Amrabat decision to be made next week apparently.
Regardless of the other ins and outs expected in midfield, should he stay?
1.) 13 Jul 2024 08:08:59
Hard one. His work ethic is unquestionable but lacks passing skills and can look quite labored. All depends if cas goes imo and then would make sense to have him as a squad player plus a proper new number 6 coming in. By all accounts a good character and professional.
2.) 13 Jul 2024 08:14:21
Mmm. It’s a no from me. Good heart, work rate, attitude etc, just a bit too slow for the Premier League in the ball for me.
We need an Amarambat type player absolutely, but a better version of him.
Different positions entirely, but Mason Mount has to be like a new signing for us this season. Top player and passer of the ball and a pressing machine. He’ll add a new level of energy to our midfield.
3.) 13 Jul 2024 09:12:38
Got to agree I don't think he is good enough, but maybe just lack of game time. The amount of times he gave the ball away with simple 5 yard passes that led to the opposition bearing down on goal. Great work rate but will cost us games IMHO.
4.) 13 Jul 2024 09:16:45
I’ve seen Amrabat a lot for Fiorentina including in the flesh. He played exactly the same way for United.
As I said a year ago, an unspectacular signing. Better than McTominay as a DM, but a squad player at best.
Imo we need to sign a DM as a priority, regardless of whether Cas stays.
5.) 13 Jul 2024 09:41:50
Ugarte priority as DM unless we have the money to get the Benfica lad. Then once that is done do we want another in midfield at which point I would be happy with Amrabat as rotation.
Mount next year will be like a new signing for the team.
6.) 13 Jul 2024 09:49:27
Wazza same as you, I see Amrabat as a better player and option in midfield than McT. Selling McT and getting a squad player like Amrabat for small amount would be good business. I think Ugarte will be a United player too.
7.) 13 Jul 2024 10:00:29
Think Ed002 said something about Amrabat was an expensive and complicated loan deal so financials might also be at play here.
Decent squad player though rather sell him and promote Collyer.
8.) 13 Jul 2024 10:14:03
Dont see him as better than free agent Ndidi from Leicester - PL experience if we are talk squad/ europa league.
9.) 13 Jul 2024 11:00:30
I thought he had a great game in the FA cup final, but that was his only great game for us. All his other performances were average at best.
He's a decent squad player, but I don't think we should be committing to buying average players. Not if we want to move on from making the same transfer disasters of the past decade.
Supposedly we could get him for 18-20m, yet there are options like Youssef Fofana available for 25-30m. For me Fofana is a much better player, and nearly 3 years younger. He has the potential to become a first choice player with us, something that Amrabat doesn't. Fofana isn't the only good value option out there, André from Fluminese is supposedly available for a similar fee.
While all signings are a gamble, and they may be no better than Amrabat. There is every chance they would be better, while signing Amrabat just means signing a player we KNOW isn't good enough, which just seems silly.
10.) 13 Jul 2024 21:33:22
Nope. Good attitude, but his first touch gives me the fear.
11.) 14 Jul 2024 07:21:39
Save the cash and buy Ugarte. Massive upgrade.
10 Aug 2023 19:45:24
So Fred and Kovar say goodbye to United tonight, a few more to join them over the coming weeks.
1.) 10 Aug 2023 20:55:52
Shame to see Kovar leave, I thought he looked really promising in pre-season. I wonder if there is a buy back clause.
2.) 10 Aug 2023 20:58:16
An absolutely ruthless, yet long overdue exodus is occurring at OT.
ETH is firmly getting his own way and I for one am delighted. Bailly, McTominay, vdBeek and hopefully Martial to come.
3.) 10 Aug 2023 21:13:18
Kovar is a weird one. I really liked what I’d seen and I’m hugely surprised he didn’t stick around at least as 3rd choice keeper. What do we actually want in a back up keeper….
4.) 10 Aug 2023 21:52:54
Downsie53
I think he set his own tone with how he managed the Ronaldo situation.
Since then, we've all expected him to continue being bullish about what must happen for his vision to be realised, but we've all been rightly dubious because of the significant levels of incompetence we're so used to from all levels.
Finally, we're getting rid of so much that should have been shipped off when it had greater value.
5.) 10 Aug 2023 22:25:28
Kovar will have a sell on fee no doubt. Gutted to see Fred fo especially with the low fee. He always worked his socks off, covering every blade and was good at breaking play down. i'd rather us have sold scott. he was massively under rated by a lot of our fans like the other neville and oshea used to be.
6.) 10 Aug 2023 22:53:44
First option and buy back clause in the kovar deal by the sounds of it. Giving him chance to progress but securing option if he does well.
7.) 10 Aug 2023 23:11:34
