A lot of praise for garn and mainoo and rightly so!
I want to give a big pat on the back to Onana, a lot on here joined the pile on few weeks back along with every journalist and media outlet but the guy has showed a bit of character, produced good performances, big saves and won us big points! All while playing with a back four that has had zero continuity and consistency!
Good on him!
1.) 27 Nov 2023 09:38:00
I was dubious that Mainoo was going to be up to Matthaus / Makelele levels everyone was building him up to, but what a great start for him, and for one so young in a position players generally grow into over time. A breath of fresh air.
2.) 27 Nov 2023 10:03:31
Mainoo was a breath of fresh air yesterday, he showed such composure to make space for himself with the ball, as well as doing the hard work of tracking back and being a nuisance.
Also really good to see Luke Shaw back from injury, let's hope we can start to build some real momentum, especially with the tough run of fixtures coming up.
3.) 27 Nov 2023 11:15:23
Mainoo is so calm and Football IQ of a much older player. The position he played is one of the most difficult positions to play in and why so many top teams even now are always looking for that one player who can play a proper 6.
Lets hope Martinez gets on grass soon as he will be immense and take things up another notch.
4.) 27 Nov 2023 11:58:13
Let us all hope that we can keep him.
5.) 27 Nov 2023 12:03:54
Great to get the win and actually score some goals even though not a great performance but win is a win.
but the team sheet says more about how poor ETH buys/ Loans have really been, with virtually all of them on the bench and not in the team!
If I were SJR or even the Glazers I would not give ETH another bean to spend it’s quite disgraceful, I’ve said all along that what we had (and they not great) but they were better then the ones that come in!
6.) 27 Nov 2023 14:05:21
Mainoo was by far the best player on that pitch yesterday.
Apart from the goal Garnacho didn't really do anything else.
The performance as a whole was bloody dreadful.
We don't seem to be able to string more than 5 passes together in the midfield. Players not controlling the ball, Passas going astray and not hitting the targets. It was dreadful to watch.
Don't get me wrong a win is a win but what kind of football is Ten Hag trying to play? What kind of style are we playing? . Are we pressing or are we counter attacking? .
This is the worst football i have watched since Fergie left, it's absolutely dire!
7.) 27 Nov 2023 21:44:30
Rangers or whatever your called this week
Hoijland Mount malacia Erickson Martinez Casemiro injured
Reguillon Evans loan signings at the death to cover injuries
Hats off too to ETH or the club for not going out and wasting money on a 6 like amrabat and only loaning him because they trust mainoo!
The win looks even better with that list of absentees!
8.) 28 Nov 2023 01:36:36
The first 15 mins yesterday is the style of football EtH is trying to play. We dominated the ball and you could see a progressive shape with Dalot pushed well forward, producing the inside run for THAT goal.
Around minute 12 to 15 Everton started to be more aggressive and to press S they realised that is was McGuire and Lindelof at the back and not Nesta and Maldini.
Mainoo is firmly in EtH plans, he was a feature of the tour and no chance EtH is not going to bring him into the first team. To watch the guy is to see his potential. He has a long way to go yet though.
9.) 28 Nov 2023 11:28:41
If your good enough you should play regardless of your age.
I seen more from Mainoo in 70 minutes than Mctominay over the past 5 years.
05 Nov 2023 07:18:37
I'll compare to United because that's who I support but every team would of watched and said the same
I'll use Casemiro from last season when he was picking up red cards for fun, how have the VAR and ref at Newcastle not sent havertz off, first one alone is off the floor dangerous and late, he then flies in again ten minutes later! Nothing!
Bruno leaves a forearm intentionally first half they looked at it and didn't even book him! Casemiro was sent off for less imo on both occasions! I bet other fans of clubs can also think back!
14 Oct 2023 20:11:14
Big blow that it's not qatar and on the face of it most of us won't be happy with sjr seemingly getting into bed with the glazers
But but but it's not the best news but it's certainly good news, the slow start of eventually getting them out, sjr will have our best interest and there will be investment! It cannot be a bad thing even if it's not the best outcome!
