Eh? Explain that one please...I'd love to hear it
I wouldn't bother, apparently benching Rashford could have gone wrong therefore he was lucky.
Saying that he got away with it or being lucky is one thing but luckiest, guess he didnt see more than few managers. Then again better lucky than clueless like one in his name.
We finally after an actual coach that has a playing style and doesn't accept anything other than the best.
He needs to be backed in Jan and then the new owners need to do the same in the summer.

I think people saying dropping Rashford worked out, because he came on and scored are missing the point. Regardless of the result today, the manager should be praised for trying to set a culture that will hopefully benefit us long term, rather than prioritising short term results.
Anyone questioning why he was dropped has never managed people before.
Exactly, if he let's the better players get away with things then the others will follow there example
Agreed. Dropping him was fine and good management (as long of course that what Rashford did deserved it), but I'm not sure if going public about it was the right thing to do. Might have been better off saying it was either for rotation or that Rashford had a slight knock/illness.
But obviously I'm saying that from the outside looking in so of course we don't know what the exact situation was about.
If he says that and we end up dropping points he would've got hammered by the pundits and journalists. I don't mind it, it means the players have to take accountability.
Perhaps he cleared it with Marcus beforehand?
I think he means in the sense, if we don’t win this game or we lose it then the press will be all over ETH and blaming the fact rashford didn’t play. Everything went in ETH favour which is a good thing. He’s brought discipline and dropped and player and brought him on and it just turns out he makes the headlines for the right reason even though it started in bad terms.
Good that rashfords come out and put it to bed. He understands the rules and he’s owned up to it.
Our form is impressive considering how badly we started the season. Still plenty of work to do but for the first time since SAF there is a clear feeling that we maybe finally got someone good enough to take us back to where we belong.
The whole Rashford thing sends out a great message to Garnacho, who may still be a little miffed about how he was treated for being late to meetings. Not any more.
Or when he laid into the entire side after Palace away… then turned and said “Eric you can’t be doing that” after the flying boot to SimmonsThe Cantona story about him wearing the jeans is a hilarious example
Things being in bed was a large part of the problem
Bizarre opinion. ETH is far from lucky, considering the shitshow he walked into, he's doing a brilliant job so far. It's something an opposition fan would say. Wouldn't expect that from a United fan. Bizarre
ah yes, best way of showcasing your leadership is asking your subordinate if it’s okay to showcase your leadership
I can see how some might think I was upset or something if I was wanting him to fail, but that makes zero sense as I wanted him to replace ole/ralf from the start
We’ll have to see what happens with the new owners. You’d imagine the funds would be there right away. Whether there’s anyone of that quality available is debatable.
I think its time for a manager that dont accept bs from players.
Good job.
Good job.
Let it go mate
Strange take.
3 straight wins after the re-start, can't ask for anything more than that...we all should know by now that they are no easy games in the league.
He called him the luckiest manager he's ever seen. That's just him putting his stamp down on the team. Every big call ETH has made so far has been the right one. Its not luck
I got where you was coming from.
yes it is.
I agree ETH has made all the right calls.
Well, nice talking to you.
Great point
three clean sheets too. Obviously not the toughest of opponents, but that's got to do wonders for morale too. Especially with a makeshift back four.
Absolutely love this guy!
Chris Sutton praising him. Joe Cole said it will come to bite him on the arse because at some point two big players will be late before a big game and it’ll be interesting whether he is able to stick to his principle then.
Sky pundits praising him for how he handled Rashford and how Rashford responded to the punishment.
One of the worst posts I’ve ever seen
Let’s continue to count, this is the third win of the league games in a row.
