    Ya I can see it, and can see that Mahrez shoulder is ahead of it. Who cares

    Except it isn't.

    Probably isn't even if you ignore the foot is on the ground and the shoulder being off the ground will always look more to the left than it actually is.

    The moment you spot the foot it's a no brainer.
     
    £1.2 billion in ten years for this spineless dross. As we all know the fault lies right at the top. Recruitment and strategy at Old Trafford since Sir Alex left has been a complete failure.

    Rangnick getting Ronaldo out the door will do so much for the next manager coming in the summer. One gigantic tactical headache relieved.

    Good thing we played so well without him in the team today to prove your point :lol::lol:

    Train wreck that finished 3rd and 2nd under his leadership, the man must have been a genius!

    How many trophies did the genius won as a manager? What he did was assemble a weak minded team of bottlers on silly money who are happy with being the Arsenal of the EPL. Then he made it his vocation to appease them at every turn.

    Kicking the ball and saving it are two different things, no?

    Either read my post properly or dont reply. Cheers!

    I did read your post properly thank you very much. Don’t be so arrogant in your postings.

    You’re criticising our best player by far, whom, might I add, saved our collective asses on more than one occasion today. World Class keeper who god knows where we would be without him. Both today and throughout the season.

    He is not brainless, whatsoever. Nitpicking for the sake of it and giving it to the player just because we lost. He is not brainless by any means.

    Think if anyone he the ONE player devoid of ANY criticism for today’s performance.

    City are great to watch, it’s such a shame that we didn’t get Pep. There’s not a player at the club that I would be sad to see go, we need to start again.

    Blame Fergie for his strong Glaswegian accent
     
    Downed tools, in the 2nd half as if they could not be bothered? Now that's what it looks like when your not good enough. Heard this years ago when we were beating the dippers easy and comfortable, it was we were just better, Same as here today and no matter how far you want to ru n, etc if your up against superior coaching and players that's the result you get. Long long way off

    Jose ranked finishing second with us as one of his biggest achievements and yet Ole can do that playing entertaining football which LVG could never do and he never had the coaching experience of those two.
    Ole did better than any of the previous three but he has gone now so let us see how the new guy goes

    Demoralised is probably a better descriptor. They knew they were beat and had nothing to fight back with.

    Downing tools is more appropriate when you know they are better than the performances. I’m not sure that’s the case here.

    It is truly amazing how a summer of optimism has turned into the most despairing of seasons.

    As others have said there are few players I’d be sad to see go. Sancho has been improved in the last couple of months and has clearly an abundance of talent. But other than him I just don’t really care about any of them.

    We keep trying to build gradually but this summer has to be time for 10-12 to leave and 7-8 new players come in.
     
    This team was created and assembled over the years by an incompetent , out of depth CEO, Woodward, appointed and supported by absent owners,

    The CEO waltzes off around the world with the millions given to him over the years by owners completely ignorant , and there should be no surprises really. Funding the takeover and setting up schemes for owners to live off the club with no real investment, given the keys to the kingdom with no real scrutiny. Awful the way the club was set up, certainly paying for it after 9/10 years of Woodward with no light at the end of the tunnel.

    Disneyland is now in tatters and in need of significant repair.

    The cheek of you to tell me to stop being ''so arrogant" in my postings when it was your silly sarcastic post that sparked that reaction.

    Now, I have no qualms about De Gea's shot stopping. He's one of, if not, the best in the league at it, but his kicking is, and has always been pretty shite, especially for the modern game. If you don't like my critism of him, then I don't know what else to say, other than tough shit.

    Were you entertained losing 4-1 to Watford? How entertained were you watching them lose by a combined 7-0 to City and Liverpool (at Old Trafford)?

    If your goal is to finish second or third, and not win trophies, then Ole's your guy.

    Rangnick was a pointless hire. He hasn't stabilized anything, if anything he has fractured the team. But they're a stained bunch anyway. When you lose as much as they have, that's what they become good at. That's what they know best. There are maybe four or five players that have a champion pedigree, the rest are a joke.

    We don't need DeGea's wages anymore. We don't need Ronaldo or Pogba.

    We need new owners.

    You still haven't answered my question. After 415m what trophies has this rebuild won?

    I don't care about positive vibes and BS. There is nothing entertaining in getting trashed by Watford and Liverpool or ending up trophies again and again.

    7-8 player to come in I'd love that ,got no chance. Maguire has been rubbish, Pogba injured and then the odd good game. Telles I've said before not good enough. Bruno has decided he's that good noone us allowed to tackle him. The side has got way to many cruisers in it. Until a manager comes in that can change there mentality it's more of the same, top 4 no chance it's Europa crappy football again probably starting in August . That's were we are .
     
    The whole Man City team is far superior on the ball, Cancelo the left back is a better dribbler than all of our forwards apart from Sancho. And Silva, Grealish, Foden and Mahrez, the ball is just glued to their feet. Completely other level to United at the moment.

    Yeah when you see their full back attempt a scissors kick volley and spray crossfield passes, then look at Awb on the ball, there's no need to over think things. Woodwards era was disastrous

    And those three games happened in a 4 or so week period??
    It went south quickly then but the team were entertaining in the two previous seasons and there is no denying that but the bloke did better than LVG, Jose and Moyes in that regard .....that is all I am saying.

    None obviously and if you don't know that then learn how to use a Search Engine!
    He got us in the Chmps league regularly in the most competitive league in the world where the top three teams would be the top five in World football and he did that with limited experience and if you don't think that is the least bit impressive I would love to know what you have achieved in your profession!

    I am a Manchester United supporter not their accountant. I can't give a feck about getting into the CL only to get our arse spanked back in the Europa League by football 'giants' like Leipzig and Istanbul Basaksehir who rely on a tenth of our transfer budget. I also can't care less about his experience either. United are among the highest paid clubs in the world. We could have gotten a better manager then some guy who tanked it at Cardiff.

    The reality is simple. We spent 415m on mostly tripe, we won nothing and we're heading to next summer with a huge rebuild to be made. I think no one can really argue with that. Even the staunchest pro Ole guys like Howson and Rio claim that this squad has huge multiple problems although tbf they tiptoe away from mentioning who brought these 'stars' at the club in the first place

    Regarding myself, well, I am a data analyst so while I was in the middle of huge decisions being made and my opinion was valued I can't really say that I was the one making the final decision on anything. What I do know is that if we threw 415m in the bin that I assure that neither myself nor the people taking those decisions would class ourselves as a success. Actually our careers would be as good as over at that point. Id be flipping burgers at McDonalds after that.
