If that first min brighton shot had gone in,it would have been the best moment ever in football,bar none..esp as the commentator Tyler was still saying something like

" The start of a new era !!!"

Indeed.
So true. But only the 2nd best.
 

MARTIN SAMUEL: Man United thought that success was ALL in the name. It's the Ed Woodward effect… but they're not getting the best players anymore and big names they attract are not in their prime​


Manchester City got Erling Haaland and Liverpool got Darwin Nunez.

Manchester United, having lost at home to Brighton for the first time in their history, are now having a second swing at recruiting 33-year-old Marko Arnautovic. He could partner Cristiano Ronaldo in a front two with a combined age of 70.

Still, there's plenty of room for optimism at Manchester United. That's the problem. Call it the Ed Woodward effect. Nobody sees the worst happening.



They think being Manchester United is all it needs. That they will always be the market leaders because all they know is the market. Yet, increasingly, even their trusted commercial partners see through this.

I know very little about Martin Samuel, whether he is good or bad, biased or unbiased, and I don't really care.
What I do know is this is the first article I have ever read just fucking slapping them in the head. It's what I have heard us say on here for as long as I have been on here.

I just hope that it doesn't serve as a "wake up" call to the circus that exists in Trafford.
