VeevaVee gave you your last like for thisMy reaction score is 11. But since my access to newbies forum is revoked, having been christened a new full member, i don’t know who else liked my post on newb forum Or which post it was that was liked. Seems like an obvious area of improvement. On that note, eight years of software engineering experience at your disposal should you ever require it. I’ve enjoyed nearly a decade on here lurking. About time I pay some of it back.
You really think greenwood at 18 years of age would leave his boyhood club if he’s only starting 25 games compared to 50 that would burn him out ten years down the line?
Manchester United has regularly kept four main strikers happy and motivated at the club even when there was just room for two. Our current manager knows a thing or two about that, I daresay.
Jadon Sancho is an absolute must for this team to take the next step. He’s English, he’s lived in Manchester and he can play on the right. Mason will get minutes across the front three when anyone needs a rest or is injured. If he progresses as he should, he will bench one of the three and that will be a good problem to have. But Sancho is a proven wide player that can play at number 10 as well, which Mason is not. Mason is a great goal scorer but he’s got a long way to go before he can be called anything more than that.
Our midfield depth can be sorted by coaching McT and Fred and Garner ( as some keep reminding me and I do agree reluctantly ) , Our defense, well I think we will try and get a fast centre back. I’d be very surprised if we get a Bruno backup if we do get Sancho.

It’s a bad time for a cricket fan. No competitive cricket being played around the world and it does look like it will be the case for a while.
First and foremost, I am a fan of Indian cricket team. And then a fan of cricket right after that. Then comes Manchester United neck and neck and football comes fourth.
But having played cricket more seriously than football - yours truly was a ( surprisingly ) fast left arm swing bowler and a handy left handed pinch hitter coming down the order in school and college cricket sides whereas in football I used to get picked purely because I was a left footed player and there are so few of those to go around - I find myself more inclined towards cricket. I can read the game more naturally in cricket. Whereas appreciating football has been a labour of love.
The human aspect of the sport is the same. But reading a football game is necessarily a more dynamic thing. I genuinely appreciate the tactical analysis from some YouTube channels and from the likes of thebusbybabes and zonalmarking ( though they have gone silent for a while ). They have helped me learn to read the game better over the years.
Do folks that grew up watching quality football and playing quality football find it easier to see these patterns? What about others? please feel free to share the stories.
