Say what shocked, so we should carry Shaw and Telles enter new season huh
This is my issue, average players..

Bro there are other transfer windows for that, we have bigger issues in the team, the deal will only make sense, if we are able to ship out either one of telles or Shaw at a reasonable price... wanbisakka and dalot is a calamity, there is a reason we don't ever attack from the right side and we clog the left side of the pitch

The same summer where Sterling is going for 45million with one year left in his contract and Leeds are getting 65million for Ralphina, 50million for one of Ajax youngest prospect who they don't want to sell should not be giving you headache.
That's my issue, look away.. Antony isn't the only winger out there.. Antony and sterling are not the same level raphina is prem proven and bigger are more physical.. go watch this same guy against the malacia we just signed, man was marked so hard he got frustrated and got a red card.. is type of wingers are getting outdated self.. inverted wingers are what we should be aiming at, who can add goals to the team.. we have other pressing issues like RB instead we bought a left back we don't even need..

It seems you don't understand...the club had always signed their targets not the coach target...for example Mourinho never wanted Bailley, Sanchez, Pogba, etc
who told you that, Mourinho infact wanted pogba as his primary target.. the club don't just sign, they suggest to the coach, and the coach chooses the target he wants

Extract from the article for those interested




"""In 2020, Ten Hag praised the Catalan coach for the work he was doing at City but did not refrain from pointing to one mistake his former overhead made during his debut season. Speaking to Voetbal International, he said: "Only once in his career has Pep made a mistake – in his first year at Manchester City when he completely underestimated the power and speed of the Premier League. “He realised that you can't play the kind of football he loves without having a couple of physically strong athletes – and so he
brought them in.” He added: "So he's not a stubborn coach. Yes, he is stubborn in his philosophy, but not in the execution. And that makes him
the best. Nobody will ever forget Guardiola. "He has won so many trophies for a start – but it is mainly about how his teams play. Guardiola only wants to win games with
beautiful football, just like his teacher Johan Cruyff." Aside from the fact that he had a pop at a City manager, United fans will be pleased to hear these comments ahead of Ten
Hag's Premier League debut. He recognised even then that top-flight football in England is a different beast to that played on the
continent. Ten Hag identified an error that so many great managers make when they first arrive, meaning he will be able to tailor his
philosophy and recruitment to suit the cut-and-thrust of the Premier League accordingly. As a result, his ‘bedding in’ process might be shorter than expected meaning the United restoration process can move along at a faster rate.""""

look at his targets, are they the physically strong specimen he suggested here?

His ex players are pushing for the move because its United and they'll probably double or triple their current pay at ajax

So in summary what you mean is you don't want the board to get the coach his targets rather whatever players the scouts suggest?

E be things.
ETH can suggest players, but they should be scrutinize, imaging paying even 50m for Antony

na sit down look i dey, but if it doesn't work, we will have another set of overpaid talents, we will be looking to offload..

My issue is we re paying premium price for these players

Since when Alex Ferguson retired, the board has be the one making signings, where did it take Man u?? Europa League!. You guys keep complaining of Maguire, who signed him? the board managed to convince themselves that signing Maguire for 80m pounds is a very brilliant idea, where una dey now...

Dey complain of 5'9 defender when you carry 80m sign one 6'5 log of wood
this is false.. infact from van gaal to ole club has signed their target, even if not first choice.. this man is doing what van gaal was doing buying Dutch players or players he's worked with, in the end non of those players are here anymore..

You have one of the best coach in Europe and instead of supporting the board in allowing him build the team according to his image and philosophy like Pep and Klopp did at there various clubs you have been here constantly moaning for the past 2 days. Some people don't deserve good things.
bro you can be a good coach but it doesn't mean you're d best scout.. before pep splashed money, he played a season n te league and saw d kind of players he'll need. This man thinks d premier league is d eredivise.

This guy is buying average players, and we are paying premium prices.. imagine buying anthony for £65m when luiz diaz was half that price.. antony is like amad in size.. at ajax he didn't do recruitment, the club did and he used what he got..

Am I d only 1 who don't like this direction of supporting eth with whatever he wants, heard the recruitment team wanted Paul torres but he wanted martinez and they are doing whatever he wants, the problem is if he fails here, and the next manager don't like his target, we will be in hot mess..

I don't know who likes a 5'9 centre back.. infact we re overpaying for his targets
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ovoP(m): 8:56pm On Jul 07, 2022
ETH doesn't know how to identify talent, which 1 is Brian brobbey again, I don't like this is ex players agenda, we are about to overpay for martinez and Antony who I don't even really fancy...

