Leyqute:
People will come here and just be talking.

The Sheiks met City as a mid table. They spent bastard money to get them to the top- not to mention appointing competent staff in different departments. And when they got to the top, they continued spending money so that they can remain on top.

The Glazers met United on top. They fidnt spend money on the club to cement its top status. Instead they took money out of it. Even worse, they appointed incompetent useless staff in important positions.

Once they turned United into a mid table team, they started throwing money at the problem anyhow. If fans didn’t protest, the Casemiro deal will not materialize.

Spent money my azz

were united midtable.. ? There's no free money, they will collect back that money, 1 way or the other.. even with all this city isn't as valuable as united.. meaning they haven't achieved their goal yet.

Leyqute:
Stop all these talks.

Calculate how much Man City’s new owners have spent on the club since they bought it and do the same with the Glazers and Man Utd.

And then let’s compare both and amounts and see where we stand.

P,S: The Glazers “bought” Man Utd way before their city counterparts did.

City isn't United.. If you buy a small team, you'll need more investment to make it big, than buying a bigger team at the top.. City didn't spend much(net spend) in this window, because dey have a good team, but a bad team will need more investment..

My issue with people singing Glazers out, is that they don't even know how the new owner is going to be.. are you telling me other club owners, that invest, are not going to get returns later? There's no free money anywhere.. it simply an investment..

We cry that the Glazers don't invest their own money, rather the clubs money, but isn't that how it's suppose to be done. It's not like they are siphoning the money out of the clubs.. they are reinvesting revenue.. later we complain man City is ruinin football when daddy shiekh goes on a spending spree.. our problem has never been spending, but not spending right.. we've practically spent more than city and we are so far from them ... I can never trust billionaires, so those clamouring for the club to sell, better hope, its one maga with too much money, that is looking for where to throw is money.. Even d Glazers want success, as it means more money generated..

You think if Elon musk, a business man buys this club, he won't run it as a business.. so business run at a loss, to take profit later..

patrickmuf:
Elanga is better on the left but he still is not ready...Garnacho has a high ceiling but he too is not ready for the big stage...

Sancho? Is he not a right winger again? Pellestri and Amad are not ready...

Gakpo is more physically developed and can be coached to play as a CF...He has a good shot on him and his finishing is very good...Now PSG are out of contention for the UCL group stage, I think his price will drop to around £25-30m which is fair...I'd loan out Elanga and possibly Garnacho as well as Pellestri and Amad.

have you watched gakpo.. the guy isn't that better than elanga.. man united isn't a place to develop talent. The guy should go to a Southampton or Brighton first. He has no flair to his game and can only beat his Man with pace.. he prefers the lw like rashford.. true is you don't need 6 extremely good attackers, Liverpool don't have that, city don't have that.. you're going to have bunch of unhappy players, especially if 1 team is winning.

You can always tweak formation if an injury crisis.. even bruno and eriksen, can play wing

patrickmuf:
So, who would you rather have us buy?

carassco.. even psv fans I've interacted with on YouTube comment sections say he's not ready.. the guy lacks flair also in his game.. what he offers, we already have in elanga and rashford

afrodoc2:
He was already on a yellow card. A ref with brain touch could have given him a 2nd yellow card.

In every thing in life one must apply wisdom. Time that ref can easily add back on the clock is not worth a 2nd yellow card.

the ball was ours to kick, if anything it was just Liverpool players that were wasting time. Trying to collect the ball, he picked it and was going to the half way line.. never a yellow.

hensben:
One is a red card and penalty.

Did you watch d game? Stop looking at still images.. the ball didn't even hit his harm.. if the ball had it his hand, it would have been a pen and red card

Bruno hasn't played badly..

Daniel james had more impact on this team than sancho, especially in big games.. that his press was very essential.

JayKayMaybachz:
Sancho is getting the LW .. that's why ETH needs Antony

Rashford and Coady can deputise.

Injuries and fatigue will come through at some point so we need good attackers at all front

i think it's d opposite. Ten hag doesn't Rate sancho like that.. rashford has played 90 minutes in each game, he subbed sancho off the last game..

Oasis007:


See as everywhere dey bubble coz of Casemiro deal. I hope it works out sha. By the way, EtH may opt for trio of Casemiro, Eriksen and Bruno in the Midfield.

