Antony and Sancho gone too. Relief i am sure within the dressing room and fanbase alike. Hopefully a GK and MF come along today.
1.) 01 Sep 2025 11:34:26
Sadly, Sancho will be back again next season, and we’ll be faced with the exact same problem. Better than keeping him here for the next twelve months though.
2.) 01 Sep 2025 11:44:53
It’s the last year of his contract, we have the option to extend a year to try and get some money back, but is it worth it?
3.) 01 Sep 2025 11:46:08
His contract is up next summer, with a club option to extend. Thankfully, this will be the end of the whole silly business with him.
4.) 01 Sep 2025 11:56:38
Apparently, we will extend his contract as part of the deal to loan him out in the hopes of recouping some of our losses next year. I have a feeling it will just end up costing us more when we have to pay half of his wages again the following season when he buggers off on loan again on deadline day.
5.) 01 Sep 2025 12:07:57
This is the best result we could get given they're paying a decent loan fee for the year and we don't have his wages to pay.
The option to trigger a contract extension runs until the end of January 26, by which time we will be able to see if he is pulling trees up. If he's doing great, then we can say to Villa and Snatcho (our pet name from the vile clown) okay well, we could extend of a year and complicated things so how about you pay us a fee now to sign the player permanently, otherwise as he's having a renaissance we will extend for a year and flog him elsewhere.
The important thing is he is gone. And we have 10m float in wages and a few million loan fee. Whilst notnincurring a PSR loss either.
6.) 01 Sep 2025 12:29:52
Whatever happens, him not being at the club this season can only be a good thing. One of our worst ever signings.
7.) 03 Sep 2025 07:40:28
worst player in 50 years. absolute winker.
29 Oct 2024 15:44:12
Guess its confirmed now with 10m being paid off. Great if that's true.
1.) 29 Oct 2024 16:10:19
All he needs to find now, is some centrebacks with a bit of pace because ours are all so slow, like cart horses but hopefully Lenny is quick and adjust to epl, he needs to find a striker or two, because we got zero in that department needs a LWB who can play a dozen games on the trot….
Sell off half a billion pounds worth of crap that ETH bought in
Then just maybe we can build something positive…. Fingers crossed.
2.) 29 Oct 2024 17:25:41
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.
3.) 29 Oct 2024 18:44:55
I am convinced there is better there or at least hoping, then they been showing, surely there must be, the law of averages must say out of all the players Eric added surely some of them must be OK although I have to be honest I not seen much that fills me with confidence, not as if they did not know Eric most of them he coached before, but hardly shows he been coaching Antony for 4 years! And I would virtually say every player digressed under ETH it’s hard to think of a player that’s gone in right direction, possibly Onana looked better this season, but the rest. well.
4.) 29 Oct 2024 22:23:50
There is definitely great potential in our squad not enough to challenge for the title but enough for a really good manager who I stills discipline and tactical structure.
5.) 30 Oct 2024 00:02:57
Maze,
Let’s see how things go, why be negative before he’s even started?
6.) 30 Oct 2024 03:24:25
There are some very good players in this squad who simply need a system that works and coaching to improve.
The right coach will improve this side immensely.
If it is Amorim and he okayed his preferred formation, Dalot and Mazraoui would make excellent wingbacks.
A back three of de Ligt, a ball player like Yoro and Martinez to step into midfield looks strong.
Two midfielders of Mainoo, Cas (who I think would work well in this formation) and Ugarte feels strong, and any of the front three would fit this.
No doubt we need a decent lwb, and another midfielder.
I’m getting hopeful - it’s the hope that kills you.
7.) 30 Oct 2024 06:44:32
