I find it extremely amusing that their hordes of seemingly lobotomised fans blame the Glazers for all their recent failures when it was, in fact, old baconface who left them in such trouble.

In his 27 years at the swamp, he became an omnipotent despot, controlling every possible aspect of the club and bullying and ultimately sacking anyone who dared cross him.

This meant that the club had no footballing infrastructure and his departure left behind, not only a black hole but also a club uniquely unsuited to 21st century football.

And it's glorious.

Instead of having a complete reset after Fergie left, they have wasted so much on trying to remain relevant. Long may it continue.

For a professional footballer Rashford has terrible body language, if he was my teammate I'll be giving him a right mouth full. He does nothing but walk around looking totally uninterested, doesnt defend. Only chases a ball if its hit near him such an over rated player

He's also now one of the highest paid players in The Premier League which makes his actions even more unforgivable

I've had this discussion with a couple of (match going) rag friends, apparently, as the Glasers appointed Woodward and the stream of managers they've pissed through in the last decade, it's their fault. Guess it's the same nonsense as when a government minister carries the can for the actions of one of his heads of department when they fuck up

Had similar conversations, and yet I,ve never heard any criticism of any manager appointed or any player purchased since the pisscan left, convinced this is it, this time the glory days are just around the corner. You'd think 10 years down the line they'd just acknowledge their shit.

They need to sort that midfield out and get someone next to Casimero, trouble is the water carriers in Fred and McTominay aren’t good enough and are looking to be offloaded. They will be in deep trouble when the group stages of the champions league start.

As much as I agree, I'm not even convinced Casemiro is 'good enough' for the levels they're trying to get to.

He lacks mobility and the ability to control the game, which is what most top class holding midfielders can do these days.

As for Rashford, he still plays like a school boy. Chasing everything that goes into channels, and hitting shots as hard as he can from 40 yards, it's almost embarrassing.

They got lucky last year as Chelsea and Liverpool were shite, same can't be said this year, and Newcastle will be much stronger as well.

Give a manager £400m to spend on players he wants and somehow its still the glazers fault.

When you see it in black and white.
Spent 400 million.
On what....
A midget centre half.
The cabbage patch kid who is finished.
Mount who's never been any good.
Sancho is he was 5 quid it's was to much.

Oh and a keeper who doesn't suit how they play.
The guys a joke and completely out of his dept .
Fantastic

Madrid don’t get rid of players who are still useful for them, Casimero with is age is very much a stop gap who they shelled out big money on. Finding someone who can do what Rodri does for us will be a very hard task. They haven’t had anyone capable since Carrick.

You could say they haven't had anyone capable in any position for the last 10 years.
Literally every player they have is shit
 
Casemiro much like fernandes are GOOD players dont get it twisted, the fact that they are surrounded by bang average players coupled with the media hype has made united fans believe they are great players

Yup, their fabled Academy when have they actually produced a decent player? You’d probably have to go back to the likes of Scholes and co everyone after that seems to be over hyped shite that ends up at Sunderland or whoever Steve Bruce is managing.

they sneeked that through how much did they lose on that deal
Click to expand...
I didn't realise they got such a good deal....

The Brazil international, who joined United from Shakhtar Donetsk for £47m in 2018, called his time at Old Trafford "a true dream".
"Today ends one of the most beautiful stages of my career," the 30-year-old said on social media.

It is understood United will receive 10m euros (£8.62m), with an additional 5m euros (£4.31m) in potential add-ons.

State of this from Peter Crouch

"In those central positions, imagine if it was with a Kane or Rashford in front of him“

He is referring to Phil playing central for England so wtf is Pope Fishcake doing there?

don't forget Brighton, doing wonders there for the last couple of years and looks like continuing this season too
