Karleb:
The only person I envy in this life is Sadio Mané.

Bayern won 7-0 last night. They should allow them to compete in the PL.

Bundesliga is a joke.

melodyogonna:
The team has been dysfunctional since Moyes, I do not understand why you insistently pile the blame of every woe that has befallen United on only Ole, as if he's the only manager we've had since 2013.
I decided not to speak on this anymore but e dey always prick me. Ole is done and gone, let it go man. It's not like we had a marvelous thing going on and they sacked a manager who was about to win the whole heaven and appointed Ole.

Of course, he’s gone but the effect of his poor management is still there and they are taking a lot of time to erase. Maguire, Shaw and AWB are still at the club and it doesn’t seem they would leave anytime soon.

Ole spent £130m on Maguire and AWB. Just think about that for a second. Close your eyes and think about how many world class defenders United could have gotten with that amount of money.

hensben:
Oh I see, it didn’t change the fact that English FA and ref were in SAF’s pocket then.

Or maybe United were just too good under SAF, it looked like the referees were in SAF’s pocket.

SAF won the CL unbeaten in 99 to complete a treble(the only treble from an English club in the history of football).

He then won the CL unbeaten again in 2008 to complete a double. You cannot achieve such heights without merits as you can see Pep and Klopp struggling to win CL/PL together in the same season.

Give SAF his credits, my friend.

hensben:
There is a reason foreign players find it difficult to settle in your club compared to the english ones.

And yet the best players at the club have always been foreign players.

Ronaldo
Cantona
David De Gea
Vidic
Roy Keane
Van Nistelrlooy.

Should I go on?

hensben:
Ah you still dey deny that fact, it was so obvious to veryone then. English fa and ref supporting a knighted SAF and his boys was a mental boost for the team then before any game. Winning ucl twice in 26 years is not something to be proud of. The bias then was pure politics to support and protect SAF then and in turn he patronise and promote english players.

If SAF had British referees in the pocket, did he put European refs in his pocket too?

It’s not two UCL trophies in 26 years. The first 5 years of SAF’s regime, there was no english club participating in Europe. Liverpool got all English clubs banned for 5 years.

Secondly, only league champions qualified for CL until the mid 90s unlike now when you just have to make top 4 to qualify. The circumstances were very very different then.

hensben:
Na rubbish ref with bias mind full englsih game. Man U used to enjoy this privilege under SAF hence your dominance then.

How did United win CL in Europe twice under SAF if there was a special privilege for Man Utd?

Red overturned

Allan red card last season.

Reason for giving the red was that he launched himself and he was off the ground when making the tackle.

Tripper did the same, launched himself off the ground and his kick was even at KDB’s knee but the red was overturned.

That’s the power of the British passport.

melodyogonna:
Makes you wonder why the previous manager was sacked. Or the one before that. Or the one before.

I cannot remember the last time Rashford tracked back to help the full back behind him. He just strolls on the pitch like he’s prime Messi.

English player commits a red card offence, it was reduced to yellow.

If that was Xhaka, Pogba, Fellaini, etc - it wouldn’t have been reviewed.

I hate the corruption in this game that protects British players.

It’s sickening.

Leyqute:
And KDB has turned things around.

Did you see that pass?!!!

Gold standard pass.

Tripper red card.

KDB would start picking more passes now for fun.

eph12:
Rangnick came and tried to make these players work harder but gave up. It's mission impossible

His #gengenpressing lasted only one half.

Those lazy players gave up in the next game. Working hard for the badge isn’t part of the requirement at Man Utd.

What an assist by KDB.

3-3.

KDB is a wizard.

Leyqute:


Tears inna my eye

Haaland has scored.

Bravery courage desire.

Expert17:
Lol, I will help you.

The attack was from the middle ( Henderson)

The attack was from the right side (pope)

Where was Gordon’s save that you were waxing lyrical about yesterday?

Was it in the middle?

You cannot be moving goalposts as it suits.

eph12:
The problem here is that these set of players have refused to improve their work rate. The only option here is to get rid of them. It's not that they are worse than other players in the league, but being better or more talented is not enough today.

The Norwegian fraud brought that culture to the club.

He lied to the media that his team will not be outworked and he sat down there smiling as every team in the league outworked his team for almost 3 years.

Expert17:
So he should be on his line in such situation?


Stop watching De Gea

Another elite goalkeeping by Pope today

Withdrawing back to the edge of box 6 and dictating the 1-v-1 to KDB.

If that was Henderson, he would have rushed out to the edge of the box like a möron and concede a goal easily.

nitrogen:
Not sure Utd can beat any EPL team this season. These clubs are not joking!

My sentiments exactly.

Leave talents aside for a minute. These bottom sides are playing with incredible intensity that I haven’t seen United play with since Mourinho days.

City are struggling to keep up with the intensity.

These Newcastle players aren’t better than United players but the intensity at which they play can unsettle any big side.

Man Utd players are perhaps the slowest at whatever they do unless they are counter attacking. The game play is so slow and laborious.

TrebleChamp:
Omo if Casemiro end up becoming like our other players, then it mean United is truly cursed.

Nothing changes until Maguire is sold or benched.

Expert17:
Give him the no 1 shirt @ United let's see whatsupp.
The Ramsdale that was relegated 3X is doing fine at Arsenal.

No matter what, he can't be as bad as 2011/2012 De Gea. We lost more than 10+ points because of his mistakes

When Ramsdale/Henderson wins a golden glove with a defence that contains Young(33), Valencia(33), Smalling & Jones, then you can have a conversation.

