  1. Geovany Quenda - Summer 2025

    From what I’ve seen, his ability to go on the outside was the stand out feature of his game.

  2. Chido Obi | 2024/25 Performances

    I don’t think we’ve ever been afraid of chucking the kids in - I’d rather see more of him now and hopefully he can get two or three goals between now and the end of the season. That will set him up much better for next season than it will to have given him a taste but then take him out of the...

  3. Chido Obi | 2024/25 Performances

    Hardly touched the ball for first 20 minutes but Fulham were all over us. Really grew into the game and he looks a player in the making. One or two heavy touches maybe took him away from creating a half chance for himself but he also got himself into three really good scoring situations - the...

  4. Joshua Zirkzee | 2024/25 Performances

    He’s definitely technically gifted but I just wonder if he will ever adjust to the speed of PL football. Someone like Berbatov didn’t need to acclimatise to PL football, he was ready made. Zirkzee doesn’t look quite as naturally ready for it and just wonder whether we can be patient waiting for...

    They both did the odd bit and then lots of poor decisions and misplaced passes etc. But that’s this United, no consistency and just play in moments hence why we are capable of winning the odd cup along the way.

  6. Joshua Zirkzee | 2024/25 Performances

    He’s a conundrum of a footballer. Does something spellbinding followed by such a basic, simple mistake. I’d give him this season as a bit of a free hit in the hope he’s one of those players who just needs time to adjust. Make or break next season for him though.

    Fish out of water playing that role last night.

  8. James Trafford - Burnley

    I happened to be at the Burnley game on Tuesday and trust me that’s one hell of a defence in front of Trafford. He didn’t make a save but Oxford had plenty of possession 30 yards from goal but everything they tried - shots, balls inside etc - were blocked. They are masters at moving the attacks...

  9. Rasmus Hojlund (Out)

    Exactly this. By definition, every single goal we score in and around the penalty box is a goal that could have been scored by Hojlund. Good strikers manufacture chances, they turn a poor cross into a good one, they force mistakes. I see loads of balls coming into the box just above head height...

  10. Marcus Rashford (out) | signs for Villa on loan

    Agree. This manager seems to be indulging no one. Twelve bloody years of the tail wagging the dog looks like it might be at last coming to an end. All that Rashy this, Rashy that rubbish we had under Ole and then a succession of managers treating him like he was some world class striker in the...

  11. Amorim: «We are maybe the worst team in Man United history»

    It seems the media are and I think it will be the quote that dominates the United talk for a few days.

  12. Amorim: «We are maybe the worst team in Man United history»

    So maybe he shouldn’t say ‘in history’ ?

  13. Amorim: «We are maybe the worst team in Man United history»

    Come on, this is nowhere near the weakest squad in our history. We got relegated with the likes of Arnie Sidebottom and Steve James as centre back options ! Any eleven from our current squad would trounce that team. It’s just a cheap, throw away comment.

  14. Toby Collyer | 2024/25 Performances

    His instinct is to play the ball backwards, rather than forwards. Plays very safely, low risk football, needs to believe more and have the confidence to make more incisive passes. He’s tidy enough in possession though.

  15. Hojlund or Zirkzee as first choice striker?

    Hojlund’s touch is so poor. He’s just not a particularly good footballer, his game seems to be more about grappling with defenders, trying to win fouls, than producing anything productive. Zirkzee is silkier on the ball with much better hold up and link up play - he just doesn’t look like he can...
