The Manchester United Thread

Having had sometime to reflect on everything, while I don’t think ETH has done much to merit more time, seeing the replacements we’ve been linked with has been scary to the point that I’d rather just stick it out with ETH till the end of the season.

As a side note, we would’ve lost that game an anfield yesterday had Bruno played.
 
ETH needs to stick with what our CM was yesterday and what he had success with last season. Non of this 1 DM and 2 10s rubbish. When everyone is fit I would love to see Casemiro, Mainoo as an actual 2 with Bruno as a 10.

Using 2 #8s in the 2 half spaces in front of a defense is quite popular today which as a result slowly phases out the use to single pivots. Usually, you’d see a defender pushing up into midfield. You see this at Liverpool, Arsenal and City. Even spurs to a certain extent

I’m surprised it took Ten Hag months to figure this out.

This is my theory. He was going to use Mount and Bruno as #8 in front of Casemiro, then either Shaw or Dalot as a inverted fullback. Unfortunately, combination of injuries, being out of shape/form and general lack of tactical flexibility screwed with United and we maybe saw it one or twice this season.

Mourinho on Man United: "I don’t have regrets, Man United fans know I gave everything and I love the club". "I went there once with Sky, I was in the box and the whole stadium turned to me applauding and singing for me", told @obionepodcast.

José Mourinho: "There are still people in this club and when I say people, I am talking about certain players, but also other people who are not players, they are still there when I said after two months with these people that you will never succeed with them." #MUFC

Even for the brief 2-3 weeks we had a relatively fit side, shaw/Dalot would just abandon the middle once we lost possession which would allow the opposition to overload the midfield area. That’s why Casemiro looked so isolated.

I’m not sure if this is a coaching issue or we just don’t trust a back 3. Either way, the execution has been lacking.
 
Latest @ManUtd Fans Forum minutes out. Chief Operating Officer Collette Roche said she didn't expect Jan transfer window to be particularly busy. "We have been consistent in saying we do not see Jan as the optimal time to do business."



John Murtough tells Manchester United fans’ forum not to expect a busy January transfer window “We’ve seen this season that FFP rules have real teeth, so we have to be very careful to ensure that we remain compliant, and we will.”

This could be and sounds like the new football structure in the new year


So is it going to be

Blanc - CEO
Ashworth - Director of Football
Mitchell - Head of Recruitment
 
Wow. Will be interesting to see how talanted CB Kambwala does on debut. And good to see Mainoo starting not so much McTominey 😴 great to see Eriksen back also.
