  1. Patrick Dorgu | 2024/25 Performances

    Excited to see this lad play - hope it's on Friday. He has a really interesting style, reminds me of Luka Doncic (for any NBA fans) a little - he's kind of herky-jerky the way he dribbles, but his big body and close control make it difficult to disposes him (cleanly at least). Should have a...
  2. Chido Obi

    The thing that is telling, is there aren't many people clamouring for him to start because they think he is ready (which we've seen happen in recent years with some of our academy graduates). It's the "can he be any worse" crowd that are making the most noise. The reason is because we broke the...
  3. Post match vs Manchester City

    I really couldn't understand a lot of the negativity yesterday, even before the goals. Yes City are going through a bad spell, but so are we! We have a new manager, system, we are in the bottom half of the league and yet we go to the Eithad and are better (all be it marginally) from start to...
  4. Manchester United vs FK Bodo/Glimt

    That's a ridiculous finish
  5. U21s: Altrincham vs United

    Didn't catch the match, did we play 3-4-3?
  6. Marcus Rashford | 2024/25 Performances | loan to Villa

    I hate the way Rashford is treated by our online fanbase - you'll never catch me ripping in to him like some gleefully do. That said, I still stand by my assessment that we cannot afford to rely on a player who blows as hot and cold as he does. He was so poor yesterday. Looks like he has...
  7. U18s: United 9-0 Blackburn

    Excellent play from the ref to win us the ball back to make it 2-0 :smirk:
  8. U18s: United 9-0 Blackburn

    Delighted to see Lacey on the bench. Was really shocked to see Munro there also. He feels like a bit of a forgotten man, but I rate him highly. Looked like our best centre back prospect at the start of last season. Hoping for a big season for both
  9. Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    I'd go with the same team that played against Southampton, but with Ugarte coming in for Eriksen. Feels unfair to Eriksen and Garnacho, who have done well the last few games, but we have another game on Wednesday, they can both start then as well as provide good options from the bench, if we...
  10. Manchester United vs Barnsley

    We should absolutely be rotating for this. It's a long season, with hopefully a lot of games, we need to protect our players as much as we can. Onana Dalot - Maguire - Evans - Amass Casemiro - Ugarte Antony - Fernandez - Garnacho Zirkzee Dalot, Fernandez and Zirkzee should get 60-70 minutes...
  11. Non-televised academy matches

    Cancelled my MUTV subscription and sent some "feedback" to the digital feedback email address. Lack of live matches is understandable... lack of highlights, match reports or social media posts isn't. Can't do the bare minimum for the academy, which many consider the lifeblood of the club.
  12. Joshua Zirkzee | 2024/25 Performances

    The reason I think it's lazy, is it just looks at the results of a very small sample size and ignores the bigger picture. The chances he had yesterday at first glance, looked like bad misses - in front of goal, no defenders close, but I think on second and third viewing they weren't indicative...
  13. Amad Diallo | 2024/25 Performances

    Another good performance in the bag. His first touch, dribbling, passing are all so assured, it looks so effortless. Got into some really good positions today. Maybe could have used the Mazroui's runs better, but it's hard for me to be too critical of him. It's just nice to feel confident that...
  14. Joshua Zirkzee | 2024/25 Performances

    Was really impressed with his play today. Felt like he was linking up with everyone, Amad, Rashford, Mainoo. Was probably my man of the match today. Calling him a poor finisher feels pretty lazy. When he gets his shot off he looks good. Forced a tidy save from Ramsdale and a good clearance from...
  15. With a fully fit squad, what is our best xi according to you?

    I'd quite like to see this at some point Onana Dalot - De Ligt - Martinez - Shaw Ugarte Mainoo - - - - Mount Fernandez Garnacho - - - - - - Hoijlund
