Haaland didnt even join yet and he is already talking about him and his cnut agent.
For what is worth Chelsea chased him when they sacked Lampard. He rejected their offer because he want more control rather than just being a head coach and they got his apprentice in Tuchel insteadBut then why has he never managed in the top clubs like RM, Bayern etc?
Hold your horses boys both mou and lou were pretty tough when it came to player power and that sort of stuff but we all know how that ended

Yeah, I am not surprised the McTominay fan club are on my case. He was defensive and it showed.
His thin skin is just another sign the guy knows he's not good enough.
Maybe has something to do with his reputation as a "control-freak". Many club hierarchies limit the power of the manager. Man Utd, on the other hand, seems to suffer from a vacuum of football knowledge and competence into which managers like Rangnick can exercise a lot of power, as long as it doesn't affect the club's commercial success.But then why has he never managed in the top clubs like RM, Bayern etc?
fecking hell, just seen his comments on players that don’t want to be at United or are recovering away from the training ground. Where the feck has this line been in the last 8 years. Start turning up or feck off lads, the club is way bigger than you’ll ever be
Wonder if this no bullshit approach is why Martial wants to hightail it out of here after a week under RR.
With a straight talker, you always know where you stand.
The era of pussyfooting about is over
Stay baffled.Too many replies to respond to each individually.
I didn't mean to be negative about the new manager (or to big up Ole) I just found it quite funny reading the comments last night after seeing the lineup. It was a terrible XI – not the young players, more so the use of the senior players – the game panned out as bad as expected and pretty much nothing was changed during the game. It was exactly as if Ole was still in charge but post-match the praise continued as if it was some sort of genius management.
Baffled me a bit.
Been a useful dead rubber for my ignore list, too.Not only did we finally have a dead rubber to play with again, absolute cretins moaning about the way it was used at this time of year SadCafe strikes again, no matter what is going on, some on here will always find a reason to cry and moan. I've already forgotten the other night, it was meaningless, yet you'll have some sad acts who have banked that performance and will bring it up in the future as a stick to beat the manager with.
Good post. Poor thread, generally. Too many wannabes. Both Ole I-can’t-let-go, or Ole-was-useless is tiresome now. Stop trying too hard people.He's almost too good. I can't watch him without feeling a general inferiority complex infiltrating my being, and a strong sense of self-loathing. Before I know it I'm self-flagellating whilst thinking about my many failures and mis-steps in life.
I liked the way he's dealt with Pogba's contract question. Clearly, if the player is not interested in playing for us, he shouldn't be here. It's better to give a chance to players who want to prove themselves with us, and who's willing to fight rather than someone who thinks he's second coming of Djemba Djemba without being able to do half the things Djemba did in his time here.
Isn't this what everybody's been saying all along? Or is it just me.
Makes no sense to keep a player at the club who doesn't give his best foot forward for this club, no matter how talented he may be.
So lingard, martial and Pogba are probably gone in the summer. None of them are reliable so not worried about them leaving. We just need to make sure we buy proper replacement this time. Really hope that someone like rangnick will make sure we never buy these type of players again.

You really want to continue with Pogba and martial? I do not want players who doesn't want to perform for the club. All I hope that the club becomes smarter in transfer market. Was martial always a lazy player? I don't know the answer. But I hope that people involved in future transfer business will use it as an example before making a decision.Hindsight 20/20.
Would you have said that after Martial's debut? Or when we brought Pogba home?
Lots of tactical and transfer hindsight geniuses popping out of the woodwork lately.
No idea honestly. Do not want anymore raiola client even if it is Haaland.So Pogba replacement is Bellingham/Haidara, what about the other two do you reckon?
We are already stuffed in attack, I doubt we need replacements for Martial/Lingard. If anything, players like Elanga or Diallo or Mejbri could step up to take their places in the squad. We need a Pogba (and Matic) replacement in the short term and a Cavani replacement in the longer term.So Pogba replacement is Bellingham/Haidara, what about the other two do you reckon?

If anything lvg sure as hell was entertaining at the very leastRalf: This is what i'm doing....MUFC is one of the summits of world football for any player, if you don't want to be here, i'm not going to convince you.
Mou: You embarrassed me, i'm not playing you, you're a virus.
LVG: Hair pulling is sex masochism
Raiola only does what his client wants. He doesn't actively come out and seek transfers for his players until he's instructed to. Why do you think he's only speaking up for Pogba continuously when he's kept shut about his other clients until they want a move or it's contract renewal time?No idea honestly. Do not want anymore raiola client even if it is Haaland.
It’s only natural he will wait his contract run down.Yes. A year & half is an eternity though. The club's been in disarray for most of his time here.
He was very happy in the summer with Ronaldo & Varane's arrivals. I don't think he wanted out then.
All I'm saying is I don't think it's so clear cut. This is his last big money contract, it's only natural he would wait and see how things progress with Rangnick here no?
Yeah, but still the most boring football I have ever seen. It’s like his words were trying to make up for it !If anything lvg sure as hell was entertaining at the very least
None of them has winning mentality despite lot of talents. Avoid them at all costs.Of course not. But what you said earlier was just platitudes. Everyone wants a smarter transfer gurus. No manager, DOF goes into the market thinking that they would buy lazy players. One or two players of every three transfers will always fail even for a team like Real Madrid.
Also, the players mentioned failed partly due to the multiple-change in managers with each having different footballing philosophies at critical times of their development.
Martial was broken by Jose; and Pogba, to date, 2-3 managers have not been able to get the best of his unique skillsets. Let's see if Rangnick can get the best out of Pogba.
Lingard was given more time simply because he was an academy lad. And partly he had personal issues and partly he though he could be the next CR7 in terms of marketing ie distracted which arrested his development.

Nothing to do with Rangnick. His agent is Raiola and he just wants as much money as possible.
We will be better off without him. He is a flashy player you can’t rely on. People can think Ronaldo is a primadonna but he is the antithesis of it and Pogba really. If Pogba had half his application and will to win he will be a really good player.
Power is with club/manager as opposed to players and agent wagging the tail. Raiola is toxic. Pogba is just a bit spoilt.Yes. A year & half is an eternity though. The club's been in disarray for most of his time here.

Can you share the article?We had a couple of players leaking to the media about how amateur McKenna's coaching methods were after all.
