Is it Extreme to suggest that if we fail to win the Europa the manager's situation should be reassessed at the end of the season
Even with all the circumstances considered, it has not been good enough
What are we expecting to happen in the summer to assure that all of this will not be happening next season?

CapitalCee:
Seems Leny Yoro is worth his fee anyway.
Ayden Haeven is looking like another Solid defender. One more stroke of lucky signing in CB, we will have a firm foundation in Central defence for years.
If Amass live up to his potential, or/and Dorgu somehow doing and Evra.
Zirkzee is 23, for me the boy is a joy to watch, he may just explode. Amad Diallo is 22 now, he is looking like another one who can explode.
This is how winning teams are biult. Stroke of luck and sudden explosion of youngsters who few months prior were erratic. Benzema once said in 2021 that Vini Jnr. was playing against them, look at him now.

In 2006/2007. Rooney and Ronaldo after the 2006 WC debacle suddenly exploded into world class players. Vidic and Evra who initially struggled when they arrived for decent fees suddenly became imperious. Then there was the signing of a 34 year old Van der Sar as a stop gap while we search for a long term GK. Then after missing out on Mikel to Chelsea, we were given £16m as compensation, £14.8m was used from that money to Purchase a certain silky DM from Spurs.
Then we had very good experience players who are good but just needed that crop of players to show their quality. There were Rio Ferdinand who was already world class at that time, experienced hands like Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Gary Nevvile/Solskjaer who were on there last days but contributed massively tht season, and back from injury Luis Saha. Plus that workhorse Ji Sung Park who always shines on big occasions. That was the foundation fergie used to dominate for years once more.

This was our best eleven that season was:
VDS, Gary Neville, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs, Ronaldo, Rooney and Saha(Later Larsson due to injury to Saha). There was no major earth shattering changes or spending.
Imagine adding Vidic, Van der Sar, Carrick, Evra and JS Park did to that team, plus Rooney/Ronaldo coming of age.
Remember the previous season we were 4th in our UCL group containing Lille, Benfica and Villareal. Later went on to win the Carling Cup.
No one knows what will happen next season. Alot can change, players we don't expect can explode unlocking a lot of potentials. Even Garnacho, yes Garnacho can suddenly become good, he is 20.

For all of these to happen, there must be a solid base; a manager that knows what he is doing, a board/management that's visionary and takes the right decisions
By now, it should be clear that our problems at united are beyond manager/players because there's nothing we've not tried on that front

A lot of the managers and players that have been at this club recently were not bad, on their own, but nobody can be at their best in a struggling environment

2el:
NNPC 22M upfront

For GT or which cadre?

delkuf:
Look at what yamal dey do for Barca. If dey nor give this boy chance will he be performing at this level.

But our fans says our boys are not ready

Yamal is a clear outlier
In the conversation of the best teenage footballers ever
Whatever point you are trying to make , Yamal is not the example

Don't these players train? Apart from being dominated physically almost always, their passes are always to the wrong foot, cant dribble past opponents. Little technical details that add up and make the difference

Is it possible that pro players are this bad

MRTA7:
Yup. Rock solid defensively and very good in possession.

I discovered they are 4th in La liga
Na we be underdog

It'll take the performances of the season to defeat Bilbao

CapitalCee:
For me apart from Confidence, loosing Rasmus to fitness issues wouldn’t be a disaster anyway.
I still think Obi is not yet ready, he is very young, most strikers don’t start performing at young age, he is still very very young, a lot of our impatient and unintelligent fans will kill his confidence before his career even start, I have watched him closely at the youth team, while he is fantastic, the senior team will be a big leap for him. We need to take it easy with him, he needs one more year in the youth team, and another year on loan before we consider him for the senior team.
I have made my research and discovered that a lot of the elite/Top strikers we have today in football, started pulling in numbers at 24/25ish. Kane, Lewandowski, Marmoush, Gyokeres, Isak, Osihmen, Lataro Martinez, I can even add Vardy, Ivan Toney, Thuram, and Olie Watkins. Even the Mateta and Cunha most of our fans are calling the club to buy were not world beaters at 19/20. Infact Wolsburg sold Osihmen for €3.5m in 2019, to Belgium, one year later Lille sold him for €76m to Napoli. The story of Marmoush and Gyokeres are the most remarkable.
Some of these youngsters who are balling now will later tail off, we saw Jovic, Felix and Ferguson, Brighton was quoting 100m for him 1 year ago. That is why i dont want Delap or Etikite and their likes.

I don’t think Marmoush is a striker

afrodoc:
The bitter truth is that some of you will never learn.

