Okay thanks for the Clarification

Mbeumo and Amad are two silly players..You start one and you miss the other one..Two hideous twins lol.. Hopefully they get it together next season..Too many positions to strengthen so we don't really need to be thinking about that right hand side again..

Fair play to Carrick though, 8/12 isn't bad at all..Won Shitty, Assnal and Shekpe..Whatever happens with the permanent position selection, he's done extremely well..

Can't even imagine where we'd be with that egotistical maniac

Caveatemptor:
Manchester Utd went to a hostile away ground and came away with a massive three points and fans are still complaining? huh
Maybe it would be satisfying if United played well and lost the three points at stake.
I think that's our 3rd league win in about 25 years. The expectation is very high at United. Its pretty much perfection required every single match. I'm not sure we could have done much better than that considering Casemiro's limitation in midfield and our makeshift defence.

CrystalTiger:
He's just extremely lethargic.. Don't know what his problem is.. Once he has the ball, he becomes very timid..

Don't know what the club has planned but Sesko and Zirkzee as striker options looks terrible for now..
l will pick Zirkee over Sesko for now.He shud continue his super sub role.We paid 74m for this guy and this is what we get? Obi can do better than this.He was balling in his last club
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by MRTA7: 8:36am On Apr 19
The issue with spending big money on young players like that its just too risky. Especially with young defensive players. A signing like Heaven makes way more sense because if he doesn't develop the right way then you don't lose much. But spending 50m on a young defender from another league that needs a lot of development and adjustment just sounds like a terrible idea. Now Yoro could still go on to be an excellent defender for many years to come for us but as it stands he isnt more likely to than Heaven who costs us £1m. We should not be making that type of signing ever again.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by engrelvis(m): 8:37am On Apr 19
At this rate Gnarcho might end up in a lower team next season.Another potential wasted due to indiscipline and ego.Painful.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by FortCavazosKnox: 8:40am On Apr 19
He needs to be probed
CrystalTiger:
Not even a week apart..Same referee though..

Red card for ManUtd and nothing at all for Brentford..
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by FortCavazosKnox: 8:42am On Apr 19
Mbuemo and Sesko playing together doesn’t compliment each other
Jamiuokolaa:
Zirkzee struggling to get minutes as a 3rd choice backup to a highly inconsistent Sesko/out of form Mbeumo who isnt even a CF is an issue that needs to be addressed at the end of this campaign.

Next season brings a brutal schedule across four competitions, and the squad needs contributors, not passengers. Every spot should go to someone who can add real value, not someone we’re keeping “just in case”.

If Orobosa is deemed not good enough, we should just move him on jejely and get a suitable replacement that is cost effective.

With what am seen Yoro tendency of becoming a good defender is very slim.Heaven v more potential.His confidence for that age is superb.He shud be giving more playing time .

You are picking Zirkzee because Sesko is starting. If Zirkzee should start 2 consecutive games, you will start crying for Sesko to start.

Our best front 3 currently in terms of quality play is probably Amad, Mbeumo, Cunha but it lacks a box presence.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by FortCavazosKnox: 8:47am On Apr 19
They actually don’t understand football, they only watch because why aren’t you grateful you kept a clean shift with a make shift defence and you took all 3 points away at Stamford bridgehuh
Jamiuokolaa:
Massive points o

Reason why I am even suprised at some of the complaints.

Honestly, Yoro is looking like a disappointment. Taking him time to adapt to the intensity of the league. Turns like a trailer, always jittery and playing catch up. Damn!

Mainoo played well yesterday. Calm and composed l, physical when he needed to be, and also played some nice forward passes.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by FortCavazosKnox: 9:22am On Apr 19
Calling Carrick a clueless manager after his rate of wins in the number of games he has managed shows you think football is a video game like FIFA or PES
eph12:
We said the same thing under ETH, then Amorim, now Carrick is clueless after a couple good runs. We can even go further than ETH. Who have we recruited to our defense and midfield in the last 5 years? Please let's analyze this 400m+ that we are saying we have spent
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Dantedasz(m): 9:23am On Apr 19
I hope fans will start to give Bruno Fernandes his rightful flowers. What Bruno brings to this team is immense. In his favoured position no player in this league comes close to him and without his assists and overall contribution, I just wonder where United would be.
Going forward Bruno has to be a pivot of whatever United are going to do this summer.
Kapitan and leader.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by FortCavazosKnox: 9:24am On Apr 19
Gibson was a central midfielder
Jamiuokolaa:
Hasnt it been proven here repeatedly that we have outspent City in the last 5 years thereabout?

