  1. Dave. How about we beat teams recently that played a low block and countered? We have been terrible recently at beating these teams – or am I deluded 🙂

  2. I would definitely keep both Varane and Casemiro this season but play a 4-2-3-1 after Xmas with Shaw, Martinez, Varane and AWB then Amrabat and Casemiro playing a double defensive pivote. Needs to be over a few games and I reckon we become a force. Bruno would be given the central but free role ahead of them. Antony on the left rather than the right, Pellistri/Garnacho on the right with Hojlund central. Rashford as his back up.

  3. ten hag clearly has a problem with man management. the way he forced ronaldo out of the club, maybe if it was maguire it would be understandable but its RONALDO, you dont treat the greatest player of all time the way he did. Also with sancho, if hes training and performing poorly ten hag should speak to him one on one and defend him in public and speak to him privately to make sure he gets better. Ten hag was the one who brought the fact that Sancho is training poorly to the public in the first place, to be honest I dont blame Sancho for that tweet. And now Sancho is training with the academy. Now there's rumours of a fallout with varane. Ten hag is too strict. Last season, rashford was 45 SECONDS late and ten hag benched him. Why give a punishment that heavy for something that small. 45 seconds, thats hardly anything. Ten hag needs to know when to be lenient

  4. I think it is. They are “win now” players and we clearly aren’t good enough. Time to set our ego aside and rebuild properly with young, hungry players like Arsenal did.

  5. UNITED's transfer policy has been 'quick fix' for the last 10 years. There is no long term vision due to how its upper management work. How can you have a long term vision when they change managers at such a rate? city were getting in the type of players their manager wanted before they even got him! ETH probably has a vision but needed big signatures to cover the gap. Keep the faith. Same happened with Sir Alex in the late 80's before his vision came to fruition. But money now is just ridiculous. Paying wages on reputation when the best years are behind them.

  6. Gabriel Menino > Andre

    I think there is other players that we need to prioritize selling rather than our legendary players. Luka Modric, Thiago Silva, Fernandinho are a few examples of older experienced players that were crucial to winning major trophies.

    Rashford has been underwhelming considering he’s the best paid player. Should we sell him? There’s major issues there! He providing negative numbers.

    I’ve been noticing that content creators love these rumors and false leaks that come out. If Ineos doesn’t get rid of reporters and people within the club releasing information the club will continue to rot.

  7. Great watch as always 👊🏿. I think the funny part about the whole Casemiro Varane discourse is that Madrid fans we got roasted relentlessly when both left saying that it was a bad decision but United fans are now learning why we took the money. Coz its no slight to them but as a club you have to learn when to move on even if it hurts at times. And i think we cashed out at the right time and kept moving on as a club. United buying them wasn't a bad thing either coz they are great players but they weren't coming there as their old hungry selves that they were in Madrid, they needed to be surrounded by solid talent and sort of letting them coexist in their roles for ne to see it working which is not an environment i think United could offer atm. Especially that midfield. What made Casemiro thrive at Madrid so much was how he was able to do the dirty work for Kroos and Modrić and simultaneously hold his own in that midfield but now hes not paired with a single world class midfielder anymore. I feel like a lot of United's planning over the years has been so haphazard and scattergun that you've basically ended up with a mish mash team that doesnt really lean into any one idea or vision. And so all the little things start to add up to each other eventually and you end up with this perpetual 10 year transition.

  8. I don't know how is this a conversation? Varane and casemiro won everything in their career and we need this kind of player in our club considering we got no winners in that team! Its easy to say let's sell them and sign young players and rebuild the team, the question is can we replace them easily? Players with their capability its hard to be find. We should keep them and sign players not sell them and replace them! Ronaldo, De Gea and now Varane and Casemiro, i don't know how we are having a conversation like this and not thinking about clearing weak mentality players like maguuire, tominay, jonny evans. Gettin rid of your players and keeping useless players

  9. As much it sucks we opted to sell Varane and Casemiro before Maguire and McTominay, it makes sense. I was very happy for them to join Manchester United since they are winners at Madrid but now since Casemiro is on the decline and Varane is barely fit we have to cash in on them. It's another shocking reminder how dreadful our recruitment policy.
