I think one major mistake most united fans make is thinking that the signing of a good defensive midfielder would automatically transform pur midfield.. Be it ndidi or casemeiro..the underlying issues in our midfield is that they don't know how to mark and press as a UNIT. I don't know if the coaching crew doesn't think in that direction..even if we get the best DM in the world now,with this current setup,he would look lost when trying to close down spaces and mark with no one going in unison with him.

And he will be trolled here by United fans

timay:
BTW, his job description as an AM is to spam passes into the box. That is what creates chances.

Intelligent passes

Karleb:
Broke as in, the boards are no more making gain?

In that case, the club should be sold to those that can maintain it.

Besides, if the club could go broke for buying Sancho, they wouldn't be pricing him.

Broke as in broke. There are plenty bills to pay when running institutions like football clubs.

The club won't be sold for free. Those that buy it won't come in and throw money anyhow like you are insinuating because it's not your money.

Karleb:
This is why I always ask if it is their money.

You don't think the club can ever go broke?

BlueAngel444:
I would be shocked if SG doesn't play Sancho against Germany

I honestly want to know what SG problem is with Sancho

BlueAngel444:
3 seasons of 30+ G/A over 100G/A in total, 21 years old better than Dembele that was sold for €140m, he is not worth €100m

That Dembele was sold for that amount doesn't mean he's worth that

TrebleChamp:
Some Olesexuals said the board did not buy Ole's transfer target (aka Sancho) last season, now that he is almost a Red Army Ole have not excuse to fail next season...

I'm still not convinced we're going to buy Sancho this window though. But I hope he gets Sancho and we do very well next season

elrony:
Issa simpu sturvs!!

But first things first, sign top players.

That's not first thing for me. If not you will sign top players the top coach can't use for big money.

Bring in the coach, he assesses the team and makes he request to the board

Sancho, Sancho, Sancho but we get manager like Southgate wey no fit use am

patrickmuf:
Go and ask Pastor Fred...

nitrogen:
Agree. But Semedo left his man several times, dragging CB roles with Pepe and Diaz. At some point, the three of them were together in the name of securing the middle.

If we're to ask, who was Semedo's man in that match? Hope you're not referring to those full backs that were finding joy down the wings?

nitrogen:
As in. Being flexible is a gift sha. Same wing, same player, Semedo has been chopping shit since the game started.

Manager should have tweaked the formation after the two own goals.

I can't blame Semedo here. He got no assistance on that wing for Silva in the first half. Attackers should be pressing and tracking back to assist the full backs too. They can't do it alone

patrickmuf:
Bruno comes with studs in his boots...

Say no to players that fall like they're under anointing...It's Manchester United and not Synagogue Church Of All Nations...

You sure say you never high? What's this na?

patrickmuf:
Key for a bottling company...Next.

Bruno is also key for the bottling company... Previous

patrickmuf:
Fred...

Fred is key player for his club and country. Martial is a ..... for his club and country. Fill in the gap

chai I was hoping for an upset. Are we not going to see any upset this euros ni?

patrickmuf who are you passing to here o? Rashford or Mbappe?

adebayo201:
One thing is certain, after Euro, some players values will increase while some will be trashed.

Depending on the scout department to look at it from all point before going for a player.

We have a scouting department? Interesting

handelex:
What world of difference a World class manager can have on a team. Southgate and Ole seems to be cut from the same cloth.

Definitely
The manager job goes far beyond selecting team sheet. Southgate is even failing at that

How can you leave your best creative players on the bench

handelex:
This England play the shittiest football ever and its not even close yet their arrogance is through the roof

Its the manager. They have a very good team

Sniper4real:
Watched the match. Fred did well to some extent. He played the CM role normal, not much on defensive duty.

We really need A DM. Not all dis CMs turned DM.

While Fred starts, Caseimero and Fabinho dey rotate position. Some people here no know ball finally

KingAlabi:
Fred with another assist for Brazil

We need a CDM badly, our midfielders seem to click with them.

Meanwhile somebody's MCM was pursued away from the French team with spoon

patrickmuf:
If you see Mbappe making a run and on one side, you see Martial/Rashford, who will you rather pass to?

Depends on who has the advantage at that time. Many things are involved on the field na. Its not just black and white

patrickmuf:
Let's not just talk about Pogba and his performance for France, let's talk about the players they have up front. As a midfielder, if you trust your strikers, you'll not hesitate to find them when you have the ball. Imagine Pogba seeing Cavani making a run with too defenders close to him, he'll definitely think twice about the pass because Cavani doesn't have the legs...If it's Rashford, he'd be certain he won't make anything out of the pass...

Pogba trust Mbappe and that's why he never hesitates to find him...

As others have posted another area we need to strengthen is the midfield (defensive midfield), Kante did the job of Mcfred whilst Rabiot provide support when needed whilst helping to carry the ball forward...Ole should fix our midfield if he is serious...

Patrick this one no make sense. How many of those passes did they make anything out of yesterday? One would think France score many goals yesterday or the players made something out of those passes every time

patrickmuf:
He deserves another season here...We just can't bin him after one season...

Hazard also had a disastrous season with Chelsea couple of years ago but they didn't sell him afterwards, they kept the faith and rediscovering his form, they sold him to Madrid making massive profit in the process...

Yimu

patrickmuf:
Hehehe na here we dey when una go line up dey pay debts of respect you guys are owning him...

Are we still talking about Martial here? Just forget it

patrickmuf:
eph is behind it, he doesn't want anything that will see Fred on the bench...

When you're good, you're good. Where your boy Martial dey now sef? Nobody wants him?

LostMyZeal:
lol...Pogba needs to fvck off as soon as possible with his unending inyanga

Abd by the way, Pogba's sale will raise the money.

Who're you gonna sell? Tell me!

Imagine being in need of money
Shebi na the most Marketable good you go sell

Y'all stop defending Pogba blindly

Pogba was good last season. I don't know what you're talking about.

TrebleChamp:
How much would you suggest the club offers Pogba? Cos if rumours of wages he is demanding are true, he is better off being sold (if any club come for him) or leave for free next season...

But if he's making unreasonable demands, then the club can let him go

LostMyZeal:
Oh wow...what system, if I may ask?

Simple style

patrickmuf:
Koke is creative if required to and he adds that defensive solidity you don't get from Pogba...I like Pogba but he has to renew ASAP, we can't afford to lose a player of his calibre for free...

I agree, we shouldn't lose him for free. However I'm very concerned about our creativity going into the new season. We can't leave it for Bruno and Rashford. I hope we get Sancho, a CDM and a very good and creative it Pogba leaves

96forever:
They play with 3 midfielders in a 4 3 3, Casmeiro is the DM, Fred the box to box and Paqueta as the more advanced. He’s been pretty good for Brazil, rarely losses the ball and has been tidy with his passes.

His pairing with Casmeiro who’s a sitting DM is working out fine.

A Pogba swap with Madrid for Casmeiro?

Caseimero is a key player for real Madrid. Unless the new coach does not want him
