If Maguire deal didn't open his eyes, nothing else can.

After last episode, I doubt Ed will be willing to buy any player worth that much anymore

Ed will buy big money players but the person must have proven beyond reasonable doubt that they are worth it. Not like sancho that has not won anything

afrodoc2:
Finally i think we have to commend Ed on not bowing to Dortmund. Imagine them trying to play such hard ball on a player who had no other suitors.

I believe the Maguire 80m deal was the final event that opened Ed's eyes. I just hope he keeps it up going forward.

Clubs have started learning to play smart with greedy CEOs like watzke and levy.
City doesn't splash anything more than 60m and even st that, the player must be 25 or below.
Barca are the worst hit and are counting their loss, the preeminence of Messi over the years covered the horrible transfers and contract negotiations since.
After the recent hazard debacle, I doubt Madrid will be foolish to make such mistake again, I heard some deluded Liverpool fans saying they will sell sallah and mane to Madrid &/or Barca, to fund the purchase of younger world class players. Lol they are not that stupid.

Maguire is the last player man United will be magad, ED has sent a clear message loud and clear that he is not ready to twerk for anyone to sell players to him.

Look at the young players that Madrid have bought over the years, that's their new model now. Vanicius, Valverde, Kubo, odegaard, Rodrygo.

Very soon players snd agents will start adding compulsory reasonable release clauses or sign short term contracts at clubs like dortmund.

Real Madrid import teenage LB

Nice one. That means he is good. He started in the u-18.

We still have Jurado from Barca.
Garnacho from Athletico madrid.

TrebleChamp:
They wanted to scam us na, but it didn't work. We were even the only Club bidding for him sef, his performance so far this season isn't helping his case either. Maybe he isn't giving his best cos Dortmund didn't sell him to United or he is just temporarily off form...

He might be temporarily off form, however, he is not worth the amount dortmund is asking. No wonder they don't want any performance based add ons they wanted all the money upfront in this pandemic.

They issue with dortmund is they don't necessarily need sancho in football terms. There is hazaed, Brandt and Reyna all who can replace him, and a lot of players waiting in the academy, first sancho will not improve their fortunes on the field more than what it is now, secondly he has to give way for another youngster to shine so that they can sell for big money as usual. His wages too is too high they will be looking to get him off their books. They thought ED will budge and pay the money asked for, they don't know that ED has changed his style look at what he did to porto for Telles . No team is ready to splash astronomical fee for any player as it doesn't always end well. Dortmund will be very lucky to get the reported 90m that man u bid for him ever again. And they should pray he doesn't get injured or his current form doesn't continue. Moreover from now on he will be scrutinised very closely too due to the long transfer saga

I hope our peeps who are saying that clubs will bring 150m euros and be begging Dortmund still thinks the same.
Na here we dey na. The issue is whether Dortmund have sancho in their team or not, their on field fortunes can never increase, so why holding on to him and paying him 200k/week.

TBH we should be looking to rejig our front line. Rshford, Martial and Greenwood are competent attackers but we need very deadly attackers to kill off games. People like Kane, Halaand and Son

afrodoc2:
Lindelof was tired by the time Kean entered. Also don't discount Keane so easily, he has talent despite his Everton flop.

The high line we played aided our pressing game. We can't play high line and press efficiently with Maguire and Matic. Ole should better give himself brain and do the needful.

I just hope so, I was surprised how ordinary Kean was opening us up. But like u said let's not underrate him.

Maguire and Matic can only play against very poor opposition. Ole should take note of this and have sense

afrodoc2:
McTominay was good throughout, and played very well on a yellow card. fred grew into the game and was really good in the 2nd half. He also saved 1 or 2 loose Pogba balls.

Fred and Mctoms did very well. Especially Mctoms.

KingAlabi:
In my opinion we need that pass and shot from outside but he was covered when Pogba came on Sha
Don't know why ole left him after Pogba came on

His shots were wayward. Pogba changed the tempo of the game to our favour TBH

afrodoc2:
Tuanzebe i am certain is faster than Neymar by far. Over long distances Tuanzebe was faster than Rashford in the youth team, so that part of his game is no surprise to me.
I am more interested in watching his decision making and positioning. His natural speed and bad luck with injuries means he has not had time to work on those 2 issues.

I don't know about his positioning sha, but his decision making looks very ok to me. That final Mbappe run towards the end surprised me. That was VVDesque. Ole should please quickly give him a competent defensive coach to fine tune him. Currently he has Strength, Speed, Confidence, composure and OKish decision making (which can improve with more top level games). I think Positioning might need to be improved on and we have a quality CB in our hands.

As for injury, he is still very young do I won't classify him as injury prone yet.

Odunharry:
Omo I can't count the number of shots AWB blocked. The guy really did well. Thank God for DDG too.

Just painful Our strikers denied Bruno assists.

Bruno got tired early. Ole should have removed him since for VDB.

Lana1:
Beat RBL and we have a good shot of topping this group

Exactly because after that, we will play a double header with Istanbul Bassasehir. Which will be excellent

olabode89:
Dude is solid and not too tall to hamper his speed. He is 6ft 1 that sweet spot between physicality and speed. Hopefully, he can overcome his injury troubles.

