Latest rumour I've seen is we want Weghorst and Felix, which makes more sense to me. Options, and more creativity.
1.) 08 Jan 2023 18:26:33
That would do for now. Though not sure how felix would fit in our new wage structure?!
2.) 08 Jan 2023 22:07:35
how many players are a club allowed to loan in the PL?
3.) 09 Jan 2023 07:18:06
I wouldn't want Weghorst, but you have to trust the manager if he has identified him.
Joan Felix I think could be a fantastic signing. He doesn't fit the type of football being played at Atletico but he has all the minerals.
4.) 09 Jan 2023 07:46:44
I'd take both in a heartbeat. I'd take one in a heartbeat actually.
Neither are the ideal candidate but we need bodies up front.
Garnacho is a bonus and has stood in well for sancho but he is just a kid and the Ronaldo gap needs filling too.
5.) 09 Jan 2023 20:48:33
You are only allowed 2 loan signings and we already have butland, so it was never going to be both.
We probably moved onto weghorst when Felix was no longer an option.
6.) 10 Jan 2023 19:51:59
Wouldn’t touch Felix with a barge pole. His style and physical make up won’t suit the Prem one bit.
22 Jul 2022 10:00:09
Jesse Lingard.
Could have gone to West Ham and been at the upper end of the table fighting for Europe.
Decided to go to Forest for what will likely be a relgation dog fight. Hmm, I wonder why.
1.) 22 Jul 2022 10:13:20
I'd imagine it's so he doesn't have to move his family to London.
2.) 22 Jul 2022 10:18:30
A one year contract too. His agent was talking about PSG, Milan and Juventus interested in him a couple of months ago. Maybe the teams that actually did want him didn't match his ego.
I'm sure he thinks why not get paid handsomely for a year, finish top scorer and then join Madrid next year.
3.) 22 Jul 2022 10:25:00
Surprised he’s not gone on that Love Island!
4.) 22 Jul 2022 10:32:08
And only on a one season deal in case it's straight back down to the Championship. That over the MLS or trying to nudge his way back into the England set-up with West Ham as he was starting to do when on loan there.
5.) 22 Jul 2022 10:35:58
1 year contract on £200K a week plus signing n fee. He'll be able to do the same next year. Seems like the lad has done a pretty decent deal for himself.
6.) 22 Jul 2022 11:13:33
It's all about the money money money.
At least he will get game time. So many players move for money and see their careers die, Sinclair, Drinkwater spring to mind as examples.
7.) 22 Jul 2022 12:31:04
So much on Lingard all the time. Good luck to him if he's getting more money.
So what?
8.) 22 Jul 2022 13:32:13
He's not united so I don't care.
9.) 22 Jul 2022 15:47:46
Shappy is right, he isn’t allowed out of the house without his babysitter. Last time he gave them the slip he spent all his pocket money on chocolate and fizzy sweets. Best to keep him away from that London or he’ll be onto those American Candy stores and spend his £200k weekly wage on milk duds.
10.) 22 Jul 2022 16:28:28
Danny, I think you'll find that he has had to assume the care of his two school aged children while his mum was unable to care for them. On top of having a daughter of his own who lives with her mother after they split up.
Living in Nottingham means he is still close to his family.
While a big wage packet certainly won't do him any harm.
I'd imagine he will see it as an opportunity to stay close to his family earn a big wage and potentially put himself in the shop window for a club like Everton, Leicester or Newcastle.
11.) 22 Jul 2022 17:24:31
Shappy, trains to Nottingham from Manchester take 2 hours, the same time it takes to drive. 2 hours also for Leicester, 3 hours for Newcastle.
Trains to London take 2 hours, and are far more regular. Nottingham is not close to his family, but its a lot more lucrative.
same as driving,
12.) 22 Jul 2022 17:26:17
That should be school aged siblings.
13.) 22 Jul 2022 18:23:06
Poor babysitter has their work cut out. Get two kids to school and then back to cut the crusts off Jessie’s sandwich and get him down for a quick nap before training.
14.) 22 Jul 2022 19:52:32
This is some mad post about why an ex United player has signed for a football team ?
Has anybody here spoke with him? How would any of ye know and who cares why or why he didn't sign for a club.
Got get that money Jesse, enjoy yourself and keep being you.
15.) 22 Jul 2022 21:04:28
Couldn’t give a damn about what Jesse Lingard is doing. When he was coming through I liked the lad, but the past 2 seasons at least I’ve thought he was a git.
Forget him.
16.) 22 Jul 2022 21:08:05
Indeed. It’s his business and his alone. He’ll play every week, it’s a great traditional club, and he’ll be handsomely paid.
As for logistics, I’m sure he’ll work it out by himself ???.
17.) 22 Jul 2022 18:59:50
Despite all this, Lingard’s going straight into my FPL Team!
18.) 23 Jul 2022 13:57:49
Shappy is so busy now googling travel times to uphold the most ridiculous argument of the day?? nice one ajh. Lots to be said b
For knowing your geography??.
14 Nov 2021 08:56:04
I was told last night that Ole has agreed to step aside once a replacement has been found.
Don't know where this rumour came from but hopefully it has legs.
1.) 14 Nov 2021 09:22:12
It does seem like the club have used the international break and particularly Ole and the players not being there to assess their options and hopefully through intermediaries reach out to potential candidates to test the waters.
2.) 14 Nov 2021 10:11:33
I think there’s zero chance of Ole agreeing to step aside. If the club replace him, he’ll be getting compensated handsomely.
3.) 14 Nov 2021 11:56:13
If this is true, at least the club aren't rushing around and are taking their time to make a decision.
4.) 14 Nov 2021 16:05:17
I don’t doubt it Danny, but if it is true, at least Woody can crack on without having to be too secretive.
5.) 14 Nov 2021 18:29:34
Maybe he doesn't know he agreed to step aside, just sayin.
6.) 15 Nov 2021 11:22:14
Any truth to the Zidane rumours?
7.) 17 Nov 2021 08:11:26
TOHoM, only that it is true that they are rumours ?.
03 Aug 2019 14:20:49
I’ve loved reading the posts this week and for what it’s worth, here’s my view.
Maguire is not necessarily the greatest defender but he seems like a big character and as has been said he is better than what we have. The price is irrelevant to me, fees are soon forgotten (unlike wages) . I think he will settle quickly and make a difference.
