Is it true that Rashford has signed but may be banned from registering and so unable to play? If so what's the point of him signing?
1.) 21 Jul 2025 22:06:11
Its a possibility he might not get registered.
I don't care what the point is as long a he is gone.
They couldn't register olmo until jan last year in la liga.
They have sold a few so it might not happen this year. It is the reason Williams didn't sign because they could not Guarantee his registration would go through.
2.) 22 Jul 2025 09:17:06
Whether they register him or not they still have to pay his wages.
3.) 22 Jul 2025 11:06:51
Barca’s financial challenges continue to impact their ability to register new players. Rashford has agreed to a wage reduction to help free up space on their wage bill and comply with La Liga’s financial regulations. However, Barcelona may still need to offload current players to create enough room to register him.
A similar issue occurred last season with Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, whose registrations were initially blocked due to Barça exceeding La Liga’s salary cap.
The Spanish Sports Council temporarily allowed their registrations despite La Liga’s objections, and although La Liga appealed the decision, the court upheld the CSD’s ruling, allowing Olmo and Víctor to play for the remainder of the season.
La Liga maintains that Barcelona violated financial fair play regulations by failing to meet the 1:1 salary-to-revenue ratio required for player registrations.
4.) 22 Jul 2025 15:34:48
Funnily enough I think that would be karma biting him in the ass.
5.) 22 Jul 2025 18:26:16
Do you seriously think this not already been addressed! Yes it happened last seasons, but now players and agents are aware of this potential problem, it amazes me you think this been overlooked…. unbelievable.
6.) 22 Jul 2025 19:05:22
German, Tebas recently warned that Barça still lacks sufficient cap space to register new signings like Joan García or Nico Williams, sales or salary savings were needed, that is why the Williams deal fell through.
7.) 22 Jul 2025 19:06:33
German I realise that there must be a point but what I was trying to get at is how they can sign knowing that there is such an issue. For example do you think Rashford would be prepared if nec to sit on the sidelines for six months if nec before his registration was allowed.? Or more cynically do Barcelona just have the clout or connections to flout the law?
8.) 22 Jul 2025 21:33:21
German, its the reason Williams didn't sign. He was not guaranteed to be registered it bairns last season to olmo.
They have sold a few but according to their league they still have to do more to comply.
Im sure they will but there is no clearance from la liga yet.
So you are right agents and players are aware Williams and his agent were aware and decided not to take the risk.
9.) 23 Jul 2025 06:31:13
Oh so Williams said oh I would have signed for Barcelona but now I just go and stay where I am and whilst I am at it, I will sign a 10 year contract…Williams and his agent just flirted with Barcelona to get a 10 year huge contract, the papers have jumped on same bandwagon about he could not be registered
I can’t get my head around why you think it’s only the press in U. K. who go after United and make every story be sensationalised it happens in every country towards there biggest team, having lived in spain for considerable amount of years I would say it’s much more vicious in Spain and you also have to remember it’s very political, you are talking effectively 2 countries within 1
Rashford will be registered, Rashford will play and Rashford will do very well.
10.) 23 Jul 2025 18:41:01
It’s a matter of public record that Nico Williams’ agent approached La Liga to inquire whether Barcelona would be able to register the player in the event of a transfer. La Liga reportedly informed them that Barcelona would need to resolve certain financial limitations before being able to do so.
Subsequently, Barcelona lodged a formal complaint regarding that approach. The exact nature of the complaint hasn’t been made public in full detail, but it’s understood to relate to the way Williams’ camp sought clarity on registration viability.
This suggests that there was genuine interest from both sides, but also that Williams’ camp were not given a positive answer.
{Ed077's Note - Barcelona need some FFPR room in both transfer and wage funds. Remember all the trouble they had to actually register OLMO last summer ? Have they even gotten the green light to register Garcia (new GK) they signed earlier in the window? They can cry all they want but Nico and Bilbao (and the actual people involved) were right to seek clarity and assurances on the viability of the whole deal before completing it, in my view at least.
