Park? Fergie will throw his shoes at you for making this comment...

Giggs over Bruno...Giggs was just too intelligent and his deliveries were most times spot on...

Tevez over Rashford for me sha.

E be like say this people no even watch that 2008 team well. For me nobody in this current team gets into that first XI.
Giggs and Scholes are better than Bruno and Pogba.
Tevez is better than all our attackers.

In this our current squad only Rashford, Pogba, DDG, Bruno and Shaw will make the bench.

There are still JSpark and Fletcher still waiting oo

eph12:
This Bruno won't get in ahead of Scholes. Scholes was a midfield controller which suited that style we played back then. Most of our attacks were from the wings.

Bruno is not Scholes level na. Schole is clearly better. Leyqute was like the 2008 scholes is already old and not at his peak

raumdeuter:
Gary Neville is the weak link

Gary Neville is one of the best right backs in EPL history. Are you sure you watched Neville in his peak years?

Expert17:
De gea of 17/18 cant start ahead of 07/08 ànd 08/09 VDS.

Please stop this comparison

Anybody that made that staement is just not aware of who VDS was.

Illimitable:
De Gea of 17/18 was better than any goalkeeper United ever had in their history.

VDS can never win a golden glove with a defence unit consisting of Valencia, Jones, Smalling and Young.

VDS had the best defensive pair in Europe for 2 seasons at least.

Blasphemy. VDS is better than prime DDG and it is not even a debate.

raumdeuter:
I disagree. Scholes is the best English player since Paul Gascoigne

Paul scholeso of 2008, it is debatable sha. If its prime Paul Scholes, Bruno is no where near

Leyqute:
LooL.

What I meant was that Bruno has the best chance of getting into the starting lineup out of all the players we currently have.

Having said that, I think you’re viewing Scholes through blue tinted glasses.

In 2008, Scholes was 34 years o. His influence in the team was on the decline already although he does chip in good performances.

Assess him based on the form that he was in at that time, not his whole career.

Surely Bruno ahead of 2008 Scholes sha.

Leyqute:
I think Bruno has the best chance of getting in the starting XI. Rashford will at least make the bench (for Nani) and Shaw can also make the bench.

Don’t think Pogba will fit in, despite his skill and quality. Those midfielders, apart from having quality on the ball, work hard- especially without the ball. And when you throw in a slow and immobile player in their midst, it kills their rhythm and creates holes that opponents can exploit. If Pogba can match their energy his chances will improve.

De Gea can also make the bench.
Martial, no.
McTom, no.
Fred, mba.
Maguire, heck no.
Lindelof, lol.
AWB, *after a pause* nah.
The current Greenwood will be a squad player at least.

Lol. For me Bruno will only make the bench ahead of Fletcher. I dont see who he replaces there, he is competing with Rooney and Scholes in that XI, for me both are a notch higher than him.
For me Pogba doesn't get in either but good for the bench ahead of Anderson.
DDG bench.
Maguire might make the bench as he is a more natural CB than Brown and Oshea.
Martial will not make that bench ahead of Saha.
Fred lol. Lindelof lol.
For me AWB will not make the bench. Brown and Oshea are better than him in my books.
Greenwood will bee a squad member.
Rashford bench ahead of Nani (debatable though).

For me the combined team will be that that starting XI remain the same.

Subs: DDG, Bruno, JSPark, Pogba, Oshea, Brown, Maguire, Saha, Fletcher, Rashford/Nani.

This line up

Leyqute:
What year are we talking about ?

This was the 2007-2009 squad that won 3 straight EPL titles and made 2 UCL finals winning 1

Wbo among the current team starts for this team? Or can make the bench

SUBs: J.S park, Fletcher, Brown, Nani, Anderson, O'shea, Kuzcsaks and Silvestre.

Registered February 22, 2021...What's your recognized moniker here? I want to be sure if it's really worth it...

You know who it is why wasting your time. Ignore such these monikers they are bot

patrickmuf:
Some folks are just slow, you spend time in someone's post history lifting his previous takes on issues without proper reference to the co text for which he held such position just in a bid to win an argument...SMH!

As for Ole, he is definitely out of his depths...Lanpard did more for Chelsea but when it was obvious he was headed for the rocks, he was quickly relieved of his duty but here, people won't stop defending Ole because he is a club legend...There's Ole 'the baby faced Assasin' and Ole, the manager, his Dan boys should know those of us criticizing him still adore him as a legend but as manager, he is simply clueless...

