The Manchester United Thread

I was disappointed in arsenal today tbh. They hit a lot of the rub in the green today all things considered (got a soft pen, no pen with the Tavares pull on Elanga, no pen on Cedric’s handball, Bruno’s uncharacteristic penalty miss, loads of shots off the bar, Nketiah obstructing DDG’s view on the Xhaka goal).

Yeah, probably outside of the top 2, one of the weakest top 6 in a while.

And Chelsea and Tottenham are just bang average, inconsistent sides to begin with. The fact Arsenal have now won more games this season than Chelsea is to Chelseas shameful detriment.

Again. It’ll be even more damning on Arsenals joke of an ownership if Lego Head fails to get top 4 and survives.

Maybe they are average in your eyes, but for us, the United fans, watching them is like listening to Mozart.

Did anyone notice the tweet from Pogba claiming he was trying to comeback before the end of the season despite wreck it Ralf stating he played his last game for united?

It had to be some kind of satire or automatic tweet by his PR
 
To be fair, nothing wrong with talking to some old players, especially since Lingard knows the old guard from his academy days. Scholes is the real leaker here.
 
Quite the aftermath after yesterdays defeat with McTominey and Rangnick comments and Lingard exposed as the leaker.

Oh no, there’s nothing wrong with that at all. I’m pretty sure Rio still talks to Phil Jones and he maybe aware of the situation in the dressing room but you’ve never heard Rio explicitly comment on it. One thing that stood out for me with Scholes’ comment is how he stated Lingard wouldn’t care if that information was made public.

The leaks probably intensified towards the end of Solskjaer’s tenure which coincides with reports that Lingard was disgruntled with his playing time. When you put those pieces together, it makes sense

Tahith Chong on his return: “They [#mufc] have activated the option in my contract, they see all my matches, and in the talks I’ve had with Darren Fletcher, technical director, it appears that they are satisfied with my development.” #mujournal

Tahith Chong: “They also really want me to rejoin them in preparation for next season.” #mufc #mujournal
 
Levitt: "With the new manager [ten Hag] going in at #mufc, hopefully I’ll get a chance. My contract is up in the summer and it hasn’t been spoken about yet. Hopefully, I will hear something in the next few weeks." [@thecourieruk]

I hope some of those whining fans who want instant success next season with ETH realise that it's not going to happen. No disrespect but the mismanagement by the idiots at the top with their concentration purely on profits has resulted in the sad state of affairs the club currently finds itself in.

I find it even more hilarious that fans seriously believe we’d sell 15 first team players this summer (granted 5 are leaving for free)

Yep. Problem is fans these days don’t have patience and want instant success. If ETH draws or looses the first couple of games. ETH will be trending. And them plebs on Sky or any other of the Ole lovers or Poch wanted will be slaughtering ETH to death 😡

Yeah no chance. 10 maybe 11 max leaving. Grants been told he can leave. So that’s 6 on a free. Can easily see 4/5 more going when you look at the likes of Jones, Bailly, Martial, Periera already agreed a move to Fluminese. Greenwood possibly depending on his outcome. Can see some FBs going we have AWB, Dalot, Laird, Williams, Telles, Shaw, Alvaro Fernandez going on tour apparently.

Then gotta decide on all the lonees returning Kovar, Tuanzebe, Bernard, Fish, Chong, Levitt, Galbraith, Garner, Pellistri, Diallo.

What’s gonna happen to Henderson. Huge mess to sort out!
 
This is superb news about Mitchell!


Interim manager Ralf Rangnick is scheduled to assume a consultancy role once Ten Hag arrives and he is also understood to have endorsed Monaco sporting director Paul Mitchell to the #mufc hierarchy. Who is now close to joining as Head of Recruitment #mujournal [@David_Ornstein]
 
John Murtough: Director of Football ✅
Darren Fletcher: Technical Director ✅
Paul Mitchell: Head of Recruitment ⏳
Ralf Rangnick: Advisor/ Consultant ✅
Erik Ten Hag: Coach ✅

That’s some serious restructure since Ed’s gone. Nice to see actual football people there and actual people that have excelled in there roles at a top level ( Except Fletcher ) still need to complete ETH coaching staff.
