It's every time they lose a game.
Same with Neville and Keane both doing an autopsy on the club in front of millions of fans of other clubs who just aren't interested that utd are shit.
It's fucking boring so why don't the media and Sly just ignore them and talk about some of the other clubs in the Premier league once in a while.

We will never agree on Pogba. I think he was over-rated and over-hyped from the start. He had a few good matches and spells in matches and looked good on youtube. I don't even think he was outstanding for that great French team. I thought he was carried by better players who had a lower profile like Kante. I admit to being biased because I met him once in Manchester and he was also a total arsehole off the pitch.

I just think you're being biased to be honest but that's my opinion

I used to live in Italy for a while when he was playing in Serie A, so I saw him play most weeks before he rejoined the rags and he was quality.

I'm not someone who will just say someone wasn't good just because they played for a team I can't stand.

I just think it's a bit disingenuous to say that he was carried by the French team and French fans wouldnt say that. he played his part just as much as most of the players and put in some good performances.

Do you really think he got 91 caps for one of the best international teams around being carried? Scored in a world cup final and was one of their only performers in Euro 2020, a tournament where Mpabbe had a stinker.

I dunno, I just shoot straight and don't mind saying someome was a good player, no matter who they ended up playing for.

He was in the Serie A Team of the year of the many times in a row. UEFA player of the year. FIFA young player of the year etc etc

Read the "explanation" on Sky website by that oxygen thief Reddy........she literally copied word for word what Simon Jordan had said a few hrs earlier on talkshite.
Jordan is a twat....but he had them bang to rights on the 'statements'.
...and made Jim White look more of an incompetent fool than ever, and that takes some doing.

Aside from all the Grenwood stuff going on at the moment, this is another example of a career that has gone to shite at Shambles FC.
Yes, they have signed some absolute average dross and whoppers over the past few years but the question should be asked more....how many careers have gone off the rails at the swamp and how much money has been wasted along the way? How much of a hit do you reckon they'll be taking on this new Danish lad in a 3/4 years time when he signs for Everton?

This struck me last week when Pep was biting back at our transfer policy
"We wanted Maguire, we wanted Alexi Sanchez but it did not happen because they got better offers"

he knew exactly what he was saying and who knows if it was directed at one of our targets this summer, Choose wisely all that glitters is not gold
 
This is funny, I hope it's true:

Greenwood 'fears he can't join a Saudi club due to Ronaldo feud'

The 21-year-old is looking for a new club following news on Monday that he would leave Manchester United after they conducted an internal investigation into his future.
www.dailymail.co.uk www.dailymail.co.uk

"While the Portuguese superstar was playing for Real Madrid - where he won numerous honours and highlighted his status as one of the greatest players of all-time - Greenwood was reported to have openly said Ronaldo's career was 'dead' - slang for 'finished' - when referencing the 38-year-old's perceived decline.

He received a telling off from United chiefs at the time who felt it demonstrated a lack of maturity on his behalf.

The comment emerged in March this year, with the pair having previously spent a spell together as team-mates when Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford for a second time in 2021.

However, the report went onto say how when the forward was informed of Greenwood's comments, he was infuriated, and urged Saudi League chiefs to never make a move for the Englishman.

One source told The Sun: 'Ronaldo isn't known for his thick skin. He was really annoyed at what Greenwood said — but he has good reason to be when you consider what Ronaldo has achieved in his career and where Greenwood finds himself.

'Greenwood had his nose put out of joint when Ronaldo signed for United because he ended up playing a lot less than he had hoped for, so their relationship was difficult.'"

Ronaldo was the first major name to move to the Saudi Pro League when he joined Al-Nassr at the end of last year and is reportedly hugely influential in the kingdom, meaning his anti-Greenwood sentiment is therefore likely to have a large impact on the situation.

The source added: 'Ronaldo is treated as royalty in Saudi and what he says goes."
 
Can't believe Manure haven't paid him off and ditched him being as their "the worlds biggest club"*

Is this the United way ? Good on Rachel to stand up to the wankers.

They have been shite for a decade now and haven't really been a truly elite club for 15 years or so. The Class of 92 was almost 32 years ago. I wonder when the point will arrive when the pundits stop saying: "This is Manchester United we are talking about." Mind you they still say it about Liverpool whose biggest glory days were 40 years ago. Our sports broadcasters are trapped in the past. In fact you could widen that to all news organisations because this country is obsessed with the past (not just in football coverage). Perhaps because the future of the UK is too painful to contemplate.

So he says he did not commit the acts he is accused of. But he has made mistakes serious enough to mean he can no longer play for utd . So what exactly are the mistakes he made, short of what he was accused of, that are serious enough to mean he can no longer be employed by them?

I've not really followed this story too much but that what I was thinking.

I think every man and his dog knows he is guilty as fuck. He knows it, United fans and owners know it, if it wasn't for the ladies protesting they would have kept ahold of their "asset"

I bet he will sign for Oldham in 2025. You can guarantee they will take a gamble on a player worth 30m+ potentially more. They did it with Lee Hughes

At least Lee Hughes had served a sentence for his crime.