AWB looks a quality buy in a position where we have struggled so I’m confident that will look a steal as the season progresses.
James has huge potential, looking forward to seeing how he develops.
Dybala I don’t want. No idea where it came from and we really shouldn’t be entertaining it. Fancy name, not pulled up any trees for a couple of years, really don’t see where he fits in.
Fernandes look quality and would be a good signing and if we are interested then I have no idea why it is taking so long.
We need to ship Pogba out as quickly as possible, assuming anyone has made any sort of sensible offer. I don’t buy the line that he’s really popular. If he isn’t committed to the cause then he needs to leave.
Sanchez also needs to go. I’d even let him go on a free or nominal fee as it would free up at least £15M because of his ridiculous contract.
Lukaku also needs to go and again I’d take the best offer that is on the table. We may lose on the fees but the benefit to team spirit and morale of shipping out players who don’t want to be her is immense. There’s a bunch of other players we need to move on and again we should make it attractive to potential buyers. Darmian and Rojo for starters.
Imagine those 5 gone, 4 new signings (I’m assuming a CM is coming), and a few from the youth promoted. The feel and mood will be lifted and with the extra fitness and energy, with everyone committed and pulling in the same direction, who knows where we will get to.
I fear there is not enough time left to move players on but for me that is just as important on bringing new ones in.
1.) 03 Aug 2019 14:37:38
It would be foolish to let pogba leave so late in the window, no chance we have enough time to obtain a replacement.
Saul would fit the bill, but that would be a complicated deal and there are questions marks over whether he would even want to come.
Are SMS or fernandes as good as pogba? if looked at objectively you would say they were not on his level.
Dybala is probably the clearest route to getting rid of lukaku as inter milan are unable to source the funds to do a deal, so this swap deal is a pretty good compromise to get rid of a player who doesn't fit oles style and bring in a player who does.
25, 5 year contract means we have plenty of scope to get a resale value when he inevitably pines for a move to madrid or Barcelona like pogba. Could be a shrewd bit of business by the club.
2.) 03 Aug 2019 14:49:29
DSG, if you put my reservations aside, Ed002 has said Dybala doesn’t want to come. If he’s having to be convinced then we shouldn’t do it,
3.) 03 Aug 2019 15:15:18
Tony do you honestly expect Dybala to happily want to leave a team with Ronaldo and several stars which is guaranteed at least a major trophy and also UCL football every season and come over to us because we are Manchester United?
That ship has sailed!
No matter how attractive a team is, it still has to make an effort to appeal to a prospective player.
4.) 03 Aug 2019 15:18:42
I honestly think you will be surprised how many player would not want to join us this summer. No champions league is a big loss especially in a window where bayern, real, Barcelona and juve are all making big deals.
Look at sancho, he realised that coming to united this window would be not be ideal for his development when we are undergoing significant changes and his development was much better suited staying at dortmund.
Does that mean we shouldn't go in for him next summer when we will still need to convince him we are the right club with the right stability for him to continue his development?
Dybala is an oppurtune signing granted but if he does join it won't be against his will, quite a few player over the year have needed to be convinced/ persuaded to join clubs.
5.) 03 Aug 2019 15:23:18
I really don't get why people would wants Pogba to stay. Old may say all the right things about Pogba having a great attitude blah blah blah, but the player clearly wants out.
If we keep hold of him against his wishes we will just have the same circus every transfer window. It's unsettling for everyone, including Old, despite what he may say in public.
Pogba is obviously talented and is a match winner on his day. I understand that, but keeping an unhappy player is counter productive.
On the flip side, we shouldn't be forced to sell him on the cheap. But over inflating his price so that he is effectively priced out of a more is daft in my opinion.
Despite the fact that some fans 'hero worship' some players, Pogba is not worthy of that label. Talent is nothing without application, effort and desire and Mr Pogba is severely lacking in the later.
6.) 03 Aug 2019 15:35:43
Until last week his name hadn’t come up, nobody on here had suggested we try and buy him or he would add anything to our team. Now suddenly many are drooling over him and I don’t get it. We should have learned from Di Maria. He doesn’t want to come, allegedly he wants £350K a week, allegedly his agent wants £13M, it’s possibly taken our focus from Fernandes. The only positive I can see is we lose Lukaku, that’s about it.
I don’t really buy the Champions League argument. Actually I do buy it and it hacks me off. There’s only a few teams that will win it, and there seems to be a snobbishness that has materialised with players ‘not wanting to take a step down’. I’m not sure how we’ve allowed it to become so important, for me the domestic title is still the biggest trophy by far.
7.) 03 Aug 2019 15:37:47
Of course he needs convincing AJH. He is not a fan like is. He is at a top club where his life family and friends are and you think a good pitch and lots of reassurances are not required.
You don't seem to be the sort of chap to make knee jerk life changing decisions without due consultation and thought process and advice. Do you think dybala should?
8.) 03 Aug 2019 15:56:18
Is aguero not a good example why is it always di Maria.
Do people think aguero was a life long city fan desperate to move to a team that had won nothing for years?
Or did him and his agent need a bit of convincing and a bucket of cash .
I'm not saying we should or shouldn't sign him but there's a bit of a line in the sand starting with one or 2 players,
9.) 03 Aug 2019 16:02:27
Of course he's reluctant. We're not exactly known for stability are we. He enjoys life in Italy and is reluctant to leave. But Juve are forcing him out.
10.) 03 Aug 2019 16:03:54
Madrid have been making sensible offers for Pogba throughout this window.
UTD think they can get more with very little other clubs being able to afford him.
Only a few clubs or so at the over inflated fee and wages able to afford Pogba which sees UTD keeping a player who wants to leave *evil laugh*.
Barcelona not going to sign Pogba.
11.) 03 Aug 2019 16:09:33
What offers have real made?
12.) 03 Aug 2019 16:24:59
Guys AJH has a point. The problem is not there is a convincing required for Dybala. But why to convince a player who is not seen as much needed who is not willing to move to us who will demand monstrous wage who has stalled for the past year. If it is someone who we have identified as main target it's worth going through the trouble. Imagine we sign him and has not really worked out then we will have another player on 350k wages very difficult to move.
13.) 03 Aug 2019 16:35:27
I said the same to shappy last week jred.
People are saying don't sign him he doesn't want to be here. Yet those same purple are saying keep pogba even though he doesn't want to be here.
