Rafael van der Vaart: "I talk about Harry Maguire so much, so I try to avoid him. But he is really s**t. I have said this so often. I can't get away from the fact #mufc have paid €90m for him. That's how much he cost!" #mulive [@ZiggoSport]

Rafael van der Vaart: "Where did they look for him? You'll find players like him at any amateur club in Holland. I think it is unbelievable. He is no top-class defender - and he demonstrates this every week." #mulive [@ZiggoSport]

Ralf Rangnick told Man Utd board on Monday he’ll accept this interim job only if future ‘consultancy’ with power on club choices will be included in the deal. Man Utd are prepared to accept this condition.

Talks now on with Lokomotiv as advanced by The Athletic UK.

- Fabrizio Romano

Wow, what happened to the board? Where they all hypnotized or what?

This development is very interesting for the club moving forward considering how they operate.

Out of those 3 you mention that can flourish, only 1 knows how to play footy to a large extent. The other 2 just knows how to fun about on the field, no special skill from them.

It's a pity that those 3 that might struggle get the talent but are lazy. Greenwood should flourish also sha

Yes I believe Greenwood will be fine, he needs a proper coach.

Searchingvictor:



We still need to contest for the league, can his style get us that or we should just write the league off.
And I don't think he'll buy any player come January

Just write the league off.. Maybe cup competitions because his style of play will take a while to implement. Pressing is an innate thing like Ralf explained so he needs time to make it second nature to the players.

abeg let manU contest for UCL... u can do it

If Rangnick comes certain players might struggle to adjust to his style. People like Martial, Greenwood and Pogba might struggle while Lingard, Sancho, Fred might flourish. Even Ronaldo is not ideal for his style but he is the GOUT so can't be dropped.

Funny enough, Ronaldo presses more than Rashford which I find weird.
I think Ronaldo while not being able to press individually can do a job in closing down passing lanes when it involves the unit. We already know his benefits

Once again, are you sure if the bolded? Think well before you answer.

In any... European final.

So we're joining the list of clubs with a German at the helm of affairs...

Second half of the season is going to be so interesting.

Greenwood is gifted but needs to work on his work rate and pressing. Rashford used to work hard off the ball until about 2 years ago. Martial's work rate has always been poor.

Cavani, Bruno, Sancho, Lingard won't have any issues with pressing.

Please these guys on Guardiola argument should stop already, you're wicked boring. Besides I don't see how that's relevant to this thread but you keep going forth and back making the same claims you made to each other months ago on the same topic. Una no dey tire?

We're in the era of German coaches now. It's their time to shine

nitrogen:


Martial can fuvk off, looks like Pogba will leave soon, so I really don’t care. I really worry for Greenwood, he needs to be ready to run around and press, thank God he is still young, he can easily change that aspect of his game.

Ronaldo? TBH, if only one player presses less out of the forward and midfield players, and the same player is deadly in front of goal, no problem at all.

Now that Ole has left i don't really worry for Greenwood. He might struggle initially but that is because of his defective football education so far but his talent will buy him time and opportunities. In the long run i think this is exactly the kind of situation he needs in order to develop.

Rashford stopped pressing as he got older and bigger. Whether it is his bigger body or it is his bigger status only Ahura Mazda knows.

They main person who does not suit the style is Maguire. Shaw, AWB, Bailly, Telles, Mengi should all be able to adapt.

It might be a good idea to recall Ethan Laird in January.

Contest what league? Please, The league is long gone. Our best bet now is top 4. I dont see any january signings but next summer should have a clear out. if we're lucky Maguire will be thrown in the bush.

Ralf Rangnick on Man United's defence in September 2020: “They could do with a left-back, I know they have Luke Shaw but I'm not so sure if he's still on the same kind of level you need for a club like Manchester United." [@footballdaily]

I used to think It was because of that back injury but even this season, nothing.

Telles to the rescue and maybe shaw can be a proper 5or6

Better market

It might be. Back injuries are notorious. They might heal slowly or never at all. I remember how back injuries derailed Tiger Wood's career.
Whatever the reason Rashy stopped pressing a long time ago.

Oasis007:
On day off but believe Rangnick flew into Manchester at start of week. Rejected initial contract offer from Manchester United but received new terms and has accepted them. PSG playing hardball over Pochettino so United have stuck with interim choice.

I prefer this deal to that of Poch. I dont know why my gut feeling doesn't want Poch

Anyone that cant play it should be benched and sold. I am sure of Cavani, Sancho, Bruno, Fred and Donny

Havertz10:
when I see their list, laugh wan kill me, I hope their board isn't blind like them


Ralf Rangnick is available, he will perform wonders with that team, conte is negative, he wouldn't last but discipline will show, zidane na mugu, allegri na old School, clubs dey avoid am self, anybody that takes him go accept the guy like cursed chalice.

Ronaldo will adapt, he clearly loves Man United and really want us to win things, he also got good mentality. Greenwood is still very young and can be shoehorned, he is not lazy, he was just learning from his senior colleagues who are lazy.
Martial and Pogba can get out

Training na vibe.