A seriuos club would gave sacked ole since

KingAlabi:
I said personally I don't want lingard back, I didn't say he won't come back and prove doubters like me wrong, or did I?

You gave an instance of fa cup squad that played arsenal, Ole isn't a good enough manager for United, I have said this many times na, on that fa cup squad, should I drop the one he used to beat PSG in Paris?.

While we missed a number of our key players. The team we used against PSG were not farmers.
DDG --- best GK at that time in the league.
Shaw. --- £30m our player of the season that year.
Bailly -- £30m have played Europa semis with Villareal and won it with us.
Smalling -- EPL winner, Already experienced in UCL.
Lindelof--- 30m, experienced already in UCl.
Fred ---- already experienced in UCL. £55m.
Perriera.
Mctominay.
Rashford.
Young already experienced
Lukaku. £75m- elite striker.

Only Rashford, Perriera and Mctoms i can say are really young and inexperienced.

patrickmuf:
Na why most folks no dey like drop their opinions here for fear that it will be dug out...I am certain if you dig deeper, you'd have found people who had a go at Rooney after a bad game but does it really mean he was a bad player? He'll no!

You guys just cling on to anything in a bid to win an argument...I am not a fan of Lingard but you have to admit he is an option as a squad player just the same way we had the likes of Oshea, Brown and others when Fergie was here...

There’s a match against Arsenal that we won 2 vs 0, I think it was an FA Cup game, go and look at the starting elven again and you'll understand what it really means to have a competent manager...

Dont mind them. They just go somewhere and mindlessly lift a comment in isolation for banter. Honestly I thought Alabi has at least a decent understanding until this morning.
For example, I once made a statement about me not " Maybe" noticing what Kroos does in the teams he played, i even said he could be very good, just that i did not notice, one brain dead urchin went and lift it to mean i said Kroos is a poor player.

For Alabi and his olesexual crew members, Ole must have 22 world class players to win a decent match. Fergie won things with players like Gibson, Cleverly, Richardson, Buttner etc activley being involved at the thick of things. Arsenal invincibles had Jeffers, Aladiere, Cygan etc

KingAlabi:
Honestly I disagree with the bolded, it not my business though.

Carry on.

Like i said if you cant understand simple English, my brother it's none of my business

KingAlabi:
Banters aside, I don't want lingard back, he can go ahead and win the UCL at westham, I don't care.

[/b]Advice bro, try dey on one course, I won't be surprised if in the nearest future you say Bruno is useless[b].

My views are consistent. If you cant comprehend simple English language or the word "Context" then i cant help you or one Brain dead Idio.t that has been stalking me.

KingAlabi:
Banters aside, I don't want lingard back, he can go ahead and win the UCL at westham, I don't care.

Advice bro, try dey on one course, I won't be surprised if in the nearest future you say Bruno is useless.

I didnt say Lingard is elite or world class. My point is under Ole he looked like a league 2 player

Oasis007:


He's becoming Trevor013 by the way.

Lol. No Alabi can be annoying at times but Trevor is a plain Lunatic.

KingAlabi:
So where will lingard play in our current starting lineup?

If he won't play, when he went out for loan, wasn't it playing time [/b]he was looking for ?

[b]Again you are fast becoming an expert, I won't be surprised if you two were the same persons.

Lingard mustn't start every game, no player should, Lingard can play any where across the foward line bar CF. His west ham loan has open our eyes that he is not as bad as Ole made him look.


Lol. For the bolded. May be our views match on Ole, as its very easy to notice, how people like you cant see that is mind blowing

KingAlabi:
Lingard is a what again?

An average midfield player who can be useful at times. Ole must not have 22 prime Maradona or Zico of Brazil type of players before he can play decent football.

Stop making it look like Fergie didn't win tthings with Butner, Cleverly, Welbeck and Gibson. Oshea and Brown were starting games for fergie at the peak of our powers. The pep you are mentioning is playing Zinchenko regularly, he won the league with Delph as first choice LB, Arsenal invincibles had Jeremy Aladiere and Paschal Cygan starting games, even Francis Jeffers get games. Just admit that your Ole is out of his depth

Oasis007:
Alabi needs a Break. He's so exhausted of words to defending Ole, thus he's beginning to throw words recklessly. I do wonder if it's the same Thread Ole is being racially abused?!

Lol. The dude has ran out of lines to defend Ole. He is mow really confused, he is just grasping at straws

KingAlabi:
Please how good is lingard ?