If dybala comes and he and the team are successful he will love it at United. Just like aguero has done.
Im not desperate for him to sign if he does it would be potentially a very good and exciting signing.
14.) 03 Aug 2019 17:00:59
My wider point is he hadn't been mentioned by anybody, the fans hadn't suggested him nor were the club pursuing him. Suddenly a swap is on, not exactly thought through is it?
15.) 03 Aug 2019 17:02:49
You could say the same with pogba, if go his and uniteds way he may have a change in heart .
Not sure why everything needs to be set in stone .
I'm far from convince dybala would be a good fit in the epl, who who knows.
16.) 03 Aug 2019 17:11:34
Is it possible for a player to come in, not really wanting to come in at first and then change his mind? If he is the consummate professional, he might also put in some decent performances.
Also, he could just say no right now?
17.) 03 Aug 2019 18:00:01
Ajh
He was mentioned a few month ago, don't know if the reports where true but he was linked a few months back.
But some times a player becomes available and you take a chance, any Cole, king Eric.
Angel
Is it possible that a player wants to leave then circumstances change and he changes his mind, Or do we hold it against him for the rest of his career.
18.) 03 Aug 2019 18:01:09
The club have had interest in dybala for 12 months according to ed002. i'm not convinced but he is a very talented player so if he settles it could work out.
Pogba is here and if he stays and does well he may well have a change of heart i agree but i'm not one for keeping unhappy players it usually doesn't work out. We can on my hope it does if he stays.
19.) 03 Aug 2019 19:33:15
Hi jred, not at all. I think if a player has a change of heart and wants to stay, put in the performances etc, he should most definitely get the chance. I think that's quite fair. But definitely no point keeping a player that is unhappy and wants to move. Does this answer work?
Is there a particular player you are talking about or just anyone in general?
20.) 03 Aug 2019 20:00:04
Angel
To many to mention to be honest once any one makes a mistake or reportedly does you want them out.
Lazy bad attitude said this said that.
21.) 03 Aug 2019 20:17:14
No, I'd like you to mention them. Very happy to give you my reasons behind everyone.
I'm quite sure that when I have shown my dissatisfaction in a player it is usually merited, justified.
I don't call for players to be bought and sold like in a game of FIFA.
I also am very happy to back good, hard working and loyal players when many dont. Again, when I feel its justified.
Feels like you're just having a pop though. It's something you like to do quite often. I hope I haven't upset you at any point. Or will you hold my opinions against me for the rest of my time posting on here? 😊.
22.) 03 Aug 2019 22:15:30
We have appointed Director of football - it's AJH
All sound decisions taken. 🤫.
23.) 04 Aug 2019 09:23:15
Reading the page the last day or two it’s clear we don’t need any insight from Ed002 as maxlfc knows absolutely everything about our club lol.
24.) 04 Aug 2019 20:42:32
Oh man :P
Wrote a post about how the youngsters are doing, and how you feel about them and this turned into Pogba/ Dybala debate.
25.) 05 Aug 2019 07:31:02
To be honest guys I don't care and the reason is we are focusing on players not playing for our club.
When the focus should be #GlazersOut.
24 Mar 2018 10:31:23
There are some that said Jesse wasn’t good enough and I guess there are still some that think he is at best a squad player but you have to give the lad credit. He keeps popping up scoring important goals and he plays with a smile on his face and seems to enjoy every moment. I’m so pleased for him and I hope he can take that final step and be consistent.
1.) 24 Mar 2018 16:25:04
He has always been highly thought off within the club. It was always accepted that he would take longer to find his feet due to his size. I read an interview with him where he said that Sir Alex always said he would become a real player when he's 25 like Tigana. I wonder how much of him really stepping up this season is down to him feeling that this year was going to be his year.
I did worry when we signed Sanchez as it was going to push either Lingard or Martial out of the side when arguably they we our best two forwards at that time. Maybe its time for Sanchez to be dropped for a game or two and make him fight for his place against players who are in form.
2.) 24 Mar 2018 16:40:40
Shaps, I don’t know why we bought Sanchez other than to stop City buying him. We had needs inother areas way before a left sided attacker was needed and even if he starts firing it just relegates Martial or Rashford. This smacks of Woodward and his marque signing obsession. I don’t want to upset you but if Bale is available you can bet your mortgage Ed will be there waving his chequebook.
3.) 24 Mar 2018 16:46:51
The thing with Jesse is you know he will work on the pitch and not hide. He has proven this year that he has more in the locker than people thought imo but he had the beginnings of a good season couple of years back when he got ani injury early on at Swansea I think. Change of personel and management has not deterred him and I think he has saved us a good few bob on bringing in a n other player.
4.) 24 Mar 2018 16:58:44
I was one of those thinking he wasn't going to be up to it and would be sold, at times I feel foolish, but then he can be anonymous far too often for me (like most of our attacking players) .
I still think in order for us to be competing at the very top we need better than Lingard. But if he improves again as much as he has over the past 18 months then he will deserve a regular berth in a top Utd team.
I love his energy and clever runs, maybe there is even more to come from him once we get back to playing proper attacking football and those runs will be picked out by players that currently refuse the pass and opt for 'safety' instead. I certainly would like him to impact games more consistently as well, 10 seconds of brilliance now and again is good, but we need more than that over a 90 minute match from an attacking midfielder.
5.) 24 Mar 2018 17:39:38
I agree Beastand that was my point about consistency. When he is good he is very good but often you can forget he is on the pitch, which is very frustrating when he gets himself in such good positions and scores such important goals. He needs to turn up for more games than he does, which I think he will if he continues to develop as he has done in the last year. And he is home grown which means a lot to me,
6.) 24 Mar 2018 17:52:11
Does he go missing or as mentioned above is it a case of him making good runs and his team mates not playing the creative pass to find him?
The best players score in the big games, which he does more consistently than those around him. H deserves his place in the team, he works hard, he offers movement and he can finish. I think he will thrive if we add more quality to the midfield. He is a bit of a social media whore, but as long as he performs on the pitch it’s not a problem. I wish pogba put half the effort in he does.
7.) 24 Mar 2018 18:33:58
Agree with all of the posts regarding jesse in some degree, better than dele alli in my opinion who plays a similar role especially this season.
8.) 25 Mar 2018 05:21:49
I must be the only one who doesn't yet rate him. He for me is going through his Smalling patch where player looks good for a season or 2 but with lingard it has only been 2 months rather than the whole season.