11.) 23 Jul 2025 19:30:31
Of course they were right to do so. They did check with the league as the league have gone public on it. i'm sure they will sort it before the end of the window and have given rashford their word. But I'm sure they have olmo their word last year.
12.) 24 Jul 2025 10:13:14
Ed077, I don't think William's camp did anything wrong in speaking with the league over Barcelona's ability to register him if he was signed. They were after all working in their clients best interests. They had probably seen how Olmo spent the first half of last season sitting out as he couldn't be registered and they didn't want the same thing to happen to their client, especially with it being a world cup year.
I'd imagine Barcelona's annoyance is based in whether the league disclosed anything specific about Barcelona's financial position. Which if they did then I think Barcelona have a right to complain about private details on their accounts being disclosed.
It's a tricky situation, and without knowing exactly what happened it's hard to judge the situation. Like always we probably only know about 20%, at best, of what has actually gone on.
Either way Williams not joining them has probably worked in our favour as they definitely wouldn't have signed Rashford if they got Williams. While him signing a new deal also works in our favour as it makes it less likely that Barcelona will go back for Williams next summer when Rashford's loan has ended, which should increase the chances of them making his loan a permanent move if he's successful there (which I think he will be) .
The biggest issue we will have now is if Rashford is successful it'll be constantly used as a stick to beat us throughout the season. Much like his mild success at Villa was.
Ultimately Rashford is a good player, and is actually one of our best. The problem is that the relationship between him and the club has broken down to the point where the only positive solution for both parties is a parting of the ways.
As a fan I'm not really interested in whose fault it is, I expect both parties have to share a proportion of the blame. It's just sad that one of our own has got to the point where he has to leave despite being fairly successful with us (he is our 11th all time leading goal scorer, and he did it during a real downturn in our history) .
He is at least three times the player Antony is, and Antony was very successful at Real Betis in Spain. So I'd imagine Rashford being a better player and playing in a much better team in La Liga will do very well. And I genuinely hope he does. The only positive he can provide us now is by showing off how well we produce players. Which hopefully creates more competition for our players and inflates the money we receive for them.
{Ed077's Note - shouldn't the clubs FFPR situation be open information? Afterall their financial reports are publicly posted ?
29 Jan 2025 23:23:57
What about Jonathan David from Lille. Anyone heard any potential interest from Utd bearing in mind he is out of contract in the summer so should be relatively cheap this transfer wundow.
1.) 30 Jan 2025 12:43:55
They were debating him on MOTD last night. Supposedly not ready for a top side was the consensus, which we're not, but he will be available free come the end of the season and therefore maybe on the cheap for a few days so maybe a good option for someone.
2.) 30 Jan 2025 14:47:38
He is another one of those players that seems to get a lot of mention in the transfer window and we get linked to as a slightly cheaper option who scores a good amount of goals. For some reason nothing from any team ever comes close to him leaving which suggests he is either happy where he is or teams do not think he will make the step up.
Not sure what the truth is but with our current forward line I would be willing to take a punt on him.
3.) 30 Jan 2025 15:33:28
Can he put the ball in the onion bag?
4.) 30 Jan 2025 15:36:34
The latest Media Mumbles about us involve Mathys Tel, 19yo, Bayern Munich forward who wants away for more game time. His stats this season are a virtual flatline.
I know bringing on our Academy/ u21's has been done to death over the past week or so but has anyone seen the highlights of the u21's v Oldham last night? 5-0, all in the second half and quite easily could have been 8.
Obi was everywhere, same for Kone - the whole team running their tripes out for each other the whole 90.
I hope RA gives one or two of them the last ten minutes towards the end of the season.
Whatever, but on last nights showing, the future looks bright.
5.) 30 Jan 2025 17:07:38
I think a few of us hoped that Ten Hag would look to the academy, but it never happened. Hopefully Amorim will take a different approach.
6.) 30 Jan 2025 20:12:15
Grim
Collyer, Mainoo, Garnacho all came from there and were promoted by ETH. I mean that's pretty decent going if you ask me. I think it's a case of players in the academy not being ready. Amorim has been here for months and hasn't promoted one yet.
