Oles happening.
1.) 06 Jan 2026 17:47:56
The scenes on here if that happens…hard hats at the ready ?.
2.) 06 Jan 2026 18:06:33
I'll be sick.
3.) 06 Jan 2026 18:13:20
Absolutely desperate, at least neville and his chums will be happy, won't hear a peep out of them for the rest of the season, I can see it now, we beat city and arsenal and rio will be wailing for him to have it full time, unbelievabley funny.
4.) 06 Jan 2026 18:20:12
Maybe wilcox is on some sort of sabotage job.
5.) 06 Jan 2026 18:28:39
Jeez…. At least we have form for getting personnel back after we get rid of them.
6.) 06 Jan 2026 18:35:13
Probably fits Nevilles idea of "Utd Dna", whatever the f that is! Genuinely embarrassing when they say this.
7.) 06 Jan 2026 18:57:37
If its Ole again, then that's the final nail in the coffin.
8.) 06 Jan 2026 19:51:33
Must have fell into a time machine and gone all the way back to 2018 man utd manager gets sacked after outburst at board ole Gunnar solsjaer. Steadys the sip .
9.) 06 Jan 2026 20:10:40
Groundhog Day.
10.) 06 Jan 2026 20:16:55
Ole is a good man, loves the club and will stabilise the mood. It will be a 5 months max.
Some very disappointing comments here. Ole deserves better and respect.
11.) 06 Jan 2026 20:24:54
Ole is to sir Jim as Martin is to wee dermott up in Glasgow. I’d much rather carrick be brought in as I thought he did ok at boro and for a few months then why not.
12.) 07 Jan 2026 02:19:45
I’d take Ole and Keane until the end of the season. Fairly confident they’d have us finishing in the top four.
13.) 07 Jan 2026 08:55:27
I dot dislike Ole, but let's be honest, he did not push the club forward, at all. May E he didn't send them backwards either, but we have some very big years ahead and he is not the guy, never will be. He is a yes man. A spineless yes man. A puppet, as it were.
14.) 07 Jan 2026 09:19:30
A few thoughts re: Ole, I think there was a perception last time that he pretty much let the players do what they wanted at training - probably over-simplifying things but it seems there wasn't as much structure to the sessions behind the scenes. Maybe that's why he was so popular with the players. How much of that contributed to the 'player power' culture, with Rash/Lingard/Sancho all in full flight in that period.
That being said, I doubt there's been a more popular United manager in recent years, and I'd say that the Ole era first time round was vastly more enjoyable to watch than any other for the past 13-14 years, even the final Fergie season.
I'm not overly against Ole as caretaker, but for christs sake no matter what kind of run if any we go on, no knee-jerk contracts before the board have sat down at the end of the season and discussed properly.
15.) 07 Jan 2026 10:09:56
I still don't understand the negativity about Ole's managerial tenure. Especially as we've visibly gone downhill since he was fired.
Ole had a clear deficiency tactically, particularly regarding making changes mid-match, but I always felt this was something which he could learn, and he did make some improvement in this area during his time with us, albeit not by a lot.
However, he also had players giving their all, gave us some of our best league finishes since SAF (certainly better than we've had since he left), a fairly decent win percentage, and IMO at least, the most entertaining football we've played since SAF.
Obviously that last part is subjective, and "entertaining" is not necessarily the same as "good", but we scored a lot of goals, and even the losses tended not to be boring.
I'm not saying I want him back, but I don't understand the negativity.
16.) 07 Jan 2026 10:20:17
Carrick didn't do well at boro. His training methods were questionable and I'm sure it was a case of jobs for the boys aswell. He simply has got what it takes to be an interim manager at Utd.
The same goes for OGS. Maguire was exceptionally poor under OGS. He simply doesn't suit a 4 at the back formation. Whenever teams played pressing football against Utd, they simply buckled. Let's not forget that Ralf Rangnick said that they were not fit enough when he took over.
Let's not fall back into bad habits and employ previous managers. They need to employ an interim whonplay football similar to the next manager that comes in. A bump less changeover must happen.
17.) 07 Jan 2026 11:18:16
I am shaking my head at so many of the comments. Amorim took a poisonous player centric culture that had built up under several managers. As much and all as I admire Ole, he was one of those. I don't understand at all why we're going straight away for interim managers rather than trying to get a manager in right now.
If we cannot get those managers then fine, but not even trying seems crazy. Surely it doesn't take 6 months to evaluate who is a good coach or not.
18.) 07 Jan 2026 12:32:43
Don red. For our lot it probably does. Their end of season review of eth took about 6 weeks. ?♂️.
19.) 07 Jan 2026 13:16:32
DonRed,
I'd imagine that the club are potentially looking at Glasner, Tuchel, Iriaola whose contracts expire this summer. to save money and give them time to have a full pre season.
There was talk that Enrique is ready for a new challenge etc. He would be by first pick, but he was to leave PSG, he will likely end up at City. They fit like a glove.
20.) 07 Jan 2026 13:44:53
Mad Hatter, the potential cost from a lower league position is likely to be much higher than the cost to get Glasner or Iraola now. As for Enrique, unless he has clearly indicated that he wants to come to us then waiting for him seems like a fools errand.
21.) 07 Jan 2026 15:02:43
DonRed,
I would happily go for Glasner or Iraola now.
22.) 07 Jan 2026 17:41:33
Get Glasner now, don't wait. Grease the wheels of Guehi, Munoz and Wharton on the way out.
It seems so simple, yet we will buckle to the OGS 2.0 a d we will be here again in a year or two when he gets found out for being tactically inept. I would say he is only good at being a people person and not upsetting anyone, hence the player power debacle.
We need a leader, he is not a leader.
There is a video of him talking about Keane, you can see he is just in awe of him, but you can also see that he is incapable of relocating that trait.
