Is this the kind of unprovoked abuse which is tolerated round these parts?

Very unbecoming behaviour from a referee imo.

Meanwhile racial stereotyping goes completely unchallenged by the rest of you. A sorry state of affairs.

Why do you think people are talking about you?

Best of luck to Chris Smalling, a decent servant over the years. Sometimes threatened to be a very good player

Expressing my opinion is not looking a bite. Feel free to ignore it.

Pogba gets a hammering in the press for his attitude, being a "cancer" inside Utd etc but all reports or interviews from players, insiders etc always state that he's a positive influence in the dressing room. His agent and family are definitely a pain in the arse in the media. I think there's definitely an undercurrent of unconscious racism in how the British press treat Pogba (and Sterling).

Decent pro a good move for him.  Few if any of Ole targets delivered. Pure PR to not confirm the Cavani deal until the last hour of the deadline.

Everton, Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea all had much better transfer windows leaving Uniteds task to finish top 4 more difficult.

Despite the £90million or whatever bids, did the club ever really have any intention of spending that sort of money on Sancho or anyone else this window?

As a few talking heads have pointed out recently, serious transfer discussions rarely involve rejected bids these days. Clubs employ negotiators who chat behind the scenes and don't waste time offering money unless there's a very strong chance of acceptance.

United seems to have had a summer of rejection - can their transfer negotiators really have been that inept, or was it all just spin to keep supporters onside for as long as possible?

Ur hardly a reliable barometer, with ur "he's shite" mantra

There doesnt seem to have been any serious attempt to sign a CB. So that obv means that either Ole is happy with what he has currently and told to make it work, or that the club are happy with what is there and he was told no.

The Cavanni one reminds me a bit of the Zlatan deal, bit of a gamble but if it pays off every one looks so clever pretty much like the Zlatan one and if it doesn't they hold their hands up and say he was on a free.

I didn't say "he's shite", did I?

(Except when I just said it above).

Another disappointing summer, thats the 3rd summer transfer window in a row where Woodward hasn't delivered. I can remember leading up to summer 2018 and all the reports were United were going to spend £200m and we ended up with Fred and Dalot.

On the face of it signing Van Der Beek, Cavani & Telles for £50m is excellent business and if United had managed to Dembele in on loan I'd have been happy enough with it in the circumstances, can understand too leaving Telles to the last minute as they've got him on the cheap.

Dortmund wanted too much money for Sancho and earlier on in the summer I thought just pay it but United can't keep paying over the odds for every player so there's logic too not paying what they wanted but not having replacement lined up on loan earlier isn't good enough.

United were always up against it at the start of the season given the lack of pre season and ideally needed signings early but prepared to cut them some slack given who Ole's main target and how that dictated anyone else United were in for. 

Arsenal & Spurs have spent a lot more than I expected, both clubs have bigger financial problems than United but have done well this summer and both will fancy their chances of finishing above United.

Sunday was not good enough but United aren't that bad, every single player looks miles off the pace; Its not just a few of them its the lot of them; I've no idea whether Ole is good enough but after last season he deserves a chance to prove himself but can see why he's under huge pressure given Poch is available. Its going to be a huge month when they get back from international duty.