7.) 30 Jan 2025 22:27:14
Tel off to Spurs apparently NTTL.
8.) 31 Jan 2025 09:30:02
I think we need an experienced striker loan if possible. Getting another youngster in on loan, when we have plenty already seems pointless.
9.) 31 Jan 2025 11:43:54
I wouldn't be against signing Jonathan David, I think he's a good player who could potentially fit into a couple of positions in Amorim's system.
However, I'd only want him signed if he was a genuine target based on his skill set and with a specific role in the team in mind. I don't want us to sign square pegs for round holes just because they are cheap or available.
10.) 31 Jan 2025 12:37:40
. read Zirkzee.
18 Dec 2024 19:15:11
Rumours of Rashford to Barcelona as part of a poss exchange deal. Might just be lazy journalism but I can see him thriving in tbe Spanish league with a team like Barca.
1.) 18 Dec 2024 21:43:55
They don't have the finances to register him.
Would Olmo though, perfect for the 10 and Barcelona seem unable to register him.
2.) 18 Dec 2024 22:27:03
Having a player on extortionate wages very nearly bankrupted them a few years ago lol.
3.) 19 Dec 2024 15:24:01
Didn't they sell off a lot of future incomes for cash up front last year? I can't see the problems easing for them at all.
4.) 20 Dec 2024 05:53:21
Barca do a lot financial engineering just to keep going. Their finances are a mess and their wage bill is huge. They need to get some players off their books. Its crazy given the talent that they produce from their academy which is the best in football but still manage to get themselves into this kind of trouble.
5.) 20 Dec 2024 15:59:25
When a club are having to use the wage space of injured players just to register their summer signing for another 6 months, you cannot see them going for a high wage player like Rashfodd.
But it's Barcelona and they like kicking the financial can down road, so who knows.
6.) 21 Dec 2024 08:10:42
Well Barcelona have a few players we’d do well to look at if true. Let’s see.
As for Rashford, I think his ate was finally sealed after he came on against Arsenal. The “performance” he put in was the worst I’ve seen anybody in a Utd shirt.
02 Mar 2022 23:34:16
Ancelotti is being touted as a possible Utd manager. What are peoples thoughts about him?
1.) 02 Mar 2022 23:39:31
He’s great.
2.) 03 Mar 2022 05:16:06
Good manager but seems unrealistic. That he’d leave Madrid. Feel like it’s just links to make it seem like we looked other than Poch.
3.) 03 Mar 2022 08:35:54
im still in shock he went everton, they had a top manager and didn't use him.
he could have with some investment and time made them a decent team.
4.) 03 Mar 2022 08:58:58
No thanks, for the job we need done he'd be completely the wrong man.
5.) 03 Mar 2022 10:16:31
Good manager, but I would put him in the same category as Zidane. Someone who is tactically flexible and is good at getting the best out of a team of talented ego's who may have lost a little drive or direction.
Not the kind of manager to perform a rebuild, develop young players, create a distinct style of play etc.
6.) 03 Mar 2022 13:08:42
agree shappy, he's a decent manager but he's a manager of 10-15 years ago
hopefully he's not one of the choices.
7.) 03 Mar 2022 16:53:30
He wasn't on the list of managers that ED002 provided us with.
8.) 04 Mar 2022 23:57:57
Shappy, Good manager, but I would put him in the same category as Zidane. Someone who is tactically flexible and is good at getting the best out of a team of talented ego's. Isn't that exactly what you need?
02 Dec 2021 22:36:29
So Carrick departs. suggests either he has a potential job offer or that the new manager wants a clean sweep.
1.) 03 Dec 2021 02:11:10
I think it’s possible he just wanted a break. He got a ton of stick for the last few months under Ole and probably didn’t see the fans accepting him. Or maybe he was in line for assistant after Phelan and now there’s no chance of that.
2.) 03 Dec 2021 06:41:33
We should applaud Carrick, he is not waiting around to be paid off, had the courage to go before pushed. Well done Michael. If only Phelan, McKenna and co had the same conviction.
