Sergio Ramos rumours again 🤦♂️ Let's hope we aren't stupid enough to fall for this stunt, it's clearly never going to happen.
1.) 01 Feb 2021 16:01:06
Not should it even if Ramos genuinely wants to join.
2.) 04 Feb 2021 01:14:17
I think Gaitan and Shhhhhnydur will come this year.
11 Dec 2020 10:53:48
Rumours of a potential Ronaldo/ pogba swap?! Surely not? Although it does sound like a deal we would do. Full of sentimentality and marketing potential but makes very little football sense. Ps I love Ronaldo just think we need better long term planning🤷♂️.
1.) 11 Dec 2020 11:19:27
the club done operate on football sense.
the money it would make them means it would be a no brainier.
tbf he could still do a job up front for 2 or 3 years.
2.) 11 Dec 2020 11:20:37
CR7 is the type of player a team is built around. He’s too old for that to be viable.
I say that boat has long since sailed, be proud of what he and the club did for each other and move on.
The End.
3.) 11 Dec 2020 13:07:45
Ronaldo will demand a lot from our players.
His dedication and attitude could bring the best out of many of our players.
CR7's age of 36 is equivalent to 30 of other footballers due to the way he maintains his fitness.
4.) 11 Dec 2020 14:18:42
Will break our wage structure adn very short term. Great player, but no thank you.
5.) 11 Dec 2020 20:17:46
I would take Emile Heskey as a swap just to get rid of Pogba.
6.) 12 Dec 2020 17:13:59
I loved Ronaldo when he was here, I have admired him since he left.
But Ronaldo is our past now, and we need to focus on our future. We also need to be careful that we don't become a retirement home, a place for the big names to go for one last big pay day. Zlatan first and now Cavani, a third time and it becomes a trend.
7.) 12 Dec 2020 20:14:48
RLF,
We have a wage structure?
8.) 13 Dec 2020 01:24:22
Would certainly have more of an impact and could definitely do a job for a few seasons.
{Ed0666's Note - A manager with balls and Ronaldo for 2 years would be exactly what Man United need right now.
9.) 13 Dec 2020 17:10:21
I would take him in a flash. Proven winner, great work ethic and attitude, the player of his generation, an icon. He would improve every player in the squad.
10.) 13 Dec 2020 18:34:07
And still better than anything we have in our squad.
11.) 14 Dec 2020 16:25:21
the Juve medical team tested him after recovering from C.V., he basically had the body of a 25 year old. He's got more muscle and is faster than before C.V.! C.V. is a wonder fuel I think.
12.) 14 Dec 2020 18:54:21
So a soon to be 36 year old, who while at one time was arguably the best player in the world, but has declined significantly since then. Is still better than anything we have in our squad. Yet this squad is 2 or 3 players away from winning the title?
13.) 15 Dec 2020 00:00:17
Shappy, Ronaldo is a phenom, he may have declined but he is far superior than a lot of players in our squad.
{Ed0666's Note - I think he’s far superior than anyone on you’re team
14.) 15 Dec 2020 07:54:29
Shappy, Ronaldo (and Messi) are light years ahead of any other players of this generation so yes, he probably is better. Imagine a couple of top signings and Ronaldo’s drive and mentality, the impact would be huge.
Can’t see it happening though.
15.) 15 Dec 2020 13:22:16
Yes Shappy. Once again you’re making random comparisons to suit your bias. Often two things can be true, especially when the two things you mention are completely unrelated.
If this swap deal has any chance of going through we should be doing everything to make it happen.
It’s a chance to bring in a winner who will score 20 goals a season, and at the same time remove an absolute liability from our club and let the door hit him on the back side on the way out.
It’s a no brainer.
16.) 15 Dec 2020 16:56:19
Ronaldo would transform the team. People need to stop waffling and talkin abt hia age. Ronaldo can go on until he is 38 39 easily and perform at a better level then anyone in our team.
Our main problem is Ole get rid of him and we have half our issue sorted.
17.) 16 Dec 2020 04:36:14
Do we really have to keep taking about Shappy's bias? Feels like an episode of Jerry Springer.
03 Oct 2020 18:42:10
Cavani coming on a 2 year deal apparently. will be announced soon!
make of that what you will. 🤷♂️.
