Day 16 and no new player yet, not even a rumor.

There won't be any signings. Maybe a loan signing that's it.

There is really no need for any new signings in this window. No matter what we do we are not making Top 4 and no matter what we do we are not getting relegated.

It is more important to get the technical team in to assess the current club personnel and determine which players and coaches will be here next season and for the long term. Then, we can make sensible moves in the summer. I wrote this season off in Sept/Oct.

Afrodoc2. You watched the whole game I guess. No wonder you said what you said earlier.

The link no open. Is that the clip of Ibragimov's goals? I actually didn't see the game but i have been following him for a couple of years now. His mates are not his mates.
He is from Dagestan so hopefully he has Khabib's attitude.

Well at this point, finishing in the top 8 will be an achievement

I disagree slightly. I know it's wishful thinking but I feel only the top 3 is certain. 4th spot is open and there might be a 5th champions league spot due to the PL's coefficient. I think there's enough football to play if we can get the right loan attacker to get the 5th spot if it's a CL position. I know it's me being overly optimistic but why go through the season being so pessimistic.

Mou is available again.

Fight to get into champions league, get top 4, then proceed to get embarrassed in the champions league group stage then spend the entire season fighting for top 4 again. It's the same merry-go-round season after season. Aren't you tired? Getting top 4/5 will only hide our problems.

You're right my hope is that Sir Jim cleans house for next season and a new manager will benefit from CL funds and football.

Abeg wetyn Messi win to take be 2023 fifa best player.

He won World Cup on the 18th of December 2022 while fifa world best started counting achievement from on the 19th that’s how he won it. Captains, some fans, coaches and journalist voted. Modric, Halaand, Ancelotti and Vervelde voted for messi.

Forget 4th completely. Assanal is 8 points ahead with a game in hand. Villa are 11 points ahead. We are not getting 12 points more than those teams in the next 17 games.

Spurs in 5th position who are 8 points ahead are just about barely catchable. It is possible but not probable. If the 5th position is in play for Champion's League, then you are right that we still have a slim chance, but that chance is slimmer than peak Lepa Shandy.

P.S Realism is not pessimism. One can't go through the season deceiving oneself either. That 4th position is out of reach. Another thing, any attacker will be starved of service still. We are not creating enough quality chances for our CF. Our problem is more complicated than just change striker.

Won two Fifa award back to back for one thing. What Fifa cannot do for Messi doesn't exist.

If he took permission from the federation to come late and was granted, I can see his reason for getting angry.

Salah, Son are very important in their various club they still manage to be punctual when coming to their national team squad. This foolish keeper that cause us more harm than good prefer to come late to is National team squad. I don't know the stupid deal which him and man u sign for him to do so, he is a big fool. If I'm the coach of cameroon I will just bench the werey through out the whole tournament. They should teach him big lesson. Is your country a joke??

What a rollercoaster the last 24 hours have been for Andre Onana.

🧤✈️ He played in the 2-2 draw vs Spurs. Then, he quickly got on a flight to Ivory Coast after the game to be available for his Cameroon National Team. All of a sudden, the flight for the game got delayed due to weather.

However, he wasn't going to give up, so he made a 150-mile journey to the game by car. When he finally arrived for the game, he realized that he wasn't even named in the matchday squad for the AFCON opener.

Unbelievable 🤯

After learning that he wasn’t going to play, Andre Onana was heard saying:

🗣“If I wasn't going to be on the team, then why did I come here on a private jet.” with El Hadji Diouf seen trying to calm Onana down.

Cameroon coach Rigobert Song on why he didn't start Onana:
🗣"He arrived in camp at 4 am for a game at 5 pm."

It is reported that Song didn't even speak to Onana when he arrived.

Link is probably broken. Here’s the tweet:

(Remove the dots in tweeeeeteer)

And yes, they were clips of his four goals. It’s time to move him up the ranks. He’s got ice in his veins.

I dont think it has to be a striker but we could definitely do with an experienced attacker. But I take your point.

Onana should remain there even if he has to sit out the entire tournament. Let us see what Ten Hag saw in Bayindir that made United sign him...

If we’re being realistic, anything can still happen. Going by current indications, we have an almost zero chance to qualify for UCL. But no one knows tomorrow, and todays events sometimes doesn’t dictate what will happen tomorrow.

Until it’s mathematically impossible to qualify for the UCL, Man Utd, Newcastle, Brighton, West Ham and so on can still clinch a spot at Europe’s biggest stage next season.

Since Martial seems to be gone/going we need another striker to fill the roster spot for the rest of the season, but it won’t change our predicament.

That open heart surgery Rangnick mentioned will still have to happen. The problem is getting the right surgeons to carry it out.

Anything can still happen mentality is optimistic not realistic. Realistic is thinking of what is probably going to happen.

I wasn’t aware of the 5th place making Champions League, but as for Top 4? Forget it.

Expecting this team to win 14-15 out of the remaining 17 games while Arsenal or Villa win only 8 games is fantasy. That is what it will take.

If you look at it from Aston Villa and Tottenham’s perspective, anything can still happen is not optimistic.

I was being realistic when I made that phrase. And I wasn’t speaking from United’s POV.
