I still can't understand how United, the self-proclaimed biggest club in the world, could have picked Solkjsaer as their manager. When you look at his experience, successes, standing in the game, know-how, guile, gravitas, power, charisma etc. he is decidedly championship level. Off the top of your head you could reel out a list of probably 10 premier league managers of a standing more suitable to a club of their size. And when you look around Europe, that list at least doubles. It's baffling that they appointed a wet-behind-the-ears rookie who, when pitted against any of the big beasts of football management, is set to fail. They have definitely put themselves at a disadvantage and long may it continue.

They picked him because those early results made them think they had stumbled on a winner. Instead of delaying his appointment until the end of the season,just to make sure they did have a winner,they did the usual and hailed him as Pisscan II. They don't learn do they?

The rags will do what they've always done, despite their repeated denials, and that's throw money at the problem. If they triple or quadruple what Podgy is on at Spurs they'll get him. Money talks, and all that.

Not so sure this time. Pochettino would want complete control over who they got etc. The rags just want to make money and don’t want to spend very much. They could have gone for Poch now instead of OGS but didn’t. Need I say more?

So their squad is:

Keepers: De Gea, Romero, Grant, J Pereira

Fullbacks: Wan-Bissaka, Shaw, Young, Dalot, Darmian, Fosu-Mensah

Centre-Halves: Maguire, Lindelof, Bailly, Smalling, Jones, Rojo, Tuanzebe

Centre midfield: Matic, McTominay, Fred, A Pereira

Attacking midfield: Pogba (Listed here for practical purposes), Mata, Lingard, James, Gomes

Forwards: Rashford, Martial, Sanchez, Greenwood

The question is: who out of them would even get into our entire squad?

Keepers: I'd take Donut Thief as Eddie's back up - maybe. Hesitation would be that even though Bravo isn't as good at shot-stopping, he's a lot better fit to our overall game

Fullbacks: Wan-Bissaka wouldn't get in ahead of Walker or Cancelo. Shaw I'd take as back up to Mendy, provided he trimmed some fat from his arse and gut. No to the rest

Centre halves: Slabhead is the only one who'd make our squad - the rest, rubbish

Centre midfield: Hahahahaha. Nup. Not one of you

Attacking midfield: Only Carlton, and that would be as a luxury super sub type. He'd never start in any game of importance

Forwards: I'd take one of Rashford or Whatshisname but only as a third wheel to Aguero and Jesus, where I believe you may be able to squeeze someone in

That's 5 players from a squad of 30 that I've listed who would get into ours. Five. And yes, whilst we despise them which could be clouding my judgement, I challenge someone to come back at me with rational arguments to propose something other than what I have written.

For the club they profess to be they're in dire straits, and that is no exaggeration.

Are the rags suffering from Industrial Disease?

Or maybe they should be under Private Investigations.
 
It's so good to see how OGS was so 'ruthless' during the close season. While did he get rid off for not pulling their weight? Lumpofkak.
 
Talking to a couple of Leicester fans recently & asked them about Maguire. They said he really didn't have a great season for them last season and he's slow and easy to turn. "He's no Van Dijk" was the quote from one. £80 fucking million.
