From the express, nothing against Everton as i think they have a good team and manager but shows how far they have fallen behind us, Liverpool, Tottenham etc:
Manchester United's Argentina international defender Marcos Rojo, 29, was denied a move to Everton on transfer deadline day because the Glazers see the Toffees as a direct rival

That’s exactly the quote I posted above mate. It’s brilliant to think that we are so good we aren’t even considered a ‘rival’ anymore.

Yes, their midfield needed upgrading just as much as the back line, the central midfield is mediocre - Pogba has ability but turns up only when he feels like it, Matic is done at this level and McTominay is another overrated future Sunderland captain. It was a master stroke letting Herrera go and not bothering to recruit anyone decent to replace him. Long live Ed!

Herrera is a weird one for me, I feel like he was hardly first choice, but also a much more effective player than what they have. Weird how him and Fellani leaving has made them worse when most of us laugh at the fact the were ever there to begin with

They have close to zero attacking options from the bench. In fact it's the weakest they've been since Ferguson left

Hadn't really thought of this-good point. .
Wait till rashford pulls up with a hamstring when the Thursday /Sunday Europa league sideshow begins in earnest...at least the penalty kicks will be all pogbads....

He's still young though. Time is on his side.

Lingard: 113 PL games, 10 assists
Di Maria: 27 PL games, 10 assists

The only decent rag - a former ST holder at the swamp -at work told me this morning that he hates the fucking weasel.

He said he’s more interested in his social media profile than he is in playing football.

People talking like the world will cave in when Pep leaves. We ain’t built like the rags who got lucky with one manager in their entire existence in Fergie who dominated for 20 odd years. We’ve had Mancini and Pelegrini win leagues in recent times, as a club we give the manager the tools and environment to be successful. If we ever neglect that we will end up like the rags.

I'm not suggesting the world will cave in. I'm not sure how you have arrived at that conclusion based on what I wrote.

What I said is there will be a drop off in standard.

And there will be because we currently have the greatest manager on planet earth. Ever.

That said, and like I said in my post you quoted, the gap will still be huge.

Such is the gaping chasm between both clubs.

Apologies I was referring to Neville living in hope that we go to dust when Pep leaves. I get a lot of rags saying that to me. The club has been run light years ahead of everyone else before Pep got here and he is reaping the benefits now with the return in trophies, the next manager who comes in will get all that support too hopefully. One interesting fact is that the last 3 managers of City have won the league. United have had 3 managers in their entire existence that have achieved that.

They have both mastered the art but Mctominay edges it on appearances made.

Fair enough.

It seems like it’s part of the induction course when you become a member of the rags' first team squad.

I don’t ever remember Tom Daley diving at Villa, but within weeks of arriving at rag central, he was a master at it.

A Villa fan on the radio earlier said " I hated it when he dived playing for us". He's always been a cheat.
 
Watching yesterday's match, I am of the opinion that WanBissaka is the best acquisition that the rags have made in the last 10 years. Unfortunately for him he has sentenced his career to a lifetime of midtable mediocrity.

If Mctominay as the answer I shudder to think what the question is.

Who is on the cover of the latest Pro Evolution Soccer alongside Lionel Messi?

You'd have thought they'd have learned from that time FIFA put it to a public vote and ended up with Jordan Henderson on the front.

ETA: this wasn't even a public vote, they actually chose him.

Totally agree but whoever comes in our standard will drop a tad.

To be fair, they are probably the four most recognizable shirts in the videogame-playing world. With that in mind, you can't use pogba or Sanchez cause they won't be there long, instantly making the cover out of date.
Plus, his image rights are more than likely rather inexpensive, as opposed to their "superstars".
