7 points in 7 games, 13th position, 2 points above the relegation zone. With no striker, no left back, a failed Championship manager in charge, are we now in a relegation battle?

Rinse and repeat Red Man. Stick a few plasters on every year and promise things are gonna get better and then when s*** hits the fan start over again. Carrick should never have got the permanent job but it's not his fault entirely. The people above him are as much out of their depth as he is. Until we are under good hands things will never change.

No, we are not.
No doubt a disappointment to you, as I can see little that would make you happier.

Agree with IWOTB, not in a RB yet, and unlikely to be this season at all as not enough quality in the league to force is down to that level.
At the very least you have Hull, Coventry, Ipswich, palace and Fulham. Hey throw in spurs and we should be fine!

Amad gets the ball, work some space inside. 6 or so players waiting on the box for a cross and he shoots wide. That is who we are. A tragic collection of misfit individualistic who don't work well as a team.

100% we are, i'm not even sure what United can actually do? Its so rotten maybe its doomed to relegation and its exactly what the glazers and rat deserve.
18 Oct 2026 17:05:37
Spurs will finish above us.
Amad was poor today one foot wonder.
No striker
It's going to be a long season and a fight to get top 6
Comes to something when we are happy to come away with a draw.

I'm not sure how u can say that we aren't. 7 points from 7 games. Guff in most of those and struggled against all the teams around us. If u go by name alone then we aren't but this isn't the Manchester United of old so we definitely are. Wonder how long before the board admit that carrick was a mistake, one of many by them?! Next international break? , after Christmas? Or drag it out until near the end of the season and change like spurs did if we r in danger of the drop?! Results and performances are not better than under RA but then again he only got the boot for calling Wilcox out, something carrick will never do.
Really would like to think we will turn it around, I'm just not so sure we will.

Not in a million years. I see this brought up every other year. Pure hyperbole.
It won't happen.
If it ever does, I'll buy everyone on here a pint.

No, just like every other season when people start this nonsense, we are not in a relegation battle after 7 games. We've been unlucky in a few games not to get a result and have had a bad start and there are still 7 teams below us.
We will finish top half, whether we push for top 4/6 who knows, but need to start putting chances away.
18 Oct 2026 22:02:57
Ah we are definitely too good to go down.
Usually one club gets caught up at the bottom, last season it was Spurs. We have a Championship level Manager but yep too good to go down.

Red man,
I'd be willing to bet any money in the world that we don't go down mate, we get this every year. If you've watched the games so far and think we will go down then I don't know what to say. Results haven't been good enough, but they will come.
19 Oct 2026 06:10:53
GDS
Do I think we will go down? No. I think even the idiots in charge will change the manager and buy in January. However, we are right now looking over our shoulders only 2 points above the drop zone and in a mess. If nothing changes and looking at the games coming up with no strikers we could get caught up in it at least for a while.
19 Oct 2026 08:17:21
We won't go down that's for sure, not sure what 7 games GDS watched and especially the last two that we got better. LOL Mr Manchester Andy needs an assistant he sees lots of things that just ain't there too .