Hoping we buy Alphonso Davies. I think shaw is a really good player when fit but unfortunately he seems to be struggling with injuries and its not going to get easier given his age. He would be a great back up option for martinez as a back 3 or left wingback considering you need rotation and he can't play 50 games a season.
Or maybe Amas and also the kid at benfica who we have a buy back clause are the long term solutions as wingbacks. We still will need a left footed player who can play as a cb as a back up for martinez. Shaw ticks the box and did very well playing there when martinez was injured.
8.) 30 Oct 2024 08:48:44
Ahmad H,
I think Davies will end up at RM. He would be a brilliant free transfer.
9.) 30 Oct 2024 19:57:15
Have to agree, better coaching will improve us, but interested to know who the VERY good players in this squad are?
10.) 31 Oct 2024 01:26:51
De Ligt, Martinez, Yoro, Ugarte, Mainoo, Garnacho, Bruno, Hojlund, all have shown they can be very good, you could even include Rashford who can be very very good but also very very bad. Time will tell if Amorim can get these players playing at their best but if he does then we will be fine.
11.) 31 Oct 2024 15:17:30
Hope your right, but imo
Deligt. far too slow for epl
Martinez …very rash and gone backwards since injury
Yoro…who knows he not played a epl game yet, so how on earth do you know?
Mainoo…player in there for sure but stagnated under ETH
Garnacho…. player in there but very wasteful
Bruno…yes 100% if he not switched to every position going…and not captain!
Hojlund…not for me, nowhere near good enough to lead the line
Rashford…Yes when he wants and clearly did not want under ETH.
12.) 02 Nov 2024 09:51:52
Mainoo stagnated under EtH ???
Surely you're trolling?
He didn't start playing for us until January, how on earth are you saying a 19 year old with less than half a season of senior football under his belt has "stagnated"?
As for the rest, MdL has looked good, he's not the fastest, but he's not slow. His pace is around average for a CB. I was one of the more skeptical fans when he signed, but so far I haven't seen anything that justified my skepticism.
Martinez hasn't gone backwards, he just hasn't got up to full speed after having a bad injury, then having a set back during recovery, then picking up a new injury shortly after coming back from the original injury.
Yoro is a highly rated player, he looked good during pre-season. Granted that was only pre-season. He was also excellent in Ligue 1 last season.
Garnacho has great potential and is currently our most consistent goal contributor this season with 5 goals and 4 assists. Yes he can be wasteful, pretty much all 19 year old forwards are. They are still learning.
Bruno and Rashford it's just not up for debate, over the past 5 years they have not only been our most consistent attacking players. But their numbers put them amongst the top ten players in the league over that time.
I'm not sure what you expect from Højlund. He's had one season where we were injury riddled and awful, hardly creating any chances. He was in and out of the team due to his own injuries and was trying to settle in a new country and league. Despite that his chances conversation rate was 56%. For context elite strikers such as Kane typically have a chance conversation rate of around 25% (Kane's last season was 26%) . The reason he didn't score more goals was that he was averaging 1.1 shots per game, Kane on the other hand was averaging 4.6 shots per game last season.
It's unlikely that he'd be able to, but if he maintained that conversation rate and was being provided with 4+ chances a game then he'd be scoring twice as many goals as Kane. If his conversation rate dropped by HALF and he was being provided with 4 chances a game then he'd be matching Kane's scoring levels.
Yet you don't think there's a player there. Sure he's 21 years old and his form will dip and peak over the next few seasons. But if we can start regularly creating 3-4 good chances a game for him then we potentially have one of the best young forwards in Europe in our squad.
09 Jun 2023 20:06:26
American Friday will close in another few hours and with that the supposed "qatari deadline". I think its safe to say that Jim "Rat" Glazer has successfully seduced the other Glazers and will end up screwing Manchester United.
