media in general are saying midfield has cost us this season.

We knew that in the Summer. That midfield is so thin. Thank **** McTom improved as he did otherwise United would be in even worse situation. If United wants top 4 challenge, they need at least one midfielder. Or find someone in Academy that will make 5 jumps above his level and impact the game. And I doubt either will happen.

How many championship attackers have like 0 assists/goals in the last year?? I'm genuinely curious. I bet nearly every player has better statistics in his position from the championship.

True mate. Luckily McTom and Fred have improved massively under Ole and Co. But alas our stupid luck with injuries has hit again. Really hope there’s something in the Benfica Cm talk especially since they just signed Weigl from Dortmund. I honestly wouldn’t mind Can on Loan for the rest of the season

Considering Lingard playtime, it would hard to find a match.

Btw today is Rooney comeback with Derby.
 
Two things that confirms Ole isn't the right man: --

He said creativity isn't the problem.

He said he was happy with a Matic and Fred midfield. He deserves what he gets now this window.

L'pool beat Sheff. Utd tonight, and win the game in hand at West Ham, which in all likelihood they will, that leaves Utd 30 points outside of first just over half a season in.

Just stop and think about that ..... THIRTY points! TEN wins! That's nearly half the games played! This is pre-PL Utd historically bad.

He must some have some proper dirt on Woodward to not be on the block.

Tbh yesterday can’t blame him for there second that was a good save that just rebounded of the back of Lindelöf. Shaw at the back is the biggest worry. Never knows where his attacker is and has cost us 3 gls the last 4 weeks

Yeah but he gave the ball away to Lacazette on one occasion that nearly cost us a goal

FFP be damned!

The EFL are a continued disgrace.

FFP in EFL only affects teams that are longer there. If PL teams drop down they have money and can scheme a lot to by winning promotion and parachute money. Thats why it was soo good to see Derby lose last year. They are currently in bad situation with paying wages and the selling issue of their stadium. Punishments must be more severe and direct.

OGS may make the point of "well, you didn't sign up all my targets plus we have an incredibly thin side" to Woodward which hands over a bit of guilt.

Its dumb really. United missed Bruno Fernandes in the Summer and now there's no guarantee Pogba will play for United anymore. He might, but either timing is really, really, REALLY fcking bad, or he's off. And btw, Dani Olmo was available in the Summer for 30 mill, now Barca have sent that offer and Dinamo will probably accept it. Now United is going to sign ( theoretically) Gedson from Benfica? A 21 year old midfielder who's nowhere near as safe bet as those 2 plus he's going to cost a bomb and no way he'll come ready made to improve United.

Oh and Weigl is a defensive midfielder as far as I know? Ah, we'll have to wait and see. Whats sure that second part of the season is probably be long and painful.

Im glad we went nowhere near Weigl. Gedson like Olmo can’t be seen a safe bet tbh. But it’s no doubt both would improve us. And cost about the same fee. But at the same time are completely different types of players. Both would be ideal to fill both roles we are short. It’s very strange no club was genuinely interested in Fernandes from Sporting.

Weigl is slower than Matic lol not the level you want he has regressed badly. January is a notoriously hard time to do transfers as no club wants to lose their best players midway through the season unless a king's ransom is paid. Better off assessing the main midfield targets and waiting till the summer to get the right man that will definitely improve you instead of signing someone now.
 
Yous lot might regret giving De Gea that new contract because Dean Henderson will be a star, made a world-class save to deny Salah and was desperately unlucky with the Mane goal.