03 Oct 2020 13:52:40
Sancho not in the Dortmund squad for today. every time the hope fades we get sucked back in 🤣 he's probably still sick but that won't stop the rumour mill for the next 2 days 🙏.
1.) 03 Oct 2020 14:00:03
It will be a bad ass coincidence for every United fan 😭😭😭.
2.) 03 Oct 2020 14:11:20
SSN reported last night that he wouldn't be playing today, so that is no surprise.
02 Oct 2020 21:30:12
Telles deal looking unlikely now also (telegraph) 🤯🤦♂️.
1.) 02 Oct 2020 22:40:00
looks like lvg was right then. now on to third choice.
2.) 02 Oct 2020 23:10:22
Rojo? 😂.
3.) 02 Oct 2020 23:10:38
Maybe utd will wait and sign him for free in January?
4.) 02 Oct 2020 23:15:51
Don’t think he can come for free in January, we could sign a pre contract for the summer but that’s not much use to us for this season 🤷♂️.
5.) 02 Oct 2020 23:29:17
at the end of the season. dose not help us this season.

Berbatov in the papers today defending the row between rashford and maguire. he stated he once argued with Rio and told him how to defend 🤷♂️🤣 I bet you rio really appreciated his input lol.
1.) 05 Mar 2021 14:06:59
makes you laugh, the media.
theres been times at games when I've seen legends give each other crap.
it happens so what.
anything for a story.
2.) 05 Mar 2021 15:18:04
Jaysus big pete and Bruce used take lumps out of each other. rio and neville ince and Keane. you have to say though rash was dead right when he caked Harry a 'knobhead'🤣
Bolger you are bang on. no story here.
3.) 05 Mar 2021 20:56:36
I’d be more worried if they weren’t shouting at each other and getting annoyed. I remember keanos face being like thunder many times, and thought to myself that someone’s for a bollocking 🤣.
4.) 05 Mar 2021 21:03:57
Exactly Tim is healthy enough most of the time.
5.) 05 Mar 2021 22:32:56
Absolutely spot on Ken, it’s a nothing story.
04 Mar 2021 14:53:57
Shoot me down if you want, but does anyone else think that the lack of contract talks has contributed to oles even more negative approach? Get top 4 and he probably gets extended, miss out and the board could decide to move on. Might be wrong but the lack of committal from the club has maybe got ole thinking 🤷♂️.
{Ed077's Note - no he has always been safety first IMO unless it's not an option at all}
1.) 04 Mar 2021 20:58:01
I agree but he seems to be even more negative now. if that’s possible 🤣.
03 Mar 2021 11:29:28
If ed002 is about and available can you shed any light on the situation between inter and united regarding payment for lukaku. It's reported in the paper that inter have missed a payment and now United are looking a large sum paid up or a player in compensation. Don't trust anyone but you in these areas so if you have any knowledge you could share I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - The owners of Inter Milan have serious financial issues which they are actively looking to resolve having folded their Chinese club Jiangsu. They are late on payments for a number of players and will need to negotiate with the clubs concerned (Manchester United, Spurs and Cagliari).}
1.) 03 Mar 2021 12:03:18
ED002,
Could Inter offer a player or players to those clubs instead of money?
Or do they have to come up with a payment plan that is acceptable to those clubs.
{Ed002's Note - They can agree anything they wish - Manchester United has an interest in Skriniar but he would not be first choice for them so it may not be the best way forward.}
2.) 03 Mar 2021 13:00:31
Thanks for the quick response ed002. Enjoy the rest of your day 👍.
3.) 03 Mar 2021 12:55:50
Thanks ED002,
Would it be possible for you to divulge who would be first choice for Utd?
{Ed002's Note - This has been done to death.}
4.) 03 Mar 2021 13:37:02
ED002,
I understand you now. I thought you meant he wouldn't be MU first choice pick from players at Inter that MU might want.
5.) 03 Mar 2021 13:41:38
Mad hatter it's on the rumours page.
6.) 03 Mar 2021 14:24:10
Martinez is the only player I’d take from that inter side. He looks real quality.
{Ed077's Note - What about Bastoni? I don't know how good of a defender he is but he looks really good with the ball.}
7.) 03 Mar 2021 14:39:15
I hope we persuade Inter for Lautaro Martinez.