I watched Carrick and the player was quality, his way of leaving quality.
3.) 03 Dec 2021 07:39:57
Agree Red Man. Did a great job at keeping us on track once Ole was sacked, and leaves with his had held high. Fine midfielder for us too in his day and think he will be in demand when he decides to return to the dugout for a decent championship club.
4.) 03 Dec 2021 08:27:42
15 years service to the club. He will be as disappointed as any of us with the last few years but stuck around to help the club in the last 3 games. Great player and classy guy.
5.) 03 Dec 2021 08:57:22
Agree Redman. Plus not wanting a long emotional goodbye shows the class of the guy.
6.) 03 Dec 2021 09:33:13
Class act in every respect and very underrated as a player by many. How we could do with him in the team today. Seems he genuinely just wanted a break and after 15 years service nobody can begrudge him.
7.) 03 Dec 2021 09:39:30
The guy deserves a flag or maybe even a statute ?
On a serious note I think it just makes sense that he walks away while his stock is at it's highest. As a caretaker he won in Spain against Villarreal, drew at Stamford bridge against top to the table Chelsea, and beat Arsenal at home.
I mean 10 days ago we'd have snatched their hand off if we were offered those results given how we had played so far this season.
Results wise I don't think he could have done any better.
Maybe a few other sides might look at that and think he's worth a gamble.
Whereas if he stayed until the end of the season and then Rangnick and the club decided he wasn't good enough and he was sacked, it'd make getting his next job much harder.
Or maybe he feels his friend and former boss was unfairly sacked and is simply walking away on principal.
Who knows, but he was a fantastic player for us, and he has no doubt tried his best as a coach. It's hard to tell how good he is as the whole set up just wasn't working. Maybe he's a better coach than many give him credit for, or maybe he isn't good enough for the highest level.
I do wish him the best of luck in his future endeavours and he will always be welcomed back at Old Trafford.
8.) 03 Dec 2021 10:13:27
How embarrassing it was to read so many continually slagging him off as a player. You know who you are. Good luck Michael. Thank you.
9.) 03 Dec 2021 10:48:42
i doubt he's got any jobs in line.
dont forget him and the others that were with ole are just as to blame for the poor season so far. why mkenna is still there and phelan i do not know.
10.) 03 Dec 2021 11:02:42
Bolger,
We literally have no idea what jobs the staff were doing or whether Ole was listening to them or delegating or just making all the big decisions himself. McKenna is highly rated and working with the right manager will hopefully so well at the club. I’m not sure phelan will last too much longer.
Carrick has done a good job in the last couple of weeks, it can’t have been easy and he’s managed to steady what was very much a sinking ship at Watford, so fair play. It gives Ralf something to work with straight away and a bit of confidence going into Sunday. He will then have a week on the training ground with the players, hopefully he plays kids against Young Boys and sees if any of them are ready, Fernandez, Amad, Hannibal, Mengi, Elanga perhaps, just to take a look at them and give the first team a week of coaching in his new system before the mad Christmas run.
11.) 03 Dec 2021 12:11:08
i have respect for Carrick for his handling of the last couple of weeks and his playing career especially.
Am just a little disappointed he didn't decide to learn from Rangnick for 6 months and then take his break.
It would have been completely different philosophy and training ideas compared to Jose and Ole and he could have benefited from that immensely.
On the other hand I can understand why he feels it is the right time to leave.
Probably a huge learning curve involved and thus even less time for his family and probably would still have had to endure the stick from the fans.
All the best, let's hope he does evolve into a more expansive style of play before he comes back to the club as manager.
12.) 03 Dec 2021 13:12:01
Jonny, I think that's a really great point. Many of the world's top managers have learned a lot from Rangnick. Carrick may have just passed up the learning opportunity of a life time.
13.) 03 Dec 2021 19:13:19
Classy player and even more of a classy man. He leaves with his held high to spend some quality time with his family. i wish him the best in whatever the future holds for him.