1.) 10 Jun 2023 01:55:38
Chin up mate. 2 of the top 3 teams in the world for sale at the same time “unprecedented “ overpriced both of us so not lot of takers.
2.) 10 Jun 2023 05:35:31
Reports said that the self imposed deadline was removed and the deal will stay on the table.
The truth is this process has gone on far too long and needs to be concluded for the sake of the club.
Unfortunately when have the Glazers ever done anything for the sake of the club. That is why any deal needs to see the back of them immediately or in the extreme short term.
3.) 10 Jun 2023 09:42:11
Would be a good deal if Ratcliffe can get it over the line, fingers crossed. Mainly just to see the meltdown from people who have absolutely no idea.
4.) 10 Jun 2023 15:25:46
Hey look whos back. GtS weren't you the one who got banned??. Meltdown was it? Create your own page if you have an allergy reading what other posters feel like writing and obviously you are a know it all.
5.) 10 Jun 2023 15:59:48
GtS
What makes you think the Rats deal is a good one? What makes you think continued Glazer involvement is good?
Do you care about the future of the club?
6.) 13 Jun 2023 06:12:25
Redman
What makes you think the future of the club is in better hands if sheikh Jasem takes over compared to SJR. Plenty of clubs with foreign owners in the PL who have made a mess of things.
The future of the club will depend on who is the most capable in terms of putting a plan together and a structure to support it imo.
If you go by the PSG example, They have spend money like drunk sailors and won nothing but the French league and internally the club is a mess so that's the other side of the coin.
When the sale goes through the glazers will have very little say going forward and a minority investor.
30 Aug 2022 20:31:42
Hey Ed002, if you are around- With Dubravka almost confirmed, do you think this is our business done or are we still looking to get more players in in the remaining 2 days? I won't ask you for details of who or where or how much, a simple yes or no would suffice. Thanks for all the updates.
{Ed002's Note - I have answered this.}
30 May 2022 15:28:32
Hi Ed002, have Man Utd made any contact for Neves? I remember you said that we would be interested but with all the news about DeJong etc, Neves has gone missing. Any update? Thanks!
{Ed002's Note - Ruben Neves (DM/CM) Wolves would look to get as close to €50M as they can should circumstances dictate Neves is sold, and they may be more accepting of that now. Mr Mourinho is a huge fan and has tried to take him to three different clubs in the past - and he would, I am sure be interested in taking him to Roma but their focus right now is elsewhere. He has always been seen as an option to replace Matic at Manchester United, but they have other priorities to deal with first and preferred options - although Wolves might see an offer. His agent has been actively offering him around and has spoken with Juventus who are looking to offload players but none that I would expect Wolves to be interested in. The Spurs coach would like him as an upgrade to Sissoko (who has now left) and Ndombele but it is likely both would need to leave as they have added another addition in midfield as well - if Winks were sold an offer is possible.. Chelsea have a preference for another player. Arsenal have been very interested but could be out of the picture if they do not achieve Champions League football. The player wants to move to Barcelona, but it would need players in exchange or them to remove wages from the accounts - but they should not be ruled out - and I expect they may push.}
1.) 30 May 2022 15:45:20
Thank you Ed002. Appreciate the detailed information.
2.) 30 May 2022 18:39:34
Ed, would De Jong to United enable Barcelona to move for Neves?
{Ed002's Note - Sure but they are completely unrelated.}
3.) 31 May 2022 14:22:27
Seems like De Jong is determined to stay in Catalonia.
4.) 02 Jun 2022 09:54:02
I would take neves over de jong and saves us from going after a player who does not want to move. I also think neves is proven pl player and not sure how de jong will handle the pace of the pl and physicality. Might turn out to be another tulip.

