They've been reporting all day on Talksport ( I know, I know ) that MG is ready to be offloaded because of the resulting backlash after Crafton's article in The Athletic.
Just noticed Jude Bellingham has score twice today for Real. Oh to have someone like that.
Yeah, that's the thing: the goal isn't to get the best out of Bruno and Rashford but to build a top team that is capable of controlling games by intelligent possession. And we seem to be giving up on that, instead of giving up on Rashford and Bruno if they can't adapt.I think he choose to go that way due to the personnel at his disposal. He tried last year to control games and make them less chaotic but due to how our squad is constructed he's forced to lean into being a transition team because that's what suit our best players.
When your best players are Bruno, Rashford, Casemiro and the likes, it's hard to control games, so instead he decided to play into their strength which is transition. When you watch Bruno and Rashford needlessly and constantly give away the ball while attempting 5 yards passes, how confident can you be in believing you'll ever exert control over any decent team.
My take though, is that he should still try to force it to them. No more allowing Bruno carelessly giving away possession, no more Casemiro playing hot potato with the ball at time. Probably far harder than it sound.
Wouldn't be a hard task since Old Traford is like a lego stadium nowadays.Man Utd Lost so the CAF is in meltdown! PANIC STATIONS!
Sack EtH. Sack Murtough. All the players bought are crap.
Fold the club.
A better team would have shredded us to pieces. We are lucky they no longer have Kane.
Urgh. Going to be a long season unless we find midfielder and striker depth in the market.
Cost about 70 million. Our club is just full of inepitude
I know.It would be great to have him here and I'm sure everyone at United would have loved to get him but Bellingham wanted Real.

Think it’s more a case of us looking shit and our transfer window being an obvious failure yet again.Man Utd Lost so the CAF is in meltdown! PANIC STATIONS!

Also true.Doesn't feel one midfielder is enough
Ha yeah cracks me up too. I understand not liking the mount signing but fecking stupid saying we should be starting mcfred again. Would understand saying should've signed diff ones at leastThe people genuinely saying we miss Fred and McTom
As if they always sorted things out for us and we didn't just moan about them the last 4 or 5 years.
The problem is that most of his best players don't suit any football that warrant control, so his hands are really tied. Remember, managers ought to be able to adapt to what they have. I'm sure if he could get rid of said players and replace them with quality he'd have probably stuck to his initial plans but that's not the case.Yeah, that's the thing: the goal isn't to get the best out of Bruno and Rashford but to build a top team that is capable of controlling games by intelligent possession.

So you weren’t concerned at all by the second half performance?We just weren’t dominated though were we. Spurs got gifted two goals. We missed big chances and denied a clear penalty. Aside from that it was fairly even.
Carrington too.
Erase United's historic trophies from the record books too.
We are a collection of 11 individuals not a team welded together under a designated playing system. There is no balance, and for a side like Manchester United to start a season with no striker just beggars belief. I don't know if the new kid is the answer but the lack of goals last season was worrisome. It still is.
All the more reason not to add Mason fecking Mount to it. Surely it would make more sense to get someone who compensates for their weaknesses, as opposed to a player who highlights and exacerbates them.Our base is simply not suited for controlling game. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems very hard to play that way when your midfield has Bruno and Casemiro together.
It's never as bad as it seems. Martial is the best at the club at holding up the ball. You want to play two attacking midfielders and two wingers? You need someone to hold it up and play them in. This was a tactical blunder for me but maybe Martial didn't have 90 minutes in him? There's always stuff going on in the background we don't know about.
I also don't understand playing a left winger with no right foot on the right and a right winger with no left foot on the left.
Mount is an adequate deputy for Bruno. To play when he needs a rest. He shouldn't be playing with Bruno in my amateur opinion.
Why can't you discuss and post opinions like a normal person, instead of always going hystericalMan Utd Lost so the CAF is in meltdown! PANIC STATIONS!

Bookmarked for end of season results.Dog shit and utterly predictable we won’t finish top 8
Normal person?! Large portion of the forum is in meltdown!Why can't you discuss and post opinions like a normal person, instead of always going hysterical
Legitimate question: we know Utd players are not good at football? Can anyone name something they are good at?
They sure get paid a lot!
We look like a side that has no focal point. The midfield has no outlet when it has the ball so players overthink and then lose the ball. Our attacking players are all of the wide or secondary type and not the pure striker so they don't make those runs or have the movement that comes natural to a striker.
Our play has no end game. The opposition doesn't need to worry about us attacking because there's nobody there to occupy them and when we do go forward, it's usually out wide and ultimately there's nobody in the middle.
It's easy to play against, easy to defend against. It makes our players look poor because they have no outlet, no options.
A striker doesn't even need to score. There were presence brings it all together.
Putting someone up top who doesn't have the natural instincts won't fix it either.
Dog shit and utterly predictable we won’t finish top 8
