I don’t think Pep would bring on Ronaldo five minutes to final whistle, in a done and dusted game. Haba!

I thought the reason for all this argument was because elanga was sub on and not Ronaldo, that the manager disrespected him by giving a nod to a youngster over him

what is now this I'm seeing that, why did the manager want sub him in at the dead of the game?

to be fair, I'm Kinda lost in this argument now

LostMyZeal:
You're a clown and a dunce

He played his part very well last season

What else dyu expect of him when Maguire shaw and Bissaka were conducting selective giveaways at the back.

What do I even expect from certain Laykute who told us that United's psg comeback is more valuable than our Europa trophy

That's the kind of weird reasoning we see here on a daily anyway

Please sit your hypocritic ass out on this one

Don't thank me

maguire has been benched, same for Aaron, was for shaw until he stepped up, u should have pointed that in your argument

izzou:
[color=royalblue]For me, as a Ronaldo stan, walking out before the game ended was wrong. Even if you dont like ETH, keep the compusure for the team's benefit.

Also, i feel the guy has his mind on the WC. Nothing interests him anymore. The major cup United can win this season is either the league (highly debatable), or the Europa (something he doesnt want to be associated with).

So, Baba is trying to focus on the WC physically,
mentally and Spiritually.

If Portugal wins the WC, it wouldn't matter to him if he trains with the U18 from home sef. That would be his greatest accomplishment ever [/color]

it does not work like that, a lot of players have their mind on the WC also, word from the streets said that this is the last chance for Belgium golden generation, yet de bruyne puts everything on the line for city whenever he starts, so is Benzema, so is kane, so is every other star players going to this WC without being a winner prior to this edition, but you don't see them acting like this for their team

remove yourself from being a Stan, look at it from the other player perspective, look at it from the coaches perspective (he will be sack but the players will remain) wasn't ronaldo scoring during olè last stint, yet Ole got sacked, you can heap a lot of blame on ETH for publicaly saying ronaldo was in his plans, but really be objective what do u expect him to say? that Ronaldo should leave? that Ronaldo should is his 4th choice striker? a player revered among the man utd fan base (including myself), a player that just finished as our top scorer, so ETH should washed him in front of the press before ronaldo even have the chance to kick a ball under his management?

You don't know what's going on in the coaches mind, I kind of have a strong indication that ETH probably had plans for him for the Chelsea game(you can all deny it) but he wouldn't be this furious if he doesn't care Ronaldo rots on the bench

bro look at it from other parties perspective, then you'll get the picture

nitrogen:
Lol. We make stars, how many have you made since Ferguson left, even before he left?

You are a joker!

and how many silverware have we won with the big signing we've been making since he left, all we got were toxic dressing room, player acting inappropriate, players playing rubbish but can't get dropped because they were purchased with big money, players getting overpaid with little or no effort to justify their wages

if big players rejecting us tops the highest of your worries, then you're really a board member as they claimed you are, you're just after the commercial success, we care about the football

nitrogen:
30 something year old players are mercenaries. You don’t need to build your team around them. You just need them to help you for one or two years until you sign good players. Mercenaries don’t stay on the bench, playing everytime is how their stocks are marketed. Zlatan is another example.

ETH should have been real with the guy and let him know that he is building a team, and may not be able to give him time on the pitch. Also, I believe if they had not put a tag on him, some clubs would have signed him.

ETH was a bit selfish in this regard. This shyte is definitely a bit of a stain on him because top clubs would feel that he is incorrigible and can’t manage egos in a team. Imagine, having Pogba, Ronaldo, and/or Zlatan in the team. Na safe journey be that. As for the club, very top players would think twice before joining us. Currently, we are struggling to attract young super stars (re Mbappe, De Jong, Haaland etc) because of our state. We have focused more on 28-34 year old players (e.g Casemiro, Varane) that have almost nothing to win or lose. If we can do this shyte to a player like Ronaldo (Utd legend o), omo, those players fit think twice when Utd calls.

we don't care about them big stars anymore, man utd lost her identity when we started chasing them anyway, we don't buy stars we make stars, chech the history

Englishisamust:
Waiting Eth do to dalot. Dalot really dey suprise me the seasonoo.

the fact that he scored the two goals in an inverted wing back position shows a lot more of what ETH wants his FBs to do, putting more bodies in the midfield and box, I'd like to see the inversion in a free flowing and high line situation, but for now Malacia is more deep into the IWB than him tho, dude mostly plays like a midfielder whenever we're attacking

Santos07:
did he play well?