He was mostly anonymous until December and has been anonymous for most part since February. That is 2 good months in 3-4 years. Yes he scores some important goals from time to time but he going to have to perform much better to be more than a squad player.
9.) 25 Mar 2018 16:58:04
No MU player apart from De Gea has been sensational for long, playing good for some time and then playing poorly.
10.) 26 Mar 2018 14:14:47
CSM, that's not really fair, even if he's only started looking like a real top player this season, he's actually been doing well for the last couple of years. He was hardly "anonymous" before December anyway. 8 goals and assists in 17 games, 11 of which he played 30 minutes or less in, may not be setting the league on fire, but it's certainly not "anonymous".
Re: the consistency, I'm inclined to agree with Huggy. He's suffering from the way the team is playing, and would have a much more consistent impact if the runs he makes were picked out a bit more often by players behind him. Now, I'm not saying he's doing everything right, maybe he'd still be a bit inconsistent with players behind him looking for those runs and playing more positive football, but the point is that we don't really know, and I don't think it's fair to judge him too harshly when we don't really know how much of the inconsistency is down to him, and how much is down to the way the teamas a whole is playing.
I would really love to see Herrera used in a more advanced role, ahead of Matic rather than alongside him, where he can look to play the passes that someone like Lingard can feed on. It's too easy to see his great defensive performances last season and forget that he's a great passer of the ball, with an eye for getting team mates in behind the defence.
11.) 26 Mar 2018 14:23:10
That FA cup winning goal seemed to really kick him on and he’s improved a lot since then.
CSM,
How you can say he’s been anonymous is beyond me, he’s probably scored more important goals than any other player in the last 2 years.
12.) 26 Mar 2018 14:53:27
Gds important goals don't mean consistency. Yes he scored against Chelsea and in fa cup final but can you remember a run of games until December where you could say he was consistently good. A first team player needs to be consistently good and unlike rashford or martial lingard isn't exactly in the youngster category.
Thorne he has been good this season but last season he had 5 goals and 3 assists in 42 games in lvg's last season he had 7 goals and 4 assists in 41 games. Those are not good figures and he needs get similar to his current nos before we can be sure that he has improved rather than going through a purple patch.
Also where exactly will he play next season jose wants savic added to the team and jorginho as replacement for carrick, so we most likely will be switching to a mf 3.

Good player, nice lad, silly dancer.

For someone who was notoriously shy, Scholes can't seem to keep his mouth shut nowadays, he's becoming rent a quote. As with everyone, he's entitled to say what he thinks but often what he thinks is pretty dumb. For such a cultured player, he's like a blunt instrument with his views. I do wish he'd zip. it.
.
1.) 11 Feb 2025 16:48:41
Said it years ago, shocking pundit. And boring. He offers little to no expertise on anything. Really really poor pundit.
2.) 11 Feb 2025 17:12:27
Loved Scholesy as a player, but I literally mute the telly whenever he's on because I'd sooner s*** in my hands and clap than listen to such boring verbal tripe.
3.) 11 Feb 2025 20:07:24
Since she has being good at football equated to a personality or intelligence?
4.) 11 Feb 2025 22:06:39
Scholesy's intelligence was always in his feet.
Which was fine when he was a footballer as he could let his feet do the talking.
As a pundit he's the new version of Souness unfortunately. Grumpy git, not much personality, and seems to keep getting opportunities in punditry due to the hyperbolic comments he makes rather than any astute ones.
5.) 11 Feb 2025 22:56:47
Should stick to sucking toes. Living off his playing days, couldn’t do anything as a manager now comes out with tripe. Thanks for the memories but please shut up scholes.
6.) 12 Feb 2025 04:55:15
Nothing new there. He has a very poor opinion of many players and pretty blunt about it. Winning and playing better will quite the pundits. its him or someone else that's the case with United.
7.) 12 Feb 2025 13:43:45
He is a a really nice guy. Family man and a very loyal and very good human.
Not the most articulate it has to be said but he has opinions just like everybody else. A load more crap written on here than he comes out with. He is being paid for his opinions so I don't get why they annoy people. I'd rather listen to his opinions than read some of the nonsense we come up with on here and they make a lot more sense.
8.) 13 Feb 2025 06:38:29
I'm sure he is a lovely guy ken. But being on the TV, pushed into your face when games are on and coming out with such ill informed drivel is funny though.
I mean likening the opinions of a paid pundit against a fan forum. Big gap there.

We should send him to Swansea on loan for some experience at his own level.
2.) 07 Feb 2025 12:16:28
What a ridiculous point. Neither Gyokres or lewa had been signed for 60 mil. Hojlund probably will come good over time but united signed him as a starter when he clearly needs time to develop into a premier league player. Genuinely a loan to a championship club would probably do him good as it did with Gyok.
3.) 07 Feb 2025 13:26:03
doesnt seem to hve a strikers instincts and let's be honest how many defences does he actually trouble? Wont make it at UTD.
4.) 07 Feb 2025 13:58:00
There are plenty of players that flourish early and fade out and plenty that take a while to get going and go on to have brilliant careers.
As with most decisions we have made in recent transfer windows, we went left when we needed to go right. Hojlund needed us to have an experienced mid/ late 20's striker who would be first choice to allow him to develop, learn and get games from the bench and play in cups etc.
He is having to learn on the job, without the safety of a settled club and someone to learn from.
Will ge come good, who knows. Will he be given the time to do that with us, will depend how he progresses the rest of the season.
5.) 07 Feb 2025 14:29:35
What has the fee got to do with it? The others learnt their trade, he's been thrust into a major club in a major league, not his fault. But hey, you've already made your mind up.
6.) 07 Feb 2025 15:31:47
Cost don’t matter, but you can see that Rasmus will never be fit to lace Ledenwoskis boots. It’s ridiculous comparison, unfortunately Rasmus just don’t posses the abilities to be a top striker now, next year, 5 years, 10 years, he just shows zero in any department.
7.) 07 Feb 2025 15:59:13
Still maintain the initial plan was to get Kane and an understudy. We lost out on Kane and it was felt Rasmus could be the understudy to Martial instead. Then Martial was never fit then let go, leaving us with just the kid. It's not his fault. But, he's not shown me even a glimpse to suggest he's going to become anything worthy of leading the line for United.