Can't see Martial going anywhere with his injury record. Who's going to want to pay him £13m + a transfer fee when they can have him for a whole lot less next year? And since he's unsellable I think ETH will keep him as a decent back up who he hopes will be available to play maybe 10 games this season. Who knows, with his contract expiring, maybe he'll actually be motivated to do something to earn himself a decent new one somewhere else next season.
8.) 10 Aug 2023 23:47:44
Kovar needed to go because he could actually be a decent keeper bit aitting on the bench for 5 years behind Onana is going to ruin his career. Best he goes and plays and if we have put the clauses if he does become what we hope then we bring him back.
I am not a fan of keeping kids around who don't play it doesn't help thwm at all. I do we think we should have a squad small enough to allow us to give kids a chance but that's not easy with a keeper as generally they cam play every match and you csnt give em 30 mins as a sub here and there and starts every now and then.
I also think it helps us if we are a team helping players to do what's best for tbem in terms of reputation amd attractiveness of the club as well.
9.) 11 Aug 2023 11:19:02
I agree Kovar needed to play regular football this season, I just thought a loan deal might have been best. Then the club would still have the option for him to come back and challenge Onana if his loan went well.
I suppose if the club have an option to bring him back though a buy back clause or similar then it makes sense to sell and bring much needed revenue back into the club.
It's a tactic other clubs have used to great effect. Selling some of their best young talents to raise funds for purchases, but inserting buy back options so they can bring those kids back if they progress and reach their potential. It can be better than a loan as the buying club has more of an investment in the player, more reason to invest time in developing the player than they might if it was just a loan. While for the player it gives them a sense of certainty over their immediate future and allows them to focus on their career and their development.
So it can be a good way of raising funds and giving players a clearer development pathway, while keeping some level of control over the future of the player.
10 Jun 2023 06:27:25
SS reporting that United have contacted Min-Jae representatives about signing him. Bid will be made when the release clause of £42m kicks in on 1 July. Let's see what happens in 3 weeks.
1.) 10 Jun 2023 10:37:04
Didn’t one of his representative come out recently and say he wants the United move? Really great business if we can get him. Add a sweeper keeper and we’ll play a high line next year with great play out potential. Hopefully we get a really strategically focused transfer window.
2.) 10 Jun 2023 14:41:09
yep, we should be ready to pounce in about 12 months once the sale of the club is done.
3.) 10 Jun 2023 14:57:35
Don't know whether to laugh or cry at the comment bfbw.
4.) 10 Jun 2023 15:05:43
It would be nice if we could complete a deal without a huge saga starting. KMJ looks a great deal. But i think for most fans it is a lower priority role after the performances of Lindelof and shaw since Jan.
Hopefully it is done easily and shows others our intent to sign even through the sale process.
5.) 10 Jun 2023 16:06:26
No it’s definitely not a lower priority, we need a top class CB to come in and rotate with Varane, Lindelof is option 4 let’s be honest.
6.) 11 Jun 2023 12:32:03
City's CB options are out of this world.
Ake, Stones, Laporte, Dias and Akanji
We need similar standards.
7.) 11 Jun 2023 13:23:59
Lindelof has done a great job this season. There is always a need for rotation and as long as he's happy to be a rotation player then he stays for me.
8.) 11 Jun 2023 16:08:15
What Linelof performances? Everytime he played he made mistakes and just is not good enough. He's better than maguire yes but not by much.
9.) 11 Jun 2023 18:51:10
Ake is average, Laporte too.
Diaz has been world class at times, but can blow a little cold for periods of the season.
I wish we had got Akanji, he looks the business and I think we looked at him.
Stones has looked very good this year, stepping into his new hybrid role between midfield and CB. He has matured under Pep and the coaching team at city, he used to make a lot of mistakes when he first went to city.
If you compare our defenses I don't think Shaw, martinez and varane are much of a drop off. We need a new starting 8, a top class striker and we need better creativity and cohesiveness from our attacking play (whether we achieve that from just adding those 2 players and coaching, or we need to change more) .
10.) 12 Jun 2023 07:40:47
RR recommended Akanji to Utd.
11.) 12 Jun 2023 13:39:57
Pretty sure Ralf Rangnick recommended Akanji, Caicedo and Juilan Alvarez. All could have been bought for less than 40m combined.
12.) 12 Jun 2023 13:40:37
They are a great team and give credit where its due. very difficult feat to achieve.

