I remembered when Haaland missed dt glorious chance against Liverpool during community shield match , most people suddenly turn against him.fast forward to his match against West Ham , suddenly he is now d best thing dt I v happen to man city.One match( we played very well in second half), I mean just one match everybody is condemning ETH.Na wa o.l will start complaining after I v watch 5 of his premier ship matches.

Is anybody questioning his managerial skills? Is that what is being condemned?

TrebleChamp:
He should speak out if he isn't getting the support he want from the board, we don't need another puppet as Manager and i certainly didn't see him as such.

Unfortunately looks like the system is rigged and there's nothing one can do about it

Karleb:
Last last, make everybody calm down.

Season just start. We need at least 10 epl games before judging ETH.

I'm not sure people are judging his managerial skills. If there's anything to judge, it's the club inability to get rid of dead woods and bring in talented players

TrebleChamp:
Good advice here...

Lol I once said we may end up losing a good manager if this team doesn't change. If this happens, we should just forget this club being a top team anymore

ChristoBam:
I don't get the guy. Who won't be an upgrade? Are we trying to compete for top 4 or we're generating money for the Glaziers.

We'd literally pick better midfielders than McFred from Southampton.

Its hilarious reading people defend this. It better just be some rumors from our enemies. No well wishing fan should be happy about such news

Bombblacks:
Don't even start with this. Rabiot is an upgrade on both Fred and mctominay.

We can't just be going after any perceived upgrade

Shegzdave:
Why didn’t they score before Ronaldo was subbed in?
You lots just like to say shit about Ronaldo and he’ll keep shutting you up.

Lol are you a learner?

ChristineC:
sir, this management is not serious. that's the long and short of the analysis.
again like I have said before, when we are ready we'd take the arsenal clear out approach.
sell or terminate players that have been poor for a good number of years.
if we are going to compete with the Bayern, Liverpool, City, PSG of this world, let's tell ourselves the truth; howany of our players will make their team?
this thing is a simple stuff.
let's fill the team with these youth guys, give the manager time, terminate or sell the abundant uselessness and see where we are in 2-3 years.

Give the manager time to do what exactly? Groom these youngsters to take up the first team? We should be spending the cash now to sort out certain areas in the team. It will take 2-3 years to fix up this team. We have to start now.

Illimitable:
They didn’t miss out on Conte.

They deliberately ignored him. Conte won’t sit around and let any stupid board give him zero options to beef up his squad.

Conte is a lunatic. He would tell the media how pathetic the board is performing and that would result into bad PR for Man Utd brand.

The moment Rangnick said we needed 10 players, they chased him out of the club and went for ETH -another puppet like Ole that would paper the cracks and save plenty of money for the Glazers to take as dividends.

It was frustrating reading here that we should ignore Rangnick advise and wait for ETH to do his own assessment. I mean these same players that are popular con men.

CapitalCee:
I hve said it. Even Zidane Iqbal and Savage are better than Mctallenttless and Fr(au)d.

We're not still going to achieve top 4 with those youngsters. We need to force our way into being a top team, then we can comfortable groom youngsters and they won't feel the heat. Throwing them into the team as it is currently will only end up putting too much on those players. We should be spending money right now

Ellexy:
Eph12 what where you saying initially about how you'll cook?

ETH has not completed the ingredients. It's in his hands like this

ChristineC:
the central midfield was poor in the first half. let's use the young lads there if we are not buying established players. that way we'd know we are developing the core of a team that will function in two years max.
playing a false 9 upfront too didn't help.
Maguire wasn't that bad but we can certainly use a better player there.

The CM has been bad for a couple of years now, people have been crying for better replacement. How on earth can any reasonable coach choose to go into a new season with these same players in the midfield? The midfield is supposed to be the most important part of any team. It just doesn't make sense

melodyogonna:
So you make all the players in front of goal disappear so the keeper can dive?
We had them under pressure the whole second half, putting crosses and generally in control of the game.

They were never really threatened. It was comfortable for Brighton. Controlling the game means shit if there's no real shout for a goal. It's not by passing around. I saw some back passes for a top team that's playing at home, losing at 70 minutes

patrickmuf:
I am not going to blame EtH as well but if I see those retards in the team sheet next week end I'll start the crusade for his sack immediately...

