As long as we win the players will get more and more likeable and vice versa.
That is correct, but you also need drive to become a winner. Some of our players don't have enough of that.As long as we win the players will get more and more likeable and vice versa.
But that's universally true of all football fans everywhere?The majority of Redcafe.
United doing well = ''I love this squad.''
United doing badly = ''I can't wait to see the back of every one of these cnuts/cowards/unprofessional snakes etc. We need to bin them all and rebuild from scratch.''

Can you please name me one poster who said either the former or the latter?

loving bruno takes a special kind of dedicationI like Shaw. AWB. Varane, sort of. I love Bruno. I miss De Gea, for all his imperfections, and am looking forward to seeing what I make of Bayinder. I kind of respect and admire a few others; I am rooting for Garnacho and Hojlund.
I love to see Casemiro at his best, seems a decent sort too. Eriksen another proper footballer. Dalot has quietly grown on me. Licha is fun. I have no beef with a few others.
If we were winning then everyone will be saying they have drive and how likeable they are. Unless they're absolute cnuts everyone likes winners that's the way it is. See Rashford everyone liked him last season now not so much, he's the same player just delivering differently.That is correct, but you also need drive to become a winner. Some of our players don't have enough of that.
For non united fans, definitely.loving bruno takes a special kind of dedication

The last time United were doing genuinely well was in 2013, so the only player from the current squad who could have received love because United were doing well is Evans.
Pretty much this.Define "likeable".
Some of the best United teams had players who were, let's face it, utter cnuts, but we loved them because they were successful. And ruthless.
YupMaybe the moral of the story is to not conflate likability with competence.
Don't look up to players when the team is doing well, and don't dislike them as people when they're playing like shit.
Sancho
Lingard
Rashford
Martial
These are the poster boys of our lazy, overpaid and entitled culture, and amongst the least likeable footballers to have put on a United shirt.
Thankfully one is gone and anothers contract is expiring. How I wish we could sell the other two
Man how I despise this group!
In Rugby someone would have broken their jaws in the dressing room for their antics, I can guarantee you that.
Pogba was the guy who started the toxic culture though tbh.
When we bought him back Woody and Pogba thought he was as big as Messi and CR7 - how wrong they were!
Talent wise he was a generational player, but his attitude was absolute crap and ultrimately his ability never reached the heights of Messi and CR7 or Scholesy for that matter, although he definitely could have with the right attitude.
I remember Pogba for introducing this dreadful 'Tik Tok and dabbing' culture at United.
With him it was always more about social media posts, hair styles, advertising and dancing than football and winning.
He and Lingard really were a match made in heaven, they both never stepped out of puberty and had a 'blast' doing all that unprofessional stuff together 'enjoying themselves'.
Martial, Rashford and later Sancho all started their pro careers in that toxic and unprofessional dressing room culture that Pogba and Lingard created.
Woody let the infestation grow and there we are, years later still struggling with professionalism, attitude and culture at the club.
We can't expect to win again or become the 'United of old' as long as the culture is wrong.
We need strong leadership to enforce a zero tolerance policy and get rid of the bad lot, otherwise we're going nowhere.
It's like putting the cheapest chinese tyres you can find on a Ferrari only to complain about the handling.
If a strong policy at the club means some players don't want to play for us then they can feck right off.
I'd rather have a slightly less talented, but ultra commited and professional group that work together as a unit, believe in the manager and fight for the club than a collection of tossers.
I bet the Newport players were laughing their butts off in the dressing room about the amount of wimps in our squad.
Miss these two like you wouldn't believe.
Cheers!You make a lot of good points but I have never viewed Pogba as a generational talent. That is absurd to even read that. I'm not sure how you come to that conclusion.
Pogba as well. Thankfully he’s also gone.Sancho

And the two thirds of redcafe that watch our games and everything that goes on around the club and (somehow) still come to the conclusion that not dropping Bruno Fernandes is the problem.

Amazing bump! Hahahaha.
Love post above about DDG and Fred.....no joke.
Well yeah, DDG was a great keeper for us for years, and Fred was easily one of the most likeable players we've had in the last decade, even if his quality was inconsistent at best.
Where's the joke?
