Them say 36yrs old Ronaldo no dey press.

We dey see the pressing wey 25yrs old Rashford dey press. tongue

I am starting to dislike Rashford like I do Martial. Rashford's attitude has been very disgusting... he can't press and he has been acting like he's prime Ronaldo. The difference between great players and average players, talent apart, is the attitude. While players like Messi and Ronaldo play like they have never won anything in their entire careers, players like Rashford play like they have won everything in their careers.

This culture of rewarding average players with top-class earnings should stop. You bought a new player with question marks and gave him number 7 shirt.

The truth is that it was not the same Ronaldo of 2009 that returned to manutd. The Ronaldo that returned was an old Ronaldo, and i support his sale 100%.

It is wrong to say that the reason for his departure was because of the pressing tactics. Rather, he clearly didn't like how the glazers were running the club. He also felt that ten hag doesn't respect him because he wasn't scoring goals. He was relegated to the bench, and he had to find his way out.

The likes of piers Morgan and ronaldo fans must have been waiting agonisingly for a long time for this perilous time to arrive. But ronaldo's al nassr is also not winning matches.

I'm a Ronaldo fan too chief, the entire bolded is correct. I actually thought he was at the end of his career. But you really want to tell me that CR7 would not be a welcome addition now? The entire fanbase turned toxic against him saying he doesn't press, I was here and I decided to shut up because maybe they were seeing something I was not. They weren't.

I've said this before but with different words... "You can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped" Man U fans are that someone

He might not have had the legs to press and he had a form dip at the beginning of the season but his playmaking and link up play was still top notch, his pressing is still better than Rashford's and definitely he won't miss as much chances as Antony.

did pep say that?

Yeah, I saw a quote from an interview he granted after winning the treble. It was from a credible Twitter source, and correlated by other sources too. I can't remember the page, sorry.

Who expected Ronaldo to press at that age?

Was he even pressing at Madrid and Juve?

I am not sure the issue against Ronaldo was about his inability to press.

Truth is that Fella lost form and instead of trying to improve on his performances, he kinda started radiating bad energy in the team.

Fella has left for quite some time - let's move on

Why is Rashford being played out of position though when Martial is not injured. Rashford is terrible as a CF, really understands nothing about what a striker should be doing. His hold up play is terrible, playing with back to goal is terrible, pulling away from defenders and running into space is terrible, pressing from the front is terrible. And he really does not like playing there, wetin ETH dey do?

One of the most important skills of a striker that many people do not appreciate is holding play, and aerial duels. Rashford is terrible at both, always trying to play as a winger even in CF position, very annoying to watch.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by weedtaker: 10:45am On Aug 20, 2023
We really didn't play that bad, of course the last 30mins of the 2nd half was embarrassing, but we created roughly the same chances, we just have sh!t attackers.

We all agreed our problem last season was scoring goals and our answer to that was signing just one center forward who's all potential at the moment, doesn't make sense in any way, we should have gone for a prolific attacker that can play across the forward line and an experienced center forward like Kane even Osimehn?

The Mount signing I just don't understand, he has the same skill set as Sabitzer, why didn't we just sign Sabitzer for the 20mill he was available for after the loan?

Also I have noticed Ten Hag has terrible Talent identification, it's a common thing amongst coaches though, Klopp also wanted brandt, draxler and Pulisic ahead of Salah, only for the sporting director then to block all those moves and get him Salah. we missed a trick not keeping Ralph as DOF.

We really don't have a plan it's not news, the owners are just meh, the people in key positions too are nothing to write home about, the only positive thing I can take from this season is Manchester United finally getting sold to competent owners like the Qataris or whatever.

There's a way the players will play that even when they lose, it's very obvious they were unlucky and will return to winning ways immediately. But the manner in which our players play will just leave you depressed.

Madison was there, and ETH went for Mount. You watch them play and you wonder what they do in training. After all the preseason, they will always take some time to get into the season. Soon Rashford will pick form and score some odd goals,and they will go on a winning run even when they don't play well, and people will forget all the problems with the club. But the problems will definitely come back

Also, another issue about Ten Hag is.. his signings and the way he wants to play are contradictory. You can't claim to want to be transition monsters when you have an attacker like antony who's not fast and relies heavily on combination play.

When you want to be a a counter attacking team you need to have very fast attackers on the wing, cause you'll rely heavily on wing play.

You can't buy antony as your marque signing whose profile fits in a possession based team, and then turn around to sign mount the other season who's the complete opposite of a possession based team player.

we should be signing a pass master and tempo controller, this is all fvcked up.

But I think we will still get Top 4. we sha will never be a serious club until we get competent owners and football people to run the club.

it's not even about the player qualities per say, I don't think Madison will also thrive playing in this current position Mount seems to be occupying.

I don't understand how he seems to think a midfield three of ours that has zero ball retention, and almost zero press resistance is going to work in the PL, I'm even surprised we managed to have a good first half.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by weedtaker: 11:05am On Aug 20, 2023
Rashford has his own problems but he's not a center forward, doesn't have any qualities to be one apart from his ball striking, McToilet will even be a better option as a CF than Rashford.

I still don't understand why we didn't even make an attempt to get Harry Kane.

On a controller, I think he puts all his hope on Mainoo, he seems to rate him very high.

I'm not convinced on Amrabat, people glamoring for his signings will be shocked if or when he comes, world cup has probably fooled a lot of people, we should just make do with McToilet and use the money to get a cheap attacking option in the market.

Mrviktor:
Rashford always trying to dribble.
Garnacho always trying to dribble.
Anthony always trying weak shots

The front 3 caused so many problems for us..

Bruno was not sticking to his position which was why we lost that game.

See Tottenham.
See how confident bissuma was on the ball.. Going from deep bringing the ball to Maddison.

Maddison didn't have to run back to defend..
Son didn't have to defend.
Richalson didn't have to defend


But if Bruno is Dislodging himself from the ball.
Pressing from the front and back..
Leaving mount nd case alone.. It was too easy


If everybody sticks to their position we would have gotten something out of that game..

I'm. Legit happy we lost..
We should have lost against wolves as well

That midfielder 3 can never work..

And if maino is our solution then.. Even europa League we won't see.

See arsenal. Rice nd partey
See city. Let's not even go there
See Liverpool. Szobo nd Mac
See Chelsea.. Enzo.. Lavia.. Caisedo

But manutd once case is off we are finished..
Mactominay is a striker turn midfielder
Mcctominay is a midfielder turned striker reverted back to midfielder. smiley

When the attack and midfield is bad, the defense will concede some stupid goals. And the next we will here is that our defenders are bad and should be replaced. It's probably much easier to buy defenders when it comes to this club

Some experts said all Onana needs to do throughout the match is to play long balls to the attackers for quick transitions. That's why we've passed up on midfield controller

Onana is a good signing, I think that De gea performance in the final and the agenda from the media and old skool boys association made it seem like it was no.1 priority, when It clearly wasn't.

Seeing as our budget's quite limited, we could have still let De gea go and replace him with Henderson since na counter attacking team we wan turn to so. and then add the Onana money with Hojlund money to get Kane.

They want us to renew DeGea's 375k contract. For that old school GK, no wonder he can't get a club even as a free agent.

Hojuju fee + 20M is enough to get Kane, Onana didn't stop Kane from joining.
