Rashford can shoot and can outrun his marker. Antony can’t shoot, can’t pass, can’t outrun his marker. He expends so much energy twisting and turning without getting anything done. Life no hard like that now. He needs prayers.

Do you think Amad can give him serious competition? It’s time he starts making a mark at United. I hope ETH gives him opportunities.

individual errors.
All that's left for the team to do is to be devastating in attack. Even if we don't score, there has to be some panic in their box that will make teams advance cautiously. If we can achieve that, we would have solved our problem to a very large extent. We can't afford to boss a game and the opposition will be most likely to score. We can't go back to the days of LVG

Onana had 90+% pass accuracy yesterday. This includes long balls to Rashford’s feet although the latter couldn’t make anything from them.

I like the moment he shouted at Magwaya when his sloppiness caused us to concede a chance. VDS was also very vocal.

You could say that we’ve gotten phase 1 sorted out with the addition of Onana.

Teams won’t press us anyhow with the conviction that they can catch us in possession and score easy goals. After 3 unsuccessful attempts (where they nearly concede or actually concede goals- depending on Rashford and Antony’s mood) , they’ll probably fall back and concede possession to us.

This will give us more control over games but then the onus will be on us to dismantle the bus that they’ll park. This is where ETH has his work cut out for him.

His tactics and his player’s profile matters a lot here. We have Bruno, Sancho and vDBeek who know how to create space inside a pack of bodies. Then, our attackers have to be more clinical. After that, we have to pick our moments of transition carefully and the execution has to be top notch.

ETH has to find a working formula. If not, e don fokop.
You guys are over rate this playing out from the back. Do you think teams will be forced to change their pattern of play against us because of Onana alone?

I am more focused on our attack and midfield because I believe they're key to how we will play. I said here last season that some of the assists credited to Man City wingers will pass for a wrong pass here because our forwards would not position themselves well and even if they do, they won't make the effort.

Some of the balls De Gea hoofs and we highlight them as wrong play will be judged differently if we have Ivan Toney as our CF.

Man United are expected to announce decision regarding Mason Greenwood’s future opening PL game of the season on August 14.

It’s only up to the club. Erik ten Hag will not be responsible of any decision, he will discuss Greenwood future right after the club.

A better midfield and attack would have seen us perform much better than we did last season than just a better keeper that can play out of the back much better. If we have all the passing from back and possession and our attack is blunt, we will still run into problems.

My point exactly...

We were very poor in attack last season and our midfield was average for the most part. It is the reason I was not keen on replacing DDG when we have other areas in the team/squad begging for improvements.

let's see how we do with a target CF.
I believe Rashford and maybe Antony or Sancho on the right will benefit from someone who can hold up the ball in attack.
Mount has been neither here nor there so far. I think we'd also benefit from an Amrabat in midfield than a Mount. he's comfortable receiving with back to goal from the keeper, a good ball carrier as well as a very good passer.

I watched Rasmus clip on twitter and I liked his pace and aggressiveness. He also wants to play with his team mates. My major concern is Rashford and Antony. Rashford thrives where there is space. If we keep possession, the other team will be forced to stay back and keep it tight. I don't know how Rashford will cope with that, when his default mode is to run and shoot

Onana was available, DDG contract expired, it was a good move to go for Onana.

Seems like they want to smuggle him in. If reporters ask him about it, EtH will ask them to take it up with the club. He only works with the players at his disposal.

I am not sure. Amad probably suits the system better than Antony as he is more intelligent and can interchange passes with teammates, i am just not sure if he has the physicality for the EPL right now. The other thing is that ETH will have a bias for Antony to succeed, or else the people will wonder why he wasted nearly 100m.

Eph12 and ChritineC, Hojlund for all his size is average in the air from analysis and clips I have seen...I hope he will improve that aspect of his game.

Yeah he is Weghorst 2.0 in terms of winning aerial battles. Big for nothing.
His heading technique in the box is quite decent though.

I want to be positive about this particular transfer. We needed a striker and we have gotten (an expensive) one. How ETH intends to use him is up to him. It's in our best interest that this one works out o. We can still do without Mount