Quarter of the way through our worst ever EPL. season and we sit four points off third. I
If we get a run going, who knows what is possible this year.
1.) 10 Nov 2024 21:32:20
Was thinking the same earlier. Just off the top of my head both Brighton and West Ham games we should have won but lost both. 6pts from those 2 games and we'd be in 3rd on 21 points.
2.) 11 Nov 2024 06:26:33
Palace game too. wasteful strikers.
3.) 11 Nov 2024 06:48:56

There's the Crystal Palace game aswell, in which Utd should have won.

It's easy to say 'should have won', but those games were ones that would have been easily won has they taken their chances.
Taking chances has been Utds biggest problem.

29 Oct 2024 17:35:06
With our new manager one foot on the plane to Manchester, I ask myself what has he seen in United to take over at this stage of the season.
It could be a rough ride ahead as he gets to grips with his new players and building them in a team without any significant additions till next year will surely test his abilities as a manager.
1.) 29 Oct 2024 18:32:47
He sees one of the biggest clubs in the world with a new team in charge of the club, a huge opportunity to turn an underachieving club into a great one. The squad is pretty good, a lot better than ETH was getting out of it, he is known for bringing young players through and we have 4 or 5 in the academy who will likely be in and around the first team in 2-3 years. We also have the DM that he built his team around at Sporting a couple of years ago so that’s a good start.
2.) 29 Oct 2024 18:47:43
Maybe he's seeing himself as the new Mourinho, having proved himself in Portugal, he now has an opportunity to do so in the biggest league in the world. The new management team will have to give him a bit of time to put the pieces together, to clear out the highly paid non-contributors, and to replace them with those who fit his preferred style. We're pretty much at rock bottom so he has the benefit of us having only one direction to go. So I think he'll have a decent grace period from supporters as well as management. Yes, given the last 12 years it's a big risk, his reputation could be dealt a severe blow like Potter's, but if he's successful he will be set for life. He's clearly a man of great ambition and that's just what we need.
3.) 29 Oct 2024 18:49:48
I think getting guys like kobe, yoro, mount, shaw will help him a lot. Its hard enough taking over a new team new league but a big squad will help him pick players who adapt better than others to what he wants to do.
4.) 29 Oct 2024 18:51:49
LOL. Eric had virtually the Ajax team he built. and every other player he could muster from the Dutch league and I remember someone on here saying how good Eric is at bringing through youngsters! Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here, he is taking over a awful squad, he needs to be a magician to get this lot clicking, strikers who are not strikers of any worth, slow ponderous defenders.
There is an awful lot of work to do, but the plus side is it just not possible to get any worse and can only get better, least the football should be more easy on the eye.
5.) 29 Oct 2024 20:15:56
Not sure that Shaw will be much help to him!
6.) 29 Oct 2024 22:27:22
Our squad is not terrible. Also be fair ETH did bring through Garnacho / Mainoo and Amad into the first team and am sure he has had input into the u21 and u18 teams who are doing well.
7.) 30 Oct 2024 00:01:15
Ah taskestime is Maze isn’t he, maybe just be a little less obvious and you’d get away with it. Erik brought through Mainoo and Garnacho, 2 of the best things he did in his tenure.
The squad isn’t awful, not even close to awful, he’s got decent players in every position, a few injuries that might come back but it’s a decent squad and I’m excited to see what he can get out of them. For the first time in ages I’m looking forward to going to a game.
8.) 30 Oct 2024 03:00:14
Agreed. It’s a half decent squad. Far better than the league position suggests, especially if coached a lot better.
Looking forward to a marked change in playing style and overall application. Obviously need goals so hopefully the guys up front hit their strides.
9.) 30 Oct 2024 04:40:12
Yes half decent gets you between 4-8
Rasmus never ever been scoring sensation in any system just look at his figures! Zirkee the same…
Bought through Garnacho and Mainoo! Seriously, maybe he could have coached Garnacho to put away the amount of chances he gets then! And Mainoo gone backwards this season! And both been in the team up till injury to Mainoo and where that got us!
10.) 30 Oct 2024 04:42:01
Name a player that gets from our squad in to City team, Arsenal team Liverpool team? And then tell me it’s a decent squad! It’s worse squad now then when Ole left!