After I saw those Partey rumours, I weak because the way we were chasing Savic so fast, they may not play together. If Partey is guilty, Arsenal will terminate his contract.
partey been guilty will take years before dey prove it in court..

Greenwood is still under contract in United.

That's if they don't turn on him first as they did with Rangnick after they have guaranteed their place in the team
ragnick bleeped this squad up, people keep shying away from it.. you can't come mid season and expect a team that has not played pressing football for years to start pressing immediately. I like were Carrick was doing, he was playing to the team strengths, which was surrender possession and Counter attack.. ragnick isn't a bad coach, but a bad manager..

After watching ETH training clips with our boys, all I have to say is 60% of our players enjoyed being lazy and they can't keep up with ETH training pace this time around..
relax, nobody just gets up and start running. They've maybe not been doing training of that intensity, and it takes time to build your fitness level to the stage he wants them too.. with time they'll adjust. It's like playing football after a long time, you easily get fatigued after more games, you build your fitness level to be able to play 90 mins

Partey will continue to play for you guys until Investigation is concluded like bissouma. Greenwood was only suspended because of the photos and audio online.. and public cry.

that was the similar style VDB was playing when he arrived, the reat just couldn't keep up with him

Kyrgious is such a divisive character. The Mario Ballotelli of Tennis. Always complains and scatters his opponents composure. That's how he managed to beat Tsitsipas in 3rd round angry

I hope Christian Garin beats him tomorrow but Nick is such a good player with such a wonderful first serve.
kyrgios is a talented tennis player.. check d odds against tsitsipas, he was favoured.. he's a better grass player than tsitsipas. If anything kyrgios spoils his own game by complaining too much instead of focusing..

Kyrgios can beat nadal on grass as he is 3-1 against nadal in his career , he's 2-0 against djokovic.. he's beaten nadal at Wimbledon before.. but he spoils his own game most of the time, like his last match that went to a 5 setter.. if he focused, that match would have been over in 3.

IF!!!
That's the keyword here. If rashford does pick form against next season, then we can finally have him play on the left and Sancho on the right. Rashford isn't a CF, y'all shouldn't make him one in your heads.
but sancho did not impress me at all last season.. 3 goals and 3 assist from the left last season.. rashford with the bizarre season and bench time still scored 3 goals.. rashford with is bizarre showing would have had a better output from the left last season

Manchester United is the only team in the world that would go all out to get a player who is more comfortable playing Left wing for their vacant right wing. There's no way in hell the scout didn't know this fact...... but no, the management wanted to sell shirts.

Looking at the picture below, I just wanna say nothing. My sanity is more important
sancho was RW at dortmund.. he played there most of his time there..

he never really hit form.. besides was pushed to the right too often cause sancho was perceived better on the left

sancho started on the left because rashford was injured..

Cristiano Ronaldo is really happy with some of the players in the #mufc squad. He's convinced that six or seven important players are needed at United #mulive [@FabrizioRomano]

This is so visible to the blind, maybe its the reason United don't want to blow a sizeable amount of the budget on a single player. The Team need a good CM and Holding midfielder, a RW and a good CB.
how many teams buy 6-7 players per window... it's one thing to bring in players, it's another thing to bring in good players that fit the coaches system.. this is a project, you don't go from shit to world class in one transfer window

His reason for wanting out is the club's failure to sign good players so far, even Erikson is waiting to see United signing before deciding to join according to report. It's been 2 months yet no single signing, Ronaldo has every right to be worried jare....

Can our United team go past QF in the Champions League? Over the last 9 years, the answer is no.

Ajax have been miles better than us. Ajax would actually laugh at being called “United Pro Max”

We’re an extremely mid side at the moment bruv. Let’s stop all these delusions of grandeur please.
the semi final squad was great and it had better talents.. the 1 of last season, although deybwere scoring goals were not all that..


I'm not saying ajax is bad, I'm just saying this is Dutch and eredivise players agenda, can comeback to bite him... this is not the eredivise

Yet he wins 70% of his aerial duels...What iswrong with Antony?
nunez jumped over this guy to boot ajax from d champions league.. I like him but maybe as a dm, not centre back.. in epl the smaller teams focus on set pieces, you don't have to win alot of headers when you play ajax in the eredivise.. Antony is not worth d money dey call for him, coupled with d fact that he's small in stature..