The way to stop Rashford from continuing to be our best forward is to buy other forwards that are much better than him, NOT recalling him to rejoin our incompetent forwards.

I have been shaking my head at the things I've been reading.
United fans complain about everything but resist change
Very interesting set of people

afrodoc2:
He came in during the midseason and is still quite young. Hopefully he will improve significantly by next season.

I hope so too
Especially if we are going to be playing 3 atb mid to long term
Need our wingbacks to have some brain in the final third

engrelvis:
For me Dorgu tried yesterday. Few mistakes . Yes but overall he was good. Uncle casemiro shud be man of the match.

I don't know what "tried" means to you but most of his performances have been shambolic
Lots of energy, little brain

I'm concerned by this Dorgu guy we just bought
We cannot be complaining that our players are terrible and be adding more skreps to the squad

Weirdoo:
Available..

Is the Watch 5 a Iwatch 5 clone?

Leyqute:
Garnacho lol. No surprises there. Credit in the bank for the assist tho

I'm surprised that I'm disappointed he couldn't finish there

Mrviktor:
The fact that we need to clear alot doesn't mean the team is horrible.
A team that went to back to back fa cup finals
Europa league quarter finals
Carabao cup winners
Fa cup winners

Sigh

Dbrainiac1:
There's light to it. Just say you won't tell him. Even those outside the job are aware of what's going on. Update no suppose hard to give like this, chief.

What's the update chief

Oasis007:


Roy Keane: "We keep making excuses for this Man United team. There aren't enough players that can run in this team, I think there are players that don't want to run."

Gifted Newcastle almost all of the four goals today, but Amorim is worse than Ten Hag

Omo why Mainoo cheeks fat laidis

Garnacho will always ruin attacks and counters
Concerning football intelligence

Dalot has been really good recently
These are the issues
The players that are not totally rubbish are inconsistent

Results aside
Our play has really improved recently
The player/team effort improvement seems to be the major driver

Abdull01:
The package is handsome, infact it's a life change agency too, and it's a very coded place, the staff are few, you hardly know someone working there hence the lack of info, please no DMs I don't know too

Ha
My oga you know something
Give us idea of the monthly take-home at least

CapitalCee:
He has to work on his finishing

He's a good player
But not a striker

Zirkzee did not hit that well

Is it that SEC is a very coded place or the package is not good or why is there almost zero information about it here

Leyqute:
I’m expecting a heavily rotated starting XI with a couple of new faces. Mazraoui, Dorgu, Casemiro, and a few others need to be rested. Bruno needs some rest too but he’s going to play.

If we get away with a draw, it’d be a good result.

Playing without Bruno makes the chances of winning or scoring almost zero

larride:
This is not true. In DDG last 2 seasons with us,

2021/22 season: DDG had 128 saves in the league, the 3rd highest in the league.

2022/23 season: The season he won the Golden glove, he had 101 saves in the league. The 7th highest in the league.

In contrast, Ederson and Allison shared 2021/22 Golden glove and they were not in top 10 of saves in the league.

In 2023/24, Raya won the golden glove and he wasn’t top 10 in saves in the league either.

Yet when DDG won 2022/23 Golden glove, he was 7th in the saves ranking.

He became too error prone is the point. What is saves when you are constantly costing your team and unreliable

eph12:
Let's get very good attackers that create and take chances first. Onana will have the occasional brain farts but we will be fine for another one year if our attackers are feared and score goals

Abeg
Nobody does anything without a reliable GK/Defence

Hussen240:
1. Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) will share soon ( if you study engineering or any related course you can go to their HQ and submit your CV)

2. Federal University Babura Issuing of APL is ongoing.. you can still push.

3. Security Exchange Commission: The recruitment will be massive than expected. They are about to open offices in each geo- political zone

4. Civil Defense will open portal any moment

5. Almost all higher institutions that applied have been given waiver to recruit. (I'll list them soon)

What is SEC remuneration and working conditions like please?

Leyqute:
I’m counting on our quality to take us through. If we play better than we did today, we’ve got enough quality to score more goals. Amorim only has to give himself sense— start the right people, and change the underperformers quickly

We don't have any quality to score any goals bro
Without Bruno we can literally do nothing
Have you been watching the same forwards I'm watching

afrodoc:
You now see that Matic was playing 3D chess when you guys were playing checkers.

The guy played mind games on your guy, and your guy did keeper fumble.

If only Onana had kept the interview short and archetypal
If only Onana was actually a good GK

Imagine getting called the worst GK ever in the club's history and you went on to prove that right by committing two errors

Man could not even play for personal pride
Sigh