14.) 04 Dec 2021 09:32:18
Ralf wanted to keep him but sometimes you just need a break from the intensity of it all I guess. Who knows after a 6 month sabbatical the new manager may want to bring him back on board.
Personally I think if he does want to pursue a career in coaching it would do him no harm to search for a role abroad in Spain, Germany or Italy and learn away from the spotlight.
15.) 07 Dec 2021 05:36:51
Every post about MC is spot on but to be honest I think he also feels responsible for the slump and decided a clean break and fresh start for everyone was best.

05 Jan 2026 11:24:23
Just want to say that I can understand perhaps why he was sacked but if it was for wanting more control he was right to ask. The most successful teams have managers
I wish him well and hope he goes on to great success. Always seemed to me to be a decent guy.
1.) 05 Jan 2026 12:33:58
once i read the news about what he said i told a fellow united supporter this morning he is getting sacked no two way about it. you can always walk into your employers office and ask for things or discuss things you want changes etc etc but once he went public with it and took a few pot shots along the way he was gone. very immature and silly.
Wilcox is not fit to be deciding on style of play and will clash with the next manager too same with eth and amorim if that is what is happening and you believe the stories. His biggest achievement is running city's academy which by any standard is the best in the country in terms of money spent, facilities, ect etc and he did build that. I doubt he had a voice in how city should play under pep.
We will play better imo with even fletcher or whoever in charge once we have the afcon players back.
2.) 05 Jan 2026 12:47:11
meant to say he did not build city's academy.
05 Jan 2026 10:36:57
So RA has gone. Now what? Maresca.? His replacement did better than him against City. Speak to Chelsea fans and they are glad to see the back of him.
The Villa manager is my choice but probably not attainable. Who else is available. possibly Glastner and he might be a good choice especially if Wharton comes too. Ireola is having it tough at Bournemouth although admittedly they have lost their best centre backs
Wild card at least short term could be Carrick?
21 Dec 2025 21:12:14
Lots of suggestions for the squad
Can't see Guehi signing for a team unless they are virtually guaranteed to be playing Champions League or Europa League. We are not at that level
Baleba has regressed. Young player so may come good but his mental strength has to be questioned if he can't put last summer behind him and turn up for Brighton. Playing for Utd is a whole diff level of pressure.
Branthwaite is again a risky purchase. Is he really as good as some say or yet another overhyped player because he is English. Jury out for me on that one
More fundamentally why can't our scouting dept find top players like Brighton /Palace/Bournemouth amongst others seem to but who don't cost the earth. I know there is less pressure to come in and immediately be successful at those clubs but when was the last time we had a Schmeichel, Solsjaer or Ronny Johnson signing?
1.) 21 Dec 2025 21:31:47
Think guehi had his sights set on Liverpool.
Baleba as much as I wanted him in the summer would be 3 or 4 choice on the list
Branthwaite is a good player by all means but ain't worth the money and has had Injuries too.
2.) 22 Dec 2025 06:39:50
I actually think we will make a play for Guehi in Jan, along with Semenyo and Anderson.
Would be very happy with that as a window.
3.) 22 Dec 2025 09:22:19
Dont really see Palace selling Guehi now, might as well let him go on a free. 6 months left on his contract and any minimal fee you get for him will be outweighed by the extra 2-5 places in the league they will finish higher with him in the team and potentially getting european football again.
Anderson as well with forest in europe, makes no real sense for them to let him go, also he is firmly in the mix for England, no point putting that in jeopardy by joining a new club in Jan.
Hopefully we make a move for Semenyo and we can shift fully to this hybrid 4-3-3/3-4-3 system Ruben is trying to implement. Last two games have been promising but seeing Dalot at right wing yesterday was a bit underwhelming.
4.) 22 Dec 2025 10:54:54
I kept looking at the set up yesterday with Dalot on the right wing and thought ‘how good would this be if that was Semenyo? ’ Made a mockery of the people saying we won’t need anyone in that position. We should have quality and quality back ups all across the pitch.