8.) 07 Feb 2025 16:26:23
Exactly spenno, you can usually see glimpses of something but with Rasmus there is nothing, he supposed to be lightning quick, never see it, he 6’3 never uses it, his weak, his hold up not existent, can’t beat a man, wrestles a lot and goes on the floor even more… just nothing there to even cling too.
9.) 07 Feb 2025 17:49:10
Rasmus is young and developing, he isn't the finished article.
Ideally he'd be playing at a club where the spotlight isn't as bright while he develops. Unfortunately he's at the club with possibly the biggest spotlight and is having to carry the scoring burden pretty much by himself.
Will he be good enough? Who knows, when you buy potential there is always the risk of that player never realising that potential.
He is quick, and clinical in front of goal. Let's not completely forget that he had one of the highest chances conversation rates in Europe last season.
What let's him down is that he doesn't get enough chances. Last season that was definitely due to a lack of opportunities created for him by his teammates. There were dozens of times where he was in a great position for a simple pass to score a near certain goal but other players looked to shoot from worse positions instead. There was also about 4 or 5 occasions where he was about to score only for McTominay to charge in just in front of him and practically take the ball off his forehead.
However, this season there is definitely an element of him not getting into the right places to score. While also in fairness we still aren't creating a huge number of chances.
Now I don't know if the new system means he doesn't know when or where he needs to make his movements. He seems far more concerned with getting involved in physical battles with CB's which he rarely wins. I'm not sure if he's been told to develop that part of his game and he's just trying to do it too much. Like many young players he seems to lack variation to his game.
It's all part of the development process. People forget he had half a season as a regular for Atalanta be fore he moved to us. He was out for practical half his first season with us due to injuries. Meaning that really he's had one and a half seasons of regular football in one of Europe's top 5 leagues. He is going to be rough around the edges, and nowhere near the finished article.
He needs someone to take the pressure off of him and allow him the time and space to develop alongside them. He also looks like he's carrying the weight of the world on him right now. He has the ability to become a top player for us, but that won't be anytime soon and it will depend on how he develops.
10.) 07 Feb 2025 18:48:43
I have to disagree, he is anything but clinical…. You have stuck in the figures from few europa games, in epl, he is shocking finisher and anything but clinical…. He is nowhere near the required standard plus you talk about him like he is 17 he is what 22 or 23
Good thing is being reported today that he is going back to Italia to score no goals!
Clear RA don’t think much of him either, that was clarified with Mainoo in front of him!, so that’s all that counts, try dress his stats up how you like or his age, the reality is he is poor, with service or not.
11.) 07 Feb 2025 19:37:37
German, he turned 22 three days ago. Besides age is just a number, you need to look at the experience they have. Some 20 year olds have over 100 games under their belt, while some 22 year olds have less than 20 games.
Last season Højlund had a conversation rate of around 57% across the whole season, at one point it was over 66%.
Most elite strikers, your Kane's, Lewandowski's, Ronaldo's and Messi's etc rarely have a conversation rate above 35% across a whole season. Most top strikers don't get above 25%. So for Højlund to go a whole season with a rate of 57% I think he's earned the right to be called clinical.
This season he hasn't been at that same level, most likely it's confidence. He looks devoid of it right now, and that might well be why Amorim decided to finally take him out of the side. Because actually Amorim has tended to stick with him even after Zirkzee had a couple of good performances off the bench.
So I think when you say Amorim doesn't rate him, or that he isn't clinical you are seeing only what you want to see.
Also I'm not sure why his goal record in the Europa league shouldn't count when considering his ability to be clinical. The goals are the same size after all. The only difference is that he tends to actually get a few more chances in that competition compared to the EPL.
In the EL he has had 12 shots in 416 minutes of football, a shot every 34 minutes. He has 5 goals I that competition.
In the EPL he has had 15 shots in 1115 minutes of football, a shot every 74 minutes. He has 2 goals in the EPL.
He isn't getting the number of shots needed to score regularly in the EPL. The fact he has almost as many shots in the EL in 8 appearances as he has in 19 appearances in the EPL highlights the issue.
Salah for example has had 90 shots in 23 appearances in the EPL, or a shot every 22 minutes.
Strikers need goals for confidence, you don't score goals unless you are taking shots.
I'm not sure how you've come to the conclusion that a player who isn't even managing a shot per game (0.7) isn't clinical.
For me the issue this season with him is that he seems to be trying to be a physical hold up striker, but he hasn't developed the skills to do that. As such he's not getting into the right area's enough to get the number of shots he needs.
12.) 07 Feb 2025 20:17:05
German, you are fighting a losing battle there :D.
13.) 07 Feb 2025 20:38:12
Kane or Lewendowski examples is ludicrous look at the calibre of opposition, to what your comparing Rasmus too, the only reason he scored in those europa games is because the quality of opposition you can dress stats to however you want them to look and yours are a joke, like comparing apples with oranges… and being very childish with it too.
I have come to the conclusion with my own mince pies thanks and trying to play games with stats won’t wash, he is 22 and can’t hit a barn door, so according to you Kane and Lewendowski are even worse at missing the barn door, you clearly been on the sauce, so much so it’s laughable.
14.) 07 Feb 2025 20:41:03
LOL Shappy those stats are totally laughable, he not earns any right to be called clinical, just look at the opposition of what your comparing him with, you must have been chuckling in your beer when you typed this out. that’s right up there with Sancho will come good and Shaw is world class….
Dress stats how you like even you know that is laughable…Clinical my A***.
15.) 07 Feb 2025 21:05:37
Spenno, why does he always think he is always right and that his opinion is correct and try back it up with crazy stats…. Now I see why people just ignore the ramblings and essays written like they are factual, your probably right treat them with what they deserve……. Kane Messi Ronny and Lew got long way to go to be compared with our dear Rasmus! But hold on I wonder what there stats would be if they were playing bottom tier teams in the Europa league! Just wondering…. Maybe he got the stats of what that might be somewhere!
16.) 07 Feb 2025 23:50:33
All that aside, his touch is crap. Like a dodgy Lukaku.
17.) 08 Feb 2025 14:50:37
German, I don't think you understand what clinical means to be honest. It's about how efficient he is when he gets a chance. Shots per goal is how you rank a players shooting efficiency.
Hojlund across the EPL and EL has had 27 shots on goal and scored 7. That means he's scoring 1 goal from every 3.8 shots.
