Reading that Mount will be out for several weeks with a hamstring injusy.
1.) 29 Aug 2024 17:08:37
Has he been hanging out with Luke Shaw? Both made of glass.
2.) 29 Aug 2024 18:34:39
I've heard they spent time together over Christmas, guzzling down bottles of Baillys.
3.) 29 Aug 2024 18:36:38
People suggest Antony is the worst signing in recent years but for me it is Mount, £60m for a player who plays in the position our captain and ever present player plays, he had a year left on his contract and had just had a season where he was poor or injured. It made no sense to sign him and it makes no sense now, we also gave him ridiculous wages so we are stuck with him and he’s constantly injured. Just glad we didn’t give him the number 7, oh wait.
4.) 29 Aug 2024 19:01:04
Damn, we look suddenly short of options with mount injured and mc gone.
5.) 29 Aug 2024 20:16:41
But everyone said we needed a LB more than a midfielder ??♂️.
6.) 29 Aug 2024 20:56:20
videos of malacia training on grass, so a bit of good news.
7.) 29 Aug 2024 21:00:11
I’d go get Rabiot.
8.) 30 Aug 2024 09:43:23
Rabiot would be a great signing, especially if we can negotiate a good deal (2 years with a 1 year option, wages around 150-180k per week) .
Just want to make sure we don't go full Glazer on a deal and give him a 5 year contract on 300k per week.
9.) 30 Aug 2024 10:12:06
I've been saying all summer I would prioritise two midfielders even if Casemiro stays. Agree with Shappy here, Rabiot on 2-3 year deal on reasonable wages would be absolutely ideal.
10.) 30 Aug 2024 20:37:30
Lots of psychics here, anyone predict the lottery numbers or shall we stick to the told you so approach ?.
14 Jul 2024 16:48:08
Zirkzee completes signing for £36.5M.
1.) 15 Jul 2024 20:34:48
Sorry ed I didn't realise you were brokering deals.
30m+ for mcT ed, that's what he is worth. So 30+McT is a bit more in line. With a couple of achievable add ons and you can have him ?.
{Ed025's Note - only 1 year left on his contract angel so you will have to come in with a lower price than that, and when you do get back to me and your people and my people can meet and thrash out the details mate.. :)
2.) 16 Jul 2024 10:27:58
Haha sound mate ?.
19 Apr 2024 18:44:10
Wilcox appointed technical director with immediate effect.
1.) 19 Apr 2024 19:36:54
It's very good news, thought it was close when they let Murtough go.
Need Ashworth sorted as soon as, then get on with proper planning for the future.
2.) 19 Apr 2024 19:38:19
Good news. Big job and big opportunity for him.
Ashworth is proving to be more difficult than anticipated but hopefully we can get him in for this summer too.
It's doubtful as it's a bit of a stalemate situation by all accounts.
3.) 19 Apr 2024 19:41:16
Another step in the right direction.
4.) 19 Apr 2024 21:41:19
Ashworth will get done too once newcastle settle on his replacement. great news finally one done and one to go.
5.) 19 Apr 2024 22:54:24
Ineos have set their stall on Ashworth so I'm sure it will be done, but it would amaze me if he's in place ahead of the summer. He was involved in a lot of their planning and gardening leave is designed to protect companies from people moving to rivals with sensitive information of this sort. Beyond the summer I think that argument drops off.
6.) 20 Apr 2024 07:14:32
I’m sure he’s sat at home resting Don, providing no feedback or input at all to Utd’s plans….
7.) 20 Apr 2024 07:37:53
Spot on Eric. Pretty sure Ashworth will have already been chipping in and planning in the background. What else is he going to do, play Minecraft all summer?
8.) 20 Apr 2024 08:27:16
He could be designing the new Old Trafford on Minecraft.
9.) 19 Apr 2024 19:52:36
Could someone explain what this role involves in layman’s terms please?
