When matic entered, did you see how he dropped in-between bailly and lindelof when we were with the ball, lindelof and bailly now are the essential cover for them full back( this was used after lockdown mostly). Now matic legs are weak and a counter will leave him panting, Fred was used in that role, but he can't control the ball to save his life and he made mistakes upon mistakes which made ole also try tominay, yet it didn't work out as planned.
Hence the now double pivot,(NB: the defenders are also sissy though).
If we can get a good and fast DM, we won't need a double pivot as this DM will play the role matic played today.
I understand you bro, the DM-CB split system during buildup is also pretty solid but it requires a DM that is good on the ball like Matic and a CB partnership without a sissy like Lindelof. Ole is working with what he has at the moment and we are more solid having Fred and McT screen and mop up things in front of the CBs. Also, Fred's energy is quite important to our build up.

I get your Submission Bruh, but do you think we can win any Trophy with the Pivot?!
Yes! we can win trophies with the pivot. AWB have improved his attacking game and we are beginning to see what Ole is trying to do. We are basically attacking with 6 players, there is a need to ensure that the guys in the pivot can keep it simple and also mop up the midfield effectively.

We can't overly rely on Cavani, he's old already. Martial?....... don't wanna see him at United again.
This is where we have been getting it wrong in the past. Players like Martial that have not shown significant growth should be sold before they turn 26, package him and move him on for around £45M. They will suit on him until no one will be willing to pay good money for him.

McFred are fùckin average. We need a solid DM. Enough of useless Pivot. United should be playing 4 - 3 - 3 next Season.

Midfield of a solid DM behind Bruno and Pogba. Also trio of Greenwood (RW) Rashford (ST) and Sancho (LW) won't be bad at all.
We play McFred to ensure that we have enough defensive cover when both of our fullbacks move up field to join the attack. I don't think Ole will ever move away from playing two defensively solid players in the midfield pivot. As a pivot player in our current system all you need to do is mop up the midfield, cover for fullbacks and progress the ball. There is a reason why Shaw is creating so many chances.

McNeill scores. 4-0 first half.
McNeill is just a born scorer, 22 goals for the season. He was quiet for majority of the first half but scored with his first sniff at goal.

They have better squads. Remeber that Under-18 and Under-23 is not about titles but about player development, hence there is no 1st team. Hence whenever rotation takes place they maintain their quality while ours drops. In particular we have very few good defenders in our entire youth set up.

For the Under-23s in terms of attacking quality for instance our best players are about the same level as City's players but once you go past our best 2-3 players they have the edge. Also their players are a bit older and more seasoned than ours. Our Under-23 defense has been a joke.

For the Under-18s our players are about as good as theirs IMO. Our recruitment for this under-18 was really good.
On point!! For about 2 years we have been recruiting top quality 16 and 17 years old from around Europe and the UK.

@ bolded for me is his best position, but my worry is him giving a back pass when he can take a shot.
Lol... e tire me too o.

He always trying to pass or flick the ball when he can shoot. Always making runs and when the ball gets to him he does something stupid. Left to me, we should cut our losses and bin him. He is giving me Klassen and Jansen vibes when they were at Everton and Spurs respectively.

We all want VDB to shine here but the man played rubbish in yet another semifinal but we wont find Joezinho anywhere to come and rant.
Na till Sunday when Ole benches him again
VdB is shiiit, I hope we bin him this summer. hopefully we can recoup 20 to 25M pounds. Man is useless, at point when he had to just turn and take pressure off the team, dude kept playing one time passes to Fred of all people.

I hope Telles was just suffering from lack of play time. He looked lethargic for 45 mins and he kept joining Maguire and Bailly in the center of the defence.

What is to trust on that useless bench... Can't you see the rubbish that Telles and VdB have been playing. the left wing is basically useless. VdB cannot run or hold the ball. United better sell the Dutch fraud ASAP.

Keep Pogba and Bruno and then sign Ndidi.

Against the bottom 12 clubs, use the inverted triangle in the midfield. Ndidi as the sole DM dovetailing Pogba and Bruno.

Against the top 8 clubs, United should use 2 DMs(one of McFred can partner Ndidi) for security. Ndidi is the best DM in the league by a distance.

Any serious club hoping to catch Man City should be signing him in the summer. He’s only 24, he’s nowhere near his peak yet and he does everything and more than McFred combined.
Leicester do not have to sell and they will ask for at least £50M.

This is also terrible business on their part.

United have the lowest amount of player sales in the top 6. If you go deeper, they are even worse than Everton and Southampton in the past 11 years.

Chelsea have made £707m in player sales, Liverpool made £552m but United could only boast of £291m sales in the past 11 years. Glazernomics is actually harming the club, not helping it.

However, through the United media machine that continues to lie to the fans, we overrate these parasites. All they do is dishing out contracts to players past their peak that nobody wants.

Explain to me why Jones hasn’t been sold. He’s barely kicked a ball in the last 3 years and the Glazers gave him a juicy contract for nothing. United are 8th in player sales. Shitty clubs like Southampton and Arsenal make more money selling players than United.

Are you sure the propaganda is BS or you have consented to Woodward pulling a thick wool over your eyes?

The mind boggles.
From a business perspective the propaganda is BS. People need to understand that having debt as a business is not really bad provided there is no cash flow problem/shortage of cash for taking care of current liabilities and opex.

The club traditionally do not recoup huge amounts from player sales because of out strategy of buying experienced players over 25, blooding academy prospects and taking a risk on wild card young players that are usually not up to par. This is unlike Chelsea that is operating a massive loan system that generates a good chunk of income from player sales.

To me the only issue the Glazer had was not employing a proper football man to take care of player acquisition and contracts negotiation, and these have been corrected some months ago.

Who is this football illiterate typing nonsense?

The Glazers have not spent a single penny on Man Utd. Man Utd was a debt free club in 2005 generating around £400m in revenue every season.

Man Utd was big enough to pay its overheads until the Glazers heaped a hefty debt on the club which has cost the club close to £2 billion. Imagine if that amount was spent on players instead of interests and repayments?

The Glazers don’t spend a dime on United, they take money from the club in dividends instead. This whole notion that the Glazers are some savior that rescued a dying club in 2005 needs to be put to bed.
You are the only one propagating this notion... lmao!

Yes, the Glazers took over the club using a leverage buyout that heaped a debt of about 600M pounds on the club,but they didn't break any law. The UK govt should have prevented the move but they failed to do so.

Whatever you say about the Glazers with respect to their handling of the club do not forget that they implemented an aggressive commercial push that increased our revenue substantially. Although the yearly 25M dividend payment they receive is a bad look for them when compared to other owners.

Idk what the hell is going with Ole and VDB..The team needs rotation but the clown just keeps giving us McFred..
You are the clown that do not understand that it's difficult for most players to adapt to the EPL when they move from the Dutch league. There have been articles about VdB knowing upfront that he might be blooded slowly into the first team.

Redondo 1999-2000

Redondo was a majestic midfielder. El Principe.
Yeah!

De Lima scored a hatrick in that game. Fergie had a lot of trouble playing against them top teams in the UCL, From Seedorf/Kaka inspired AC Milan, 97/98 Dortmund, Ballack Inspired Leverkusen, Madrid (mentioned above), etc.