Salah across the EPL and UCL has had 116 shots this seasons and scored 24 goal in those competitions. Which means he's scoring 1 goal from every 4.8 shots.
Statistically Hojlund is the more clinical player as he requires less shots per goal.
You should also consider that 7 of Salah's 24 goals have come from penalties. Whereas Hojlund doesn't take them for us.
Which actually means if you discount penalties and only consider open play shots, then Salah scores 1 goal every 6.4 shots compared to Hojlund's 1 every 3.8.
Factually Hojlund is a more clinical finisher than Salah.
If Hojlund had the same 116 shots this season that Salah has had, then he'd have 31 non-penalty goals compared to Salah's 17 non-penalty goals (24 if you want to include them) .
Hojlund's problem isn't scoring when he gets a chance, its getting the number of chances needed to actually score. Through a combination of his team mates not passing to him when he's in a good position as well as this thing where he keeps trying to wrestle defenders meaning he isn't in the right places often enough are the issues we/ he needs to sort out.
Yesterday Garnacho changed the game, no question. Yet there was a golden chance when Garnacho shot from a tight angle towards the near post and missed. When there was a very simple and easy 5 yard pass across the box to Hojlund who would have had a tap in from 4 yards with an open goal. That happens at least twice a game, players taking shots from poor positions when Hojlund is in a better position and is a simple pass away from a near certain goal.
Fortunately it is far easier to coach a player on things like how to use his body to hold off players, when to get involved in a physical battle and when to change it up, as well as where to be and when. Than it is to coach a player to stay cool when presented with a chance.
That ability to finish chances is the best part of his game and is already elite (based on a small sample size admittedly) . He's also quick and good with his head when attacking. There are areas of his game that he still needs to improve, just like every other young player. His touch can be inconsistent, he doesn't use his body well at the moment in physical battles, and he needs to learn to round his game out and mix things up more to keep defenders unsure of what he'll do. The first two can be coached into him, the latter comes with experience. He has all the ingredients to be a top player, he now needs time to develop those.
We have some great young players in our squad who is we can get them to reach their potential then we have the basis of a very good team in a few years time.
Amad has probably been our player of the season, yet he has often been better when playing at RWB compared to RF. But he still needs to gain consistency in his performances.
Mainoo has huge potential, yet his position isn't fully settled yet, is he better deeper or higher up? He needs to develop a bit more physically and gain more consistency.
Garnacho is very exciting to watch, but still makes the wrong decision more often than he does the right position. He also needs to develop his off the ball work.
Yoro has been described as potentially a generational CB. Yet its clear as day that he needs to refine his game. His passing is safe, and should be more expansive for a player of his technical quality. While his defending is inconsistent. Making phenomenal last ditch sliding tackles one minute to not being in the right place the next.
It'll be interesting to see how Dorgu does as well, he's been highly touted, still only 20 years old. Along with Hojlund that is 6 players 22 or younger who potentially have big futures.
That doesn't include players like Sekou Kone, Ayden Heaven, Toby Collyer, Godwill Kukoni, Harry Amass, Shea Lacey, Amir Ibragimov, Jack and Tyler Fletcher, Finley McAllister, Bendito Mantato, Samuel Lusale, Obi-Martin and Diego Leon who we've just signed who could all potentially have bright futures here if they continue to improve and can make that step up.
However, all young players need patience as they will be inconsistent while they develop, even the ones we've paid big fees for.
05 Feb 2025 15:12:31
There are differing opinions on here and I have to say I am also conflicted.
We have seen a real team spirit at times, against City, the Scousers, and particularly Arsenal, yet we fall flat on our face against what we have historically called 'smaller ' teams.
RA sounds very credible and believable one minute, then makes stupid statements the next.
I'm really not sure how I feel. Dealing with Rashford the way he did should be applauded, he is being very clear with Garnacho that he needs to improve, so he is not prepared to allow anyone to coast. All good stuff.
However, the results and performances, with the odd exception, have been pretty poor. A couple of opposing Managers have said it was easy to set up against us, and I again come back to the fact nobody ekse in the EPL uses this formation.
I get the narrative that the pkayers aren't good enough, but given our finances, I don't see huge numbers in and out quickly.
I was giddy after the second half against FCSB, but we followed it up by being complete cr4p again. I think I'm just confused.
1.) 05 Feb 2025 15:44:57
I understand what you're saying about what we are seeing on the pitch. Play is slow and ponderous. It seems to be down to a lack of movement from players off the ball so the player with the ball has no passing options except sideways or backwards.
You can see that players want to be progressive with their passes but nobody in front of them is making themselves available.
This is not a new problem which has started with Amorim, it's being going on for a long time.
I am enjoying the matches though. They are a lot more entertaining than under previous managers.
2.) 05 Feb 2025 15:51:05
You were giddy last week.
3.) 05 Feb 2025 15:51:51
What part of our finances will be under pressure come the summer ajh?
4.) 05 Feb 2025 16:15:30
We need width. I think we put the new lad straight in at lwb, and play amad wide right. We need to be brave and more threatening out wide or we look narrow and easy to defend against.
Bruno is an issue, he can be mercurial one minute, and sunday league the next. His positional discipline in the 8 role is worrying and makes us light in midfield even when ugarte the man beast is playing next to him. I think ugarte and collier together, but with actual attackers in the wide roles might be the sort of brave team selection we need to see.
Then let bruno, garna, mainoo, zirkzee fight it out for the 10s, with rasmus or zirkzee 9.
I also think the two wide CBs need to be mobile, maz one side, yoro the other, with de ligt ahead of McGuire in the centre.
If we win a cup this year, we get european money next year and can move forward. No europe puts us in a very bad position for next season. Lost revenue. Less attractive to players. Long way back if that happens.
5.) 05 Feb 2025 18:08:37
I was giddy ken, but it only lasted to the next game. It seems we are under pressure to balance the books. A new year may give us some wiggle room. but I doubt it will be enough for the major rebuild most of us think we need.
However, to echo Red Man, if we had a top striker who could score, things might look very different.
The mony spent on Hojlund and the Zirkzee signing are both baffling.
6.) 05 Feb 2025 18:33:25
There are significant psr rule changes coming and some high earners coming off the books so many of the regulation constraints will ease considerably. Adherence to those rules have been the financial issue.
Your flip flopping worse than shappy at his best.
