Still feigning injury and getting handsomely rewarded for it?

The key thing in a lot of it is when Ralf (and even Solskjaer) speak about Cavani they often say "he says he's injured"

I’ve never felt we have had a great midfield for a long time tbh

It’s been such a neglected position going back to even Fergie.
I mean, we had a peak Matic at a time alongside an enigmatic Paul Pogba under Jose but that was as good as it got

Yeah we have had numbers at times. But never great/good options.

You look at Ronaldo, Cavani, Sancho, Rashford, Martial, Greenwood, Lingard, Mata. That’s not just numbers there’s genuine top class players there. Hasn’t worked out for one reason or another. Poor finishing you would think would be the least of our issues.

Wow 10 mins into the second half. City womens score 3. To go 1-3 up Terrible defending. Not surprised our CBS are *****!

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

Finished 1-4 we seriously need some top quality players. But it’s gonna be hard if we don’t get CL footy finishing in the top 3 this season.

If I remember correctly, you were just as excited as I was when Donny signed. It would be Bruno/Donny with one of the Pogba/Fred/McTominay and on paper it was really good.

I mean Fergie had easy mode with midfield. All he had to do is get some dudes who have stamina to run back and forth for 90 minutes and kick every opposing player who gets anywhere near Scholes.

Been retweeted by a couple of English journos now. Something to keep an eye on.

Source @elascensouy reports that Manchester United are in advanced talks to invest/purchase a 2nd division Uruguayan club, the same way Manchester City did with Montevideo City Torque

Darren Fletcher explaining his status @ManUtd to Fans Forum. "With Ralf + staff coming in + Michael + Kieran moving on, had a quick transition process. Part of my role to assist w that, in training + games. That’s been most visible part but is addition to Technical Director role"



Darren Fletcher to Fans Forum on being @ManUtd technical director: "Key part of role is taking holistic view of path for players from Academy to 1st team. Anthony [Elanga] done brilliantly since he broke into 1st team and Hannibal Mejbri has also been more involved in squad."

James Garner is building a big reputation at Nottingham Forest and is to be given a real shot at #mufc next season, given the issues in midfield. [@lauriewhitwell]

Presume she knows and has spoken to the next manager then, to know what the make-up of his squad will be?

*He.

 

[Vanjagl]

Laurie is a guy. And he doesn't know, thats for sure.

U23s lost to Dortmund on penalties in the knockout stage. Was 2-2 after FT. Should of had a stonewall Leno with the last attack of the match. Ref bottled it!

Played really well against a very very good Dortmund side with some standout talents. Missed a few good chances when we was on top. Everyone played well but standouts were Garnacho, Mejbri, McNiel, Fernandez.

Since Ralf Rangnick became interim manager at Man Utd, no team has created more chances in the Premier League [160] @optastats

What should I do with this information TOD?
Will it make the next Manchester United match I watch better in any way?

Lie down on the couch there Mr Dreams.
Tell me... How do you feel as a football supporter at the moment?
