I think you're flattering them a bit there??

Yeah, tenuous. It’s early days but they’re getting space in certain areas purely down to the change in set up. Mainly in the wings. I remember being amazed that Silva/KDB could have so much space but it took a while for it to fully click.

If you read the bit in brackets about "top players" it was meant make of what you want out of their top players they've signed. We know that the top players they have signed are ridiculously overpriced and overrated but that's their look out. The main thing is they are still allowed to pay huge fees despite of the ever mounting debt they're in.

Sorry it's my sarcastic personality, coupled with an inherent hatred of the massively over-hyped rags.

Judging by this so far, going to take some getting used to making these players play the way he wants. Having 3 defenders (essentially 5 with the wing backs) should make them more solid and make the transition easier but it’s done the opposite.

Martinez legging it out of position into midfield because Ugarte/Fernandes aren’t doing their jobs. Garnacho and Antony not tracking runners. Fernandes not defensively sound enough to track runners or have the awareness. Mount meandering around.

They’ll attack better than they did under Ten Hag but defensively they’ll be even more open than they were…somehow.

Reminds me of the first season under Pep. We were mint going forward when he first came - different patterns etc. - but the defence was rocky and we were open. He always harped on about ‘second balls’ and I think it takes a few games for foreign managers to recognise that importance.

Hopefully they continue to be shit.

It doesn't matter who they have as manager.
Somethings wrong in that club.
From top to bottom they're fucked.
And apparently we're in trouble.
I know which camp I'd rather be in.
We don't care if we're shit again.
We're just glad we've been brilliant.
They think they have a right to be at the top forever.
That's why it makes me laugh when armchair rags try to take the piss.
I just laugh.
I literally don't care.
I've lived beyond anything I ever thought possible

What ever happens they won't be allowed to go under.
Like barca in Spain.
The league needs the cartel in each country.
The chairman of the fa.
I forget his name said the premier league needs a successful Manchester yyyyyooounited.
When Roy Hodgson was engerland manager he actually said "if you young English and play for yooouuunited you have a great future for england".
Why do you.
Cleverly.
Welbeck.
Phil neville.
Alan smith captain at Leeds never played for England.
Went to the rags.
In the England team.
Leaves to go to Newcastle.
No England games

Yes maybe 10 years ago

But United are not winning titles or Champions League plus the best players don't play for them anymore
The cartel always will be trying to protect themselves, but they still have to be the best club in their leagues

The Premier League is not a 2 horse race anymore with United and Liverpool,
other clubs have taken over and leading the battles with bigger revenues and owners becoming a major power
City Chelsea Arsenal and Newcastle will control England over the next 10 years, Yes Liverpool is flying at the moment but if City and Arsenal get their houses back in shape you never know what can happen

United Bring nothing to the table anymore and should not be a major power in what happens in the rules.
For me, the only thing Keeping United at the top table is Skysports and its subscription fees, i don't see a future for that with the Internet companies ready to take over and blow Sky out of the water,
