Man Utd Thread:

It might get brushed over as Utd won  but Onana let in another soft one today. Made a few decent saves in the 2nd half but these mistakes need to stop and fast.

Casemiro being rightfully hooked at half time is a concern. His decline this season has been staggering but unfortunately Utds squad lacks somebody else truly capable of playing in that role alongside Amrabat.

Mount and Fernandes can't play together in this team. Both of them are poor out wide and if you play one of them in a more deep lying role it leaves the defence exposed.

Thought Garnacho was very good when he came on but part of me thinks being the impact sub is his best role at the minute but then again the only other option is Rashford whose recent performances probably deserve a spell on the bench.

As joyful as the win was today things are far from rosey. In their last 2 premier league games the build up play has been awful and it was only when they switched to last gasp desperation stuff that they got any rewards. Even against Burnley they relied on a moment of brilliance from Fernandes to get them through. They'll probably beat Sheffield Utd but you'd fear for them against City after that

Madrid are not selling good players. Casemiro has gone off like milk. Varane injured again...

This Onana dude needs to get his act together and fast. He's killing Utd. But he might also kill EtH.

This is problem when buying players at that age, run the risk of them becoming more injury prone or time catching up with them. Appears to be the case this season for Rafa and Casimero.
Obviously this is why Amrabat was brought in to help as CDM but with Shaw still out he has had to do a job for the team.

I have no sense of ETH being under pressure, get the injuries back in and a settled team and see where it goes from there. It's a perpetual cycle until the club changes ownership. I think that is the only way the reset button will be hit to any great affect.

Qatar now officially out of united sale process. Glazers have turned down $7 billion in cash so Sheik Jassim has pulled out of the process. I'd say they've told him they prefer Sir Jim's bid so Qatar will now go in search of another club. Reportedly interested in Inter Milan

A big week for the club off the pitch, interested to hear the breakdown of Radcliffe's bid. People forgot that 30% of the club is floated on the stock exchange with some heavy hitters involved, the share price is going to tank later on today; There not going to be happy but just hope there's no legal challengers which slow the process down.

You'd think Radcliffe was a pauper not someone who's business has a turnover of $61 billion.

He has really made a go of Nice. Turned them into world beaters... oh wait.
We really need the Glazers gone and not someone to enable them or prolong their reign of terror.

He's only going to be a minority shareholder 25% and pay the Glazers whatever billions they are looking but they will still be involved, just not with what's happening on the pitch?

Think that's what I gathered from the conversations on the radio on way to work this morning

Nice doing alright this season, 2nd in the French league unbeaten and beat the 1st and 3rd Monaco,PSG away.  He or his founding company Ineos has full control of Nice yet at United this deal will still mean the the Glazers are in charge.

Why did the Qatari fella's bid fall through?

Why did the Qatari fella's bid fall through?

His valuation and the Glazers valuation not being close enough do got fed up and left them to it

The glazers always favoured Sir Jims bid as he was massively overpaying for minority stake in the club but keeping them at the club where they can keep reaping the dividends plus retaining their voting rights

So what's the end game for JR then, I can't imagine he is going to be content pumping his own money in to enrich others?

He would then have the opportunity to buy them out, should it be profitable