Manchester United in the Premier League 25/ 26
Expected goals - 1st
Shots on target - 1st
Counter attacks - 1st
Touches in box - 2nd
Positional attacks- 3rd
Pressing (PPDA) - 3rd
Yet some say they don't see progress. Were we supposed to win the premier league in Oct? I fully support what Ratcliffe has said about the task at hand and how it will take time.
Hopefully we see a full takeover soon, fingers crossed.
1.) 09 Oct 2025 17:59:47
Ua there is obvious improvement in our play not yet leading to enough points on the board.
There is probably some damming stats on conversion of chances or defensive lapses. So there is 2 sides to every coin. Time and patience and hopefully our play will get more points sooner rather than later.
Remember its fine lines we 2 spot kicks missed from being 4th. Liverpool scored 5 winners this season in 85th min and after. You do this when your confidence is high and in the habit. Whereby if you are in our habits you tend to lose late goals. Its a hard cycle to break.
We are inching our way forward not striding. The striding will come i hope.
Still a very unbalanced squad.
New keeper new front 3. Takes a little time to gel.
The team workrate stats would make interesting reading too. For 1st time in years they are working hard as a team trying to execute their plan. Not great at times but i think there is a lot to look forward to.
2.) 09 Oct 2025 18:39:22
Considering who we have played during these first 7 games as well puts our points in to much needed context.
Arsenal, Fulham, Burnley, City, Chelsea, Brentford and Sunderland. We've played 3 of last season's top four in our first 7 games. With our next game being against the only other top four team that we haven't played yet.
After we play Liverpool it will be 50% of our first 8 games will have been against last season's top four.
No team in the league has had as tough a fixture list as we have.
We've played those teams with less than ideal circumstances, our keeper situation wasn't able to get sorted until late in the window meaning our new keeper only made his debut in our last game.
We had a similar issue with Sesko, not being able to join until after pre-season, then subsequently not being fully settled and up to speed until the last couple of weeks.
We've had a few injuries as well, which given the nature of our squad will always disproportionately impact us compared to other more settled sides.
All things considered we are probably on about par with where most people would have reasonably expected. Most would have expected loses to Arsenal, City and Chelsea, with wins against Burnley, Sunderland and Fulham and a draw against Brentford (always a tricky team) . Giving us 10 points, which is what we have, the difference is that we beat Chelsea, lost to Brentford and drew with Fulham.
We are actually exactly where we probably should be, we just got here slightly differently to what most of us expected.
3.) 10 Oct 2025 10:56:44
Yes, everything is awesome, we are amazing.
4.) 10 Oct 2025 11:17:55
The only stat that matters is winning games and picking up trophies.
Overall we have improved, there have been some lapses, which rightly spooked the supporters, we have watched such dross at times it is understandable.
What has been good is SJR has said effectively he is here to stay, even if it remains bumpy for a while. I think we all want Amorim to succeed, even though sometimes we get frustrated.
5.) 10 Oct 2025 11:35:55
And sitting 10th with a -2 goal difference. it's great!
6.) 10 Oct 2025 12:05:48
Sim01975 you obviously are discounting the 2 missed penalties. Score them and you are sitting 4th. Does that sound better?
7.) 10 Oct 2025 14:28:52
UA
if this if that never gets you anywhere. Reality bis we have been two promoted teams a chelsea team that had their goalie sent off in the 5ht minute and we had to pray for the final whistle in that game and hanging on.
Whether its players/ system/ coaching this team will concede goals against better teams and bang average offensively against better teams in the pl. we do create more but then again we spent 200 million on 3 front men with 2 pl proven.
I thought we would beat sunderland and I also said we will get our ass handed to us at anfield. He might be gone by the next international break as too many games now coming that look like we will crumble.

