It will be hard for Greenwood to return. Booing from home and away fans wouldn't let him breathe on the pitch.

I really want him back, but sake of his mental health, I advise he seeks loan to a Club outside UK in general.
It's those fvcking pictures and recordings. It's impossible to recover from that.

Haha, wahala! I don’t think it makes sense to have a ‘75m plus 10m in add ons’ player as an understudy to anyone. He needs to hit the ground running.
He wasn't supposed to go for that amount. I don't know what made everything go sideways like that. He's definitely overpriced.

Tbh, I see him struggling initially. But he'll come good eventually.

I definitely know the way he's being talked about now isn't the way he was at the end of last season. He was supposed to be one that'll get a few games here and there. Similar to what he was getting at Atalanta. He's not close to the finished article in any way.

some deals are for business purposes and nobody really knows the future. Gift Orban is putting up serious numbers and has appeared from relatively nowhere in a very short span. if we get him now for around £10m-15m, covering a part of around £35k weekly wages while he continues his development on loan, there's no way we will take a loss on this business. he'd be akin to selling any of our academy players in the first team now.
Antony and Sancho is a certain loss if we decide to sell either now or in future and let's be honest, they will never be consistent enough to be world beaters. Amad is still uncertain if we'd take a loss or at least recoup there. the only sure profit, albeit marginal at the moment, is Pellistri.
if Orban moves on loan to the EPL and put up good numbers, we can move Rashford on while his stock is peak. the squad is younger and wage bill is reduced without a fall off in quality.
same model should go into other positions.
Amad is not certain but even Gift Orban is not certain. It is not a bad plan if the money is there to be spent but we need to sort that midfield first.

All our reliable midfielders are close to 30. In 1 or 2 years they will all be finished. If we need to spend money on potential stars we should spend it on midfielders instead of overloading the attack with young players who will only stand in one another’s way.

He doesn't and we can't afford him. Just saying all that cuz some were laughing at the idea of getting Kane after getting Hojlund, even if we could afford him.

Our target next season is top 4 and a trophy. League's looking like it'll be bloody.
Our biggest problem from last season wasn't our defence, it was our attack.

Our GK won the golden glove and although we conceded astronomically high in 2 games, only Man City and Newcastle let in more goals than us.

On the other end of the pitch, we were very poor. We under performed our xG and scored less than everybody in the top 6 plus Tottenham.

Adding Harry Kane or any prolific goal scorer will automatically take us higher. It's either that or Antony, Bruno and Hoijund put on their scoring boots (at least 10 EPL goals each). We can't continue to rely on Rashford to be our goal scorer. It won't take us up there with City.

Bruh tbh, all these things no mean anything. People in marriages can even suffer crazy abuse. That they're engaged and got a kid and all doesn't mean much.

Since I saw the pictures and heard the tapes, I knew he'll probably never play for United again.

It's not an end of the world. Might be a new good start sef. He needs to go to a Italy or Spain. Should probably avoid Germany.

Women groups will protest Sha. It's better to be prepared for that.

Let the club announce his return, then you'll see the fury of women rights groups. And can you blame them? They stand against the abuse of women. Then witnessed such an high profile case via social media. They won't let it go just because it's been 'settled'.
All of them should go and sit down. Women arise isonu. Shey Greenwood babe never forgive am? Wetin come be their concern for the matter? Abi e follow abuse any of them?

Hehehe. If a club mistakenly signs you nitrogen now for 100m pounds it is on the club not you. You didn’t force them to pay that amount and paying 100m for you won’t magically or miraculously endow you with Haaland or Mbappe level talent.

The guy is a 20yr old boy with 9 Serie A goals. Let him breathe. All queries should be directed at Messrs ten Hag and Murtough.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 12:11pm On Aug 11, 2023
I doubt Greenwood wants to even stay. If I were him, I'd ask for a move even if the club wanted me to stay. No be them go go through mental torture away at Ellan Road.

Greenwood messed up big time. He won’t be allowed back, women are quite powerful. I also blame the girl, she probably knew that they would resolve issues but she still allowed the adrenaline in her to not manage the situation well. Both of them are losers!

Nb: I am not against anyone speaking up, just saying if you are still invested in the project, then find ways to manage situations like this.

How Bruno or Eriksen didn't get up to 15 assists last season still shocks me..We were extremely wasteful last season, I could even argue that we were the most wasteful top 6 side last season..Just remembering the Spurs 2-2 draw sef now dey vex me, people wey suppose dey collect like 4-0 first half from us..