Yeah. His wing was swammed by Neymar and Mbappe. He dealt with it perfectly. I don't want to criticise anyone but Moise Kean that flopped at Everton gave Lindelof too much trouble on that left hand side o

Mrviktor:
Na Aaron oh.

He bailed us out most.

Neymar nd mbappe nd kuzarwa suffer for in hand

Yeah AWB was brilliant and is the man of the match for us. But meen u see those DDG saves?

afrodoc2:
Tuanzebe bailed us out a number of times as well. Fred and McTominay were quite immense. Martial was probably the worst player but he held the ball and linked up well, and his pressing was on point also.

Good to see Tuanzebe looking fit again.

Exactly. But doc what will you say about how Tuenzebe tracked neymar and mbappe when psg were on counter? Aren't we looking for a defender that can track the runs of dangerous and speedy opposition attacker's and snuff out the danger? I don't know if you noticed that, or was it just Neymar and Mbappe being just off colour today

olabode89:
My prayer is that we move on from that Sancho transfer and spend that money on a workhorse CDM with excellent passing ability and on another CB. Bailly should be moved on next season.

Tuanzebe was excellent today ooo. I de use corner eye look that guy, look at the way he was closing in on Neymar and Mbappe on counter attack. It seems we have gotten a competent Defender oo. Let me not get ahead of my sef but the guy martialed that defence with aplomb

Nezzjnr:
Lazio won dem ooo

Na only Halaand naim sabi something for that dortmund attack. There group is easy sha, but if them no take time they will be eliminated

Take a Bow.

AWB
Tuanzebe
Shaw
And DDG.

I don't know between DDG and AWB who should be Man of the match.

Martial head no correct sha. But him na my man.

Pogba Assist.

afrodoc2:
Ole should take Bruno off and bring on VDB na. Bruno is tired.

I wonder why he wasted such amount of time

weedtaker:
Herrera Danilo and Gueye midfield, all defensive players.


We should be dominating them.



#GGMU we move

Not so. Neymar and Mbappe are seriously occupying our Midfielders with so much to do. We can't dominate them

chrisley024:
Martial and Rashford need to step up seriously

they should switch or Pogba need to enter. so that bruno will switch to left.

neymar dey worry us. Mctomminay and fred de mark am. the guy don give Mctoms tellow. meanwhile Luke shaw is on beast mode. sloppy passes from Mctoms and Fred sha. Telles Solid. martial and rashy are hit and miss

SyIvalord:
Maybe Eph12 knows something we don't. I am waiting for him to tell me one noteworthy thing Pogba did enroute that Europa league win.

Don't mind him. Now that Bruno is captain today. If pogba like make him play nonsense today again. Bruno go whoze am better slap him inside field and I know Ole, e go do like say nothing happen.

SyIvalord:
Lol. Are you pulling my legs or something? What did Pogba do enroute our Europa league win that is worth remembering? Or is it because he was juggling ball over the head of Celta Vigo players?

Dont mind him.That Europa League that MKHITARYAN beasted. Newly promoted Rashford scored winners in Quaterfinals and Semifinals. MATA and Mkhi did the job on Rostov. Ibrahimovic put St ettiene to the sword. And beasted the group stage. Pogba only scored that futitious goal in the final mkhi settled it. So tell me how pogba gave us Europa

[StrettyNews.com] 'Bruno Fernandes is 100% captain material. Losing his cool with Alex Telles for not moving the ball on quickly enough. These are the levels we need!'


For Bruno, if you do anyhow you see anyhow. Roy Keane. MK 2.0

Nezzjnr:
� #mufc travelling squad to face PSG: de Gea, Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Fosu-Mensah, Tuanzebe, Lindelöf, Shaw, Telles, Williams, Pogba, McTominay, Bruno, Fred, Matić, van de Beek, Pellistri, James, Mata, Rashford, Martial and Ighalo. #udlatest [MEN]

Maguire and Greenwood no travel?

KingTom:
Una go convert nitrogen to ammonia very soon

Lol. Conversion of Nitrogen to Ammonia is a reversible reaction called Haber process. We go bring an back to his normal Nitrogen reality.

Nezzjnr:
Actually true though

The think shock Nitrogen no be small.

nitrogen:
Did you see my previous post? Bruno helped us secure 3rd position even though the other clubs messed up (that’s another discussion). My issue is with Capitalcee for saying that Bruno has done more than Pogba has done for Utd, like seriously? What do you think about that?

But that's the truth na. In less than 1 year Bruno has done what fraudgba couldn't do in 4 years

handelex:
I dunno bro but Pogba hasn't really justified his hype and price tag for us. He's been more average than world-class for the majority of his time here. What's even his legacy at United so far?

Nothing just haircuts and jogging around the pitch

nitrogen:
Nawa o, you sef don join them. Pogba was Serie A player of the year and Juve player of the year before joining Utd o. And this is for those saying that he was a passenger at Juve.

Anyway, I am done, the street is tough. Well done!

He did it in Juve, he did it in France. If he do it like his mates in Man United na crime?