If Bruno fails to buckle up and stop losing possession unnecessarily, he may end up on the bench for Fred to slot in while Eriksen goes further up.

Erikn has lost the ball more than bruno, since coming to United.

Bombblacks:
We are saying the same thing. Getting Casemiro doesn't remove Fred or Mctominay from the starting eleven unless we bring in another midfielder. That is what I am making known to the other moniker.

individually they are not bad players, together dey are a disaster

nitrogen:
@Ovop, you need to stop making blanket statements. Does not make any sense. Check the article below to understand what has been happening in our dressing room years before Ronaldo joined.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/rangnick-man-utd-problem-mourinho-25883138.amp

Well ETH wants him gone.. every problem has a solution, and whomever doesn't want to fall in line with what ETH wants will be axed.

Joezinho:
So Ronaldo is disliked and Dumbos like Fred, Maguire, Martial, are highly revered?

What a yarn.

Ronaldo has an attitude problem .. it was when he came, we started having cliques in the dressing room.. Ronaldo is not our only problem, but he's a big part if not the reason for our dressing room issues.

nitrogen:
So, when we lose games, the players should be smiling and laughing all day in training because we will definitely bounce back? I now see the reason why Rashford and co were always quick to come online and tell us stupid stories instead of burying their heads in shame after every shitty game.

Tell me how it was when Fergie and Mou were around!

You get back from a defeat, by winning your next match... you don't sulk and moan and start pointing fingers to your teammates.. that's d coaches job.. The players don't want to lose games, but you can't win all games, when dey lose, the coach will lift their spirits and they'll try to win the next game. The biggest issue in our squad now, is lack of confidence.. the players are starting to doubt their ability.. We don't have d worse squad in the league, but we're currently looking like a relegation team.. A happy dressing room is huge for success.. arteta hot rid of toxicity in his dressing room, and now has a team of players, that want to do all it takes to win..

If it were another player doing what ronaldo was doing, we'll call for his head.

nitrogen:
Does this make sense to you? The team lost two easy and only games of the season yet, and you are pinning a crazy dressing room on Ronaldo? Something is wrong with you guys. There will always be an argument in the dressing room after the shambolic displays, except you are saying that all our players (bar Ronaldo) are at Utd to fail.

the argument was on Thursday.. we lost game previous seasons, before he came, but our dressing room was never this toxic..

I like ronaldo, but he's not worth the stress anymore, we have plenty problems, and a united dressing room, will be 1 less problem..

ETH wants him gone self.. he wants to leave.. Joel glazer doesn't want him to leave. If any club makes an offer, we sell..

The problem is with Ronaldo, the moment the team is losing, it only gets worse, because of is attitude.. when a team loses, acknowledge your mistakes, regroup and go win d next game.. ororo will make others feel not good enough..

Nezzjnr:
Sources close to some #mufc first-team players say there was a huge dressing room argument at Carrington on Thursday #mulive [@samuelluckhurst]



Season never even go far oo

that dressing room will continue to be that way, as long as ororo remains there. This is why I want him to leave.. I wouldn't mind, if he was performing on the pitch week in week out..

timay1:
LoL..The thing is that they are not buying anyone. They are just feeding the media BS to make it look like they are busy.

Transfer is not rocket science. Whenever they are actually ready to sign players, they can do it in 2 to 3 days.

Negotiation and finalizing of transfers for Malacia , Martinez and Erikson didn't last for more than 3 to 4 days when we showed interest for signing these players back then. If it's taking this long, it means they aren't doing anything in the first place. Especially in transfers where there is no price dispute from the selling club. It's straight foward

I negotiation with the player.. I heard is mother is considering d son been a free agent next summer.. besides he'll be looking for huge wage, United will not want to give . Afterall if he flops, we all here will be d 1 to crucify d board for giving him a huge contract, when there is no buyer.

Greenwood at 18 had more impact on this team than sancho.. watch dat guy get bullied when any ball gets to his leg next week.. sancho should learn how to use his shoulder, to stop defender from dispossession him bernado, luiz diaz are not huge but the put there shoulders in the body of their opponent.. it's either you foul them or no way for you.. even if you dispossess dem they make it harder, and track back.. sancho is playing football like a player playing retirement league..