We all should be praying for Holjund to hit the ground running..If we took our chances last season, we'd be better than we were..And that's my hope this season, Oluwa bless our boots abeg..

This. We definitely overpaid for him.

He only started about 20 league games and managed to find the net 9 times. Atalanta didn't rely on him much to score goals. Ademola Lookman was their highest scorer.

However he's definitely a huge bag of potential. But the only way his price tag won't be a constant topic of discussion is if he delivers.

The evidence against him was public. I remember Ray Rice of the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL that was caught on video knocking his girlfriend out with a left hook in an elevator. Even though they stuck together and got married he was forced to retire at age 27 cos no club wanted the heat.

True! I am not blaming the player though. Of course, it’s on ETH and Murtough. I guess ETH believes the boy is closer to Haaland and Mbappe than we think. So, he must get the boy to hit the ground running.

Physically in terms of height, strength, speed he is almost Haaland’s equal but Haaland has superhuman agility, determination, finishing, movement that I don’t think this boy has. We just need him to be decent, score 15 league goals and be a good target and link up striker, press like crazy. That is enough for a first season.

he'll score more than 15 goals easily. his finishing need improvement, but Bruno will be on his case.

Tbh united can't be epl title contenders this season. We just gotta focus in UCL and try to secure top 4.

I swear if we can reach UCL semis this season, una sef go believe the kind upgrade the team will get.

Amen o.

We usually create at least one big chance in the first 10-15 mins of every game. If we put those chances to bed we won’t drop as many points as we’ve been dropping.

Well the girl can put out a statement or something. Both of them should do a joint press conference, it'll help in some way.

You thought we will just jump right into competing for the league because we have spent 400m plus? If we manage to be in competition for the league with 7-10 matches to go, ETH would have done well in my opinion. We still need to get the team playing as a team first, and that the players remember that the match starts from the zero minute for every match

The damage has been done already. If the girl and Mason were to do some damage control it would’ve been mins, hours or even a few days after the leak.

They allowed the issue to fester for almost 2 good years. It’s sealed already. Their silence on the matter decided their fate. There’s nothing they can come out and say now that won’t be spun into another thing.

Now Chelsea is going for Amrabat, he want United only according to reports. But if Ten Hag no make the decision to sign him soon, he might just be heading to Chelsea or any other club. £25m is a steal, United should pls do this deal or get me my Bruno Guimareas for any amount.
Same Klopp that was ranting when United signed Dablord for £89m that year, just signed Caicedo for £110m.
It will be interesting to see how we cope if we don't get new quality midfielders

OMG. Caicedo rejects Liverpool for Chelsea.

Eggs on Klopp’s face! He just admitted he was wrong for criticizing Pogba’s transfer fee to United to justify Liverpool signing Caicedo for 111m.

ALWAYS CONCLUDE AGREEMENT WITH THE PLAYER FIRST!

Murtough and Manchester United learned this lesson the hard way with Frenkie De Jong last season. grin

Our defense isn’t made up of De Gea alone, yu know. If not for De Gea sef, we would’ve had one more clean sheet.

Only God knows how he fumbled that back pass from Benrahma vs West Ham.

I was only analyzing our season based on the facts on ground. If you look at things holistically, our defenders (GK included) contributes to our attack and our attackers also (CF included) also determine how good our defense will be.

Even though Brighton got 110m for Caicedo, The issue with this deal is.

1. Any player they want to buy now, the price will be very high because that club will know that they have a lot of money now. Look at West ham, they struggled to replace Rice.

2. Players will be demanding release clauses before they sign. Because lower Transfer fees will mean Clubs will be willing to pay more in wages. And players will not want to be held at ramsom anymore
Brighton's owner is a data science believer. Dude became rich by applying data analytics in Sports betting. They research and scout heavily using a data heavy approach. Clubs they recruit players from cannot afford to request for crazy fees as they need to sell highly talented players to operate effectively.

Rashford isn't a Striker. Hojlund is a 20 years old young striker moving from Italy. Might take a while to adjust. Will even be excited if he scores 15 this first season. And Martial? Are you joking?

Do you want to compete for the league or not?

We're competing against a treble winning side. Against a better Arsenal with a very established style of play that just strengthened massively. Against a Chelsea that's massively invested in the team and now has Pochetino and can totally focus on the league. And then there's Liverpool.

But nah, let's go into the season with only a 20 years old yougster as the only addition up front from last season. Let's see how far we'll go.
If this write up is to water down our 400 million investment, e no work bro. E no work.

We want to dominate games. We do not want to look like our competitors.