5.) 22 Dec 2025 11:09:24
Guehi, semenyo and anderson?!? Would be absolutely stunned if we had a Jan window like that.
6.) 22 Dec 2025 11:51:02
I'm hoping we get players but I'm not really expecting much.
7.) 22 Dec 2025 16:08:04
Jim you think we will or you want us to or you would if you were in charge. They are 3 very different things. Considering we have not been linked at all i'd say its 1 of the latter 2 and definitely not the 1st one.
8.) 22 Dec 2025 18:25:30
Ken, we have been linked to them all.
I understand we have also been assessing them.
I would love them all yes.
If I were manager I would also be going for them.
But none of that matters, what matters is what the club do.
We don't have to wait much longer to see which course they take.
Semenyo will be wrapped up, one way or another early.
We have to buy a midfielder
I think we will make a move to beat the European elites to Guehi as he is perfect for our team.
9.) 23 Dec 2025 03:03:54
DSG, you think if Anderson had the chance to play for united in Jan he would stay to play a low level European comp?
Moving to united would only increase his chances of playing for England IMO.
Seems illogical to suggest he wouldn't want the move.
10.) 23 Dec 2025 04:28:51
We might make a move for Guehi but I very much doubt he makes or wants the move to us!
Anderson will wait till World Cup, if he plays well then every club in Europe will want him, so doubt he chooses us
Baleba gone backwards, but going backwards is RA trend so he will like that
I am not convinced Semenyo will want to be a wing back, why would he!
11.) 23 Dec 2025 10:21:43
When you say ‘us’, who do you mean? Just to clarify, no idea who you support.
12.) 23 Dec 2025 10:34:21
Jimbo, Anderson is already an established international as a Forest player. Even if Forest get relegated he'd doubtless move next summer.
Guehi, Anderson and Semenyo in Jan? I'd be stunned with just one!
13.) 23 Dec 2025 11:02:43
Dodgy, I’d be stunned if we have a summer window like that ?
Ever hopeful though ?.
15 Dec 2025 20:40:52
Good first half so far but we need to score more. Can't believe Ireola will accept Bournemouths first half performance.
And then they score
So predictable.
1.) 15 Dec 2025 20:59:18
Thank goodness Casemeiro scored to reflect our superiority. We really do need to put teams to the sword. Some of the approach play is really good but we need that killer instinct of old to bury teams and give them no sniff of a chance. That said a real pleasure to see them go at it from the off.
2.) 15 Dec 2025 22:43:24
Disjointed we didn't win that Salford. I thoroughly enjoyed the game. We battered them for the 1st 35 mins and should have scored a couple more. We could easily have won and in the end could have lost.
Some good fotball played by us great running off the ball and fluffed our finish too often. Mbeumo could hand done better a couple if times.
No midfield is costing us. Bruno does his best in there but not a natural and when cas goes off we have no defence minded player there. A couple of players there would make the world of difference. Hard to be satisfied with the result but great game ro watch unless your a defencive coach.
3.) 15 Dec 2025 22:57:48
Thought mainoo played really well in the pockets when he came on.
Cunha was brilliant tonight and mount too mbeumbo was off it I thought.
Again poor defending cost us I thought we looked far better in a 433 though at the end Shaw is still a brilliant left back in a 4 for me.
4.) 15 Dec 2025 23:00:26
Agree Ken
Midfield def a priority but don't want a second rate player like Gallagher. Get in a top top player. Also we miss de Ligt.
5.) 15 Dec 2025 23:24:44
Yeah cb is a tough spot for young lads in the epl. Shaw was hot and very cold tonight imo. Mainoo did well but jumped in didn't win it and vacated midfield with no bruno there to cover just a lack of experience and defencive instincts and we got caught vacant in midfield.
Cunha great all game delighted to see him get a goal. Great free kick by bruno. We bossed it early and missed great chances.
Great game to watch imo. But disappointed with the result yet happy we didn't lose it. ?♂️?.
6.) 16 Dec 2025 02:20:38
we are a very poor team managing a game. his substitutions are an ongoing trend that makes things worse. not going to do anything if this is how we play. we score but are piss poor defending.
