If Amrabat is so good. Why did no other club come in for him especially at £30m ???
Maguire and Evans playong for Manchester United vs arsenal thats about as backwards as it gets…One guy went down with a team and other should have left about about 2 seasons ago in my opinion…they are a hard watch
Another career waiting to be ruined by utd
Do you guys realize ten hag took over a Ajax team that was mainly from the academy which already had that style of play ingrained in them from a young age? That’s why it was so easy for them to play that way. He took over Man U with players that were used to playing counter attack for years he tried to mould them into that type of team and got smoked right away the first couple games. He fully said his best players are suited to playing transition football (Rashford and Bruno) so that’s what he’s going to have to do or else he’s gonna have to replace them with equally good players that fit position football philosophy. Had he gotten Frenkie last year we would look a lot better but we didn’t. As for him spending 400m his first two years ok fine but do you guys really think Pep could get Sane, gundogan, Bernardo silva, Kyle walker stones Benjamin mendy Ederson and whoever else he bought in those first two years in todays market for less than 400million ? Not to mention pep works with a competent board and owners with ambition. The glazers could’ve easily put 90m out of their pockets into the club to get a centre back and buy amrabat or better yet go after (rice caicedo or another top midfielder ) if they had ambition but hey. Give that man some more time
Amrabat is a huge risk. He played well in the WC playing for his country (they always up their game for their country over the short duration of a WC – remember Kleberson?) in a very defensive system, which suited him. He has done nothing else in his career and notably no other big club bid for him.
The real game changer would be the Glazers gone.
For me United need two more signings,i would say two new central backs because our defence makes ONANA lost poor every single game.
We will see!
🇲🇦👍
I wonder is TEN HAG IS IN HIS RIGHT SENSES for still ALLOWING US TO SUFFER IN THE HANDS OF MAGUIRE
I guess it was too late to register him as united player..we missed this as well
Amrabat will get torn to pieces
People dissing on Maguire and Evans remember that Onana should've stopped the 2nd goal which changed the game.
Ericson was a waste. Lindelof was lucky to not to be sent off. Rashford scored with only one shot on target. Anthony both shouldn't even be allowed a place on bench of big clubs like Man utd let alone get a start.
If he brings aggression, then what the Casemiro brings then??? Problems keep coming and only excuses keep given yet solution is always absent
League already had leaders, and so called biggest club in the world has not done with transfer business yet! Criminal.
Why are United taking players on loan and shopping in the bargain bucket for a £4m goalkeeper from Turkey. Ironic if FFP designed to slow down the world’s greatest team (that worked well 😂) has hampered the rags.
He won’t same as the other players ain’t lol
Why would Amrabat not be the same as in the world cup.
Is he going to grow horns ?
Do we think Evans or McGuire is better than Tuanzebe who never let us down ?
This american guy is clueless 😅
Did he just say mount and eriksen are better passers 😅. Joker !
Finally, a bit of common sense being said on this show and network 🙌🏻.
It's mad that at CB Man Utd had Varane, Martinez, Lindelof and Shaw all get injured in the matter of 2 games for them to be left with Maguire and Evans. A player like Maguire should be able to be a 5th choice at pretty much any team in the world because the expectation is he will never have to play if literally 4 players are ahead of him but for both the 5th and 6th choice to end up having to play shows ridiculously bad luck in a short space of time.
😂 You gotta admit, Jules is always on point 👌
Feels like they've never seen him play
Bench casemiro for the rest of the season
Why are these fools putting a player off even before he kicked a ball. This is always the case with a Manchester United player. Sick of this bullshit!!
Hard to make an impact when he has arrived injured
Bro they find any way to slight Man United. Gab is so blatant with it lol
Isn't Amrabat also play under ETH in Utrech ?
U dont drop casemiro . Games we need more possession casemiro should be played at cb next to Martinez
Why can't we expect or demand World Cup Amrabat?🤔
The guy wasnt even starting for Fiorentina 😂
