The Manchester United Thread

Manchester United's starting eleven to face Brighton's under-18s:

Heath (GK), Hefalu, Mills, Kukonki, Overy, Thwaites, Ibragimov (C), McEvoy, Mantato, Ibrovic-Fletcher.

On the bench: Z. Watson, J. Watson, Nkoto, Gabriel, Rooney


We appear to be winning 1-0 at half time, courtesy of Kukonki.

4-0 now, we've just scored 3 goals in 4 minutes. Ibragimov, Mantato & Lusale
 
Finished 4-0. 3 games, 3 wins, 10 goals & 0 conceded. Not a bad start for our u18s league campaign and Darren Fletchers first role in management
 
The real reason why the Turk has been in goal for the first two league games. Time to give Heaton the job. Onana's keeping skills may have suited the Italian league but on a wet night in the UK is another matter. Burnley will be looking forward to their weekend match. However on a plus point one of the forwards scored :LOL:

I told you from the get go even last year. The first priority this summer was to bin him and get just an average steady eddy in. His fundamentals in goalkeeping are so bad, everytime I watch him its like he taught himself how to play keeper. Forget the midfield just get a keeper in.
The fans have been sayng all along a decent sensible keeper is needed (preferably one who can 'bully' his own defence), however, the forward line was just as important, any club which can't score has no chance even with a worldclass keeper, a team with a keeper who drops more clangers than the soup dragon (ok so the Soup Dragon on the Clangers never dropped one as far as I remember but you get my meaning) who's forwards can't score deserve to be a laughing stock. This maybe why the midfielder signing has become less of a priority.

All the best against Burnley. Could do with Utd winning that.

Can’t be having the INEOSGlazers binning Amorim too early.

Chelsea reach agreement with Manchester United to sign Alejandro Garnacho. Deal for 21yo winger worth £40m fixed fee plus £5m add ons + 10% sell-on clause. Contract to 2032 - medical scheduled for London on Friday as Argentina int’l joins #CFC from #MUFC @TheAthleticFC
 
Excellent fee as well with the sell-on BTW.

Not much to praise INEOS for, but credit where it's due there.

Yeah and getting nearly £50 guaranteed for Hojlund. I know you don’t agree with how INEOS have gone about things with the handling of job losses etc. but there’s no denying there not making a big difference on how we operate to hopefully get us back on some sort of level footing going forward. With this manager or not.
 
Even accounting for the toxicity at Utd helping nobody, I can’ see Garnacho’s ego improving at Chelsea. London is not a good mix for his attitude.

Pity as there’s a talent there.
There was talent in Ravel Morrison too and look at how his career has gone. You are right about his ego (there are a few others around like him currently not just at Old Trafford or in English football) and the effect London will have on it. However, I'm sure he will find the bench at Chelsea just as comfortable like Rashford will at Barca.
