Press looks sharper

This looks like a highlight of last season. Losing control of midfield to every opponent, difficulty making passes and creating chances. We don’t have the players to deal with this 2v3 midfield. This 343 formation or whatever Amorim is doing is not working for us and he has no plan B

Amorim should be pragmatic next season and play counter attack instead of trying to be on the front foot with these crop of immobile midfielders without manourvering abilities and a toothless striker. All our opponents had to do to win or score us first was seat back, counter and take their chances.

Any small counter against us last season, the team is left with 3 defenders sometimes two to defend against like 4-5 attackers. While others would still be jogging back to recover their position.

We were compact and played better when we counter big teams but once other teams counter us we’re done except when we were lucky

It’s as if clubs hate United for no reason. Nobody wants to buy our players. They just want to loan them and send them back. If they are willing to sell, they try to rip off. It’s like a gang up!!

When it comes to stealing a living from United. These players hold on to the last because they know nobody would pay them such. All our high profile loanees might end up returning because they can’t take a pay cut and do what’s best for both parties

Ellexy:
So what's the essence of keeping him and wasting time and resources if he want last past December? Is it to repeat the Eth mistake again or what?

“Make them no talk say we no support and back the manager” that’s the reason

The club thinks it’s in the culture and DNA of the club to support anyone associated with them going through difficult times so they try to keep up. Zero ruthlessness

Goosethetruth:
Manchester united are cursed to repeat this punishment endlessly. Anyone who knows a little about football can see this except INEOS and Amorim’s supporters. INEOS because they are actually broke but masquerading to be rich. Amorim’s supporters because they are deluded and wish for the old days without the work ethic of the old days.
I actually pity mercenary players like Cunha coming in for the money. By the time Amorim strait jackets him into his system of madness he will understand that happiness is more important than money.

I expect Amorim to be issued his P45 by December then whoever comes in will demand the sacking of the players who cannot play his own system and the fresh employment of those who can.
Rinse and repeat like the legend of Sisyphus

There’s absolutely no reason to continue with Amorim. Our biggest problem is delaying to sack managers. The club is just like the typical nice guy that always wants to be in the good books of everyone. This nonsense political correctness and PR applies to the delay in getting rid of underperforming and injury prone players! Make them no talk say we do am bad mindset!!

Any EPL team that surrenders possession to this United team would have won this final even Ipswich. All you have to do to win this team is draw back, surrender most part of the possession to them to create nothing and hit them on the counter. The defenders or Onana must make a mistake that would lead to goal and if you’re lucky it would be your first attempt on goal

Score this team first and you already have 98% chance of wining the game

Mrviktor:
Man city wan kill these ones.

On a very good day that's 7-1

Missed a pen.
Missed many clear chances
Plus palace parked the bus all game.
I watched the second half sleep wan kill me


It's never about quality of player's.. in Spain even bottom team don't play that kind of horrible football.. just sit back and be booting ball upwards hoping for counter and taping

343 formation or whatever is best suited for underdogs who want to sit back with their 5 defenders and hit on the counter with the wing backs who serve as extra men on the forward line. The formation is not very efficient in controlling possession especially when you’re playing against a team that sits back and intend to counter you. This is the reason we play well against big teams when we’re underdogs and get beaten by small teams when we intend to come forward and control the game.

If you’re positionally indisciplined when playing this formation like United players, one mistake in this formation and you’re caught on the counter na 2 or 3 people go remain for your defense against like 3-5 attackers. The formation requires more discipline than other formations. I’m also not a fan of the formation

chrisley024:
he's still the best in the team. Remove him and I'd argue we'd be playing championship next season

Amad is the best in the team. Bruno is the best midfielder. Bruno has fantastic stats but he fumbles the simplest roles of a midfielder

Trevor012:
How long will take you people to see he is a fraud. Na wa sha

Oga he’s the best midfielder we have

I don’t understand the kind player this Bruno is. Deep down in your heart you rate him, but still deep down in your heart you don’t rate him

Shebi i warn una.

Stop signing players (especially midfielders) that treat the ball like grenade!

Stop signing players (especially midfielders) that treat the ball like grenade!!!

Unfortunately, our midfield is filled with these kind of midfielders; Ugarte, Bruno, Mainoo. They can’t build anything meaningful or control sh!t in the midfield. Ugarte is worse. Any small pressure he’ll run to stay close to the CB. Back pass and counter attack merchants

This Onana na basket. Who uses two hands to reach such shot

Tinubu and Wike want to secure Rivers State for Tinubu 2027

God abeg! This injury doesn’t look good

Bombblacks:
Dortmund actually wanted to sign Sancho but didn't have the money. They requested another loan but we refused.

Someone United could have easily sold for 30m. You mean Dortmund couldn’t afford that amount for their beloved Sancho? The best they could offer is another loan because they don’t want him permanently. Why bother singing them permanently when they will gain more having them on loan and at the same time have bragging rights for doing us a favour by taking them on loan? These sh!t guys would either be sold for peanuts, sent back to United or have another loan request for them tabled

Sportsweb:
You won't get more than 30m from Betis.

That’s if they actually offer to sign him. Same thing with Sancho at Dortmund, after so much hyping of they being the only club that understands his game, they still didn’t sign him lol….These guys know these players are sh!t and aren’t distracted by their temporary form. After the loan they’ll send him back to United with the excuses that they can’t afford him

eph12:
A whole Rashford is starting from the bench at Aston Villa. But some fans here think because the players some how found themselves here, they're better than players in smaller teams

Some fans think the players are automatically better than other players because they play for Manchester United. Players too also think they are world class once they sign or have been playing for Manchester United

Why this our keeper get height but still look like a dwarf. First time to see someone look tall and short at the same time

Wow so this boy is actually better than Hojlund. Retenton, link up play, runs etc

We’re officially underdogs now. Teams always knock the ball around while we sit deep and allow them to play

Any half attempt, Onana will concede

afrodoc2:
The man came to us to retire.

Well played by him. I can’t knock his hustle. Maga go alway fall, guyman go always chop.

Imagine sanctioning the signing of a 30 year old for £70m on a 5 year contract worth £350k a week. These ups fit make person cry

nitrogen:
Hmmm, there are some of them on SM hoping we relegate so we can start all over or even use it to get rid of the current owners.

How can we be 15th, as in we are not better than CRY, Brentford, Everton, Fulham etc? Not possible!

Being a big club/brand doesn’t make your team automatically better than the team of smaller clubs. Eg amongst the first choice goalkeepers of all teams, Onana should be the worse in the league or close to that

We all know they will gather and try to sack the man whenever they are ready. So it’s the players that determine formation and style of play now?

Leyqute:
Don’t talk as if we haven’t seen Garnacho start. His best game has always been as an impact sub.

Yeah I know he messes up a lot sometimes as a starter on that wing but as it is, nobody in this team can play that left wing better than him whether as a starter or sub

Garnacho wey you for play in the wings from the start. You dey overthink like woman

Respect don finish. They’ve realized we’re very easy to play against

As it is, nobody in this team can play that left flank better than Garnacho. It’s common knowledge that whenever you play a midfielder on the wings you’ll lose that bite. WTF plays a midfielder on the wings? This man should stop experimenting abeg

Jamiuokolaa:
Even if Patrick odogwu goes to LwB, i am not sure it would change this horrible style of play we are currently on with...

It might oo. At least there’s a good chance he’d cross with his left instead of this rubbish cutting in Dalot does
