Tbf, if they had any kind of sense they would've been all in for Pep after Whiskey nose left. Thank fuck their God "Sir" Alex Ferguson decided that David Moyes was the next Rags manager and thinking just signing Felleni would be OK. They were delusional then and are even more so now. It's fkn lovely.

Ferguson went for Moyes because he knew his legacy as The King of Stretford would be safe,Pep would have made him
look like the gobshite he is.

This is what will continue to hold them back. Let it continue. Their continued pursuit of special players, rather than a well functioning team. “This is Manchester United” we’re talking about.

Nail on the head, as long as they persist in that daft narrative that they are somehow "special" the longer their decline goes on, it's been the downfall of empires never mind football clubs

Probably shouldn’t admit this now lol but I stood up & applaudEd berbatov against spurs he was magnificent that cup game . but as we know it was a regular occurrence to appreciate great football & sportsmanship years ago at city

Yes he was different class that game.
I remember him killing dead on his instep a ball from about 70 ft out of the air from the boot of their keeper. The ball just seemed to stick with him that game

I wonder how long it took for the press to stop saying: "This is Preston North End we are talking about" after their Invincibles season in 1888/1889. I give United another decade of mediocrity before they fade from the memories of even the most deluded pundits.

Rumours are it started when Casemiro stole Luke Shaw’s last sausage roll.

Pretty sure Shaw eats his sausage rolls in twos one in each hand, so either Casemiro nicked his last 2 or the fucker bit Shaw's finger trying to take a bite of one of them.

Heard schmeichel on the radio last week waffling on about the aura of the club and that it takes a special kind of player to represent them , they really are deluded.

They've definitely got some special players

Didn't the rags try to get Pep, but he turned them down?

Apparently a bust up in the changing room

And I bet, at some point, Fernandes was lying on the floor clutching his ankle, whilst giving surreptitious glances around the dressing room.

Ten Hag - "It proves they care"

Neville - "Avram Glazer threw the first punch"