14.) 11 Oct 2025 08:35:24
shappy
You make me laugh bud. we are stuck to 16 to 11 for a year now with Amorim. His record is the worst of any manger for last 35/ 40 years. This is not just slightly underperforming, this is a historic bad for a club like united.
Throwing out stats to tell people hey we are really not that bad just does not cut it. Start with winning games on a consistent basis and stop losing so often to average teams, that will help people change their mind.
Anything less is whatever imo no matter how likeable the guy is.
15.) 11 Oct 2025 10:08:59
Ahmad, it's a process. For the first time in over a decade we have a structure in place to actually support the manager. Yet fans still want to flip flop and chuck the baby out with the bathwater the moment things don't go the way they want.
We are actually for the first time rebuilding this squad. We haven't ever done a proper rebuild, we've just signed a couple of fancy expensive plasters to stick over the gapping wound and hoped that would fix everything. It didn't, in fact it only allowed everything to fester and get worse.
Before you can rebuild you have to knockdown what already exists, that often means taking a backwards step first. That was what happened last season. The new manager kicked out a load of players who were causing problems in January, and again over the summer, the club actually allowed the manager the freedom to do that and backed him. We are in the process of bringing in the new players we need, but the squad was such mishmash that we were never going to be able to fix everything in one summer and therefore there will be holes in the squad that just cannot be covered adequately and that will impact both performances and results.
We need at least two new midfielders, we need first choice LCB, we need another wingback all for the first 11. We also need a better back up/ competition keeper, another midfielder and striker for squad depth, possibly another CB for squad depth as well.
That's four new players for the first 11, and another four to give us adequate squad depth to avoid a big drop in performances when we are forced to rotate.
When you still need that many players of course there will be fluctuations in performances and results.
Yet this season we have about par for points for what we could have reasonably expected before the season kicked off. We actually have more points this season than we did at this point last season despite the harder fixture list. We also have more points this season when compared to the corresponding fixtures from last season.
Which highlights clear progress. There are also a whole bunch of stats that highlight that we are playing much better than many give us credit for.
All we can ask is for progress, unfortunately progress isn't linear. Sometimes it's small steps forward, other times it'll be big leaps forward.
Let's just do our job and support the club, the team and the manager. Maybe then we might actually be able to climb out of this lethargy.
06 Oct 2025 19:21:08
Hey ed033 - just for some fun can we get a poll going?
Will Ruben Amorim's Manchester United managerial reign outlast Maze's latest Username?