he actually did, not the man of the match tho(that went to mcgin) but he was solid, he was playing as a BBM and BWM at the same time, the other thing I noticed was, he was not shying away from passes from his defenders and he passes were progressive, he attempted more forward passes and only passed back when I believed was the best time, his tackles were neat but I'm still a bit skeptic about him tho, sometimes he goes way higher and during counters it was a bit too much for him to chase down, in all, it's obvious his game is changing

airmark:
They should appoint Maguire to be following opponet's key player on the field like this, since he is useless in kicking the ball.


https://j.gifs.com/vo0k3M.gif

that's one of the best man marking, herrera did well, ended 2 nil, and he scored too

LostMyZeal:
They're both high up I think

Then again from deep, any of Varane and Martinez fit send wicked pass

Mehn I'm loving this

and martinez has been doing it through out the the first half

Bombblacks:
If that's you argument then no objection from me. I was talking about your earlier post concerning the Leicester match.

that's my argument, he should have make starting place competitive, player should be given the opportunity to fight for their place, I just hope ten hag does that, make he no worn out his players beyond redemption

Illimitable:
No pace, no agility, no athleticism.

These lack of defensive attributes makes him a liability. PL is very tough and with very smart attackers. Even an all rounder looking Saliba got ruined by Rashford twice.

If Maguire didn’t have a British passport, he would be playing in League 1.

I think he's not that bad, pple would argue that he's not at the level of player that should be starting for Manchester United, maybe?

but we all know most of our players were badly coached under olè, that is another angle

look at Mctominay, I was literally begging God to touch ten hag's mind not to use the boy, but somehow he's found a way round the dude(at least for now), he analysed him, brought out his pros and cons and he's prolly making a proper baller out of him, Mctominay he's the only one in our midfield that is press resistant, he'll get out of a 2/3 man press 7/10 situation, he's also an excellent ball winning, he just lose focus on the pitch,hes not an excellent passer, but he can get the ball out of a tight space while he delivers the ball bruno/eriksen or our FBs and I think ten hag has prolly assigned someone to always remind him of his zone, when he moves forward Eriksen drops to cover and add extra man to defence while also orchestrating play from deep

I know he'll start on Thursday and he'll like to make an impression, I just hope he doesn't doom himself, because that's "bye bye 1st 11"

Bombblacks:
Do you remember the last time Maguire was injured against Villa during the 2020/2021 season and Bailly was drafted into the starting eleven? We lost back to back matches 2:1 against Leicester and Liverpool 4:2. Its obvious Ole doesn't trust Bailey using past performances that he prefers an half fit Maguire to him. Even Ragnick came in and gave Dalot and Telles game time yet Bailly was ignored. No manager trust him cause he isn't good enough.

I remember those games, I think it was an all round drop in form for the entire team, it was already guaranteed we'd finished second, and both teams we faced were desperate for points to get into top 4, I've seen bad days of bailly and I've seen that of maguire, but a fit bailly gives his all on the pitch, remember the 2-1 over villa that same season, the fact that players place in first xi were not under threat even with the disasterclass they serve week in week out, is the argument, if bailly can be dropped because he made mistakes/errors, such should have been done to others

that same season was d undoing for tuanzebe, and he's not been regarded again

Illimitable:
Add Maguire to your kill list.

on maguire issue, let's be critical, is it the inability of him to read the game? or the fact that he's overdoing things? or he's just a person that should be led and not leading?

whenever I look at his structure, his built, he's supposed to be one of the most feard defender in PL, but opponent attackers always like to press him, because he's error prone

but I think he will be essential for Erik's style

Bombblacks:
I definitely am but he has himself to blame.

100 percent

Illimitable:
And whenever I curse Ole here, his fans are quick to defend him to let it go.

The damage he’s caused still has a ripple effect. Ten Hag, the no nonsense manager has gotten rid of all the British defenders at the back and we suddenly look like a team that can play football.

If Ole was still here, back line would be

AWB - Maguire - Jones - Shaw.

if I have power to kill and resurrect the second day, I'd kill olè, that man played an unfit maguire for that Leicester clash over a fit baily, which later cost us the 3 points, that loss is solely on Ole, and I'll be forever bitter about that game

paafin:
I think that was the throw-in that resulted in the 18- pass move leading to Anthony's Goal

I just had to watch the goal again, 60 seconds, 18 passes, and the fact that all 11 players had at least a touch in the build up was mind blowing

cause I remember city did something similar one time, the entire Internet went agog

that's some good football from man utd, if that's what Erik is about, then good times ahead, I just hope those players will just chin up and back straight and not get complacent

wetin Mctominay chop, I'd like to know

bros got dawg in him

ovoP:
lukaku has always been a goalscorer in his career, if you create chances for him he'll score..