Other players I like from their team are Hakimi, Nicolo Barella and Brozovic.
8.) 03 Mar 2021 17:35:26
Tbh Ed I find about 90% of centre halves who are very good on the ball tend to be rubbish without it these days! I think there’s a real lack of top centre halves out there.
{Ed077's Note - that's true Caolan.}
9.) 03 Mar 2021 17:47:28
Caolan, for the most part I agree. I think it comes down to this obsession of having ball playing CBs. A lot of them start out as midfielders who grew tall and broad so they get shoved into defence.
The art of defending, of reading the game, of knowing when to tackle and when to stand off, when to apply just enough pressure without fouling to limit what the opposition can do. All of it has gone out the window for the most part.
10.) 03 Mar 2021 22:14:23
TRD is right Martínez for me would be the best player to take if we had a choice.
28 Feb 2021 15:47:31
Ole going with his favourites at the back yet again. Lindelof maguire and DeGea have let him down before, will they again?
Hope not 🙏🤞.
1.) 28 Feb 2021 15:59:50
Exactly - would say can’t believe Bailly is not playing, but sadly it is to be expected and that will be Ole’s downfall as those 3 are not good enough to win anything.
2.) 28 Feb 2021 16:09:34
Not fair to lump De Gea in with the other two. He may not be at his absolute best, but it is not at all clear that Henderson is the better choice. What is clear though is that Bailly is head and shoulders above Maguire and Lindelof. The choice there should be for his partner - and for my part I think that should be Tuanzebe or Lindelof. Maguire is too much of a problem right now, especially when defending set plays due to this tendency to stand 2 yards behind the others in higher pressure situations.
3.) 28 Feb 2021 18:58:36
And yet a clean sheet, who’d have thought?
4.) 28 Feb 2021 19:07:02
So what? This isn't to say they are useless players, or that we can't get good results now and then with them. It's whether we're better off with other players. I'd also argue that with Bailly we can play a higher line more confidently, and so a higher press, which usually results in more goals from our team.
5.) 28 Feb 2021 19:17:15
Maguire and Lindelof 2 of our better players today.
6.) 28 Feb 2021 19:20:06
And yet we did play z higher line and press today.
Personally I would play bailly but lind maguire and ddg all played well .
Bailly is also again returning from injury.
7.) 28 Feb 2021 19:48:47
Agree that they played well today. But that doesn't change the strong belief that I think many here share that Bailly is the better player and we're generally a better team with him in it.
8.) 28 Feb 2021 20:01:50
Maguire is a lumox. He plays as an individual. He doesn't think about the position of other players in the team.
Week in, week out he drops deep and plays the opposition onside.
Lindelof and Maguire need to go. But there be a significant loss when it comes to the sale of Maguire.
9.) 28 Feb 2021 21:07:48
Chelseas attack today is not the standard by which our defence should be judged. Their attack was as toothless as ours. PSG put our defence to the sword. A top team will generally beat us if they have a real go. Our midfield and defence are not good enough.
10.) 28 Feb 2021 21:40:57
I'm not a fan of Maguire and feel if we are to be genuine title challengers we need better than him as a starting CB.
Yet today he did little to anything wrong. At the home of a top four rivals he along with the rest of our defence kept a clean sheet.
I don't think you can ask much more than that from them.
We didn't lose today, but we didn't win because we were unable to create any great chances and we didn't take the chances we did create.
With a young front line (Rashford 23, Martial 25, James 22 and Greenwood 19) form is likely to fluctuate and consistency will be a problem. Sadly atm all our forwards are out of form at the same time.
Keeping Bruno and Cavani fit and in form for most games will likely be the difference between success and failure this season.
11.) 28 Feb 2021 21:41:25
What did the Romans ever do for us?
12.) 28 Feb 2021 21:50:18
So we keep a clean sheet today and thst means we have to go back to the PSG game .
Which game the one when we defended really well and beat them?
13.) 01 Mar 2021 00:19:11
or the one were they knocked us out this season.
14.) 01 Mar 2021 09:05:46
Dazw
This thread really sums up the site .
We defend well today so let's look back 5 month to find a negative?
22 Feb 2021 14:52:46
Afternoon everyone, wanting to gauge opinions on Martial, he's been woeful for most of the season and genuinely looks disinterested. Should we try and sell him this summer or keep him as a backup/ rotational player only. Interested to hear what everyone thinks, for me I think I would try and sell him, he's got the talent but is consistently lacking between the ears 🤷♂️.