7.) 16 Dec 2025 06:14:38
No point analysing that game to much ahmad, yes disappointing not to win but just enjoy it for what it was, the games against Everton and West ham were the big let downs.
8.) 16 Dec 2025 06:49:09
We found our attacking mojo but they ran right through the middle of us. The central midfield is wide open. Until fixed, this will be the same. At least in the first half whilst Cas could keep up we looked ok, until Shaw messed up.
Defensively we have two young centre backs who lack any protection at all in front of them, especially if our CM give the ball away in high risk places, which they do, whether angel likes it or not.
Substitutes were not an issue last night anyway. Maybe he needs to put Martinez in front of the back four in CM and just sit.

Red man, Martinez doesn’t have the discipline imo to sit and screen. He will just jump into tackles.
If we end up in a 4 long term, I’m not sure he will be a starter if I’m honest.

yoro has been terrible. the first goal I am not sure what on earth he was doing not going to close down heir winger. he has been poor quite a lot of games. too many runs getting behind him or across him.

That was Heaven Ahmad, not Yoro.

Well understood scholes. Some like to focus on negativity lots of positives last night which is what most reasonable fans will focus on.
I think we all know the squad has shortcomings so it can't be a surprise to anyone when those shortcomings display themselves. They're are few desperados that just can't wait to jump on the negatives. ??.

He is not a cm and won't be played there it would be stupid.

I know it's only one game but Forests Anderson was pretty anonymous today.
1.) 07 Dec 2025 04:30:01
So was Salah ?.
2.) 07 Dec 2025 07:53:39
Anderson was their stand out player today, which wasn't too hard given the performance.
3.) 07 Dec 2025 09:18:47
LOL Pspence. ???.
27 Jan 2026 20:56:43
I think Maguire will stay.
05 Jan 2026 14:03:11
Tichel after World Cup is a good shout.
17 Dec 2025 01:26:41
I hear the argument about selling Bruno at his peak but in terms of creativity Wharton and/or Anderson are nowhere near his level. yet
I remember Madrid fans calling for Modric to leave but he stayed four more years and played at a very high level and it might be argued that they have not found a better replacement.
Let his value run down I don't care. The Board should find a way to finance transfers of midfielders coming in without selling our best asset
I want Bruno to stay. Get better midfielders to defend and work alongside him and let him do his best work. attacking the opposition.
24 Nov 2025 23:43:02
Agree but I don't think he is great player. Better than we have but nowhere near elite level. I suppose that's where we are but it's depressing when you recall the calibre of top top midfielders we used to have.
24 Nov 2025 23:40:59
When we laboured without ever looking likely to score it does make you wonder why he was on the bench. It seems that RA is risk averse.
29 Jan 2026 18:43:14
Ken please don't be sensible
Make up some statistics which prove how we would have walked the champions league
It's ridiculous. We have won two or threegames against competitors who are nowhere near as good as they can be and people think we are back.
Arsenal City and Liverpool still have miles better squads than ours and they have been struggling.
Apart from Bruno I don't think any of our players gets into the above mentioned teams.
28 Jan 2026 23:18:17
Shaw has been playing very well and can play as a left back or one of three central defenders.
Mainoo has to be good for a long run of games but the door should be open for him.
Maguire should def be there. Underrated and been very good this season. Is an attacking threat for corners and free kicks too. He also has a positive effect on a squad being mature and experienced.
28 Jan 2026 23:13:56
I would welcome Hoijlund back if we hadn't already got sesko. Rashford might still be good for the left of attack but I can see Barcelona pleading poverty and us selling him for peanuts.
25 Jan 2026 22:27:26
Ty for being so gracious in defeat. I would prefer your team over City or Liverpool to win the title but do wonder if you have the mental strength to do so. Your saving grace may be the others are so inconsistent.
22 Jan 2026 23:28:35
He is one of those players who will probably only be fully appreciated bmanyy once he has departed. One of the few players who has taken Utd to heart. Scored important goals which we will miss.