The "Pep solution", is his tactical Nous.

It is always our players that are expensive "rubbish" incapable of beating Leeds at OT.



What are you saying?

Park's "Utility" status no reach RB bros.

Rafael and Fabio - were they wingers?

Were Carrick and Fletcher CBs?

Darren Gibson and John O'Shea as CMs?

You clearly didn't watch our games.

Like I said earlier, Fergie had injury woes yet managed to find a way to win vs Bundesliga Defending Champions and Arsenal.

2026, Maguire misses an embarassing OT loss vs 15th placed Leeds and here we are looking forward to TW as the only solution.

Who do us this thing?

At this rate, he would end up in the championship in 3-4 years Max.

I lowkey thought that he probably needed a new environment but with what I have seen recently, the boy isn't serious.

I wouldnt be suprised if he retires by age 28. It seems his mind elsewhere already

C'mon, we forget Garnacho is still a young kid,and kids will always behave like kids. I believe Garnacho will improve and become a better player,if not at Chelsea probably somewhere else. There is a lot of potential in that player. The simple fact is that yesterday Chelsea played into Uniteds tactics which were to keep/ restrict Chelsea play to the wings with Garnacho and Neto where Dalot and Shaw were able to easily prevent the crosses from getting through to Palmer and Delap.

We should have patience with young players,because their development is at times mixed. Garnacho is a good player.

Sesko has 7 goals in his last 13 games despite not being played to his strengths and being a sub most times. Amad has zero goal or assist in his last ten league games. Mbuemo has 1 in his last 9.

While he might be young, it is also worthy of note that this fella has already amassed about 180 games of Senior football at club level.

The main issue here is that he has stagnated terribly and the more worrisome aspect is that his body language doesn't cut across as someone interested in improving on his deficiencies.

His move to Chelsea has also been counter-productive IMO because it appears he thinks the switch between 2 top clubs is a testament to his "exemplary" qualities.

Perhaps we also played a role in his stunted growth. I think we should have loaned him out to a lesser club in a bid to accelerate his development but again, he also appeared to be one of our best options at some point - an indication of how bad things were at OT in recent years.

From next season we need to build towards moving to a 3 man midfield to dominate games more. Yesterday performance was embarrassing especially the 2nd half.

I totally agree that Garnacho is a young veteran,however that does not remove the fact that he is still a kid. What fans need to do is to put ourselves in these players position and ask ourselves how developed we were at their ages in our professional life? Probably making mistakes and still finding our feet.

Young players will always be young players and are still learning their trade on the go. They have different developmental stages as such the development of such players are prone to ups and downs except rare talents like Messi,Ronaldo,Pele and probably Maradona.
When we see young developing players like Garnacho,Yoro,Dowman,Yamal,Doue,and others of their age thrown into the deep end of the cut throat swimming pool that is the brutal world of professional football,we need to take it easy with them because they are prone to different levels of mistakes and poor judgement.
Like I said,in Garnacho there is a potential good player who has lost his way. However to think he will be finished by age 28 is a bit far fetched. He is too good a player for that. Injuries baring,if he fails at Chelsea,he will probably make it at another club maybe in a Spanish country. An example is Ademola Lookman,who in England looked lost but is now about to play in a Champions league semi final.

I remember how the board got heavily criticized for rejecting £100m for Bruno in the summer; makes you wonder who they would’ve signed with that money, lol. Probably another Donny Van de Flop or Paul Unlock Flogba.

Tell me when was the last time Manchester United went to Stamford Bridge and came away with 3 full points,even in the great days of Sir Alex Ferguson. Chelsea may be poor but they are still a strong rival to United.
United need to secure that Champions league spot by any means necessary which was the objective against Chelsea yesterday.
We need to get over the line this season first before even contemplating what should be done next season. One step at a time should be the watch word. It does not have to be beautiful at this crucial stage of the season.

Without the assists from Bruno Fernandes United are NEVER challenging for Champions league. The fan base do not appreciate their captain enough. Bruno will always divide opinion but I assure you Manchester United fans will truely appreciate him the day he leaves the club.

Output like that should have had us winning the league or at least firmly in the title race this season.