There is potentially light at the end .
1.) 14 Oct 2023 20:37:05
Complete nonsense.
2.) 14 Oct 2023 20:38:32
SJR will have no say in how the club will be run. Hell will purchase a 25% stake, which in turn goes directly to the Glazers.
3.) 14 Oct 2023 20:47:56
He’s not going to of bought 25 % without guarantees of further control!
Why would he!
4.) 14 Oct 2023 20:49:00
DLIB enlighten me? We’re all disappointed or most of us are but the bigger picture is there is finally movement!
5.) 14 Oct 2023 20:53:31
You enlighten me?
6.) 14 Oct 2023 20:59:30
He won’t be the controlling share will he, he needs to hit another 30 odd% won’t he, not sure he ever will. Glazers for the cash injection they wanted to carry on leaching off us.
7.) 14 Oct 2023 21:15:45
If Ratcliffe buys 25% of the shares, all the money goes to the Glazers. It won’t do anything for the club. The toxicity will continue. The “movement” talked about would be irrelevant.
Yet again the club would spurn an opportunity. Continuity Glazer, people need to wake up.
8.) 14 Oct 2023 21:32:15
Only reason Jim wants United is because of the rights he has to the so called oil or gas that's beneath the ground. This has nothing to do with putting the Manchester back into Manchester United (whatever that means) and him being a lifelong United fan. This is simply another ploy of making more money to fill his pockets.
9.) 14 Oct 2023 22:33:11
I can't imagine there is that much oil or gas below ot, the glazers would have found it by now, knocked the stadium down and got us ground sharing with Salford.
10.) 14 Oct 2023 23:58:53
Ratcliffe knows to get max value out of Utd they need top sponsorship and income from winning trophies. Yes he will want to make money but if the team keeps losing he knows he will lose out too. He also is allegedly a Utd supporter so should have a better idea than the Glazers about what the club needs.
11.) 15 Oct 2023 02:47:50
You keep believing that he has the club's best interests at heart because he claims to be a lifelong supporter. And you actually believe the Glazers didn't know what was needed to get united challenging and successful. They chose not to do so because they view United as an American franchise. Am surprised they didn't do like their American counterparts, when they can't fully finance a stadium rebuild by asking the Manchester council to fund the new stadium and if they refused, threaten to relocated United to a next part of England.
12.) 15 Oct 2023 08:26:17
Redman
It would be a terrible deal if the 25% investment is not reinvested in some form into the club. what does Ratcliff get from doing something like this. I realize the Glazers can just pocket it but that would be an outrage everyone. Let's wait and see the details.
13.) 15 Oct 2023 08:51:06
Chris1
You disappoint me. That is bolloxology of the very lowest order. You delude yourself!
14.) 15 Oct 2023 09:31:43
Fizz
What does anyone know here at this time to make such conclusive statements about the clubs future. Its all hearsay until a deal is announced and details come out.
Its all emotional statements based on the disappointment of glazers not being gone completely without any facts what things look like going forward.
15.) 15 Oct 2023 09:54:56
Ahmad.
You keep telling yourself that but there are some facts to be considered:
Have the Glazers been bought out? Fact - NO.
Are they still on the board with a controlling share? Fact - YES.
Is the huge debt still there? Fact - YES.
Has SJR made any reference to clearing the debt? Fact - NO.
Has SJR made any reference to improving the ground and Carrington? Fact - NO.
Nothing positive in my view or emotional knee jerk so I'll stick with my thoughts on this.
16.) 15 Oct 2023 10:05:04
Get a grip fizz my point is this, we all wanted qatar but let’s be honest before sheikh came along we were all desperate for Jim, and why? Because it meant the end of the glazers! We don’t know what this deal is but sjr is no mug and isn't going to invest 25 % of the clubs value for nothing in return! If the glazers don’t want to sell yet which seems obvious then this is the best we can hope for, a tiny glimmer! Not a lot the sheikh or sjr can do if they don’t want to sell! If that’s delusional then you need stop sulking and man up! We’re all disappointed but what can we do! Hope and pray that sjr gets those leaches out of our club as soon as possible as it appears now he’s our only hope .
