Well the rags may have found their 'rush goalie' (one for the foc's) but I can see him being employed way more than they anticipated due to the dodgy defence they have.I completely disagree. Da gea was holding them back massively imo. He was a fairly good shot stopper but he never came for crosses, was stuck on his line meaning United defence had to defend deeper, his distribution was woeful and he was very suspect at saving long shots. There is a reason Spain never picked him.
Onana will allow them to play a lot more effectively from the back and he will play the sweeper role which in turn will mean they defend better. United have finally entered the modern era of goalkeeping
Spot-on. And they seem so defensive about “us not being their rival” even though we have been bitter rivals since 1894. Anyone born and brought up in Manchester knows what it’s like at school and every workplace. The LFC rivalry was manufactured to squeeze more money out of overseas fans. It didn’t really exist before the late 1980s.We are obviously their biggest rivals. The obsessive behavior of the people running their club says it all. We hired Guardiola and they desperately hired Mourinho to one up us, even though he was 100% the wrong choice if they wanted to replace Van Gaal with a possession oriented manager. Then they tried to one up us over Sanchez, which was the definition of pettiness and turned into another disaster. Then Fred, Maguire, the desperation to get Sancho to once again try to show us up. And let's not forget the frenzy when Ronaldo was linked to us, which also turned into a disaster and cratered their season once again.
I don't see them trying to hijack Liverpool's deals or trying to constantly one up them.
Moyes rightly picked up which way the clubs were headed and said something along the lines of "We need to be more like City" after we battered them 4-1 and they absolutely pilloried him.

The part about manufacturing their rivalry with Liverpool is true... look back to 1992 when the Rags won their first PL... Liverpool fans openly mocked them with Banners saying "Come Back When You've Won 18" ...it came back to bite them on the arse of course, but the Liverpool fans didn't see them as "big rivals", the Rags were just jealous that Liverpool had more silverwere ...a Red I worked with years ago said he always hated going to Goodison worse than Anfield! There has always been a Manchester/Liverpool rivalry, but that includes us and Everton as well as those two!Spot-on.

They're going to try and play out from the back now he's gone aren't they.
Hmmm let's have a look at what could very easily happenThis'll be a fucking riot. Next season can't start soon enough and there isn't enough popcorn in the known universe.
The clue is in the fact he watches rugby or the rags as the experience is no doubt similar.Another rag "supporter" crawling out of the woodwork.
When asked what he watches on TV, celebrity chef and restaurateur Michel Roux says: "Rugby - or Manchester United, if they're on".
In othwr words,a typical celeb who knows nothing about football, and has no conneection with the north-west, but thinks that Man Utd are worth watching because ..........I can't actually think why. Does he think it's "cool"?
Stick to cooking, Michel - or, as they say in your country, "Ta gueule, con".........
