The Manchester United Thread

What' happened to him?

He used to be one of my favourite non-L'pool players to watch and someone I'd have taken in a heartbeat from United. But the last few years, be it through injury/ poor coaching/ a combination of both, his career has completely gone down the pan.

Say that for most atm. How the **** can a player get paid all that money. Can’t pass 5yrds, can’t control a ball, won’t put a foot in especially the attacking players.

Fans crying about Greenwood being subbed last night. He was just as bad with his passing. And do t get me started on his lack of effort going the other way or refusing to challenge for a ball.

Ta. Shocking that.

They've all had it WAY too easy for too long mate. Particularly the last few years under Solksjaer.

The one positive is if Rangnick is to be heavily involved upstairs going forward, they won't be at the football club. He won't F around. He's getting to see first-hand the P poor attitude of many.

How people can't see what he's up against is just nuts.

Yep time for a cleanse
 
Well, a lot has happened and been said. I've seen sporadic #rangnickout trends *chuckles* and ***** regurgitated commentary about our "lack of identity".

When I watch United play under Rangnick, I get this LVG-esque feeling: I get what he's trying to do but the players aren't fully buying into it or just aren't good enough. The difference is LVG was given so much freedom to pick and choose his signings but bought so many misfits for his style of play. For example, he bought Schneiderlin who was the Aaron Wan Bissaka of DMs. At some point, he'd pluck players from our academy who would end up outperforming his actual signings (Madness).


I understand why Rangnick prefers signing u24 players: there's a certain level of hunger you'd see to implement this system. Phil Jones was MOTM on Sunday so that should tell you a lot. You can't implement a high press with Ronaldo leading the way. Cavani has to do the work of 2 players which just makes everything disjointed. His hold up play is terrible as well so he really doesn't bring much else outside of finishing. We don't push our defensive line high enough as we have a fridge of the defender. Many players are just off form ATM. Players take one too many touches before releasing a direct ball over the top.

Another this is the attitude of certain player rub me the wrong way. Almost infectious across the entire dressing room. We need to be ruthless this summer with some of these players.

Some Manchester United players in doubt over Ralf Rangnick's suitability to be Old Trafford boss

There are cliques within the Manchester United dressing room, a source has told Sky Sports News; United lost their first game under Ralf Rangnick on Monday night as Wolves punished another poor display; Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville has questioned the togetherness of the squad

Exactly what we were discussing yesterday.

The poor lil' dears have it WAY too easy for WAY too long. And now they are actually being asked to work and earn their scandalous salaries, they don't like it one bit and are starting to try get rid of another manager.

MASSIVE 5 months for the club. If they let player power win out again, I don't know where you go from this?

The below is quote from the article:

"Rangick is seemingly coming to the same conclusion as Solskjaer that Van de Beek is ill-suited to the rigours of the Premier League. His technique is pristine but sources say in training he struggles to cover the ground and deal with pressure on the ball."

...An early focus has been on shoring up defence, with an expectation that Rangnick will conduct detailed attacking work this week.
 
Richard Arnold to replace Ed Woodward, plans to grant autonomy to the sporting side, allowing for greater control of budget and decisions. Football director John Murtough will take the lead, assisted by technical director Darren Fletcher and Ralf Rangnick.

So, it seems no new additions in the January window for United. Its going to be a long rest of the season.
 
Sure, but you only have 2 CM options in McTominay and Fred. And thats it. Thats as bare as it gets. Donny is not fitting in, Pogba is no where to be found and Matic does not have the tank. Bruno does not have the discipline to play as a CM.

Can you like stop playing teams I want you to beat?

This is getting most annoying.

Like last time out against the Saudi rats, another defeat to send the inbred mongs from Burnley another step toward disappearing back to the lower leagues, never to be seen again, would be most welcome.

Please don't F this one up too. Thanks in advance.

This is beyond annoying now.

Now the rats back in the PL at Villa, I sincerely hope you progress in the Cup.

Stop it! Next round play someone I aren't arsed about like Arsenal. It's bugging me now! 😡
 
Rangnick: "We have players' contracts expiring in summer, one or two wanting to leave, it's about the player dealing with that in a professional way. Every player has opportunity to show up in training. If I realise this is not the case I'll address with players directly." #MUFC



Rangnick on midfield additions in January: "It doesn't help (now) if there is a profile missing, we need to work with players we have. We had too many turnovers, we shouldn't make it easy for the other team. It's about responsible decision-making at the right moment." #MUFC
