Rashford with the only bit of quality, surely this is ruled out though.

Rashford is clinical! Even with the handball it was the right thing to do. Another ref might have given it. He's certainly going through his usual purple patch.
Wolves might just be the worst team with the ball I've seen since Qatar.
They've always been dreadful on the ball tbf. It's their MO. Utd should be doing more against these kinds of teams (as do Liverpool and Spurs too obviously).
Thats fair, they're super hard to break down but they give up the ball so much teams really should be killing them. Their entire front line are headless chickens. I'd agree that if United want to be seen as real contenders they need to be dispatching them a lot easier. Game was was unnecessarily nervy for the last 5 minutes.
Once we get oil money we can buy lots of players to ensure we don't have nervy last 5 mins.
Or you guys could just put teams like this to bed in the way non oil money teams like Arsenal and Leicester did!
We Don't have enough oil money to compete
Aye for sure, having the biggest net spend over the last 10 years even above all the oil money clubs clearly shows you can't compete. I actually shed a tear every so often for just how little money you guys have to spend.
Must be tough not having the money to compete and having to balance the books for sure.
We don’t have a bigger net spend than the oil money clubs though do we.
According to figures as unreliable as transfermarkt, we have a higher net spend than the oil states have chosen to declare.
Exactly
When United eventually sell to oil money at least we can look back on a time when United had a genuine competitive relevance. Unlike other teams that only became relevant with the injection of oil cash.
Ah the old conspiracy theories...
Oil money is bad! You already have it.
Did City steal that musical intro from the Chicago Bulls? If so, was it before or after "The Last Dance"?
Wtf is this shit at the City game.
Small time.
Small time.
The idea that City aren’t cheats is a bigger conspiracy theory at this stage.
They’re fecking awful. Our game against them was really sad. Two shite teams resigned to a relegation battle.
Like most things at City these days, lifted from other clubs.
Aye, because its City who were once caught match fixing with Liverpool right? Oh no, thats United.
You guys are a far better team all round than them imho because at least you play football.
You can throw a lot of accusations at Everton, but I'm not sure that's one of them.
Great tactics from Everton. Just twat Haaland in the first minute.
Haaland on the floor.
Haaland is comfortably ahead of everyone in the golden boat race that I'm not it matters if he misses a few matches through injury.
You’re talking about something that happened well over a hundred years ago, amongst players whose careers were about to be cut short by war, and equating it to the entire relevant history of your tinpot club being built on the back of financial doping, cheating and having the state and financial power to bully UEFA and CAS into submission?
Had no clue Hassenhuttle was sacked
This Leeds away vomit kit is horrifying, possibly even worse than our zebra kit.
Could do with a Leeds result today.
In 1915.
Awkwardly ten years before - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_football_bribery_scandal#:~:text=It resulted in the Manchester,playing for the club again.
The 1905 English football bribery scandal was an event of corruption that surfaced at the conclusion of the 1904–05 football season in England. It centred on the accusations that Manchester City player Billy Meredith had offered a rival player from Aston Villa a bribe to purposely lose their final league match of the season between the teams.
It resulted in the Manchester City manager (Tom Maley) and former chairman (W. Forrest) being banned from English football sine die, two directors (Allison and Davies) suspended for seven months, a further five directors dismissed, and a total of 17 players banned from ever playing for the club again. Among the players was Billy Meredith, who was banned from football for 18 months and transferred to City's local rivals Manchester United before the end of his ban
Haaland is Ruud, Alvarez is Saha.
Tarkowski inches away from absolute disaster there

Again, more corruption around overspending, seems it's in the clubs DNA
No chance of Everton, Leeds or Brighton doing anything today I'm afraid.
Pst, he didn't realise a decade before City were done for the same thing
Bit awkward...

That then led to City being caught breaking an old style ffp by paying your players more than you were allowed to though.
Newcastle play with such great energy. It’s the sort of conviction you often see from our lads once we go a goal down.
Bernardo Silva
Ayew, yes him, has given Palace lead at Bournemouth.
There’s something beautiful about players getting booked for diving.
If Wolves do go down, Neves?