17.) 15 Oct 2023 10:31:44
Chris,
We did not ALL want Qatar at all, there are many many people who didn’t want Qatar. The fact that fans of our club are so gutted that we aren’t being taken over by that regime just shows where we are at.
18.) 15 Oct 2023 10:44:51
Fizz
Everything you have listed is assumptions and your opinion. You might be proven very wrong on many of them including settlement of debt, investment in stadium and just a wholesale change of how the club will run going forward including the board.
unless you think SJR is a donkey and decided to give the glazers 1.5 billion for a club that lost 6 million last quarter I believe.
19.) 15 Oct 2023 15:52:25
Fizz everything you’ve said is guesswork let’s all at least hear off sjr if and when this happens!
16 Apr 2023 19:07:31
Excellent that all things considered!
Only criticism is it's not 4/ 5/ 6 but on the whole the players delivered! Very well done ?.
1.) 16 Apr 2023 20:04:08
Totally agree thought we were excellent
Bruno Anthony Eriksen and AWB all superb today for me.
2.) 17 Apr 2023 06:27:32
Bruno was top class. He bossed the game.
Unlucky as Navas was almost in God mode.
3.) 17 Apr 2023 12:43:46
Probably for the first time in a decade every element of our midfield looked fantastic. Casemiro doing the dirty work with Bruno and Eriksen interchanging for fun. Forest didn't seem to have a midfield which helped but really good to see everything click.
13 Apr 2023 22:40:47
Only ourselves to blame absolute joke how we've let them back in, fantastic football first half but top top teams go and kill them and get it wrapped up! A trait we're still lacking!
Injuries big blow, varane no big shock he's flakey as is Shaw whose also out but that is the end of Martinez this season!
Three huge games in three competitions this week now, should have been going to Seville with main men resting at home but here we are!
17 Nov 2023 21:07:38
4/ 5 points, not quite a way at all! In fact to keep in the pack with our injuries is excellent imo! Don’t listen to the media, our injury record this season is phenomenal and has clearly had a detrimental effect on performances! To still be there or thereabouts is huge positive!
14 Sep 2023 16:14:03
The biggest thing with this whole sancho saga is ultimately he’s nowhere near good enough and nowhere near professional enough! Simple!
01 Sep 2023 09:18:01
Wazza if he read this forum he’d never of signed ??.
31 Aug 2023 06:39:27
Trafford over the years I’ll stick up for ddg but in last few we could have signed umpteen keepers who improved us, luckily we signed one of the best gk in Europe!
Mount in my opinion isn’t better than Bruno as a 10 but he’s head and shoulders better than the rest of our forward options in nearly every position, he’s criminally under rated by our fans . And I suppose the fact he’s excellent in various positions is attractive to the manager!
I fully believe hoijland will be far better than the strikers yes, forget rashford goals as a number 9, which we’re nowhere near as many he had off the left but this guy is a proper number 9, big strong quick has a great work ethic! Something we haven’t seen from a number 9 in donkeys years at United, especially when rashford is up top!
30 Aug 2023 20:54:45
No offence Danny I couldn’t care less who you want or who I want, I want the club to sign who the manager wants so let’s hope we get it done!
27 Nov 2023 21:44:30
Rangers or whatever your called this week
Hoijland Mount malacia Erickson Martinez Casemiro injured

Hats off too to ETH or the club for not going out and wasting money on a 6 like amrabat and only loaning him because they trust mainoo!
The win looks even better with that list of absentees!
26 Nov 2023 14:48:12
All the very best with your mum Ahmad ??????.
23 Nov 2023 21:23:11
How many idiots can post on one thread? We got two big ones here!
23 Nov 2023 09:05:40
On the gers ????????
Did you watch last season at times he was fantastic, who was the manager?
Rashford form boils down to one thing and one person, himself and his attitude/ application!
If pep had sancho imagine how good he’d be …. Oh wait a minute!
21 Nov 2023 17:31:50
Rangers red you are without a doubt the most delusional blinkered individual I’ve seen on here since the last name change.