He is sure better than Bruno, rashford and martial.
Lingard is a good player no doubt, but he is not a player for United quality, can lingard make it into Pep's squad?

We deserve lingard Las Las.
Na you type go see Fred for soton, take say ole misused him.

Na wa!!!!

We have those quality players but your Ole cant achieve anything decent with them. Yet west ham wuth him as key players are not far away from us My point was never if Lingard was world class, we all know he is not elite.

KingAlabi:
We deserve lingard Las Las, I understand your take.

Ogbeni stop it. West ham is competing aggressively for UCL with Lingard as key player same with us. He was in our first 11 when finished 2nd
Lingard was a first XI for England they reached WC semis.
Lingard scored in 3 cup finals for us as we actually won a trophy.

Lingard is not as bad as we all thought, thanks to the clueless Ole. He now has a new lease of life.

KingAlabi:
I no get strength for shalaye bros.
Just stop being an ole-racist.

Ogbeni you dont have anything to say. You suck Ole's balls and think all of us are deluded like you

KingAlabi:
First paragraph.

But you said we are reducing standards for ole now, was haaland at 17 playing in the champions league?, Greenwood with his enormous talent would have become a haaland under pep, ole is useless.


Second paragraph.

The same lingard under mou and gaal?
Na wa!!!
If the screenshot doesn't tell you anything, nothing will !!

This guy you be akpamu walahi, you gleefully removed lingard's goals in other competitions to suit your narrative. Although he scored the winning goal in 2016 FA Cup final, when he just came back from loan/long injury Lingards breakout season was with Mourinho in 2016/17 he scored 6 goals 3 assist, the following season 17/18 he scored 13g plus 6 assists, in 18/19 he has 6 goals 2 assist of those 5 of those goals were score during Mourinho and the season was not even half yet. He scored just 1 under Ole the rest of the season. Last season was historic for Lingard.

How did Lingard able to get into the England NT first XI that made world cup semifinals if he wasnt outstanding? You made it look like lingard was a flop Pre-Ole. The same Lingard have notched up 7 goals already within less than half a season at Westham. This Westham Lingard was what Mourinho had. Ole came in and killed him. Defend Ole all you want but dont take us all for fools

LostMyZeal:
Very very useless coach with badges in Inshallah coaching...I concur

Send 11 players he thinks are in form or are good and twll them to enjoy themselves

NinjaMetahuman:
in ole's defense (as ole's advocate)
Baba ferguson didn't win spoon either until after 3 years

Give ole 3 more years contract and watch him win treble next 3 seasons


In ole we trust.

Lol. I know you are bieng sarcastic. But fergie picked a relegation threatened team plus a man united team that has not won anything of note for decades

KingAlabi:
If I should turn this narrative around, you will clearly see how stvpid you sound here.

No offense

Lol. Turn the narrative my nwanne.

KingAlabi:
I remember vividly I said his best season, not what a striker supposed to call a best season.
Normally player go on to perform better, am I right?

Stop being a racist bro, just anything to drag ole's name in, I guess greenwood best season(last season) is also standard lowering after all haaland at the same age outdid him.

Na wa!!!

Haaland have played 2. Champions league seasons under his belt and have been in the first team of previous clubs for years. Greenwood barely graduated from U-23 properly mid last season. Your comparison is way off.

My point is Ole is a dire manager and does not have the required credentials to suceed in any EPL team let alone a big club. Who knows these players might blossom elsewhere or with a more accomplished manager. Look at Lingard at west ham. He lost his way once ole came and suddenly became unplayable at west ham, the truth is Lingard is not bad as painted but not world class, so he doesn't have the ability to dig Ole out consistently enough like Pogba, Bruno, Rashford anh Shaw for example.

KingAlabi:
This same martial that hit his best season last season with these same defenders, midfielders and tactics-less coach.
Oga martial has been useless.

Even in his best season, 23 goals in all competitions for a lone Man United striker is poor. Van Nistelrooy hits 30+ plus regularly occasional 40+ every season. The 2 seasons Rooney played as the main striker he hit 30+ in each of those seasons.
Even last seasons 23 goals was rubbish, that's to tell you have standards have dip since Ole came. Ibra and Lukaku hit 27 each at first season, Ibra's season ended by March. Lukaku was labelled not good enough

Honestly I am beginning to make a case for Martial. Yes he look lazy but. When you have an atrocious midfield behind you and Maguire/Lindelof treating the ball like gongoni. Added with a tactless coach. Even Mario Kempes or Gerd Muller will struggle to get a sniff