Interesting to see 5 NO's. Does that mean there are 5 usernames?

It did, for all those who voted yes, looks like he’s back with another.
3.) 09 Oct 2025 00:01:19
Why do guys dig out Maze or German or whoever goes against top red narratives?
I respect their contrary views, it gives me something to think about and people engage with their perspective. I don’t have to agree with them, yes it can be troll like but it’s the internet, I expect nothing else.
People talk all kinds of rubbish, myself included and it makes the page better for it. Honestly it comes across petty and people can’t take an alternative perspective.
04 Oct 2025 19:30:28
So we are 6 points off the top of the table having played City, Chelsea and Arsenal in the first 7 games. Certainly a little perspective would be good.
1.) 04 Oct 2025 19:54:31
It means nothing in October.
2.) 04 Oct 2025 21:16:26
Even after that performance, you can't muster an ounce of positivity Kurtis. Wow.
There were lots of positives, but you just stay in your negative world.
I imagine even if we get a point or a win against Liverpool, you will still be a neggy nellie.
3.) 05 Oct 2025 00:23:22
Calm down, Jimbob — it’s got absolutely nothing to do with negativity or the performance. Two of the three mentioned fixtures we lost?
We’re six points off the top of the table. And guess what? We’re not even in a European spot right now. Why isn’t that being mentioned? Because it’s irrelevant. Why? Because it means nothing — it’s only October.
4.) 05 Oct 2025 05:41:09
But last week everyone was lambasting Amorim because we were lingering a few points off the bottom zone.
That is precisely the point.
I always look for the positives in situations, others go for the negatives, I guess that is life.
5.) 05 Oct 2025 07:25:46
I mean we’re also 6 points off the relegation zone too ?.
03 Oct 2025 18:35:43
8 and sometimes 9 out of the 11 are the same players that were playing the 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 last season and season prior to that.
Do people have short term memories here? I can understand the frustration with the results and i am as frustrated as everyone here but how people want him sacked because of the formation is beyond me. Atleast he has the balls to stick to his preferred system/ formation unlike several on here who flip every 6 months wanting the manager sacked. Just get the manager sacked for a couple of good results and then rinse repeat after 6 months. Suffer now to have a future or keep repeating the cycle.
1.) 03 Oct 2025 18:59:32
We have replaced the forwards but are still struggling to score, not sure I can understand why that is happening.
Cunha is doing his best Garnacho impressions and not passing, Mbeumo has been brilliant, Sesko is he best running at goal, knocking in crosses, how should we be playing to get the best out of him.
I think we can all agree UA that Bruno in the pivot doesn’t work, he needs to play up front where he can be most effective.
2.) 03 Oct 2025 19:46:06
The season before that… we won the FA cup. We’ve just been knocked out the carabou at the first hurdle.
It’s not the formation or system. It’s his total inability to get this team to be competitive. I’m not talking competitive in a title race, I’m talking competitive in a match.
3.) 03 Oct 2025 20:04:42
The way some people post on here, you’d think fans were being “toxic” just for not wanting to keep our worst manager since Ferguson — as if we actually enjoy watching us get beat week after week.
It’s laughable. Wanting standards, demanding improvement, and calling things as they are isn’t toxic — it’s what supporters should do.
Some fans don’t have the stomach to call a spoon a spoon — and honestly, it’s time someone did.
Amorim has had nearly 12 months now with this squad, and still there’s no clear improvement in players. The talk is always about some mystical “system, ” but 3-4-2-1 is just a formation — not a style. What is our system? What is our identity? Because in every match I watch, players seem unsure of what to do in many phases — that’s down to coaching and structure, not just “execution. ”
I reject the “he doesn’t have the right players” line. These are all Premier League players, many with high-level experience. After a year under his methods, they should be better, more flexible, more tactically aware. If not, that points squarely at coaching.
And while people love to quote “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results” when it comes to sacking managers, has anyone stopped to consider that it applies just as much to Amorim? He keeps persisting with the same approach, the same “system, ” and the same patterns of failure — expecting it to suddenly click. At what point do we admit that the method itself might be the problem?
4.) 04 Oct 2025 00:26:54
The can lead horses to water Kurtis.
Some of these players are genuinely incapable of player ANY system. They have proven this time and time again for several managers.
It baffles me that people do not see this and continue to throw countless . managers under the bus.
5.) 04 Oct 2025 05:29:57
jimbo
why are these so called useless players seem to excel/ do very well when they leave the place and no one calls them the names we do. the manager is poor mate, you cannot defend a guy who has amassed 1 point a game from 34 league games. ridiculous stuff. he is just a bad hire and a poor manager.
I posted earlier we can sell 10 more and buy 10 more under this guy and we will achieve nothing. No decent manager does not adapt. This guy just does not know how to adapt or what to do when his system is not working. Its always the other managers making the right moves.
6.) 04 Oct 2025 07:29:48
Great post Kurtis. We are all exhausted with the revolving door of Managers, but RA's record is shocking, farv far worse than any of us could have imagined. I
It's all a bit odd. We have McT becoming player of the year in Italy, Hojlund now scoring, Antony doing really well in Spain, and even Rashford looks like he has woken up. There is clearly something deeply wrong at United, I'm lost trying to figure out what it is.