{Ed002's Note - In all probability he will look after the scouting and transfers.}
10.) 20 Apr 2024 14:45:30
You might be right Eric but that sort of thing could land him personally in a lot of legal trouble if proven. As he's not an MUFC employee he'd be very exposed, so I think that beyond giving his blessing to the signing of Wilcox and getting to know the structure of the club etc, I think it's fairly unlikely he's as involved as you imagine.
11.) 20 Apr 2024 18:10:28
… and Real Madrid never spoke to Mbappe over the years, ever.
12.) 20 Apr 2024 23:07:15
Yep Spenno.
When I moved from one F1 team to another I was forced to sign a non disclosure agreement for IP.
But it wasn’t worth the paper it was written on. Was I suddenly going to forget how to design the electronic systems?
Same with Ashworth. They will call him and he will “suggest” options. As long as he doesn’t do the deal, then all good.
05 Feb 2024 18:12:10
Just released. The knee injury to Martinez is indeed serious and he’s expected to be out for at least 2 months. ?.
1.) 05 Feb 2024 19:24:36
Could have been worse, others needs to step up.
2.) 05 Feb 2024 20:19:29
It's ok, he'll be back for the title run-in.
3.) 05 Feb 2024 20:21:23
Saw the list of games and think only City that we will really miss him for. Rest of games with Varane, Maguire and Lindelof back now should be able to cope.
4.) 05 Feb 2024 20:59:36
Especially with two weeks international including, after the rumours last night I’d say 8 weeks is good news!
5.) 05 Feb 2024 22:20:54
Bet he doesn't figure again this season and we don't have anyone anywhere near as good as cover.
6.) 06 Feb 2024 09:58:09
I think that depends on a number of factors Salford.
If we are in race for top 4 and need him then it maybe that he plays but if there is no hope for 4th then perhaps he won't play again this season and in that scenario it might be for the best.
7.) 07 Feb 2024 08:27:52
I agree what's the point of rushing him back if we are out of things. I know they said 8 weeks but knee injuries are tricky and I would not risk it at all.
Huge game this weekend folks. We beat villa and we will reel in both spurs and villa imo with 14 games to go.
We have very tough games later vs city, Liverpool and Arsenal with 2 being at home and will drop points but so will all the other teams above us. I have a feeling we will decide who wins the Pl Title this year even if we are not in it. Would be great if we crush liverpool's chances:) anyone but them imo.
8.) 07 Feb 2024 09:51:02
Martinez isn't the type of player that will want to sit it out on the side lines, he will want to back playing ASAP even if it means playing the last 3-4 games.
The guy is a winner through and through.
9.) 09 Feb 2024 09:56:28
It's a totally different injury to his foot so there shouldn't be any issues with that.
However, knee ligament injuries need to be given ample time to fully heal or you risk reinjuring it if you try to come back too soon.
Ultimately a players health should always be put above the sporting aspirations of the club.
If we have to wait an extra few weeks for him to come back then that's what we need to do.
I'd rather miss him for an extra few games this season then risk him reinjuring it, missing pre-season and maybe the start of next season.
This season is pretty much done for us at this point. Bar a run in the FA cup and an outside chance of top four. But to get top four now probably means a big drop off in form from one of the teams up there already as well as us putting a consistent run together.
For me this season now is mostly about getting players fit, giving youth an opportunity to develop and having a go in the FA cup.
10.) 09 Feb 2024 11:26:50
Shappy
No so fast my friend, a win this weekend and we are right there. Spurs and villa have to play each other and they also have a tougher remaining fixture list imo. 14 games after this weekend 5 point gap is really nothing. Its all up to us and I am an optimist:)
11.) 10 Feb 2024 09:23:06
Ahmad, and a loss to Villa this weekend and it's an 8 point gap with 13 games left to play.
We've managed to play better in the last few games since we got a few players back from injury. Martinez being probably the key one. Unfortunately he's now injured again.
Our form is finely balanced on keeping players fit. A couple of injuries and our season falls apart again.
