Genie Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 They are run ridiculously badly, its papered over by their enormous revenue. I said it before, but what on earth are their 60 scouts doing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep likes of Rojo and Jones still there. They gave both new 4 year contracts about a year ago. Matic looks like he'll remain their DM, lost a yard of pace last season and was a real weak link in the run in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played them when they'd just lost 3 straight under Moyes and he was starting to be seriously under pressure. 3-0 win, Cleverley actually scored the third with a Messi style run through the centre of defence. Later in the season we went 1 up at OT with lovely Westwood free kick before completely capitulating 4-1. Moyes was sacked two weeks later. That season we beat Man. City and Chelsea at home and won away to Arsenal. Also drew 2-2 at Anfield so we actually had a reasonable record v top 6 that year. Man. United finished 7th. We've drew with them 1-1. But I think that was the following season (before Sherwood came). We began great by winning 3 out of 4 (Gabby's goal at Anfield), drawing home with Newcastle. We've also beaten Hull and it was Grealish first cameo. However, we went into bad run beginning with losing to Arsenal at home, Chelsea, QPR and Spurs. We had a long run without scoring. Was it our first goal against Utd? Benteke scored a lovely goal. I think Gabby was sent off too. I don't think we've won a lot that period, when we had Benteke back. But we had a win away against Palace or whoever was it. Then back again to one of the worst runs before Sherwood coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are renewing contracts to average players in the hope that they'll get some money for them instead of letting their contract run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't wanna come to them for obvious reasons. Pogba really is saving their midfield. Take Pogba out and we got a better midfield than them.

They have some kind of complex where they can't be seen to be walking away from a deal because it's too expensive. It's like they can't be seen to miss out on a target.

It was a proper second string United side though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Dybala is off, priced himself out of the move by the sounds of it, £200k a week wages (which isn't a lot for utd) and £12m agent fees can you imagine lukaku if he gets unhappy and stops putting a shift in...

Get the feeling him and Fergie had already fallen out so he was played to run the gaunlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Hands up, who thought utd would still be a shit show for this long? They remind me of ourselves when we first got relegated (all relative of course), chucking loads of money at the problem without having any sort of plan.

I hope they just continue to decline into irrelevance, finishing about 10th every year.

villalad21 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) They are linked with Eriksen. Would be amazed if this happened. They don't know how to use "number 10's" look at Kagawa, i know he's played for them for a long time but look at Mata as well. Been nowhere near as good as he was at Chelsea.

Mic09 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Why are many big clubs so lazy in the scouting department? Kids do a better job on FootballManager and know better than to spend £80million on players when a similar alternative can be found in Europe. Sanchez, Mata, Maguire, Wan-Bissaka... surely, Man U can do better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
