Steve McClaren: "Last season, seasons are gone. The history is gone. It’s past. It’s about the future and we’ve got an opportunity to create that in a certain style and Erik wants to see that happen.

“The vibe that I’m getting from the players: they want it too. They want that discipline, they want to know what their jobs are. They want feedback on it. Because they want to win.

“I’m afraid at Manchester United you have to win.”

ole has suffered.. basically saying he wasn't wasn't coach.

Ellexy:
This is bullshit. Same thing Ole told the players to go out there and enjoy themselves without a proper game plan.

Every good manager out there has a system and every player under plays to the system and plan drafted by the manager.

There's a system, but you are still allowed to express yourself.. players are not robots you program.. you play d system According to your strengths as a player..

Salah, kdb, mahrez, bernado, mane, all played their game albeit in a system, but they are allowed to express themselves..

Rashford had back to back 34+ goal and assist season for us, until last season where he never looked the same after injury.. but this fanbase, is one with favorites.. I reckon if rashford played as many games a sancho had on the left last season, he would have scored more goals self, but watch this fanbase crucify him.. coaches have a system, but you have to build a system to fit the players available at your disposal also.. ETH did not play d same type of system that got him into the champions league semi final in last season champions league, because of the players at his disposal.. he formulated a different system to suit what he had. The main thing is have a system.. under ole we didn't have one at all.. whether for the players at his disposal or not.. klopp isn't using the same system, he used at dortmund.. but 1 thing is common which is high intensity press.. the only purist currently is pep.. and he has d luxury of shipping in an out if the players don't work out..

Bro, the team that played yesterday have not played together before so, you don't expect them to be fluid...It's not that hard to figure out that the play was going to ve disjointed but then, you jist want to drive an agenda that doesn't exist...

it's not an agenda.. eriksen will never give you the defensive work bruno will give you.. bruno has made a lot stupid passes when playing for this team, but I've maintained that he does it out of desperation when d team is not creating anything.. you guys will jump on his neck for attempting a through ball if it gets intercepted, even when he was trying to create.. it's d same thing with rashford currently, he's overthinking things hence why he's finding it hard to beat players.. he's always thinking should I pass or run. If you don't let players play their ball they will lose form and confidence

He was on 25k in his former club and it was not like there was a bidding war for him. Double his salary and give him 50k. not 78k. Supposed to be is still a risk. Give him 50k and after 2 years of balling you can upgrade him to 100k sef if he is worth it.

He is not the only one. Our squad is littered with mediocre players on huge salaries. That is why we always struggle to offload players, it is not because other clubs have a conspiracy against United.

if his salary was 50k these loan clubs will still tell you to cover the salary.. we are the maga of Europe.

patrickmuf:
Go and check what his peers in Valencia, Sevilla and co earn then come back and edit your post...

See you saying 70k a week isn't huge...No be every club get money like Manchester United oh!

premier league clubs will pay that money.. spanish and Italian clubs don't like to pay.. Brighton are about to sell cucurella, they can collect him on loan and pay his salary.. man united isn't sevilla, when you upgrade from those teams to a big club, you're salarybwill always get a huge boost. Show me a big club that signed a player from a team such as sevilla porto and earn below 70k..

afrodoc2:
He was on 25k weekly at Porto. Why did we multiply his salary by 3 just like that. He should not be getting anything more than 50k so those potential buyers are being smart. He is at best a squad player for a top team or a starter for mid-level team, and he is a full back not a striker.

Zinchenko was on 59k weekly at City with their Arab money and Telles is siphoning 78k at United.

it will always be like that when you sign for a huge club... 70k isn't huge, they just see united as maga..

afrodoc2:
The evil that Woodward did lives after him. Bruv was handing out huge contracts like Jerome Udoji.

telles is on 70k.. per week.. is contract isn't even huge.. these clubs have seen United as maga.. if we were to loan mctominay today they would ask man united to pay the wages also..

patrickmuf:
Bro, it's one thing to try a pass when the chance is there and other thing to try a pass when it is not advisable to do so...

The scenarios highlighted represents one for Eriksen and another for Bruno...

are you saying bruno never attempts a pass, when d chance is there? My issue is the fanbase will erupt if Bruno put on that performance that eriksen played yesterday

patrickmuf:
Abeg stop with the rubbish agenda...

Some folks here are impossible...Love for players over the club is seeing some of you come up with ridiculous takes...

but what I said is the truth na..

LostMyZeal:
When that guy hits form, una go swallow una words surely



That's even btw... As it stands now like this, top 6 will be a big miracle because omo

why will TOP 6 be a miracle, because VDB may not be I the matchday squad?

I don't really see eriksen starting for us sha, especially high intensity game because of lack of pressing from him.. and on the ball he can be bullied also.. let's see first.. man attempted passes that didn't go through, but I saw d Intent.. if Bruno made those passes.. we would have had 10 more pages on this thread

LostMyZeal:
Nobody to blame Cr7?

What's happening

Why are we not hearing anything about Ororo Wailers


Y'all better fasten your seatbelts cos Top 6 is a miracle right fvckin now


Majority of our players are out of sorts



You can keep crying about cos Even a blind man knows ETH is here to revive that guyy

Worry more about Bruno cos VDB is coming

VDB should hope eriksen doesn't push him out of the matchday squad.