I'm optimistic that we can get top four, but I'm tempering that optimism with the reality that injuries could well derail our season again as they have the first half of the season. While we also need two teams above us to drop more points than us over the remaining fixtures.
Which means that the odds are slightly stacked against us. Can we beat the odds? Sure of course we can. But I wouldn't be banking on it or expecting it.
12.) 10 Feb 2024 10:01:13
Shappy
I agree a loss would be 11 point gap and then it too far gone. I think we will win a tough/ close game 2-1 or 3-2 imo if villa show up. we will show up and If Martinez was playing I would have us winning with bigger margin. The options as cb pairings don't give me a lot of confidence, the rest of the pitch we are good imo.
20 Jul 2023 19:05:13
Onana done.

Tell me again that it isn't the players throwing the manager/ coach under the bus! This group of players have no backbone or minerals. Same old same old and if Rashford isn't shown the door asap I will be shocked. Great start then walkball all over again. Sick of the sight of them!
1.) 25 Nov 2024 11:03:06
How in gods green earth was that throwing a manager under the bus?
2.) 25 Nov 2024 11:21:01
Yesterday was the second lowest distance (102km) ran as a team so far this season, and their third lowest XG (0.90). We were playing a team in 19th place.
It doesn't matter who the manager/ coach is, the board need a major overhaul of these players otherwise it will be another persons career ruined in 12 months time.
3.) 25 Nov 2024 12:19:04
Does anyone dispute that we need better players?
A lack of quality/ ability isn’t throwing someone under the bus.
4.) 25 Nov 2024 12:41:30
Caolin by not putting in a shift and strolling is doing, or is likely to do exactly that. I stand by my comment because they simply strolled around yesterday.
5.) 25 Nov 2024 13:07:36
Lack of quality is one thing, but a lack of effort is just unacceptable.
6.) 25 Nov 2024 14:31:06
I didn’t see much that made me think they weren’t trying.
Same as under ten hag, I said the same thing.
Were people expecting to win this game 5-0 yesterday or what?
7.) 25 Nov 2024 17:11:55
ofcourse not, a draw vs Ipswich is a great result.
how the mighty have fallen!
8.) 25 Nov 2024 23:04:44
Dididildo, shouldn't you be on the Liverpool page? Are you lost?
13 Nov 2024 18:29:39
Watching the interview on Sky Sports with Nemanja Vidic. He clearly states that the players need to look at themselves. Top man.
1.) 13 Nov 2024 20:01:43
Once they've looked at themselves presumably in a mirror, then what should they do?
2.) 13 Nov 2024 20:59:16
Great player, but stating the bleeding obvious there. I'm sure he said something similar after Ole got sacked, and possibly Jose as well.
3.) 13 Nov 2024 21:12:36
I found it really interesting when David Moyes talked about the mentality still being great when he was there. Players were obviously coming to the end of their careers, but were still holding each other to account.
It’s shocking how far away we are from that now. It has rarely looked like a group of players willing to fight for and with one another. It often seems like the players are unable to push each other. Expecting the coach to bring out the best in them, rather than looking to themselves. I do see that with Sporting, so hopefully Ruben can lead them toward that, or bring in the type of characters who will start holding others to account.
4.) 14 Nov 2024 09:59:04
I remember that good old 'manager bounce' in the first game under Rangnick. They looked like men possessed for half an hour, before reverting to type. Hope Ruben can inspire the same, but of course desire and effort are only part of it, the fitness needs to be there too which it probably isn't at the moment.
5.) 14 Nov 2024 15:26:41
Vida was part of the last generation of players that would die for the badge. What I'd do to have a player like him in our back line.
6.) 14 Nov 2024 17:54:57
DSG, get with the programme and fight for the club, badge, team, supporters or request a transfer. Simple really.
7.) 14 Nov 2024 18:38:15
There is only 5 or 6 players left from the ole team or before.
Maguire, lindelof, Shaw, rashford, dalot and Bruno.
Of those I put a serios question mark after the 1st 4. I don't think dalot or Bruno have any issue attitude wise.
