If Shaw plays LWB for even 10 minutes he will be injured for at least 6 months. I think it will be Maz and Dorgu as WBs and Yoro, Maguire, Shaw at the back.

P.S I assume we are talking about the Bilbao 1st leg.

Under-18 are fumbling the season away.

Kamason likely to make his debut tomorrow. Beneficiary of Dalot’s injury.

afrodoc:
He had already played the most minutes of any player for us this season before playing 120 minutes against Lyon. It made the most sense to rest him completely against Wolves, but we don't usually make sensible decisions.

His injury is a calf muscle injury, which is usually due to work overload.

The options are either to play Maz RWB and Dorgu LWB or play Dorgu RWB and Amass LWB.

......Jobe Bellingham! Get the boy and develop him as a proper CM.

You just dey clock am?

From what i heard the club can't afford to buy both Osimhen and Cunha and it seems they have prioritized Cunha, hence the need to get a cheaper alternative in Delap.

The dividends of wasting 200m pounds on Mount, Hojlund, Antony have started to pay off.

yemmight:
Good afternoon fans. Please any update on returning dates for Dialo, Martinez and Co?

spillo1:
Osimhen comes with a lot of baggage plus a salary of at least 300k. Delap is a steal for just 30Million pounds.

Ellexy:
So this club is really going for Delap instead of Osimhen....Like someone said, that Delap is screaming Hoijlund 2.0

Do our scouts and board buy well?

Let's leave the confusion in your mind when the same board that according to you keeps hiring the wrong coaches is somehow managing to buy the right players.

We said no to Toni Kroos when Moyes wanted him and got Fellaini instead.

When Gabriel Barbosa and Gabriel Jesus were available, we tried to get Barbosa while Jesus went to City. Barbosa finally came to Europe and failed quickly before heading back to Brazil.

When Antony and Raphinha were available we paid 82m for Antony while Raphinha went to Barca for 50m.

We bought AWB (a RIGHTBACK o) who was obviously never going to be a top-level footballer for 50m. We bought Maguire a molue-slow CB from a lower level EPL team for 80m. This was YEARS ago, and even now top-level strikers are still going for 60-70m. But we bought 2 mediocre defenders for 130m.

If we have been appointing the wrong coaches for years, then we have also been buying the wrong players for years. People here keep talking about how the players can't be bad since they were doing well at their previous clubs before coming here. Well, that excuse can also be made for the managers. They also were doing well in their previous clubs before coming here.

My point was that fans should not get too giddy over any new signing based off reputation until they show us their quality in our club, but you and your coven of contrarian spirits must always find something to complain about.

afrodoc:
Oh ok.

At this point I believe everybody on this forum agrees on that.

No more blind faith in the face of contrary evidence.

I never said that was not the plan.

I was just highlighting the point that he won't get the whole of next season. Once he has a preseason and a few new squad additions he has to start next season well or else he won't see Christmas, like so many coaches before him.

1st correction. He has been way below average in the league. The squad is much better than 14th position.

2nd correction. He will get the 1st half of next season. Oct to Dec is historically the sack time.

If there is not significant improvement by the first few months of next season he should and will be shown the door.

ChristineC:
that was a good free kick though.
not inch perfect good, but..

eph12:
Is there still any hope for Mason Mount?

Lana1:
This was a very winnable 3-1 game but it was yet another game where none of our forwards could score the myriad of chances created.

Lana1:
Person wey we suppose release from contract. No need waiting for another club to come and buy him

ChristineC:
I'm a bit surprised we have been able to compete physically so far.
it's where we have mostly lost out this season.

afrodoc:
I think you intended to quote me here. If Kovar is also error prone then our scouts need to get to work.
We can’t afford another keeper who spreads confusion in the back line.

afrodoc:
I just read that Tyler Fredricson will get a start at CB today. An out of left field decision for a player whose United hopes I thought had been permanently dashed due to injuries.

It might be Fredricson, Lindelof, Maz at the back.

patrickmuf:
I think I will watch the game today just the see what the youngsters can do...A few experienced heads mixed with youth should make for an interesting game.

afrodoc:
The market is not easy. Who are the players you would like us to sign?

afrodoc2:
I think they are intentionally keeping him away from the senior team until next season. They rarely show Under-21 games but from the little i have seen he has potential. He struggled with the tempo of Under-21 earlier on in the season but seems to have started dominating over the past few weeks.

Leyqute:
See Diogo Costa

Yes, to that list. The most important thing for them is that they all have natural positions in this Amorim formation and system. Amass, Mantato, Kamason will be interesting though.