1.) 22 Feb 2021 15:21:02
From martials point of view, I would look to leave and look at the examples of Lukaku and Memphis. They are both clearly enjoying their football a lot more than they were at manchester united and their performances show that. Lukaku looks like he could be the key player in breaking juventus dominance in Italy and Memphis is linked with a move to Barcelona, both done very well.
At one point leaving manchester united meant your career was only going one way and that was down but plenty of players who have left post ferguson have shown that the grass is actually greener if you can get out of the club and find a decent club. Zaha, Memphis, Lukaku, Evans, Smalling, Di Maria, Falcao, Mkhitaryan, Evra, Herrera etc.
From the clubs point of view I can see the merits in keeping him as a backup striker/ left winger as the summer market is hardly going to be full of buying clubs and we won't get the fee we want.
But one things for sure, I don't think Martial should be a starter for us going forwards after the horrid season he's had. 4 league goals this season, 2 of which came in a 9-0 against Southampton is a proper woeful return.
2.) 22 Feb 2021 15:31:15
DSG the only person letting martial down is himself not the club. His lake of desire and work rate is alarming to me. We brought in some serious competition for him in cavani and he’s not risen to the challenge. I don’t see him ever fulfilling his huge potential unless he has a pretty drastic mindset change.
3.) 22 Feb 2021 15:44:04
Caolan the second. that's a good point youve made but in my post i'm not excusing Martials performances.
Im just saying it might be worthwile for his own career to leave the club and play elsewhere for a fresh start. he's been here 6 years and had good moments but apart from last season never established himself as the key attacker in our team.
4.) 22 Feb 2021 15:59:59
I think for himself he needs to go. I think psg could look to him to come should they lose mbappe.
5.) 22 Feb 2021 16:59:30
Terrible player, what a waste of a shirt. Ugh!
This is Man Utd we are talking about and this joker thinks he should be the number 9 / main striker? He is having a laugh and if he really is on £250k a week then he really is laughing.
There is no room for players like Martial and Pogba at Man Utd. They just take up space and money which could be used for proper players instead.
6.) 22 Feb 2021 18:31:15
I'm with you manc. Martial hurts my eyes.
7.) 22 Feb 2021 18:40:32
Imagine replacing Mbappe with Martial. It would be like when we replaced Ronaldo with Valencia, Owen and that other wingers whose name escapes me.
I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but Martial has opportunities. Last night Ole had to shout at him from the touch line to move. He actually shouted ‘Anthony move! ’ The amount he earns in wages for the effort and output is nothing short of disgusting.
8.) 22 Feb 2021 21:19:41
Martial reminds of Alan Shearer - doesn't want to play for United.
9.) 22 Feb 2021 23:24:05
He is a very talented player but he will never fulfill his potential unless he learns to work much harder
He will never be a Cavani or Shearer type of centre forward. Right now Rashford is better on the left than Martial.
Martial should go to France or Spain which will probably suit his style of play.
11 Jan 2021 17:00:38
The rest may well get moves, but I’m not sure we could give Jones away tbh 🤣.
17 Oct 2020 19:12:13
If only. The actual team is shocking.
05 Oct 2020 11:32:22
Dembele off according to multiple reports.
04 Oct 2020 13:25:36
It’s taken 3 weeks for this to be the offer 🤷♂️.
02 Oct 2020 23:15:51
Don’t think he can come for free in January, we could sign a pre contract for the summer but that’s not much use to us for this season 🤷♂️.
07 Mar 2021 18:44:51
100% mate. buzzing with that result ☺️.
05 Mar 2021 20:56:36
I’d be more worried if they weren’t shouting at each other and getting annoyed. I remember keanos face being like thunder many times, and thought to myself that someone’s for a bollocking 🤣.
05 Mar 2021 10:59:13
Hope you’re right. 🤞👍.
05 Mar 2021 09:24:14
Never a doubt. the board are driven by money not success. Getting that champions league revenue is all that matters. although would u bank on us getting top 4? I wouldn’t.
04 Mar 2021 20:58:01
I agree but he seems to be even more negative now. if that’s possible 🤣.