The rest I don't question their attitude or their openness to be led by a new leader.
We can debate their qualities all day long.
Over the next 18 months the jobs their doing now on the pitch is nothing like what they will be doing 18 months.
Rasmus will be asked to play a very different role as will many others.
If they don't do it well or show potential to do well I've no doubt whatsoever that they won't be kept.
The system to him will come before anything as it won't or can't work with any slackers.
He will mould what he can from what he has. I think we will all be surprised by a few that 'get it' and improve dramatically. The pieces he can't mould he will bring in over time.
Super hopeful and confident we have a leader now. A leader that all fans, all players want to follow.
I'm also predicting that in 18 months time he will be the darling of the media.
Lots of big bumps in the road and we will suffer some tough games as he tries to mould his team but if we are all seeing progress in general then so be it.
11 Nov 2024 17:54:50
I think it was always going to be the case but, it’s sad to see that RVN is leaving the club.
1.) 11 Nov 2024 18:09:02
I'm glad to see that. Rvn one of my fav all time players and he was a safe pair of hands while we were in between head coaches.
A fresh start is the way I would have looked to go in with if I were amorim.
2.) 11 Nov 2024 18:40:10
Sad but necessary. He can leave with his head held high. Fan favourite and always will be.
3.) 11 Nov 2024 18:56:19
Loved Ruud as a player, he did well as manager over the past 4 games. However, it is absolutely the right decision when you consider that Amorim is bringing his whole coaching team in.
Would be just making a role out of sentimentality and that rarely works.
Thank you, hope to see you manging another team soon.
4.) 11 Nov 2024 19:53:29
It was inevitable. Amorim has to have full authority for coaching matters including staff, because his and the club's futures depend upon it. RVN did a good job through some relatively easy fixtures but there's really no room for sentiment. I'm sure he knew exactly how this would play out.
I'll look forward to him coming back in a d decade or so when United are once again the preeminent team in England! In the meantime we can only wish the very best for him.
5.) 11 Nov 2024 20:03:48
He could be back further down the line, hopefully.
6.) 11 Nov 2024 20:25:00
Agree ken
I like he can walk out with his head held high, a great interim job he did. Not tainted by the previous manager, and will always remain a legend
.
7.) 12 Nov 2024 17:57:02
Pretty sure RVN will land a good managerial job. The united experience will help him. Best of luck and Thank you.
22 Oct 2024 08:56:27
As I understand things we are now set up. And thus, the manager has a lot less input into choosing which players he wants, but instead his job now is to coach and set up a squad of players that have been identified by Ashworth and Wilcox etc. Hence we no longer get 'ETH targets'.
12 Sep 2024 23:13:13
A bit of nostalgic fun if I may please Eds.
Is this the best ever Goal of The Month competition on MOTD? Back in 2006 and there's one of our own in there.
1.) 14 Sep 2024 02:10:44
Love this, I wish I could project this more on to our supporters, negativity breeds negative outcomes. We were once feared, never doubted ourselves and look at what we achieved
We aren’t in a good place now but now is the time to support, we might get beat in the afternoon but I don’t love or hate US anymore or less.
Man United will never die.
30 Oct 2024 09:24:15
This group of players, generally, need a proper kick in the groin. They need to look in the mirror and recognise a bad attitude and a lack of effort that is unacceptable. Will this be another manager heading for the underside of a bus because of them? There is something fundamentally wrong with this group. Whoever the next man in charge he's got a job on his hands sorting their attitude.
25 Aug 2024 16:52:20
As I understand it, the player is yet to agree to move.
23 Aug 2024 08:55:39
Wazza ???.
20 Aug 2024 06:55:16
Where have you got this from?
13 Jul 2024 10:19:39
Absolutely bang on the money Ed001. Bang on it. Get rid asap.
02 Dec 2024 10:35:27
No, it isn't in Holland.
02 Dec 2024 09:24:45
Where is the hauge?

Jeez, but the troll is having a conversation with itself.
