I'm suprised no one here checked his liked tweets, amateur muppetry.
 
I’m not a conspiracist type but I think after the Keane saga he’s (father) seeking revenge and will sign for PSG

I dare hope his father considers this an ancient story that no longer affects him and the only thing that interests him would be to make the right choice for the development and the future of his son. After that, is Man United the best place for that is a whole other question.

Yeah I’d have thought liking a tweet saying: ‘Frankfurt then a train to Dortmund’ would have caused mass muppet suicide?

 
I'm curious on peoples thoughts of this transfer, who also want Ole out.

The obvious implication is that if this happens, Ole will get another season.

Nothings certain in football. You’d hope with a signing like this, Pogba playing and another signing he’d be doing well enough that everyone wants him here next season.

Of course there are weirdos who just want him out whatever, but I think most just want us to be good.

Yes it’s clearly obvious.


Slow morning for news then

Personally, I think he's doing a better job of recruitment than any of the previous 3 and I like how he's trying to rebuild the culture at the club that his predecessors did so much to destroy. I don't see too many risks to giving him another year and backing him in the transfer market a bit. There are very legitimate doubts over his coaching ability, although I for one would absolutely love to see him succeed. If nothing else, I think when he does go he'll leave the club in a better state than when he arrived and I think that he's the first manager since Sir Alex to do that.

He’s trying hard not to piss himself laughing. Whether it’s due to the ‘flying to Manchester ‘ rumour escalating or that the kid is really signing for us, is basically a guess. He doesn’t want to detract from the fact that we’ve a difficult series of matches ahead, and that’s his priority right now

My thoughts also.

Last time I checked the 'Sack Ole' thread, approx 51% voted in favor to sack him. Most those people would also want Haaland here.

They aren’t mutually exclusive at the end of the day
 
I must say he does resemble a baby pig and if that description in anyway used to depict the forthcoming transfer saga then I for one will be glad I described him this way

Piglaand

He reminds me more of Ivan drago wit the German style(I know he's Norwegian)

If things go according to plan and we sign Haaland,then in the summer we should go all out and break the bank to get Mpbappe and we'd have the best young attack in the world.

I'm still actually pissed off that we bought the wrong Frenchmen in Martial and didn't grab mbappe when he was at Monaco

It should have been obvious to our scouts that he was the greater talent, with Martial's fair-weather attitude being a persistent throughout his career even when he was at Monaco himself.

Exactly this, he’s recruiting young and very talented players.

These are the ‘safest’ bet for Ed as any replacement manager worth his salt can work with these instead of ageing players that we’ve signed under previous management.

Ole’s recruitment has been sound, this squad for the first time in years feels like it’s building towards something, two solid windows could see a massive improvement in performance. I’d hate for us to scrap that and start again (again)
 
I can't quite read where you stand on it, but I'm getting the feeling that you want Ole sacked and want Haaland signed?
I’ll just do a cynical Ole laugh and say “ I don’t comment on other etc etc”
 
Might not be the right thread for this, but Fred was clocked at a top speed of 37.29 km/h against the Toffees. Its by far the highest top speed by any United player this season and serves to remind how little or rather nothing "top speed" means in modern football.
But since Haaland was clocked at 36 something plus and this was used to argue that he is the nxt coming of Usain Bolt it is kinda relevant to this thread I guess. These "top speed" numbers need to go away. They mean nothing from a footballing perspective.

Is there somewhere we can view these stats by game?
 
Says top speed numbers need to go away then starts dishing out links...

Hmmmmm you don’t fool us Mr Speed.
Because it shows why that particular stat is pretty much irrelevant.
You obviously did not get the argument. Fred is not the fastest player in the United squad by far.
He most likely got in one situation where he could run 60-70 meters forward unhindered. Something that not happens a lot of times if any in an actual football game.
Its not a coincidence that these stats are overrepresented by wingers and fullbacks that are most likely to make those type of runs in a game. The Fred stat is very much an anomaly but proves my argument.

You obviously did not get the quite common joke.

Your anti-Norway bias is strong and very evident. It’s getting boring