Until then, you are just wishing any of them can be as good as DDG.

Expert17:
So De Gea will start saving PK if he joins a Championship club?

The same De GEA Nigeria U17 destroyed during PK shootout in FIFA U17 world cup final?

He has been useless in PK since 2007.

This is like counting goals Mitrovic scored last season to put up an argument that he’s better than Salah.

Top division is the true test. Nobody cares about Henderson and this is why no top 6 side wanted him.

He belongs to newly promoted clubs and relegation bound clubs. That is his level.

Expert17:
Lol, you don't know what it feels like when a GK runs towards you with full speed

Charging towards an attacker and forcing them to make a quick decision while reducing the goal area is different from bn in no mans land.

FYI, Dean Henderson was voted man of the match.

Voted by whom? The same British racists.

Then you went on to show Henderson’s penalty stats when the save from Declan Rice was his 2nd time he’s saved a penalty in the PL.

The other saves were in league one, championship and under-19 competitions.

You people have no shame.

Expert17:
You want Henderson to stay on his line when a attacker was running straight down the middle.

At the edge of the 6 yard box.

School boy error for staying in no man’s land(around the penalty area). The striker took pity on him. Someone like Pirlo or Zidane would have dinked the ball over his head for pure humiliation.

Expert17:
It was the British passport that made him a nominee for Premier League young player of the year despite playing for relegation club - Sheffield United?

Rest, Henderson is far better than De Error in set pieces, distribution, sweeper role, and defence/area coordination.

Exactly. It was because he’s British that he even got nominated.

De Gea made PFA team of season when United finished 6th. You are talking about Henderson nomination that is done by a panel of British racists, I am talking PFA(voted by fellow professional footballers).

No kid in the world aspires to be Henderson. They all want to be De Gea, Courtois, Alisson.

Expert17:
He should back off in one V one situation, which will give the attacker time to think. Lol


Analyze the one he saved from Gordon....what would have happened if he had backed off ?

Mark Goldbridge was telling you if De Gea made the Henderson mistake leading to a goal, all you people would be cursing him for being a useless goalie.

You thought Goldbridge was praising Henderson?

Expert17:
It was the British passport that made him a nominee for Premier League young player of the year despite playing for relegation club - Sheffield United?

Of course, he’s better

When will Henderson step on this stage though?

Expert17:
So he should be on his line in such situation?


Stop watching De Gea

He should have backed off to the edge of box 6 instead of committing himself like a bandit.

This was a similar situation last season between Martinez and Mane.

Look at Martinez’s starting position, see where he was when he made the save.

Elite goalkeeping.

typicalgamer:
He’s not a bum
He’s not on a younger degea level but he can body pickpford and co

If he’s not on a younger De Gea level, why is he even in a conversation with DDG?

Did you see the goal he conceded today?

Expert17:
At least he didn't miss a PK like Spain's 30th choice GK - De Error

Villareal are a La Liga club, top division.

Boro finished 7th in the championship last season. One would expect Henderson to make at least 5 saves out of 8 in a shootout.

Henderson made zero saves. He got bodied by part time burger flippers and plumbers. Yet, we can’t stop hearing how great he is.

Without a British passport, Henderson would be supplying newspapers to pensioners in Oldham.

Expert17:
His high claims (taking possession of crosses) in 3 games is already more than De Gea's last season total.

De Gea 8 in 38 games.

Henderson 9 in 3 games.

We have to bin Mr Reflex.

This is the same Henderson that couldn’t save a single Middlesbrough penalty shoot out last season after you told us he would have saved every shootout from Villareal at the Europa final.

This Henderson hype needs to stop. He’s a bum!

JayKayMaybachz:
I won't say racism.

That guy can't stay fit to safe his life.. there is a reason Utd allowed Pogba went for free. His injury records was concern and the board still wanted to resign until ETH asked he shouldn't be resigned. Same ish with Bailly

He’s been fit for 6 months straight and I don’t think he’s started any game since then. If he has a British passport, there’s no way he gets treated like this.

SkySports panel were arguing this morning that should United have signed Declan Rice instead of Casemiro? Rice without a trophy in his career is being put in the same sentence as Casemiro? That’s the power of a British passport in the PL.


Is it true that United want Hakimi? If Murtough and Arnold get Hakimi, I would forgive every atrocity the Glazers have caused the club. I am even willing to forgive them for making Ole the manager.

Hakimi is possibly the best right back in the world.

Expert17:
And Dr. Jones is still at the club. SMH

What is happening to Bailly at Man Utd is tantamount to racism. He’s clearly the best defender suited to ETH’s methods.

Yet you have Maguire and Jones at the club. Chelsea should come and take Maguire. He would be suited to their low block, 3 at the back system.

Ellexy:
You can't blame anybody who doubted the possibility of that deal. Almost everyone is dumbfounded that Casemiro will choose to come to this shit show from not just any club but MADRID.

I'm happy we got him but this one is an exception[a miracle] not the rule imo.

I gave you the Dybala/Wijnadalum examples but you were so keen to underrate United’s pull.

The £80m that brought Maguire to United could have also brought Ramos, Koulibaly, Thiago Silva, Chiellini, Bonucci or whoever but Ole(the useless fraud) chose Maguire instead.

Let’s not forget United brought in Pogba, Zlatan, Mkhitaryan with a Europa status in 2016. Footballers are mercenaries. Pay the right amount of money and you can have any player you want.

patrickmuf:
Make them pay, it does not matter the amount...

I am sure there are better wingers in Europe.

The price I am seeing is ridiculous.

€100m for Antony? Is Serge Gnabry dead?
