I don't even have confidence on our first team to do well let alone the 18's.I hope we use this competition to play our under 18's.
I'm not bothered by how well they'd do. I'd just like to see them gain the experience of playing in this competition, whilst the first team can play one game a week.I don't even have confidence on our first team to do well let alone the 18's.
It's what we deserve, and frankly given how appallingly this club has been run, and managed, ending up in the bargain bin European cup was an inevitability at some pointFeck me. I would have thought EL is a given since we spent fecking 400M. We were talking about challenging for the title or at the very least safely in Top 4 at the beginning of the season.
Let's skip this altogether because it will be painful to watch and embarrassing for Man Utd to be in this tournament
I get your point but this is not how we should be managing our 18's.I'm not bothered by how well they'd do. I'd just like to see them gain the experience of playing in this competition, whilst the first team can play one game a week.
It would never happen anyway, I've no idea why people keep suggesting it.I don't even have confidence on our first team to do well let alone the 18's.
I do think that some could really benefit from it. Less risky than throwing them into a Premier League game. A bit like how Fergie used to field the kids in the early rounds of the league cup.I get your point but this is not how we should be managing our 18's.
Giving them minutes to rotate some senior players - yes absolutely.I do think that some could really benefit from it. Less risky than throwing them into a Premier League game. A bit like how Fergie used to field the kids in the early rounds of the league cup.
I wouldn't literally play the entire under 18 eleven. However, I'd field at least 5 or 6 of them.Giving them minutes to rotate some senior players - yes absolutely.
Just field the U18? Please no.
Small price to pay for a moment of pleasure.And incinerate his vocal cords.
I couldn’t agree more.Feck me. I would have thought EL is a given since we spent fecking 400M. We were talking about challenging for the title or at the very least safely in Top 4 at the beginning of the season.

All men must die… in the europa league conferenceWould love us to get into this because we are genuinely too shit to win the Europa. Get a proper manager in and hopefully win a european cup, best we can hope for.
We need a year to reset the way we play. We still will have FA cup and carabao cup.Hope we miss out on this
I doubt ETH will rotate much for ECL either. He most likely will see this as a trophy he’s likely to win and go for it, and besides with the new format you can only really rest players in the final 1-2 games without risking having to play extra two games.I don't want to play conference because must managers outside of Pep don't actually rotate anymore. It'd mean Bruno playing another 50+ game, 90 minutes season. I'd rather lose all our remaining games then be in the conference
If you mean something stupid like fielding a whole u18 team of course it won't happen.It would never happen anyway, I've no idea why people keep suggesting it.
I'm not suggesting it. It's a long running suggestion in regards to the EL and EC, play the reserves, play the kids, play a load of u21s, u18s etc.If you mean something stupid like fielding a whole u18 team of course it won't happen.
Frankfurt only under the assumption that only 6 European spots are distributed through the league - but it's more likely to be the 8th placed BL team to play in the ECL (if indeed the 5th CL spot is secured and Leverkusen win the cup in their final against Kaiserlautern who are in relegation battle in the second Bundesliga). So that would currently be Augsburg who played a single season in Europe in their history. Could also still be Heidenheim who play their first ever Bundesliga season.Real Sociedad, Frankfurt, Napoli, Marseille...all those teams are hovering in Conference League places right now so I don't think its absolutely as miserable as some make it out to be.
Same in Spain where Sociedad are very unlikely to be in ECL, it will go to the 7th placed team which is currently Betis (but could be Valencia or even Villarreal. Some good teams will be there and though we will be favorites, we won’t be massive favorites.Frankfurt only under the assumption that only 6 European spots are distributed through the league - but it's more likely to be the 8th placed BL team to play in the ECL (if indeed the 5th CL spot is secured and Leverkusen win the cup in their final against Kaiserlautern who are in relegation battle in the second Bundesliga).
