The Manchester United Thread

Anyone feeling the nerves already for Sunday? It's like a cup final and I'm wondering how Leicester are going to approach this game.

1) Try to stick in the game and go for it at the end.

2) After seeing how Southampton, Palace and West Ham have played us, press from the start and put us under pressure.

I've got a feeling they might just go for the throat from the start.... but it's anyones guess. With a CB partnership of Evans and Morgan however, you probably wouldn't want a high line though!
Na not nervy. Reckon it will be a boring draw. Leicester have been pretty bad since the lockdown and have about 5/6 players out injured.

Chelsea will lose to wolves
 
Very excited that we are close to getting McNeil from City. Superb talant like Greenwood level finishing. Just slightly different styles. 600gls at academy level ?
 
Last player to do that move was Reece Devine in 2018 I believe.
If I remember correctly he was actually on our books till 11 then City managed to get him. Grass wasn’t greener I guess. See. Him live a couple of times. Absolute deadly finisher good passing also. Not a great dribbler. Could likely make a good 10 also.
 
Pele would score goals in his back garden and add them to his stats.

Eh, it's not like he doctored his stats or something. World Cup is every 4 years, so the only opportunity he had to play against best teams in the world, was to go on these tours where they challenged local clubs to a game. Not much of a point comparing that era to modern game where the structure of international football is more established. Back then the cup competitions were just starting out, transfers were rare, so everybody did these weird and unofficial matches of Rest of The World vs. England or Brazil vs. Europe and **** like this.

Plus we're talking about 1960s football, even the friendlies were probably more physical than todays competitive game where you can't touch opposing player with a feather without hearing a whistle.

It was a joke, it's not tha deep.
 
So the day of reckoning is upon us lads. Could also be the defining moment for OGS as well in terms of his job security at Man United (granted we're still in the Europa league but it'll give him peace of mind knowing he's secured UCL football)
 
Passing must be much better, though Leicester are pressing good. Question for how long can they do it.
 
I don't even get what our gameplan has been in this game..... every time we attack with any degree of pace we can cause Leicester problems. But it has took us 46 minutes to actually start attacking with any intent. Just a very poor performance from United, given Leicester 3 great chances through unforced errors, they could have easily scored 1 or 2.

Leicester want this game to go long (time wise) and they'll go for it at the end, what on earth are we even trying to do?
 
Both teams playing not to win even though we have been slightly better team. Grew into it the last 10 and looked liked we upped it a bit.