Heck halaand has scored 10 goals but city don't look right.. they are lacking control in games, they usually have, and that's because halaand isn't the best with the ball at his feet.. they are playing more of a system that allows more chances to be created for their striker, but now have to lose some form of control in their games.. Crossing a lot in positions they usually hold the ball, pass back and recycle.. May this style will bring them champions league, we'll see..

they've been conceding a lot also, 6 goals in 6 games at this time last year, it was 1 or so

Illimitable:
Eriksen is the most comfortable player in possession out of all the options DDG had and it was Eriksen that demanded for the ball the most by sprinting towards DDG.

If DDG gave that ball to Maguire and he got caught in possession, you people would still blame DDG that why didn’t he give it to Eriksen. I hate this revisionism fans and some analysts do whenever a goal is conceded.

DDG had few seconds to decide whom to play the ball to. Shaw and Maguire have let him down in the past and Eriksen looked ready to receive the ball.

Why was passing to Eriksen a poor decision in that scenario? Eriksen should have handled himself better. It was his fault. If he wasn’t ready to receive the ball, he shouldn’t have showed himself for it.

bro! u seems to forget it was a goal kick, few seconds? No! he had the wide angle to scan and see if a players is marked, even if eriksen called for the ball, he should have used his brain to understand that that's a hot zone, he could have gone long, he did the same against Leicester in an fa Cup some years back passing to a marked Fred, we all blamed Fred, but this time DDG is the culprit, should eriksen have done better yes!! but bro! rest the argument

somehow something is wrong with Liverpool

I believe it was the amount of trophies they chased last season and the meagre ones they won, confidence issues?

Oasis007:


Isak..... watch out for him.

this guy us looking bigger, but isn't he an attacking midfielder?

ChristoBam:
One thing I'll never do is roll through the mud with you. People like you that are quick to talk about incest while trying to throw insults look at their family members with lust.

Man talking about incest, replacing brains with Akara balls, evil spirits in village, because of a Convo about Haaland and a release clause . Your dirty, depraved, juvenile mind in it's full glory.

Get this through your thick skull. Antony was signed for that amount because they believe he's a talented player. Man has not played a single game for the club but you've called him a flop and whatnot because of a nairaland argument.

At the time we were after Haaland, we believed he was an exceptional talent also. But there's no way in hell, we'd sign him with a release club that can be triggered by any club in England.


This thing is as simple and straightforward as it gets. I don't know why anyone would believe we should do that deal. He'd probably be signing for Chelsea/City if we made that deal that year.

But you having to resort to these kinds of insults because you don't agree shows your warped mentality. You're almost moving like you'd get your account credited if you have the last say in any argument here. Reason you're holding on to any angle or throwing childish insults when you've got no point.

Na you dey follow ham argue, sergio regullion was not signed for the same reason, real Madrid insisted on a buy back clause, and we refused, we can't be developing players for them, reasons he went to spurs and not us

how on earth would a club of man utd stature buy a player a put a meagre amount of £51 million euro on a young player who could become a sensation in 2/3 years time, that's bad business, if it's £170m above I for agree

Expert17:
Positioning and jump power

when I first watched his compilation, it was obvious he's very good at reading the game, he knows his shortcomings and he's found a way to compensate for it, i told someone here, but he disagreed that he'll be targeted, they've done so for 2 straight games and he's been excellent , I'm still observing him, but he's the butcher they claim he is

nitrogen:
If a business is self sustaining by sorting out its operating expenses, capital expenses (re:transfers etc.), and servicing it’s debt on time, why should shareholders put in more money?

Man Utd is a successful enterprise, no need to waste funds, moreso, debt is good for every business as long as it’s at an optimal level.

our stocks haven't been doing well in recent years, read it somewhere that if you'd invested £1000 in man utd when we first join the NYSE, it would worth less now, compare to some other clubs in the WhatsApp group, the bottom line is this, they appointed wrong folks and spend money on wild goose chase

they're beyond redemption, they need to leave, the club has prolly existed before the first glazer self

nitrogen:
They are coming for you. I honestly don’t know what else they want from the family. They sign top managers available and back them. I guess fans’ issue is the small money they take out annually. But what’s their business with the 10-20m money they receive annually after they’ve spent over a billion on transfers in a decade?