Mate give it a rest. The constant repetitions is getting boring now.
12.) 30 Oct 2024 12:18:00
He always does this and then he gets banned and created a new profile a few months later.
28 Oct 2024 06:43:49
Just a personal opinion, but I don't believe the board are convinced by Ten Hag and he is just a placeholder this season until they can get their preferred manager in.
As long as the train doesn't come completely off the tracks, they would like to leave him post as long as possible.
1.) 28 Oct 2024 07:07:10
You're probably right but today I've never been abd angry and fed up about the state of the game. Micheal oliver paid by city refs a utd game and gives that on var. Irs so bad you gave to question it. no one can convince me at this present time that that's not pure corruption. Unfortunately, they hate urd that much they think it's funny but we're all suffering. every game it's utd v 12 men. Last week utd won but the ref in that was unbelievably diabolical. I'm so mad it's untrue.
2.) 28 Oct 2024 07:20:46
Grim,
I think that may well be true. No point in replacing the manager for one you don't really want.
However, there is the potential for RVN to step in as interim manager. That depends on whether or not RVN would want to become an Interim manager for the remainder of the season.
I'm sure come the November international break, that things will become clearer.
3.) 28 Oct 2024 07:21:48
How far off the tracks do we have to be Grim before he is sent on his merry way though?
Feels like we derailed last season.
4.) 28 Oct 2024 07:36:09
Eric I think it will be decided this week. Chelsea at the weekend could be the final nail that's all.
5.) 28 Oct 2024 08:58:20
Grim,
How could anyone be possibly convinced with ETH, I don’t think it’s a stretch by any means to suggest the board aren’t convinced by him, if they were it would be absolute madness. I think they have a plan to make us great again by 2028 and making a rash decision now could derail that, cost the club money for limited gain and leave us in the same position again in a few years.
I know people want things immediately but ETH will leave the club, he’s clearly not going to take us to where we want to be and won’t be manager next season, his team selections are baffling, we have a formation that isn’t working but he plays it in every game whilst just moving players around.
Mazraoui has played in 3 different positions in the last week, Ugarte was man of the match on Thursday and then didn’t get a minute yesterday, Rashford has one brilliant half of football this season and was immediately subbed, no wonder the players have no confidence in front of goal, but the club are not panicking (which I think is a good thing) as they have to get the next appointment correct.
The future is actually pretty bright, there are some wonderful players in the youth team and Yoro is a fantastic signing, but the future won’t be with Erik Ten Hag managing them, I just hope the club make the correct decision on who it is.
6.) 28 Oct 2024 09:41:33
I agree, while I think if the right manager wasn't available in the summer sticking with EtH was the best decision. I think it's fairly obvious that the new owners at the very least thought they could upgrade on him, which is why they spoke fairly openly with so many managers over the summer.
I think it was always likely to be a matter of when they sack him rather than will they. It was going to require a pretty substantial turnaround in performances and for the new set up to see developments in key areas that they are looking at for EtH to actually keep his job long term.
As a fan and wanting the club to be successful I was hopeful that we would see that progress. Hopeful that with better support and clearer vision and targets that the manager would be able to deliver that progress.
Unfortunately that isn't looking likely now, certainly not at least in the kind of timeframe that is needed for EtH to ultimately save his job.
Which means the club are back to making a decision about when they replace him.
In the summer there was no candidate available and willing to join who they felt was worth the rigmarole of changing managers. So they stuck with Erik.
If they still isn't a manager who is available and willing to join now then they should stick with their original decision.
None of the key factors that led to that decision has changed, so they shouldn't change that decision.
We also need to consider the cost of sacking EtH now, reportedly 16m. No doubt that figure will drop come the end of the season, especially if certain targets haven't been met.
Severance settlements cannot be amortised, meaning the 16m we would pay EtH to leave is the equivalent of us making an 80m signing on a 5 year deal.
Effectively that's what it will cost us in terms of squad building next summer.
That is a factor the club have to take into consideration. Is the need to sack the manager so great that it is more cost effective to sack him and significantly reduce our spending capacity in the summer, than keep him until the cost is reduced.
Certainly there is an argument that with EtH the chances of top four and UCL football and the money that brings is highly unlikely. Therefore replacing him with someone who could secure that would mitigate the cost of sacking him.
But that is a gamble. A roll of the dice. If the new manager doesn't secure UCL football then you've just increased your losses and hamstrung the club in the summer. Which will obviously have a detrimental effect on the new managers ability to improve the squad and have a positive impact.
So let's do a thought experiment, if Pep was to take over as our manager today with the squad we have, and without being able to make any signings in January (sacking EtH would absolutely put paid to any chance of a January signing) would he be able to guarantee a top four finish?
Maybe, his first season at City wasn't phenomenal and it took time and many signings for Pep to turn City into the machine they are right now.
Would he improve us? Absolutely, enough to get us UCL football from this position? Certainly not guaranteed, and probably still an outside chance. So if arguably the current best manager in the world only has an outside chance of getting UCL qualification, then it's fair to suggest that there probably isn't a manager available and willing to join us right now who is likely to be able to get UCL football.
It's not like we have an amazing squad who are massively underperforming. We all more or less agreed before the season started that we had maybe the 4th or 5th best squad in the league at best. Which means if they performed at their best there was a decent chance of top four assuming not all the squads better than us would play at their best.
However, looking at how this season has started I'd say City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea all have better squads than us and have all started well. While Villa have also started well and have actually been fantastic in the UCL. We'd need to have a near faultless restaurant of the season and require two of those sides to have a significant dip in form to have any chance of top four.
So if UCL football is almost certainly not going to happen this year, and the club will have to deal with the financial implications of that. Then it makes even less sense to sack the manager now and further significantly impact our precarious financial situation.
Ultimately the decision about when to sack EtH will ultimately have the biggest impact on the amount the club can improve the squad next summer.
Sack him sooner and leave the next manager with maybe only a couple of signings and having to try and get more out of this group of players than they have shown themselves capable of. Baring in mind that there will likely be another decent clear out of players next summer with several out of contract and others just getting on (Heaton, Maguire, Lindelof, Evans, Casemiro and Eriksen) . It might mean the club have to keep a few of them as they cannot afford to replace them.
That would likely mean the new manager will be starting next season with a weaker squad than we currently have. Hardly the start the club would want to give the new manager.
Or do the club stick with EtH, limp through the season, sack him for much less at the end of the season, be able to bring in their preferred/ ideal candidate and have the funds to make sure he has a better squad than this current one.
Neither are particularly inspiring options for the short term, this might be one of those situations where as fans we have to take the short term pain and continue to watch our club limp along for the next 6 months, so that we have a chance of getting better next season. Otherwise it could be two seasons of struggle before we have a better squad capable of the kind of improvement we want and need.
7.) 28 Oct 2024 09:56:28
We can’t just leave eth in situe all season though? It could do untold damage. If our preferred choice isn’t available then find a temporary solution. I get not wanting to rush and make another rash decision but keeping him just because, isn’t an option either. Do something to try and get some positivity around the place. 2-3 more months of this and the damage could be irreperable.
8.) 28 Oct 2024 10:55:40
What we need is someone who can steer us in the right direction! Otherwise we start next season off a weaker footing than this one and it’ll be well after 2028 before we win anything other than the championship to get back into the EPL.

