This is something I expect from Manchester United Manager. Don't be afraid to lose some few matches to fully implement your tactics and gameplan.

Reason I am not much hurt that we lost to Brighton is because, I saw some glimpse of hope. If you want to lose, do so honorably not cowardly.

Kudos to Maresca for sticking to his phylosophy. Kudos to the board for backing him as well. Congratulations to the Blues.

Manchester United are set to close Manuel Ugarte deal… and it can be now permanent transfer.

If all goes to plan with Scott McTominay to Napoli, Man United will proceed with permanent move for Ugarte as PSG wanted.

Ugarte ONLY wants United, he’s ready to travel.

Let's take it easy with our expectation this season. We ain't gonna win the league rather we should hope top 4 finish, which as well ain't sure.

Most important to me is building a team with clear identity - style of play this season. I don't wanna see the team conceding recklessly or losing steam at last quarter of match either.

Eth ain't the Messiah we seek, hope to see him gone before its too late.

....let me add more bites to the highlight; what do I mean by clear Identity?! Just look at Brighton, from Potter to De Zerbi and to the new Manager, nothing actually change. They have got a working system, clear style of play and easier to get a manager that fits the system.

Man United have moved from no-tactics Moyes to boring tikitaka of LVG to just win tactic of Mou to God why tactic of OGS and finally to trust the process tactic of Eth.

I could see we are trying to build something under INEOS, hence I choose to relax and see how it will pan out. I know Eth won't be long here and his Heir is at the Club already.

So gonna be calm and hope they get it right this season. Get me top 4 and atleast a trophy - datsall.

odizeey:
You that I know.

You'll soon start lamenting again.

nitrogen:
Style of play? Isn’t this ETH’s fourth season? You are deceiving yourself.

Yes it is, but I have seen some glimpses aready that the coaching crew are trying to implement a clear style of play this season.

odizeey:
Naso you go talk, later you go come dey cry. 😀😀

I have written us off this season. Just wanna see some positives in the team before Eth is kicked out.

I know ETH ain't it but still gonna wait till after first 5 games to be sure he ain't irredeemable.

chrisley024:
he better take his chance now.

Now we're at the mercy of Brighton.

Jamiuokolaa:
If you also consider his replacements in the team, you would agree that it is a position that needs to be strengthened

......Amad ain't him in this half.

Amad really fúcked up with the counter.

Can this dude shut the fvckup and stop spamming ffs?!

afrodoc2:
I don't know whether it is Zirkzee's shirt that looks big or he is carrying some weight.

afrodoc2:
Until this False 9 lazzident before ETH makes adjustments. That Zirkzee looks unfit sha.

.....yeah, he looks unfit to be honest and Hojlund is still injured.

Slow Sports............LMFAO!

TrebleChamp:
For real? I have yanked him off my FPL ooh...

You made me rush enter FPL App, thank God I couldn't access it yet coz they are currently updating. LOL!

Amad lost his Mom, ain't sure he is gonna play tomorrow.

After Pellistri and Maxi Oyedele, Will Fish leaves Man United with same formula as he joins Cardiff on permanent deal.

£1m initial fee plus add-ons and 30% sell-on clause also included.

afrodoc2:
Yes. He has to keep Chido Obi out of contention first sha. Who knows what they promised that one to join the club.

Chido is hungry for success. Lad is training day and night.

afrodoc2:
Pre-season can be deceiving. It is only a few games, at slow tempo, against people who are either not fully fit or not trying hard.

I wish to see him play competitive football with first team, possibly in the league cup.

Juventus are currently in talks with the agents of Jadon Sancho, Nico González, Francisco Conceição.

Decisions to follow on wingers, soon.

Preseason tour that Zidane iqbal and Charlie Savage beasted the other preseason or the one Andreas Pereira beasted regularly?

He is just 18 and has developed a huge amount in the past 6 months so it is still too early to rule him out. Every academy player, even the best ones, has a very low chance of making the senior team.

....damn, I missed Iqbal and Savage. Really thought both get future at United after the pre-season.

afrodoc2:
That is not how they do it. You don't just toss Wheatley away cos you got Chido Obi. Most of our academy players, including the talented ones, do not have future at the club. That does not mean we dump them all. We keep the better ones and complete their football education, otherwise we will struggle to attract academy players in the future.

Wheatley is 18 and Obi is 16 so they both still have time and room to develop, grow, and prove themselves. Wheatley will most likely be here until 19-20 UNLESS Obi comes in and outshines him badly.

Obi's ridiculous goalscoring record is not a guarantee of success at the senior level.

I really wish him best of luck but ain't convinced by him during the pre-season tours.

Today's Training Session.

Wheatley will likely alternate between Under-21 and first team bench while Chido will alternate between Under-21 and for FA Youth Cup he might play Under-18. I can see Wheatley going on loan in January, while Chido is left as the main Under-21 striker. I suspect Chido will make the first team bench after he turns 17 this year, even if it is only to motivate him.

Chido won't be mainly with the Under-18s because we have strikers like Biancheri, Musa, and Kaba who need minutes. It will also be a waste of time for him to be there cos he is too big and strong for them. We need to see him against stronger players to know if he is really all that.

....ain't sure Wheatley gets future at this club though, the earlier he leaves the better for his career.

afrodoc2:
We will see. First of all, i hope he is not much older than that 18. We should send him to the Under-21 squad for this season.
With Collyer part-time in the senior squad and Oyedele's exit, they are lacking depth at CDM.

He passed FIFA U17 MRI Test, thus I believe the age. At worse he can be more than 20yrs old. I am sure he ain't signed to join first team straight up, he is gonna join U21 definitely to show his skills and readiness against next season. I expect Obi-Martin to join up with U21 too, though with Wheatley still with the Squad, its gonna be hard for him to start games. I won't be surprised if he is with U18 throughout this season.

afrodoc2:
The guy's club don cash out.

.....make the boy sha worth the cash and more. LOL!
