That CM combination will be coughing up the ball like a TB patient.
Bruno and Mainoo should swap positions, and if Bruno can’t play that 10 role he can move to the bench.

A fit Shaw is better than a fit Martinez at LCB because of Martinez weakness defending the flanks solo. The problem is that a fit Shaw is as rare as a dragon.

Mount whose body has been breaking down for the past year will struggle in that wingback role.
That’s the problem. I agree with you about Shaw being a better fit. But I don’t trust him to stay fit or available.

Mainoo-Ugarte also seems a better fit in midfield than Ugarte-Bruno. If Bruno gets the bench continually I think he may adjust. And he’d even become a better player. His ego of being wayward needs to be conquered for him to progress.

Or we could just do away with him completely. It’d be good to see how this team will develop without his indiscipline, tantrum, and yam pepper skatter skatter football.

After being supposedly out for 3 weeks, Lisandro Martinez is back in full training.

Wonder why.

It won’t be first time we have prematurely rushed him back.

Even this injury was picked up by the Argentine medical team not our club medical team.

Yeah saw it too, maybe the injury wasn't so serious afterall. Interestingly too, Yoro wasn't in training today.

Ruben Amorim on the lack of goals:

"Of course there is a concern in that but I think we have to improve as a team because we have quality players that can score so many goals.

"But you can feel it in the second half [vs Ipswich], we controlled the possession but we were not dangerous. Maybe because we spent the week trying to work on build-up and the rest was not worked.

"We will try and improve as a team and Rasmus, Josh and Rashford will score more goals. Even Bruno has to score more goals. Amad has to be better near the goal. All these guys need to improve and we can score so many goals.

"We don't need... you are trying to [say] I need a new striker to score goals. We need to improve as a team and these players can score more goals."

I follow for those way like this post that time. If only we could get the other 16 people to come forward.

odizeey, Eph12 and co, make una check and confirm una "likes history" biko grin

Las las, seun go publish the full list of "likers" cheesy

Preseason ooo sad

Like you said in your other post ,this season and next go sweet, Regardless
I expect the team to start showing obvious signs of improvement before February. In the summer he will have time to get his players in and get those he doesn't fancy out of the club...

Time will tell...

Leyqute:
Smart?

I’d replace Shaw with Martinez and put DeLigt at CCB even though I’m concerned about Martinez’s tendency to not cover wings well. .

Mainoo’s mobility is also a concern for the no 10 position. Should be okay if he rotates with Bruno. Everything else looks good
too many square pegs in round holes .
Martinez doesn't have the height to be alone in the middle.
I'd rather Mazraoui moves back, Shaw moves to wingback and Mount to where Mazraoui vacated.
Mainoo is swapping with Bruno without a doubt.

He wasn’t injured, journalists saw he wasn’t included in the match on Sunday and assumed he was injured.

Martinez is not a ccb he can’t play the position. lcb he and Shaw will rotate in that position.
De ligt and maguire in the ccb position. De light can also play the rcb with yoro. I think we do not have a problem with our cb pairing, if they can stay fit. My main concern is that midfield and attack.

I agree.....

While he tries to implement his strategies and stamp his identity on the team, a decent and respectable finish in the league is very much achievable - we are just 3 points from 6th position and it's Brighton that's currently 5th after just 12 league matches ; there are 26 league games left to play, translating to a whopping 78 points still up for grabs!!

To help accelerate the recovery process, It would be of immense benefit if we start tidying up transfer business early enough...possibly from the January TW if some of the targets are available by then. For those that can't join immediately, deals should already be agreed in principle. Dunno why we haven't been looking at players from the South American league but that's another discussion for another day.

As they say, "If you get on the wrong train, be sure to get off at the first stop. The longer you stay on, the more expensive the return trip is going to cost". Putting into context, I think we stayed too long on Bin Laden's train that was laced with explosives. We literally tried to give him enough time to destroy the club cheesy

The demands, pressure and expectations associated with managing top clubs has always been there and nothing is changing anytime soon.
The earlier the manager also realises that Man Utd isn't Sporting Lisbon, the better.

Hopefully Amorim's tenure here would be a successful one.

"Everybody has said to me it will be a special time [managing at Old Trafford for the first time]. I just want to win the game to give that happiness to the supporters. Before the match, it will be a new sensation but after the whistle it will be one more game and we want to win that match."

"We have to do it [rotate], especially in this moment because we have a lot of games, we are in the beginning of something, they have to feel they are part of the team. They are international players, we will rotate and we will try to manage to win every game and not just focus on this game, and [we will] have a clear idea of how to play. Everybody has to be on the same page."

"Not Harry. Licha is ready. He didn't stop [playing for] too much time, so I feel he is ready. It is a different situation with Harry, we need them both, but they are in a different situation. They are both training, Harry soon will be on the pitch also."

"He [Leny Yoro] is available to train, but we are working on his fitness. This is important. He is a young guy, this is a massive club. It's very important the first image, so we will try to put it together because he's a great talent. We believe a lot in him, and we are trying to prepare the best way to start with Leny."

"I'm expecting a very good [Glimt] team. They can win the league this week I think, they run a lot and that's a very good thing for us at the moment. We need to improve that, so we know that in this game we have to run a lot. They have some special players in the wingers, they can play on the pockets very well and they have aura of winning games and this is also because they're winning all the time. I'm expecting a very intense game, a very good game and I hope to see different things. Improve some things we didn't do so well in the last game, so it will be a good game."

Maresca joined the club before the season started, has had time to understand the players and train with them, including try out different things that didn't work. Remember he was abused during preseason by many Chelsea fans because the team was struggling and playing rubbish at times. He was able to offload those he didn't need and work with those he felt he can't work with because it was preseason

But I'm sure this point will fly over your head
Please I dont get something, Didnt maresca Buy Neto, Sancho, Viega, Giui, Joao Felix, Dewsbury-Hall and one other GK? Who said that Maresca is working with what he met at the club?

And he hasnt shown any exceptional performance at chelsea, most of their games they won have been glit edged matches. He is practically using 2 different teams to play league and Cup games, this is because of how poor the confrence league is and the uncountable players they have. So his league team are always fresh as if they are not playing any cup competitions. Please, we need better than what Maresca is doing at chelsea biko, Chelsea wey de win match with agidi

Nah i think it is a competition United should aim to win as it guarantees CL qualification, United can win it if the players are serious enough.

Which League? Lol. We need to focus on Europa League, thats the easiest way back to UCL. What is there in the league to focus that we cant win this season? If I am Amorim i will do Mourinho style on Europa league this season. Then hope for the best in the league. For me winning a Cup this season will be fantastic while looking for a way back into the UCL

🎙️ | Ruben Amorim on Marcus Rashford:

"That position is not the best one for him. He was fighting with two giants [vs Ipswich]. We will try to find the right solution for him but he has to be Marcus to return to that [form]. He has to be the first one to want it

Rashford’s striker run ends after one game🤡

I am actually surprised that y'all feel we can win the Europa league cheesy

I'd prefer we finish as close as possible to top 4, than to compromise a decent finish in the league for some competition in which, by any stretch of imagination, we cant be considered as favorites to win

I think it's easier to even topple the likes of Brighton and co in the league than to think of eliminating teams like Lazio, Ajax and Sevilla
