First time going to a match at Old Trafford! Excited for that alone, even if I’m not expecting much of a result.

Hope you have a great time!

Hard to preview or predict this one until we know the manager situation.

ETH will be here.
It would be a miracle if he wasn't.

He needs a win here and a good run of results to follow in November which looks relatively easy. December and January are brutal

I haven't looked at the fixture list, but if November is easy and Dec/Jan are tough, I would expect him to be fired in the New Year.
There is absolutely no way that he'll get us playing well against the better teams. He has proved over 2 years that his team performs extremely poorly against better teams.

Should win 3-0... more likely to lose 3-0

Unless we're playing Southampton every time, no. We could scrape through a few of those with late de Ligt headers or something, but none of those fixtures will be relatively easy.

Even Southampton gave us initially a tough game. The penalty save woke us up. We don't really do easy wins these days.

And even in the Barnsley game we started rather slowly.

We’d be the laughing stock of the footballing world (if not already) if we lose this one and ETH remains at the helm.

What about a draw ? This is as bad.

Well we’ve just seen that 2 draws in a row after a thrashing from spurs can keep him in a job. I think a loss seals his fate. We’d be a laughing stock if we lose though after keeping him during the international break only to sack him like next week.

Like we are not already a laughing stock.

Rumours going around that Shaw is back for this but can't see him making the starting team but would be nice if he can get 10 minutes at the end

ShinjiNinja26 · Oct 14, 2024

Frank will be auditioning for the Utd job here, will be a tough game. I just don’t know where the next win will come from under ETH, it’s fecking grim! He hasn’t got McSauce to bail him out anymore either. Hopefully this nightmare will end sooner rather than later, it’s beyond a joke he’s still hanging on.

McGrathsipan · Oct 14, 2024

So many bad performances in a row. Surely we're due an uptick by the law of averages

Winrar · Oct 14, 2024

We’ve made a mediocre Spurs side look like prime Barca not too long ago.

Won’t be surprised if we lose - they’ve scored as many goals as we did our entire league season.

Todd · Oct 14, 2024

Looking like ETH is still going to be in charge for this one which makes Ineos look like fools.

Can just see us rushing him back prematurely for this - then breaks down and out for another 2 months.

Gentleman Jim · Oct 14, 2024

Sadly for you Brentford's players will probably be well rested and have had plenty of training together in the last couple of weeks.
They're rapid and strong going forward on the break so you'll need to pass them to death and convert your opportunities to beat them.

How many times are we going to say this with ETH? I truly believe he will stay until new years, for some stupid reason that I and probably plenty other MU fans(and even rival fans) can't understand.

But anyways, I think this will end 1-0 to us for some odd reason, just a feeling. Even considering bringing in De Ligt or Mazraoui on FPL.

Don’t bring in Maz. He should be out for a few weeks

Scorpy · Oct 14, 2024

Gordon S · Oct 14, 2024

I see most bookies have us down as quite huge favourites in this game.
They still think Erik might be kicked out?

Last time we played them we were stuck in our own defensive third for most of the game.
Quite sure i remember them setting some PL record for most touches inside oppos penalty box in that game.
We are a touch more solid defensively now, but still hard to see us get the win.

I've been many times, but taking my 6 year old for his first game so in many ways, it's a big first for me.

The unstoppable force of that joy, meets the immovable object of this teams ability to ruin our collective weekends. Something has to give. The suspense!

Tom Cato · Oct 14, 2024

Will Fenerbache be Oles first new real test? Or will Ten Hag survive the week? Anything other than a convincing win is too little.

The choice is starting an unfit Shaw at LB and Dalot at RB vs Dalot at LB and Lindelof at RB.

I don't know which is worse.

Yeah, I've seen that. Don't think I will touch our players after all.

soapythecat · Oct 14, 2024

Chants of ‘attack, attack, attack’ should be ringing out from KO. ETH needs to know his brand of sit back shite football has run its course.

Cantonagotmehere · Oct 14, 2024

Is Martinez fit? Quick online search led me nowhere. Thanks.

You have Martinez at LB or we know Antony loves that role

lex talionis · Oct 14, 2024

The massive unknown is who will be fit, but based on form it's reasonable to expect Brentford to savage us. The game will be played, after all, at Old Trafford, which has become a hunting ground for our opponents.

USREDEVIL · Oct 14, 2024

Oh God must the season go on?

Just Kidding, i think we'll win. Game raising cnut style. We're due for a scalp of one of those teams above us.

Should win 3-0 based on what?

red_de_pologne · Oct 15, 2024

In normal circumstances this would be a tricky game, straight after the international break, with some injuries. But ETH has deprived himself of excuses, simply has to win next 2-3 games.

I think we’re more likely to lose the next two sadly. Fenerbache might be the last straw.

doubleohseven · Oct 15, 2024

Five nil United

We're back (lose the midweek game...)

Lee565 · Oct 15, 2024

There will be an excuse that he has defensive injuries which I'm sure he will mention if things don't go right for us.

But he can have no complaints when he still has dalot available right back, his signing de ligt available, evans available and currently our most inform defender, as well as his signing martinez available.

red_de_pologne · Oct 15, 2024

ve have to vin every game heh
