Man Utd Thread:

The MF has been badly mismanaged, they aren't that bad

Utd don't need signings, they have 16 senior internationals to fit into 11 slots, and some excellent development prospects coming though, and its not like they have an excessive number of games to plan for, they need to start by getting the best out of what they've got

Are Utd objectively any worse on paper than Villa Chelsea Newcastle Brentford? No. Therefore they don't need signings at this time, they need to deploy effectively the talent they have in the building. The most recent urgent signing they needed was a GK and they now have a good one, they have 20 quality players vying for 11 places, its not rocket science

As i was saying, the players are there to make a stab at it in the short term

One HUGE positive is that Garnacho Rashford and Sancho aren't there to derail things, Rubens legacy?

His signings in the year in charge was fairly decent then again he was just the coach and someone else was doing the transfer business?

According to t'internet the squad is a composite of x10 Pep Wilcox, x7 John Murtagh, x6 Dan Ashworth and x5 Ed Woodward signings

Recruitment is the be all and end all, they need talent ID people that aren't going to let the best players in the North West slip by nevermind rest of Eng, Europe and globally

Bruno is some operator from the halfway line on, all hail Ed Woodward (also responsible for Maguire, Shaw, Dalot and Amad), its a funny concoction but really highlights the need for stability at technical and managerial level

Pope, Coleman, Digne, Nzonzi, Stones, Wharton, Shaquiri all bad misses

Pep Wilcox,

Who is Pep Wilcox?

Liverpool's worst run of form since the 1950s

Get used to the new normal...

Being above United?

I hope you enjoyed it while it lasted.

Shame, lad was really coming into his own the last spell of games. Cunha will get his place back and they'll miss that impact off the bench, hopefully Lacey will see minutes now. Unfortunately leaves them relying on Shaw and Dalot for the left back position now.

Someone like Ancelotti - if he can manage egos and boardrooms in Madrid he can manage those boys. Let Carrick stay on and coach for the lads who love to chat about DNA.

Now watch as a I contradict myself...if things are going well and the vibes are good, then maybe let Carrick play out? He will do as he's told and steady things without looking for a multimillion pay-out when he gets the chop.

Are the egos a problem any more? Not shipped out? Amorim at least got that right.

The problem with Ancelolotti is he is 66, would cost a gazillion and bring his own people in, meaning even if he is a success, United are doing all this again in 2 years.

Mazraoui very good at LB, Dorgu went full Bale there for a couple of games, interesting to see how that evolves when he's back, 10 weeks a bad kick in the stones

Shaw been grand there the last 2 games in fairness but I just can't trust the lad, same with Dalot on the other side.

Its a World Cup year.. Players will be mindful of getting picked and will play better

Both I agree on, but there's a fair chance both will be in their respective WC Squads if they keep this form to end of the season.

Begs the question, does he start for Utd because he plays for Portugal, or does he start for Portugal because he plays for Utd? Yoro could do a grand job at RB in the style of Ben White and take a bit of learning from time alongside Maguire or de Ligt

Dorgu out for 10 weeks...been having a good season...was nearly contemplating breaking my stance on not picking Utd for my fantasy team

Dalot doesn't start for Portugal unless there are injuries. Cancelo at RB and Nuno Mendes at LB. Semedo and Joao Neves have also played RB for them recently.
