The actual Fans in UK.

The real fans

Ellexy:
When Fergie signed De Gea for example, wasn't he for the future?

Who was the main keeper?

larride:


The logic of some argument here is head scratching.

No be here them argue say Kane that will guarantee the team at least 20 league goals a season for 3 - 4 season for 100m is expensive?

It's the same Kane that they want to blame the board for not buying. Me I don't even care about who they buy, I just need the midfield solved and everyone using their head on the pitch

KingTom:
You go explain, explain tire because... no evidence!

My brother

TeslaFC:
Him being injured + the price just makes things a lot more complicated. Only trophy success can help ETH here.

He was injured before we paid for him.

ETH does not need to win a trophy this season to have a good season. We just need to see that we're much closer to the current best clubs than we were a year ago. Then we can say we've made significant progress and with some purchases here and there, we can be certain to be around the top or at the top for a while

MRTA7:
Our ability to buy new players is worse.

But its looking like the former is what's holding us back atm

ChristineC:
the only signing that may be unnecessary so far is Mount. let's just assume he'd be a Bruno sub because we had non anyways.
every other deal and even rumoured interest so far is very necessary.
don't make it out like we are some perfect one-plug-to-completion unit.
Weghorst and Martial were our CF last season, with Rashford as an option. Weghorst is gone, Martial will never available. what increase in output are you expecting from this position this season? it's almost a continuation of the same. One CF, one never available CF and Rashford as option. the CF is not match fit and we were already back to option 3 first game of the season.
run same scenario for the midfield and center back.
inability to offload dead weight is another serious problem.
in my view, there were a lot of smart deals that could have been done this summer if we are truly serious about competing.

I don't know which one is worse right now. Our inability to sell off unwanted players or buy new players

I agree with you. But christobam argument here is that Rasmus is for the future, not now. We needed a striker and we got Rasmus, why are we now hearing that he was bought for the future when we haven't solved the present? But if you tell me that ETH mandate is to use this season to train his team in preparation for next season, hence the Rasmus purchase, I have no argument

ChristoBam:
Na budget cause this thing na. They truly believed in his talent they couldn't pass on the deal.

Should we wait for him to have his breakout season, then come back with 180m?

We don't have all the budget in the world, that's clear. So why did we buy Mount and the promising forward when we could have pursued other options?

ChristoBam:
There are so many other things he can do with the ball in the third half. But whatever he's been doing has helped Ten Hag tremendously so far. You think ETH has tried to change anything so far?

The only flaw that I don't think he'll ever improve on is the defensive thing. And I don't think ETH is too bothered about that.

It's not a must every single player in the team has to fit the exact style perfectly. Exceptions are made for certain players. Rashford is certainly one. Who would have thought a striker like Haaland would be perfect for Pep. Man's always wanted every single player in his team involved in the build up.

You can't be saying we should sell a player that our fate this season partly depends on his form.

I agree with you. ETH does not try to change anything. Antony did the same annoying thing through out last season and ETH didn't change it.

You don't have a main striker and you went to buy back up striker first? It's not easy to defend some things sha

ChristoBam:
I don't know what style you're on about. Rashford plays from the left. Play him in his preferred position and he'll ball.

Your own solution is to sell one of the best forwards in Europe and buy whoever you think fits ETH style. And who's that?

Bet you'd have gladly exchanged Rashford for Dortmund's Sancho.

Rashford position when with the ball in the third half is to first run with the ball and look for how to shoot even though his best option is to look for the pass. He will also abandon his defensive duties.

He may be one of the best forwards in Europe, and also not good for the team. It's very possible

Nigeriagood:
how much more do they have to spend haha

Apparently like a billion more before we can play fvcking Wolves at Old Trafford

ChristoBam:
Smh, don't even know if I want to continue this conversation with you. Cuz you're ignoring facts and sticking to agenda.

Rashford works when we're looking to play on the counter with lots of space behind the opposition defence. Unfortunately, we'll see more teams set up like wolves against us in the future. What you saw against Wolves is only a little preview of what's to come. It doesn't work. Everyone knows it doesn't work. Except from Agenda pushers like you.

Martial was supposed to be our starting 9 last season. And you're now admitting yourself he played approximately 10 games all of last season. So wtf are you listing him as a top option for a team trying to challenge for the league?

So at what point will Rashford be pushed out since he's not suitable for the kind of style ETH wants to play or this only applies to some other guys in the team? Should we not be looking to raise money for players suitable for this style? Rashford will fetch some good money that can buy this striker that we need

KingTom:
He obviously didn't know he needed another forward when he signed Mountain dew, cut Tegwolo some slack biko

Mountain dew of all people smh

ChristoBam:
From what I see so far, Mount is nervous as hell. He's been playing with so much trepidation. Look at how he fell just by trying to quickly move the ball.

