Quite some stat from the Beeb... "Four of the past five 90th-minute winning goals in the Premier League by players aged 18 or younger have been for United: Federico Macheda in 2009, Marcus Rashford in 2016, Alejandro Garnacho in 2022 and now Mainoo."


Mainoo has started really well.

To come in at 18, play in arguably the most demanding role in the team and make the role his, is impressive.

It would've been very easy for Ten Haag to play the Brazilian fella and put Mainoo in sporadically.

He's very relaxed on the ball and plays that role well for a kid. I really like him.

Except that Mainoo's wasn’t in the Premier League

So scruffy Jim has hired a ceo who used to be a city executive and super Dave Brailsford to take the rags to the next level and to do this want to hire Waistcoat to do it. You couldn’t wish for anything better if you’re a city fan. I assume the next level is the championship

And waistcoat will bring in Henderson

Henderson and Casemiro in midfield

Brilliant. Please let this happen. Mason Mount is there already. That's Southgate's wet dream.
 
Apparently Scruffy now wants to build a 100,000 seater New Trafford stadium. The burden on the tax payer is growing to part fund Scruffy’s vanity project.

How anyone aside from Blue Hammer could think waistcoat is a good manager defies belief. He's perfect for the fa though. A non controversial yes man who'll never rock the boat. They don't want a manager, they want a pr man and he's perfect at that.
I sincerely hope the rags employ him.

He looks good.
But he's only in the England squad cos he's plays for the shit.
Or Southgate is sucking up to his new employers

Basically this

He looks a decent little player but he's played 14 games at senior league level. At almost any other club he wouldn't get a look in after so few games. It's not like it's even a Rico situation where he's been doing it in a team winning everything. This kid is in a mediocre team.

He would get his pants pulled down against good midfields at international level right now. Nowhere near the experience required yet.

Let him play in the under 21s for a bit. Never did the likes of Palmer any harm recently and now he's proving himself and rightly in the senior squad.

Sure you get the odd exception like bellingham coming in the team very young, but this lad is not on that level.

Why doesn't he just get on with his job and keep his mouth shut. As sure as eggs are eggs this ' let's make an enemy out of City because it makes me look good ' attitude is going to bite him on his arse if it doesn't transpire, he will look a right tit.

Yep, I didn't hear City giving it the Billy Big bollocks, they just got on with it.
