patrickmuf: You can see the energy Benzema brought into the game immediately he came on. And he’s about a decade older than Ayinde M. That team lacked some regular starters. Varane, Kante, Mbappe, etc. Their group has too many draws - 8 out of 11 I think. France still favorite to go through though they’ll fall behind Finland if they win their 2 outstanding matches. |

Unpopular opinion but if i am Ole,I will prepare James Garner to take over the DM position and trust him with it . Mount, James, Saka, Smith-Rowe, James Justin of Leicester all these players came up from loan and bagged important team roles in their teams. And the lad is 20 thats not much of a young age if you ask me. Afrodoc1 |

CapitalCee: None of the ones you mentioned is a DM. That position requires lots of nous and experience and not just talent or potential. Garner had a poor 1st half of 2020-2021 season on loan and a good 2nd half. Let’s see what he does this season on loan. The only thing is I would have preferred him going on loan in the EPL. Looking at our senior options at DM if we intend to move to a single DM 4-3-3 then the interim fix sadly has to be McTom. He is not a DM but at least he has the legs that Matic does not have and the size and physicality that Fred does not have. We can then address the DM question in January or at the end of the season. 3 Likes |

afrodoc2: I feel you. We have to live with McFred this season. But by next season, we probably would have lost the EPL, Ronaldo would be a year older at 37, martial would still be ice cold and OGS would not have learnt anything. We watch. 5 Likes |

afrodoc2: I was thinking Garner will get an EPL loan this season to see his game, I watched Declan Rice cement a DM place in west ham in 18/19 season, he was 19 .That our DM position needs filling and quick, our last 2 games was an eyesore, we may drop vital points. Ronaldo might not accept that kind of performance going forward. Considering our attacking options, it has to be a single DM and if Bruno will have to drop deep to accommodate the attacking options, we actually need a very disciplined player in the DM position because Bruno will always have the urge to push forward. 1 Like |

codedguy1: On this subject i have passed the stage of frustration to the stage of equanimity. By not getting a quality DM they are about to potentially waste 1 year which may or may not be the last productive year of CR7's career. We are always delaying things. By the time they get a DM Ronaldo might be 37-38 and the opportunity gone. People that don't understand are turning this into a debate on whether Amaka is a good manager or not. It is actually the fact that Amaka is not good that makes getting a DM so important. What the elite managers can get away with (in terms of squad deficiency) he can't get away with. He needs all the help possible to win titles because he is a limited manager but the lack of a DM should not serve as an excuse for his fan boys if we don't win those titles. After all the hole in the DM position has been magnified mainly because our manager appears incapable of finding a tactical solution. 10 Likes |

CapitalCee: Cementing a DM position at West Ham and at Man Utd are 2 different things. West Ham can lose 2 straight games 4-0 and the heavens won't fall. DM and CB are the 2 outfield positions that require the highest levels of understanding, reading of the game, focus, consistency. If we switch to 4-3-3 with single DM then Bruno has to work extra hard to keep his place in the team. The others are more natural CMs than him and i would take Pogba over Bruno in CM. 6 Likes 1 Share |

melodyogonna:Why were most folks disappointed in him last season? Does it not imply that there's more to his game which we have seen even in the United colors? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CapitalCee(m): 7:33am On Sep 05, 2021 |
afrodoc2: That DM we didnt asdress this summer might end up haunting us, I just pray one of Fred/Mctominay just pick form this season Bruno mustn't be a CM in a 4-3-3 with a single DM. Except we will play with 4 attackers, or 2 CMs. Bruno is the AM with a solid DM and CM, Bruno is the only player to slot into that AM like Muller. A big team like united need an attacking Midfielder that is always among the goals, eg Paul Scholes yes Ronaldo will make us more dangerous but Bruno scored 28 goals last season stifling that is not the best |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by patrickmuf(m): 7:37am On Sep 05, 2021 |
Garner should be ready to deputize for whoever we will as DM. He looked very good in his return to Nottingham Forest against Derby...He is already a better passed than Fred and McTom, he just needs more experience which he is getting ATM. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by patrickmuf(m): 7:41am On Sep 05, 2021 |
CapitalCee:Without a solid DM, we will need Bruno and Pogba playing more like CMs to help us retain possession and maintain a good shape in midfield...Bruno scoring so many goals is down to our forwards no being prolific. With Ronaldo, I don't expect Bruno to continue domi acting the goal scorers chart for the club, he has to take up a more withdrawn role and allow the forwards do their thing... |

patrickmuf: We are saying the same thing, Bruno needs to take more withdrawn position for now, thats the reason why we need a solid DM to allow him freedom to join the attack occasionally especially against lower opposition |

glimpse33:Clap For yourself, which recent Champions league club use just a single DM without good CM. Bruno and Pogba are more of forward players. Madrid won with midfield trio of Kroos, Casemiro and Modric who all contribute defensively same with chelshit, even Bayern had hard working Leon Goretzka, Thiago and Muller. 5 Likes |

patrickmuf:Folks here have been disappointed for many seasons. We know he can offer more but he rarely seem to push himself hard enough. He is too inconsistent to have set any height we have come to expect, but it's always disappointing to see his season end poorly because we know (or think) he can offer much more |

CapitalCee: I think thats a bigger risk than moving Pogba into the double pivot. I think CR Sancho Bruno. Greenwood Pogba McTom. Is our best option for most games for now. I would not go 433 with the current squad as we don't have the personnel. I would not like to risk Bruno's carelessness in possession in the middle of the park as I think you'll remove all his strengths as Portugal seem to be finding out. |

melodyogonna: Martial was unfortunate to play under Mourinho at such a crucial stage in his development as an attacker, coupled with the other off-the-pitch issues he had that period. In hindsight, having to deal with divorce at age 20, amongst having the No9 issue with Mou, and the barrage of criticism coupled with a later bumper increase in wages have all likely contributed to what we see now. Trauma changes people, some positive, some negative. There was a time seeing Martial warm up to come on to the pitch would generate a lot of celebration amongst ManUtd fans. He literally brought life to our attack as a 19yr old. That was what created Martial FC. This is why Greenwood’s England scandal had to be managed well, because if not done well, such delicate situation could completely turn his career in another direction. Southgate mentioned he wasn’t called up during this international break so he can focus on his football development and not get thrown out in the open like before, despite his awesome performance last month. Dele Alli also had similar issues with Mou, but he’s already 25, so I presume he handled it better than a 20yr old Ayinde would. Olé has tried to ‘resurrect’ that 19yr old Martial we fell in love with after his debut goal against Liverpool, but it’s not just working. Even went ahead to give him back the No9 Jersey, still nothing. ‘On’ today, ‘Off’ tomorrow, too inconsistent. Our Thierry Henry is gone. There’s not much anyone can do at this point, other than hope, because if Haaland arrives at United next season, that No9 jersey will be given to him, and Martial possibly sold if his performance doesn’t improve. 5 Likes |