they've spent, but they've not been shrewd with the resources, ask yourself what has our recruitment plans been in d last 10 years? what style of play has the team Implemented after ferge left? it's not all about spending, wetin we dey spend on? look at our youth system, the state of old trafford and a lot of things, bro, them no try at all

Ihebu4chelsea:
Guys Please I dont understand why a Large section of the Utd Fan Base are always Insulting the Owners ,( Glazer's Family) I want to know why!! Are they not backing Man utd Enough Financialy? What do you guys want them to do? Come inside the field and deliver Trophies?

the fans are not hating dem because of the bad patches we're experiencing, we've been hating on dem from the beginning of time, the take over procedure 17 years ago didn't sit well with the fan base, to the extent that some section of the fan base left the team and created another club, they borrowed money to procure the club and put the debt on d club, meaning the glazers have own man utd for 17 years, a dime of their own money has not gone into the club, the club has been self sustained and still paying debt we knew nothing about, even when we were winning trophies, the green and gold scarf has always symbolise the end of dem glazers, as far back as 2007, Beckham once use the scarf

They are parasites, the own d club but the don't invest instead take dividends and still force us to pay debt, we've paid roughly 2.5b yet we still owe 600m,any money u see man u spend bro, ńa man u get ham, dem no give us shishi

Mikechinos:
Mehn from what I'm seeing varane is pretty average. Chong should be sold this night. Garner didn't even show anything I think Zidane and savage are better than him garnacho is the only bright spot here

varane was the reason we couldn't play from the back during the first half of the game, he was visibly shaky, couldn't pass short, and he kept pulling his full back into a forced defensive position

I don't know if you can help me, somehow someone can access my WhatsApp conversation from another device, without me linking it from my end, or he bugged someone I'm talking to on WhatsApp, cause he keeps track of my convo with the person on WhatsApp, can you help provide solutions


I've done the two steps authentication method, but he's still sniffing around, he's there a way I could block him out, from accessing my conversation with people even if he cloned their account.

ChristoBam:
You know there's a difference..City drops deeps sometimes. But most times they control the game and leave the opponents most times to resort to counter attacks. We won't do that next season. That's the point. Btwn, they don't have a 5'8 CB.

Lol you say I'm ignoring stats. It's because I'm not going to delude myself to think that Lisandro beats a Kane or Dias or anyone to a 50-50 header.

Whether we like it or not, he'll be a liability Aerial wise. But the effects will be limited if we can play the high line, possession, high pressing football Ajax play.

fellaini and ibra are way taller than ronaldo, but Ronaldo can reach way higher ball than dem why?

the same to CBs that are bigger and taller than ronaldo, he still score header against them why?

he has a tremendous ability to lift higher than his contemporary without aiding himself with pace 2 he time his run and intelligently get to positions he his going to connect the ball effortlessly

forget all these talks, though it's an issue but thinking he's going to be utterly useless in the EPL because he's the shortest CB no follow

Let's see him, shebi with our very big and tall maguire we still dey concede to set pieces

donstan18:
No top manager want to ruin his team tactics because of a selfish player who’s very useless when he’s not tappin the ball in.

Ronaldo ruined Ole, he sacked him and made other attackers useless.

bros! with the way you dey talk so, pesin wey no know football go think say olè na top class coach ooo, easy with your argument

whatever rock your boat, whatever truth that makes you sleep at night, but stop this wild goose chase, claiming he rendered the other attackers useless, an outsider go think say dem good b4, of which we all know they aren't

peace ✌️

Trevor012:
This false narrative again. Vdb has made the 30man balon dor list so I don't understand the point of bringing that up. Vdb on form has played and dominated top teams in the champions league something Bruno can never do. Now let's break down your lies.


He Can play freekicks.......He has scored just one freekick for United if I can remember. Where is the he can score freekicks coming from?

He can score....... 65%of Bruno goals for United are penalties.

He has vision.......God forbid bad thing. I dare you to bring one YouTube clip of Bruno dropping a mind blowing pass. Bring any pass that made you open mouth. What vision are you talking about?

the pass to rashford against atalanta..

the pass to odion ighalo against lask or so

that's just two, YouTube is your friend

adebayo201:
Thank you big...

I still think ETH knows what he wants and he's making a big risk demanding it from these players. The players have a long way to go. New system, new style of play and many of them are finding it difficult to do the one touch stuff.

I'm sure with time, everything go gell. I hope we can see them replicate a better football skills on the football pitch.

that was the similar style VDB was playing when he arrived, the reat just couldn't keep up with him
