Its pretty much a worse team than last year from a midfield and attack point of view. So not sure if we should expect anything different from next games

Honestly, EtH deserves this for not realizing hat McFred midfield and Maguire as captain will sink any manager
Hopefully he learned his lesson
What are you comparing to exactly?
Best not to pay attention to the perpetual everything is ok positive people.
They think if your in denial then they are better fansThat second goal was a disgrace.
Copy and paste the name of literally any team we are playing.We actually look worse than last season, and I didn’t think that was possible. Although the starting eleven is pretty much the same but without Ronaldo and Lindelof, and both their replacements are a step down so it’s no surprise we look worse!
What a depressing situation.Anyone fancy a trip to Cheetham Hill for a fake City shirt?
United didn't take long at all to bring that feeling of despair back. I'm one naive cnut to think this would be any different just because we have a new manager in charge. Same lack of chances created, same non existent midfield, same shambolic defense conceding at the back post. Horrible all around. I don't even know what changes to suggest. I'll just pray for a draw now and go to sleep angry when I don't get it.
Rashford invisible
Maguire slow brainless and never where he should be.

We need a whole new team.
There isn't any hope for this particular bunch of players
might help if the defenders could actually defendFred on the second goalMidfield shite: Yes. But part of that is Potters tactics, flooding the central midfield.Do we have the dumbest players in the PL? I mean genuinely, I have no idea why this lot is so uncoachable, why they don't ever learn anything apart from that they are just completely thick and unable to learn.
wasn’t good enough for us though.At least the commentators agree that the fault is the owners not getting the players we need in.
midfield has always been our weakness.
Nothing done.
Another good oneSecond goal is on FRED at no point during that attack did he look over his shoulder to see what’s around him.
This isn’t football manager. We were always going to sign around 4-5 players at most. The type of fantasy Rangnick was on about doesn’t happen at clubs that aren’t backed by oil states.I didn't expect us to be world beaters straight away, but that was a woeful half.
But when you have a midfield of so little quality featuring McFred, you get what you expect.
Great, as I said hypocrites. He has been dogshit and even worse than McTMartinez has had a rude awakening in that first half- way less time on the ball in the Prem- he’ll need to adapt quickly!Gonna be a bleak long season.
Everything wrong, from trying to play McTom as some sort of attacking mid, to Fred as a deep play maker.
A centre back combo costing £140m, both with monumental weaknesses.
We'll do well to score today, let alone keep this to 2-0.
Yeah, we should have made 6-7 new signings this summer - but let's face it, we were never going to do that.
We lost to Everton and went on to win the title so yeah its just one game.
It's the events leading up to this game that is annoying people. Everyone could see that this midfield is atrocious. It needs more than 1 Frenkie. We don't even have 1 Frenkie. And our manager gave everyone a clean sheet.It’s imperative that this team responds in the second half whatever the final score.*Ronaldo ruined the fluidity of the team in the first half. Martial or Rashford should start ahead of him *
Now I’m not saying that Ronaldo is going to come in the second half and score 3 goals but my point is all this blame on Ronaldo last season was ridiculous. This United team is genuinely awful. Top to bottom the squad is beyond poor. They are clearly better with him then without.
It’s also not right to blame ETH for anything at this point, as I have always said the problem starts from the board and owner and it trickles down to this team United currently have.
United need the following positions
- RB
-CB
-CDM
-CM
-RW
- ST
Not just one of each but multiple.
They need to sell Rashford, Martial, Mctom, Fred, AWB, Luke Shaw. These guys are NOT good enough. United have a long road of rebuilding ahead and I truly hope ETH gets the backing of the board.
Obviously not, but how many of those players were playing 3 seasons ago? We have personnel with unchangeable attitudes still playing. This is an attitude issue.
‘Wasn’t good enough today, let the fans down. We’re going to get back to training and push on for the next game. We go again.’"So, ten Hag, 2-0 loss vs. Brighton. You said you'd bring pressing but it wasn't evident today."
"No, heh, I said we'd be depressing, heh."
This
You're contradicting yourself unless we're buying a dozen players before the next game.
Probably the worst 45 minutes I've seen from a United right back since Bailly at PSG.Wonder if the Glazers are going to hang around for the whole game.I think we need some patience. We’ve reverted to panic mode. It’ll get better.
Nah. They are proven. Just proven to be completely shit and nowhere near good enough.2nd goal Dalot on Trossard like what are you defending seriously!- Status
