I don't think they're moaning over Grealish so much as theyre moaning over how City was already much better than us and they still buy 100million players. I think they're upset the gap in player quality between the two teams isn't going to close as much as we'd hoped.
City can spend £150m every summer despite what's said about FFP because nothing is ever actually done about it. Moreover, we've spent a few years signing medicore to decent players but few world class players. However, Liverpool have proven that the gap can be closed temporarily. City are not invincible.
Embarrassing stuff.
And they'll be the first in his performance thread calling him a bargain when he's winning us games on his own
Same with Grealish when he joins City. Good for us (England), though. Rashford, Greenwood and Sancho competing here, Grealish, Sterling and Foden competing at City.
. Very interesting were Ole plays him this year.He's going to start the season on the left.Been watching a lot of videos of him 20/21 season. He seems to be playing a lot from the left
We bought him because he’s one of the best wingers in world football. He can play either side, and he will play either side.
Sure but we also bought him because we need a right winger, so he will play mostly on the right.
Possibly. Owing to Rashford’s surgery, Sancho is very likely to start the season on the left, and with Shaw behind him, I think it’ll be an extremely dangerous combination that might end up sticking all season.
So who starts on the left while Rashford is out? Greenwood doesn't deserve to lose his place to Martial, James or Lingard.
I also wouldn't mind this to be honest. With Leeds man marking style, Martial should have the freedom to attack his fullback, especially with Shawberto overlapping and combining. But same argument could be said for Greenwood, man marking could leave him that extra yard for shooting, which he is lethal at creating that yard for.
Haven't seen anybody think like that.
The short answer is no - its not a big deal. Namely because he was an academy player that didn't make an appearance for the first team. City fans would probably dislike him quite a bit. Tbh we don't really care about City all that much. Peter Schmiechel and Andy Cole played for City and that hasn't negated their status as legends for us, heck Dennis Law scored the winner against us for Man City that could have easily relegated us, but alas he's still universally loved.
Nah, Giggs was in the City academy until 14, Solskjaer was a Liverpool fan growing up, Sir Matt played for both City and then Liverpool before becoming Man United manager... The only thing that matters is how they are when they are at the club, and if they leave to go to those clubs after, that they remain respectful.
My guess is we'll see him on both wings, sometimes with Martial left if Cavani is up top, sometimes with Greenwood right, sometimes with Pogba left probably too. When Rashford is back he'll probably just go on the right a lot more and then they'll switch in game occasionally.
Tbh the rivalry between Utd and City has generally tended to be a one-way situation. With them hating us, and us not generally being that arsed about them. Even now, I'd say it's the same. Right now, I'd put City in the same tier that Arsenal were under Wenger (when they were good). Strong (though not necessarily as fierce as even Arsenal were back then) sporting rivalry, but nothing deeper than that.