Maybe we'll see what the plan was when he gets his confidence back. It's not looking good though.

I hope he gets this confidence back. He is our cross now

ChristoBam:
We need another forward. We literally have only Hojlund. It's week two and people are already talking about playing Sancho up front.

He should collect that 60m back from Chelshit

chic2pimp:
You are Nigerian living in Nigeria so I know damn well hunger and poverty is dealing with you mercilessly so I'll ignore you henceforth.

Lol once you're a Nigerian living in Nigeria, you're definitely experiencing hunger and poverty? Smh

We would have signed a CM by now if we had lost that game

larride:
No no no. We dont do that here.

Was Bruno, Casmerio and Rashford not the same people that DDG was playing with then?

They told us once we replace DDG, all these will change, na the change we dey wait for like this.

This is the argument but they will always twist it to say we don't want Onana to succeed. Lessons will be learned

Leyqute:
So, you believe criticizing a new player who is yet to kick a ball and hoping that he fails because he replaced your fave is the way to go?

LoL.

I'm done.

Ignore those ones and focus on how much this new player has changed the way we play. I believe that's the focus of the criticism. We were told that the former keeper was the one allowing us to be under pressure because he couldn't rotate possession.

Leyqute:
It's a different thing when you criticize a certain performance in a certain game ...to calling for the head of your best players when you don't have any replacements.. and you don't know jack from shiit.

Paul Scholes looked in the camera lojukoroju after the FA cup final and asked United to get rid of De Gea. That's the lord and savior of some of you people. Why are you not calling his love fake?

We that are asking the club to get rid of the bad eggs that make us weaker and keep onto the good ones- until they start getting bad at least- don't love the club abi?

Everybody go dey alright.

LOL the point is that you can be a fan and criticize players or coach of your club. Don't come with some emotional nonsense. Allow people question things that they feel are not right, not some nonsense fake fan real fan shiit

TrebleChamp:
Are you surprised at their silly takes? They are the same set of guys that called us fake fans, when sensible fans like us wanted Ole sacked. Ole was taking the Club where we don't know, but this people (Olesexuals) termed our criticism as hate or lack of love for the club. They are the real fake fans, that don't want the progress of the club. The teams plays rubbish for 90minutes, but you be hater if you criticise the Manager or Players. Awon Olesexuals 😁.

How are you a real fan if you're not okay with whatever the coach and players churn out every match day?

LMAO even Scholes that used to rant about how we played even when we win does not love Manchester United. Its Alaba from Surulere that love Manchester United

ChristoBam:
Tbh, I don't really care about the last 5 years cuz that's another discussion.

My one is each manager and how they've been backed. No one cares about how much Emery or Pellegrini spent.

All I know is ETH inherited the worst United team we've ever seen. And need massive investment in that team to battle it out with a Man City that's basically a super team, A Chelsea that has spent billions, and an Arsenal that's been gradually built over 4 years.

We played against Wolves yesterday, not those that have spent billions like us

AdisaOwala:


That's an unfortunate effect of the "Glazer out syndrome"... especially when it is imbibed via a "follow follow" mentality.

Eei God

When you don't want to accept the truth

patrickmuf:
Newcastle were someway off our position in league before the Saudis bought the club. In the timeframe, since they bought Newcastle, have they outspent us? (I don't have the facts) but I'll be surprised if they have. We had the better squad before the Saudis bought the club and I am not sure they have significantly outspent us since January 2022 but on the footballing side, they have been growing from strength to strength...

The Newcastle example should tell you it has more to do with the guys on the pitch and the manager.

Aston Villa is another example.

They said the relationship between Glazers and the fans is what is affecting the players. Another thing affecting the team is that Glazers has refused to spend out of their personal money

Ellexy:
How one person take turn to we the fans?

Read the room na. Our numbers are growing by the second

Ellexy:
Who is we?

We fans na

larride:
As I read Glazers for the first sentence, I skip the rest. 😂

LMAO I was actually expecting this Glazers angle soon

Yes we're back to blaming Glazers

dreamxhaser:
This is the 25th time Mount has played as a CM in his entire career. Let that be a reminder that he is not a CM, never played in a system like ETH’s and will take some time to get used to this play style and even though he is not a fancy french name we should back him before questioning him. If you can beg for Lindelof to play CDM you can hold your opinion fot sometime to let Mount thrive at CM.

I just have two questions.
1. Did Mount play CM yesterday?
2. What's his best position?
