Been funny listening to them this season.

Started with Moaninho being the greatest manager ever, players were great and would be challenging for the league playing exciting attacking football. Then the refs were fucking them every game, the most unlucky side in the league. Then it was every teams keeper is amazing whoever they play. Then it was big nose is wasteful but we are creating loads of chances and with bit more luck would have scored loads of goals. Then it was Pogba has hit the post 700 times, imagine they all went in, would be top of the league. Then Rashford finally scored a goal after 6 months and he was world class again and everyone will fear playing them.

Now its starting to dawn they are no better than with LVG and even more boring to watch.

Brilliant
 
I feel this summer is make or break time for them for the next 5-10 years. Like it or not, they have a solid team capable of getting a point of anybody, albeit at the expense of sucking the life & soul out of football in that unique United way. A couple of them at work are telling me that 6th, the league cup and the Europa League trophy means a successful year for them, maybe it does but they don't like the fact that this will be their least Premier League wins in a season ever since football began in 1991. Best they can hope for is to match Van Gaal's record of last season., and that has cost them millions to tread water and several fortunate decisions.

If they can add one or two quality players to that - look at Mourinho at Chelsea with Hazard and Willian for example and a big striker up top - then they could make draws in to wins and advance up the table. Lukaku, Griezemann (sp) and AN Other would be part of the answer for them if they are planing on splashing the cash again this summer.

They need to be in the Champions League to have a chance at the players they need though, if Ajax beat them then they have a very difficult position of having to throw money at the problem again and won't even get the even of quality they need, again, or jack it in and use this famous yoof system we keep hearing about and accept another period of instability and uncertainty. If they don;t get it, I can see the fans turning on Mourinho, Mourinho turning on his players, the players leading a revolt to get the Family Man installed and under his leadership a run of games that would make Terry Butcher look like Carlo Ancelotti. Hopefully.

My Birthday and Christmas may both be in December, but I'll readily take an early present for next week if Ajax put them down. The damage that would be done to their brand and chances of getting the right player far outweigh any advantage of a season without European football. They could play once a year and Mourinho would still complain about scheduling anyway.
 
what's most annoying is all that cheating and biased decisions amounted to absolutely nothing, but it scuppered and spoilt so many games and other teams seasons, including ours.

I hope Ajax mop the floor with them.
From what little i've seen of them and what i've read recently they are a young open team with not a lot of experienced heads to manage a final against the master of the dark arts,the rags have got it

Ajax, and the Dutch in general, have a sense of arrogance and belief based on past achievements and ability - they will not give a fuck about United or Mourinho, they will expect to win. And if United want to compare CV's, they can do that as well

I don't know who will win but I can imagine it will be another game in which United are terrified to lose and Ajax will camp in the United half

Let's look at who United have drawn/lost against in this tournament:
Feyenoord
Fenabache
Rostov
Andrerlect
Celta Vigo

I'm not sure how they got on against St Ettien, but you get the picture
