No surprise. He’s been dropping hints for months that he’d like a new contract but nothing happenedBenni McCarthy confirmed as leaving by The Athletic
The finish always gets me. Exceptional the way he shifts his body and moves his hips to just place it across the keeper and totally wrong-foots him.
Agreed, it was more midfield/defence/goalkeeper that held us back.Ruud was never the reason we slipped during his years with United.
Thanks. If you’re right, I don’t find any particular reason to distrust your analysis, there are a few hypotheses available as to why United have contacted him for a role.
1) The New Guys (Rats/Blanc/Brails/Wilc*x/Asswort/Berra/etc) wants him as the next manager, undermining Ten Hag in a deft move, and are completely oblivious to the fact that anyone working with him for a while would laugh at the idea of him replacing anyone in such a job. They lay their deft plans on the bases of a bit of charisma and a bit of niceness.
2. Ten Hag wants him, anyone really, as long as they’re Dutch and not competent enough to challenge his autistic tactics. The New Guys, having spent sic months to evaluate Ten Hag and sounding out alternatives , have concluded that he not only shall have a new contract, he shall be given increased power and total reign over any decision in the club going forward.
3. The New Guys, having decided that from now on the football people (Wilc*x and Asswort (sshhh…)) should have a thorugh say on devisions oertaining to building a consistent way to do things regarding style of play, profile of coaches and players, and yet cooperate with Ten Hag on what staff and team lacks in order to improve. They have together (sssh) identified the need for someone who a) can understand the head coach and follow his lead when it comes to tasks and instructions, and is good at gaining trust with players, help them build their own carreers and capabilities based on Ten Hag’s ideas of what the team needs, being a mentir and specialist trainer rather than a head coach or evwn a tactical coach. Someone who can help getting players like Rashford up to their best and maybe prohibit new ‘Sancho-cases’ from developing? They have done their due diligence on Ruud and talked to their connections in Dutch football as well, and know that this is exactly what Ruud is good at. He is self aware and intwlligent, and knows this too, hence being more interested in a specialized role at a big club doing what he can, rather than a manager role lower in the system, doing what he’s not good at.
Other hypotheses, or do these cover it?
Strengthens the case Branthwaite will become a United player having played for Ruud
I’m buzzing we’re trying to bring RVN back. Such a quality player. Top top ST. Will help our young forwards.
Such a weird running style but knew how to put the ball in the back of the net.That picture takes me back to such a good place
If he can improve Rasmus and Rashford then he will be earning his money.Could definitely be a bit of a mentor to Zirkzee IF he signs of course. Yes I know he is a very different forward to Ruud but can still offer advice
Proof is in the pudding. If not, he will leave again. But it is worth a try imoIf he can improve Rasmus and Rashford then he will be earning his money.
It is not that long ago that Carrick was on our coaching staff and we would have thought he would improve our midfielders on the defensive side.
Next United manager IMO
Was waiting to see when these comments would start.Next United manager IMO
Absolutely loved him as kid growing up.
If I remember rightly, we signed him the same year we got the reversible top. I remember walking to the shop with my mum absolutely couldn't wait to get Rio on one side and Ruud on the other.
Apparently you could only get the name printed on the white side so went with Rio.
Ruud is probably one of the best finishers I've seen.
As a kid, I used to have SSN on round the clock, funny when I look back, but I remember the images of him on the training ground in agony when he got his injury before the initial move
First season I started supporting United was that season and my first jersey was the reservable kit. Remember Ruud scoring twice in a fa cup tie comeback win against Villa wearing it. He was my favourite player from then, although I had Keane 16 on the back.
Rio signed the summer after and he never would have played in that top