Get comfortable being uncomfortable.
7.) 05 Feb 2025 20:20:49
I thought a couple of Prem sides use this formation, including Palace on sunday.
8.) 05 Feb 2025 20:26:43
3 at the back is one thing spenno, but not necessarily the way we set up.
Ken, are you not confused by what you see? Inconsistent doesn't even begin to describe it.
9.) 05 Feb 2025 21:15:16
Palace play virtually same way, in case you did not notice, but they got movement up top, and players that can hold the ball and don’t need to think what and where they are supposed to be or do, it will take time…
I don’t see Bruno as the problem, he is the only decent player we have, so jumping on the bandwagon of picking on him is ludicrous, he is way down the list of problems, Striker is main problem, GK is problem takes forever to release the ball, CBs too slow, I’m not even convinced by Ugarte and certainly not Mazouri so it’s hell of a job, but got to stick with it, we tried the sacking, the changing, so let’s stick with it and see where it takes us, anyone who thought anyone was coming in and getting us winning every game is in cuckoo land. Amorim is learning the hard way with his honesty, but it’s a breath of fresh air to me, although that won’t last because he will be sanctioned from above, but most of you wanted SJR now we got him…… grass not always greener!
10.) 05 Feb 2025 21:50:44
Not at all ajh to be honest.
There is nothing to be confused about imo. It's not pretty but I'd not going to be for a while but I'm very happy with RA off the pitch. I'm happy the on the pitch piece will come in due course. Time on the training ground. A pre season and some new players and I'm confident that the consistency will come and the quality improve. I'm quite surprised at your confusion and flip flopping. Never seen you so reactionary game to game. Pin your corks colours to the mast and be patient.
11.) 06 Feb 2025 04:54:37
AJH
You took the words out of my mouth. we are easy to figure out and play against. if you watch kobe for example what some people will say is lack of movement is not true, he has nowhere to go and when he receives the ball he has no space and too many players on him. He looks like he has gone backwards but this system is making a lot of players look poor. I echo your thoughts on the manager and his handling of rash also.
I am getting to the point of only expecting really poor performances and amused but what I am seeing. I think garna is gone come summer too as Napoli says they basically had a deal but his wage demands killed it.
we scapegoat our players but looking at the ones that have left, they seem do do pretty good elsewhere. Something is just not right and we should not be this bad.
12.) 06 Feb 2025 06:26:15
Guys, it is more simple than you think.
The answer lies in - history. It is simply not our time to be on the top, and all we can hope is that we don't have to wait for 30 years to win the title - but it is possible we will!
13.) 06 Feb 2025 07:47:32
Germansuppclub, I'm glad I'm not the only one with doubts over Mazouri, I don't think he's done anything since he got here and Ugarte can win a challenge but his passing is poor. Again not much upgrade with signings.
14.) 06 Feb 2025 09:23:05
When was the last time we were a difficult team to beat and play against? Jose and a bit of time under Ole maybe? United have been an easy team to play against for years. Shocking recruitment has us at this stage.
We aren’t a physical team, we aren’t overly powerful and we lack pace, and I feel that watching us at times the fitness levels aren’t great. If we can’t get ahead teams can overrun us in any system. As we saw last year 433/ 4231 it’s exactly the same.
We made two signings in January- heaven and Dorgu both big guys, quick and aggressive from what I’ve seen in clips. That’s the profiles I’d imagine we will see the club targeting moving forward.
15.) 06 Feb 2025 10:37:31
Some of the comments are harsh on Mazraoui, he's come into a new club in a new country and in the 20 something games he's played he's played RWB, LWB, RB, LB, left of a back three, right of a back three and even No. 10, all in a struggling side .
16.) 06 Feb 2025 12:07:55
I thought Mazraoui and Ugarte have been solid all things considered. We’re leaking less goals since they came in, fact. The lack of goals and creativity at the other end doesn’t fall on them.
17.) 06 Feb 2025 15:53:35
Shaw - crock
Mount - crock
Martinez - crock
Eriksen - done
Casemiro - done
Lindelof- crock/ done why extend?!
Anthony - so bad we pay him to play elsewhere
Rashford - attitude so bad we pay him to play for rival
Sancho - attitude so bad we pay him to play for rival
Look how badly our club is run. New players, new contracts all within last few years.
The players on the pitch are not the main problem. Glazers still owners. Loan is crippling and the mistakes are too. Total reset is required and it will take along time to untangle.
18.) 06 Feb 2025 18:29:06
I’m not so sure the comments on Mazouri are harsh, new club or not, he can’t really pass a ball 10 yards and his control is awful, both them things should be a given no matter where you play…
Ugarte to me is just too slow and his passing is erratic
Everyone said last year give Rasmus time, but he still got no better in fact worse, no we don’t create much, but his touch is awful, never wins a header when he does it’s feeble, can’t hold the ball up and for 6ft 3 and supposedly fast he just uses neither, poor striker… I would not even class him as a back up, little point having a back up who can’t hit a barn door!
19.) 07 Feb 2025 02:10:09
Mazraoui has been one of our better players this season, especially when in the back 3 which I hope to see more of now that Martinez is out, allowing Amad to be right wing back, that is when we have looked our best imo.
20.) 07 Feb 2025 05:08:02
Being one of our better players does not make him any good half the league probably more have better players than ours this season!
So if your measuring stick for a good player is because they been one of our better players this season we are well and truly doomed! That an utter ridgeway to measure a player…. if he were at any top 6 team he pro would not be in the team, if he were would we want to buy him, can he pass a ball 10 yards, does he have good control answer to all those is NO but it’s ok in your book because he been one of our better players, no wonder we are where we are….
21.) 07 Feb 2025 07:18:52
I think he’d be starting for most of the top 6.
22.) 07 Feb 2025 15:35:14
So how comes no top epl side even enquired about him when he was available, 5if he would be a starter at most of the top 6! He been a sub everywhere he been, never exactly pulled up any trees at Anywhere…. We only bought him in because he was chip and for cover, just that he plays because no one else any good or fit, don’t mean he is anygood.
31 Jan 2025 10:40:46
We saw some encouraging signs last night. The first half was the usual nonsense, but in the second half things changed. We were more direct, more forward passes, more one touch stuff, and the difference was huge, we looked a different team. There was an attack where we broke forward and had 4 players charging onto the area waiting for the cross. Energy, directness, fluidity, not words we have used lately.