8.) 04 Oct 2025 11:01:23
The man picks Maguire and Shaw instead of Yoro and Heaven, the man then makes defensive substitutions when we are losing. The man is incompetent and if he stays, we will never improve. Every player that has left is doing much better, so it is safe to assume, Amorim is the destroyer of talent. He needs to be pushed out.
22 Sep 2025 13:06:53
Whats going on with Amad? Decided to be selfish and go the Garnacho way, has he? He has been poor in the games he has played in so far this season.

I don't think he's been selfish but maybe has lost a bit of confidence.
I didn't think he looked bad exactly in the Chelsea game, but rather he had hardly any chances to affect the game.
When he gets a regular run of games in the same position, rwb it seems, he should gain a bit of his form back.
He also always works hard so i think selfish is not a good way to describe him.

What's he done?
3.) 22 Sep 2025 18:02:03
He isn't a RWB and the 10s we have are better than he is currently.
He may in time get moved on!

RA appears to have same knack at upsetting players like ETH did…. still least he covers up his own shortcomings as a coach that way.
5.) 22 Sep 2025 18:49:43
I think when he's played at RWB he often now finds Mbeumo in the spaces he'd normally look to play in.
They are both smart players and I'm sure they'll figure it out, it will just take a little time.
While in the last two games he has been played as the left No.10 which isn't really his best position. Certainly not one he's played much before.

Exactly what Shappy said. It’ll settle down and he’ll get used to that position. It’s either him or Dalot….

Lots of players still finding their feet in either new positions or moving around. Amad is still young and probably just having a developmental phase having to understand what is expected rather than his natural game. Whether he eventually ends up as the RWB or back as a rotational 10 will be interesting as the season develops.
With Mazroui back I think he will stay in the team as he offers a good attack/ defensive balance and is intelligent to understand what Amorim wants. Liklely allows Dorgu to push higher up on the other side.

Over rated and gash. Gets high praise because he can control and football. Never does anything for me. 5 years time he will be at necaxa in Brazil.
9.) 23 Sep 2025 09:17:35
Or in Brazil*.

I’ve never understood the mentality that some players “can only play one position. ” With the amount of time spent training and the salaries involved, you’d expect a certain level of adaptability and willingness to learn new roles—just like in any other high-paying profession.
If I were earning £100k a week at my company, I’d be expected to know the business inside out, maybe even be the CEO. To me, saying you can only play one position is just an easy excuse for poor performances. With the resources and support available at top clubs, retraining and adapting should be part of the job.

Exactly Kurtis. So maybe he just isn't good enough.
12.) 23 Sep 2025 19:55:55
He’s clearly a good footballer, works hard but often his final ball and decision making is lacking and he struggles with consistency. I’m not sure he will make it at United long term but he’s certainly not ‘gash’ and he works hard, nothing like Garnacho imo.
13.) 24 Sep 2025 03:25:44
He was great up until his injury earlier this year, that seemed to knock his momentum, but signs against Chelsea it was beginning to return.
14.) 24 Sep 2025 08:57:22
I'll just add that he was one of our best players last season (not a huge achievement I know), and his best performances came from RWB. Such as his hat trick against Southampton.

What am i missing?

Lucky for you guys that you weren't born during the Fergie era else you would have burned the man alive for kicking Beckham in the head in front of the team. Garnacho has a lot of talent but the attitude that will put Sancho to shame. Just because you guys don't approve of Amorim doesn't mean you want the worst for the club. Garnacho just needs to go.

If they don't sell now, there's nobody coming back in with an increased offer surely. Protests aren't working i guess.

Hahaha ahmad your obsession with Antony borders on crazy. It almost rivals the obsession i had with Rashford a couple of seasons ago. Are you actually comparing Diallos season to Antony? What league was Diallo playing in do you have the slightest idea? there's a reason he was sent out on loan and not kept in the first team.
Antony had a decent season, better than any of the other players who were tried on the right wing, including rashford. You need to understand that Antony is a young man in a new country and new league. Give him time to adjust. Do you know what de bruyne stats when he first came to england? Is he a bad player.
I will tell you the same thing that several posters told me when i was trashing Rashford week after week. YOU NEED TO CHILL.
24 Jun 2023 21:36:46
If we are in for him, certainly he is an option on Casemiro.

Sim01975 you obviously are discounting the 2 missed penalties. Score them and you are sitting 4th. Does that sound better?

Stiller.

One question - which system suits the players that we have? If anything did, it wouldn't be 12 years since the last PL trophy.
20 Sep 2025 19:37:34
Certainly didn't age well this.
04 Sep 2025 15:41:03
Surprised that Nani isn't included.