ChristoBam:
I didn't need to be in the dressing room to know what he said. Anyone with an IQ over 80 can guess that based on what he saw on the pitch. They became more withdrawn.

And you don't get opportunities when you sit back and wait to break? Y'all over that place bro. Brentford literally did that and trashed us 4-0.

And tell yourself whatever you want to.

our counter attacking ball we knew how to play self spoilt when ororo join.. he has lost lots of pace .

Illimitable:
Yea, they won every trophy last season after Ronaldo left.

they were not this bad.. currently we look like a relegation team..

TrebleChamp:
So it is Ronaldo's job to coach the team to play well? Ronaldo is the one that handles training schedule and select teams on match days ..

why are we blaming everyone bar ronaldo.. if ororo was dropping 8/10 every weak, I will understand.. see juve shining again after letting ronaldo leave.. their players look happy.. they won't win every match, but when dey lose, they'll regroup, not start blame each other. That's team work not I'm so good, and you all are bad dressing room.

GoddyOra:
You ignored a simple Sancho or Rashford question because you weren't sure of yourself, am I right bruh?

FYI Rashford was better than Sancho and possibly United best attacker after Ronaldo and maybe 2nd half Ericksen when we was moved higher up.

Learn to understand the basics of the game first before crying about what you know little of.

i ignored it because they both were trash with sancho worse

GoddyOra:
It is pure hate at this point. The others who didn't fall down did they have any impact in the game?

It's people like you with poor ball knowledge that makes football argument tiring for everyone.

Just a simple test: Who played better between Rashford and Sancho last game? Your reply would validate my point.

if rashford dropped that ororo performance.. we would be on his neck.. our team has issues, but it wasn't this bad..

Karleb:
...and Ronaldo is no way the reason we are abysmal.

he's not.. but he's not a team player also.. he's 1 of the reasons bruno regressed self.. always asking for the ball, even if he's not in a good position..

TrebleChamp:
So Ronaldo voodooed Trashford,. Trashlanga, Trashguire to be playing rubbish, or told your Manager to keep McTominay in this team

There's no team we're they are world class in all positions.. if we play well as a team, we will hide their deficiencies.. it's not like we were scoring goals and those 1s were letting in 1

Illimitable:
You finished 58 points because of the other players. Ronaldo played his part, did the others play their part?

If they did, why didn’t any of them make PFA team of the season?

ronaldo made that team, because he's ronaldo and strikers were not the ones scoring goals last season.

Karleb:
It's like you people work for ESPN.

The two hattricks won us 6 points. Without those hattricks, maybe we'd be playing conference league by now.

True. But if we played better as a team, we would have gotten more points overall

Illimitable:
He scored the most goals against the top 6 sides in the league.

He won the most player of the month awards

He won the most MOTM awards for Man Utd.

He deservedly made the PFA team of the season.

He did all this at the age of 37 in the hardest league in the world.

Even if you are a witch, you have to respect CR7.

an we finished with 58 points.. like I said, team sport, not individual sport.

Illimitable:
Ororo’s toxicity won him 5 CL titles.

Man Utd’s positivity won them 3 CL titles after 150+ years of existence.

I think I prefer Ororo’s toxicity.

he wasn't 37 years old then.. he can't even run anymore.

ChristoBam:
But they won the Ultimate trophy two years ago. And conpeted for last year's edition. Injuries to their wing backs for most of last season derailed their year.

Napoli has scored 6 goals already this season. With no player scoring more than one. They play in such a fluid way. Why would that team want Ronaldo?

Everyone wants a good lethal striker. But it has to be the right one. It's only fanboys that keep repeating that 18 goals last year thing.

the 18 goals in total wasn't even spread.. he had like 2 hat tricks there.. and some brace.. he blanked in a lot of games. I play fpl so I know this..

GoddyOra:
Who would play "well" in such a dysfunctional team last Saturday?

Even with his performance, Ronaldo was easily the top3 player that played last Saturday. Arguably the best sef.

Check other strikers like Messi, Neymar, Benzema, Kane, Mane just these few games they have missed big chances why Ronaldo is yet to see one big chance.

Abi you been dey expect am to score while dribbling the whole defense on his own?

maybe he'll get a chance, if he can hold d ball, when it gets to his foot and link others instead of falling a the slightest of touch