Where’s your back four?

I was tempted to go 5-4-1 after Sunday.

Did you see Amorim's face at the Sporting presser, looked like a teenager being asked if he like a girl and was trying to be coy about it.
Looks like a done deal at this stage now that Sporting have confirmed the interest.

Or maybe he believes there are players in those individuals and he can coach them into a team.
Remember he won't be able to add much in January, so he will have to work with this squad for the rest of the year.

Bruno always goes missing when he plays out on the wing.

Proper rumour there MPez, we need more insider gossip like this.
Personally I think a move back to United would have been bad for him. Needs more time to establish himself as United could kill his career at this stage.

I know how Xavi feels, I could do with a year off as well.

Was hoping Amorim could coach these players to perform better, but not holding out too much hope.
Will be interesting too see how long he persists with these players and if he decides to go to the academy and promote very quickly.

Being shown around OT by Jason Leach, top fella, very good match day host.

With the previous manager we all applauded his discipline approach when he first came in, ultimately it didn't work.
Amorim seems to be the kind of manager who players will run through a wall for, let's see how many embrace it.

Haven't we been playing with an informal back three for most of the season already.

Amorim might welcome having someone with knowledge of the players, their mentality, strengths and weaknesses, otherwise it might take a few months to get up to speed.
Did Ten Hag miss a trick by not wanting RR hanging around after he got the job?