Ellexy:
He wasn't good either and he's never been good for us.

he was good going forward.. in defence he was just there I have seen worse from him..

afrodoc2:
Iqbal is already as good as VDB in any position in midfield.

VDB just points for the ball to be passed to him in a tight corner... or a spot where he will be marked.

Ellexy:
Telles on the other hand provokes me, Amad had a very good outing that surprised me.

telles wasn't bad today.. if we bin him, I hope we don't se to Chelsea.. the guy can replace alonso there..

BTW timber conceded 5 today..

Illimitable:
That’s what I expect. United should be competing.

With the amount of money spent in the last 3-5 years, we should be playing like Bayern. Does it not surprise you that no matter what Bayern do(change manager, change CEO, change kit an, change back room staff, etc), their standards never drop?

expectation , but is not the reality..m we just finished a season playing rubbish.. you cannot transition your football on 5 weeks training camp.. the ball will change as the season progressess

Illimitable:
Bayern 3-0 already.

Pavard with the 3rd goal. All these teams are miles ahead of Man Utd.

do you expect manu to play like bayern, in ten hag first season? Patience man

Eriksen this and that, he lost d ball that led to the goal, he lost d ball attempting some through balls, I don't have problem with this, because I know Is role is to create... another thing I noticed is he won't be able to press, so keep dreaming of him replacing bruno, bruno has been good defensively of recent.. intercepting and coming back to help..

Trevor012:
Pernandes is trash and useless under a system like Eth own. Now that he has value we should sell him to West ham or Southampton for 30M or there about.

how old are you..?

Bruno is not going to score many goals in this system, so our attackers better score goals.. I feel the fanbase are too hard on him.. some people don't want bruno to even attempt a pass.. bruno lost d ball today most times when he was trying to pick a through ball to either the fullbacks or striker.. it's not a bad thing losing the ball that way, what we should strive to do is win d ball back immediately... you can see it in Liverpool and City's game...Henderson, salah, kdb has lost d ball trying to find someone.. but they win d ball back immediately.

Illimitable:
I am glad you are seeing what I am seeing.

Liverpool/City brand of football looks so advanced.

United’s football is like women football compared to this.

it will come with time..

Elanga decision making was poor, but sancho would have been begging to change wing with rashford, if he played this match.. it's not like sancho isn't regularly bullied..

nani667:
They should jus pay Ajax whatever they want for Antony...

And try to secure Šeško... Cos if things remain the way they are, we are primed for another season of struggling for Europa places...

Trashford is still TRASH, Trashlanga is even worse than TRASH.. And quite frankly Martial FC is only looking good enough for cup games...

#TrashfordOUT
#TrashlangaOUT
#SackTheFrauds

you think Antony would've been better than elanga there today? Go watch my man against aggressive defending of malaria not to talk of the rugby on the pitch today.

Searchingvictor:
Like Elanga hasn't played LW and still awful?

Or where is his best position

I'm talking about this game

Cut elanga some slack.. he's not a RW... if rashford played there, we would have turned off our TV.. Fred was our best player.. we played good, and that's what matters.. I prefer malaria to shaw. If sancho played this game, he would have been invisible, the game was too physical.. sancho is even more bullied than elanga..

Carry olise away from my club.. watched d guy the few times he played last season... he's not special.. I even prefer that ebowei we missed on to palace.. he played well against us... for 35m that's palace trying to wan bisakka us..

delkuf:
What happened to Charlie Savage and zidane. Why didn't they travel. Man u have started again

we have another game on Sunday at Old Trafford.. who will play that one?

eph12:
Where did the manager say this?

We can't afford to make little or no progress this new season. I think enough has been said about this honestly

in an interview with sky when he was talking about fdj and saying that they are not many type of those midfielders in the world and all that

Clubs don't just spend money, you have to prove that you have what it takes for them to back you.. that was what Liverpool did, before dey splashed the cash.. it is what the Glazers thought ole was.. if eth does well this season, I won't be surprised if we splashed up to 200m to cover the weakness in the team when we play..

Ellexy:
So we should keep paying over the top for players because we can't develop them.

We have a coach now who specializes in training and developing talents. Manutd currently have some striking problems, we don't have a traditional number 9 who knows the art. CR7 isn't one and wants to leave, Martial is Martial. There's a clear path for Sesko to come in and nail down that spot.

This is not like the Sancho case at City or the Bellingham case where there are established senior players already in those positions.

Every player must not go to the likes of Dortmund or Ajax before they become world class.

but its trial and error.. it may turn out good or bad.. then you bin and buy again, that's why you leave that for development clubs.. if we go that route will fans be patient?

Ellexy:
Even before the game against Liverpool we were being linked. I hope we get him, he looks like the next big to happen in the striking department. Has the height, speed, technique, can dribble. I hope the club don't sleep on this.

united is not a club a player who wants to develop is career should join, unless we are going to loan him.. if he's wise, he should move to the likes of dortmund, and develop his game.. when he bangs goals there, big clubs will spend the money.. bayern hardly develops players, they just buy the best in their league.. City, Madrid etc.. if we buy him, clubs like ajax or dortmund that play good football, will not take him on loan because that's not their model, they buy and develop and sell for profit. Amad and pellistri would have been doing better if they went to clubs like that.. Sancho saw this at city and moved to dortmund, today he's developed into a better player than he was
