The World Cup has not been kind to United with the performances of their players being very ordi

Close the thread

That's the season over now before it starts...

Someone hand the cup to Man City

That's not what I am saying at all.

Frankly watching Utd play atm bores the arse off me.
I would usually defend Mourinho but now I am starting to wonder is his management having an effect on these players?
There is no doubting the talent of, eg, Lingard and Rashford but they seem lost on a pitch, fitting in to the system.

At the WC, did we see the Mourinho effect with how these players performed?

Remember how Damien Duff used to play for Blackburn? He was electric, and his performances got him the move to Chelsea.
His wings were cut, he slotted into a defensive style of play under Mourinho and for me, he was never the same player after, at club or country level.
Granted,  he got his premiership medals, and performed to a very high standard but his play was nowhere near as exciting, just, well, normal.

nary, which is what Utd looked like last year.

Based on WC:
De Gea - Very average
Young - Steady/reliable/boring
Smalling/Mata/Herrera - didn't even make it to WC
Jones/Martial/Rashford - Couldn't get starting for their national team
Lingard - Just exactly what does he do on a football field, apart from waste chances?
Matic - Steady/Boring
Lukaku - Very poor form especially in big matches
Fellaini - had a good enough world cup, but only makes a mark when brought on as an impact sub.
Teams seem to be able to deal with him when he starts.
Rojo - Part of a disaster of an Argentina side. Being touted as part of the deal to bring Maguire to OT, so can't be that well thought of.

Two players at teams who didn't make it to the WC -  Bailly (constantly injured) and Sanchez (shocking loss of form)

IMO, only Pogba looked anything like a world class player at the tournament.

And now, the great white hype of the English media, Maguire, is set to join them for 80m!

2018/19 looking very boring already; where is the spark going to come from? - I hope I'm wrong.

Jesus.miserable as f**k

Roscommon very average to be honest. Won't be too many worried about drawing the rossies
