He's here to reduce the club to a minimum, use his contacts to get planning permission for whatever they do with the stadium then they'll sell it to the highest bidder and he'll be off to his next project. Brilliantly this is probably the right thing to do for them.

How's Knobbie Mainoo doing these days ? The clamour for him to be appointed England captain appears to have died down a bit recently.

Unfortunately, don't think the media drooling over him has ended yet ?
Didn't the crowd at their last match boo louder over his being substituted, than at the final whistle ?
This would fit in with the current media view (as instructed by MUFC) that Ten Bob does not have a clue. So, he is unfortunately on his way out.
Mainoo, however, will go to the Euros, as Southgate would not dare leave him out ?
The lad does seem to have "time & space" and is calm.
Whether he can kick-on, remains to be seen ?

Interesting way to motivate your squad when there's a cup final in a few weeks

Bit like Albert Alexander allegedly saying to our team just before the 1956 Cup Final "Now lads, make sure you win this game so we can get some money to buy better players".

But it's all an act, he really does not give a flying FCUK for United, he does not support them, it's pretty well known even the persona of Mark Goldbridge is an act, it's not his name his name is Bret something or other you've fallen for it hook line and sinker, it's just pantomime for the hard of thinking

He has also been caught a few times using burner accounts to counterpoint his own tweets.

What can the rags offer new players apart from big wages ?

CL= No
Modern Statium = No
Modern Training facilities = No
Fighting for trophies = Not really
Squad hungry for success = No

Ah, but, a rather innovative water feature in one of their stands.
No other top club* can offer that.




* stop laughing the BBC and Sly says they are.

The kid is fairly error prone sometimes, a number of turnovers in their own half came from his naive passing. TBF, he is very young.

Unfortunately, starting every game at this age, he's gonna burn out before he even hits 23 years old, much like Rashford was. They never learn.

Going to Watford on loan next season to be mentored by the legend ZeCleverley.

It is weird how they've conceded one of the highest number of shots on goal in the league when they have this colossus of a defensive midfielder in place.

Yet the media had it in there heads that they where suddenly back because they qualified for the CL and wonba trophy when us in the real world could see the real picture.

A club that has sat in a false posistion for two years on the back of bent decisions honestly they shouldnt be anywhere near the top 10.