I felt more optimistic than I have for some time watching the second half, but it reinforced that the GK and CF are real issues we need to address. Hojlund continues to struggle and Zirkzee isn't the answer. Onana has improved from his first season but I never feel confident he isn't going to drop a clanger.
Also interesting that RA is still experimenting, pushing Kobe further forward last night, which worked well, and Garnacho seems to be responding too.
Jeez, I'm almost giddy.
1.) 31 Jan 2025 11:49:39
I have thought for a while that Kobbie's best position might be further forward under Amorim.
It'll be interesting to see if he gets a run of games in that position against better opposition to see how he fairs.
2.) 31 Jan 2025 12:34:14
Good post AJH. Agree.
3.) 31 Jan 2025 12:44:52
Been banging the drum for Mainoo as a 10. He lacks the pace and energy to be a top central midfielder in my opinion. But his close control and ability to keep and use the ball in tight situations make him very useful as a 10.
4.) 31 Jan 2025 13:14:06
Agree ajh with most of that, the only problem is twasnt as if we were playing real Madrid.
5.) 31 Jan 2025 14:56:02
Fair point Leahy, but we beat City, drew with Liverpool, and saw Arsenal off with 10 men. Oir issue had been the 'lesser' teams, teams were would ordinarily expect to beat have been battering us.
6.) 31 Jan 2025 16:12:51
I felt watching it that players were in their positions, knew their roles better. I know it wasn't a big team we beat, but there was more fluidity and confidence throughout.
7.) 31 Jan 2025 16:40:04
Coaching takes time on the training pitch. Assessments of players and their roles takes time. The important thing is the players are following and are getting fitter and trying harder. In 18 months we will start the season with a realistic hope of competing for the title.
8.) 31 Jan 2025 17:51:19
If nothing else, RA has shown that he’s able to influence a game with his changes and make positive changes to the way that we play on the fly. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to say that about any of our managers.
9.) 31 Jan 2025 18:39:40
I hope so Ken.
But if certain pieces fall into place, I wouldn't bet against it being sooner than that.
10.) 31 Jan 2025 21:28:49
Mainoo absolutely should be ahead of Bruno, positionally.
11.) 01 Feb 2025 00:34:34
You mean play a little further forward than Bruno, Jim?
25 Jan 2025 19:26:16
Nkunku, seriously? Chelsea play Jackson ahead of him, who, if I am being kind, is nothing special, if I am. beong unkind, is bang average, and Neto gets game time ahead of him too. Injuries aside, given he can't get in the Chelsea team, do we really see him as a good move? Please God no.
1.) 25 Jan 2025 20:22:37
Chelsea don't play to his strengths. He's not really a 9, more like a second striker who could be ideal as one of the two 10s in Amorims system. That said, he's injury prone and we don't need that. I'd only like the deal if it's a straight loan, no obligations.
2.) 26 Jan 2025 05:36:47
Unruly, please stop.
Top players don't need the team to play to their strengths.
For example Amad. Utd aren't playing to this strengths, the guy just grafts and along with his talent he plays really well no matter what the rest of the team are doing.
If Utd can't sign a really great striker ATM they should just wait u till they can.
3.) 26 Jan 2025 07:20:19
Apologies, the OP was meant to he a reply to the thread below. It seems some of us have gone stark raving bonkers.
4.) 26 Jan 2025 10:28:01
Not everyone is a top player mancman. We are not the force we used to be, finance wise or football wise to sign top players. We have to appreciate where we are. And we need to sign players that fit the manager. Players like Amad are like gold dust, rare and you will never have 11 of them starting every week. We have to compromise. That is why Nkunku makes sense strictly on loan.
5.) 26 Jan 2025 11:42:40
I think this is a fair point. For years we’ve bought random signings with no plan or our 4th or 5th choices. Just sign nobody if that’s the case and play the younger lads.

I hope the time when we buy that level of crap has long gone…. please! Please please, we already got strikers who can’t hit a barn door, all we need is one who can’t even run to see the barn door! Surely it’s just poor reporting.

Rashford is incredibly talented, go check out his highlights reel.
He was always streaky, but at one point he was carrying the team, just before he injured his back. Since then he had the one season where he was hot but his issue is inconsistency and application. He doesn't look interested, ambles around, and given his talent, doesn't deliver.
It's a crying shame, he could have been the stand out superstar but for whatever reason, he just isn't up for it. He always came across as a humble boy, but now it's tattoos, jewellery, flash cars, trips to the US. He's free to do what he wants off the field, but when he isn't delivering on the pitch, then he can expect to get some grief.

I don't think Rashford is crap ken, I think he has amazing ability. However, his application and effort is poor and his head seems elsewhere, he's had long enough to fix it but doesn't seem able to.

It's almost unbelievable so many clubs want him, given he is cr4p. Maybe they see something in him.

This amount of activity demonstrates the serious restrucuring of the squad that is needed.
There are still a couple more that will be surplus and we continue to look light up front, but we can't do everything in one window. I don't see any more business unless we lose someone like Cas, which I am not sure is going to happen.
ETH may prove to be the right or wrong man, but this amount of change will need carful managing, those calling for his head to give their heads a wobble, the place has been a mess and this feels like the first step in trying to change that.

Some players do well at some clubs, and badly at others. Cantona never settled anywhere and yet he was a super hero for us.
De Ligt had huge potential bit hasn't pushed on, hopefully he finds his mojo; he and Martinez as a partnership looks very interesting.
We need to look after Yoro and ensure he builds on what is clearly huge potential. As for Zirkzee, never really seen him.

It's all very strange. Antony, who was dreadful in a United shirt, is smashing it in Spain. How is that possible, and why was he so bad for us? There is something very wrong at the club. The Manager isn't helping himself but then issues run very deep, good players playing poorly, a general malaise throughout the place.

In the rush to be free of the Glazers, we welcomed SJR with open arms. Some cuts made sense, but the focus on the lowest paid whilst wasting tens of millions on amateurish decisions leaves a nasty taste.
We were told the adults were now in charge but so far, I'm not seeing it.

You should post this on the Liverpool page Ork.

What has the fee got to do with it? The others learnt their trade, he's been thrust into a major club in a major league, not his fault. But hey, you've already made your mind up.

Ah, careful Tim, you have to trust the process.