We don't have players in the team to replace them. We have to buy players, it's that simple

melodyogonna:
Not a bad second half. But I hope they don't restart this rubbish of conceding before remembering how to play football.

It was a bad second half. We didn't threaten their goal. A good second half will have their players and keeper diving everywhere to prevent a goal. Aside Martinez shot, that keeper wasn't threatened

People must learn by force. Shey they said this team competed for the league 2 seasons ago? No wahala na here we dey

Santos07:
I just hope napoli doesn't play hard to get and start quoting high transfer fee

I expect them to. Season has started already, it will be difficult to start looking for a replacement. United will have to pay top fee, unless the player is very interested in moving to United

patrickmuf:
I trust EtH to get the best out of them. They have done their part by impressing in the preseason games, let's keep an open mind and see how things unfold from here...

What's your expectation for this season?

Ellexy:
Erik ten Hag has concerns about the depth of #mufc's squad. Eight players left this summer and so far, only Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martínez and Tyrell Malacia have arrived #mulive [@hirstclass]

Fake report

Ellexy:
ETH'S stubbornness here in preferring only his ex players. Ajax clearly quoted a fvck you price for Anthony, we should have moved on and gotten some one else.

As for FDJ, we could have gotten Parades and Renato Sánchez for a combined fee of 30m Pounds and they both can do the required job it na FDJ wey dey use our club wipe ground we still dey pursue.

I hope ETH knows the best cos omo the dragging no go be here oo.

I'm seriously hoping ETH is a miracle worker, and our youngsters step up. If not we're bleeped

When we said people should leave Ronaldo and focus on the real issues, which is this club miserable outing this transfer window. They prefer to focus on Ronaldo that has already seen that the club is not ready to buy the needed players this transfer window.

Ellexy:
Ronaldo's case is different who clearly undermined the club. If the club sells him, they must get a replacement. The issue is the lack of quality depth we have and not about whether Ronaldo stays or leaves.

I still maintain that a serious club would have gotten an extra attacker or two since the transfer window started

ovoP:
I don't think we should have given ETH full power, this de jong deal says it all.. the club knows the weaknesses in the team, they should have bought players to address those weaknesses, instead of pursuing FDJ all window.. ETH takes 100% blame here, because he's d only reason man united are still hoping this deal happen.. he's d reason we overpaid for martinez.. I don't like coaches as scouts.. it don't usually end well.. identify targets and work with the coach to see if he wants them, or if they suit is style.. currently d only player ETH knows are ex players or people he has seen i eridivise..

Now we need a RB at least 2 midfielders at least 2 attackers(RW and striker).

Defense was d least of our worries.. we could have solved that next summer.. our Defense was always put under pressure because of our midfield, yet we didn't solve that issue..

Make we dey see...

Good morning

Expert17:
You don't expect Nairaland IT guys to receive the same pay as Twitter tech guys.

Does this apply to only Manchester United or other top clubs too?

kozmicity:
I said this yesterday... Everyone focuses on his defensive abilities and forget the offensive. Man's not a DM, and can never be one. Let him play as a CM and y'all will see.

Lol

Leyqute:
This was what led to the second goal we conceded yesterday. Fred passed to him, we were dispossessed, and they scored from that opportunity.

Main man indeed.

I thought yesterday ended 1-0?

I can feel the energy, but the movement and intelligence is just there. Same with the first team that played yesterday

engrelvis:
is DStv showing it?

I don't think so

elrony:
Couldn't even do the usual subs, omo if you remove those youth teamers, we no get squad at all, trouble looms

Those youth teamers should still be learning at this point sef. Make pressure no swallow them

MRTA7:
Atleti have played their usual game and beaten us. Made it scrappy and scored a good winner.

They made a lot of changes to keep the team fresh. ETH couldn’t afford to do that.

ETH can’t even make enough changes because the team is so light. Normally Fred should have been off this game by now

Illimitable:
Maguire missed that header from 6 yards!

£80m asset.

This club is doomed!

Anybody can miss