Again, I don't dislike the guy, I was a teenager when he scored against Munich and recall dancing around like a madman. But not once did I dance around when he was manager, because he is not a manager, he relied too heavily on the say so of Fergie at the time.
26 Jun 2025 11:34:02
Good old rumour here lads. Rashford has sold a couple of cars as he is off to Spain and it's pretty much done. That's according to the guy who sold the cars. i presume it's Barcelona he is off too, as he didn't mention a club.
1.) 26 Jun 2025 12:04:50
I remember when we used to get loads of these, brilliant! Thank you for sharing.
2.) 26 Jun 2025 12:29:41
This the same guy who sorted Depay’s cars a few years ago.
3.) 26 Jun 2025 12:53:42
I don't know who did that grim. But this fella does a lot of players.
4.) 26 Jun 2025 12:55:37
Very highly doubt he'll be going barcelona.
5.) 26 Jun 2025 13:07:53
@Dn8red maybe if he signs for Espanyol.
6.) 26 Jun 2025 13:21:06
Barca probably have better ball boys than Rashford.
7.) 26 Jun 2025 14:21:03
If they do spenno, maybe we can sign them as we have a problem with scoring goals and rashford did a lot of that for us.
15 starts for us last season and had 7 goals. and that was bad apparently.
Lucky we got rid of him and scored a lot more ?.
8.) 26 Jun 2025 14:31:22
Rashford is a bad ball boy as well but wants the job at Barca? ?.
9.) 26 Jun 2025 14:40:43
Is Rashford not aware we have these big boats called ferries that take cars?
10.) 26 Jun 2025 14:42:30
Love these old school rumours. usually someone who is working on house search in advance!
I would not be surprised if Rashford was wanted by Barcelona as he can cover the wing and striker positions. With Williams looking like he will come in and them still having Raphina and Lamal it feels like he will be going as a rotational piece.
Ideally a sale but realistically with their financial position with La Liga (unless they have pulled more levers! ) it will be a loan with a fee and wages covered. possibly option/ obligation to buy.
11.) 26 Jun 2025 15:27:05
Don't care where he goes i hope he gets the move he wants and if he true he will do well at Barcelona I'm sure.
He is not wanted here by the management the coach or the vast majority of fans.
Goodbye good riddance and good luck.
I don't get the obsession of where he goes as long as he goes its the main thing.
A loan and no wages to pay helps the finances considerably and I think he could do well enough to be bought next year.
Much rather a sale but the squad and manager need him to be gone for the betterment if everybody including himself.
12.) 26 Jun 2025 20:16:45
I heard he was on a mission to give Spanish children decent school dinners not paella rubbish.
13.) 26 Jun 2025 22:03:49
Salford, do you know any kids that struggle for food?
Because I do, very well. And you might find a joke in it, but 1000s dont.
{Ed007's Note - What do you want, an MBE?}
14.) 27 Jun 2025 00:30:32
Angel. I applaud what Rashford did BUT on the playing field since then he has done nothing of note.
I have no idea what if any personal issues he does or does not have in his life but he is getting paid a fortune to play for Utd. He has not given good value for that money. That's beyond dispute. His salary for one year would have paid for a helluva lot of school meals.
And my comment was tongue in cheek but with a serious side to it too. What sort of example is he setting to those children who support Utd and idolise him. especially the kids from Manchester who see him as one of their own. His actions detract from all the good work he has and my still be doing unknown to me.
15.) 27 Jun 2025 09:33:13
You might think rashford is a nice guy 1000's don't.
Criticism and people's indifference to rashford seems to rattle you angel. Deary me.
16.) 26 Jun 2025 23:03:25
What you on about ed?
{Ed007's Note - Didn't Rashford accept a bauble as a pat on the head from the very establishment he was speaking out & campaigning against?
17.) 27 Jun 2025 11:55:37
Yes Ed he did. Champagne Socialist.

04 Jun 2025 11:53:08
Hey ed001, I know you're a well connected guy and have been answering transfer questions on other pages. But do you know if Gyokeres is someone united are pursuing as a possible transfer?
{Ed001's Note - he is an odd one, everyone looks but no one wants to actually pay up and sign him. Amorim likes him and he loves Amorim apparently, so I would not be surprised if a move is made when you clear the decks.}
1.) 04 Jun 2025 13:23:22
Managers normally like to bring a player they have worked with before.
A striker is a must for us I think if we can get some sales in we will sign him.
Other than gyokores, oshimen and i'd say kane there’s not many strikers out there
The pool for strikers is so poor compared to the 2000s
A dying breed strikers atm.
2.) 04 Jun 2025 13:29:08
Doing it in Portugal is one thing the EPL is a different animal, it's always a risk.
3.) 04 Jun 2025 14:11:39
Watching Gyorkeres in the Champions League and minimal you tube match highlights for Sporting he definitely looks decent especially if the £55m is true.
The only issue is we have been burned previously with players from the Managers old team. but if the price is reasonable and the system being specific I feel like this is one that would work.
The longer time goes on the more other clubs seem to be moving for other targets, we may be doing work behind the scenes which is why nothing with other clubs is coming out. The way Mbuemo information went we could suddenly get news he has chosen us and discussions with Sporting!
I would defintely take our front 3 if he does come in. defenses will not get a minutes rest with the work rate.
4.) 04 Jun 2025 14:25:48
Yes AJH, but his numbers are incredible. Like, not just good numbers, incredible numbers, both domestic and in Europe. And with strikers, it's all about confidence, and Gyokeres has that in abundance. I think he would be a great signing.
Ed001 thanks. I thought he would be ideal for arsenal and liverpool, particularly given his asking price, it's very attractive. But because they haven't made a move for him or they seem to be looking elsewhere, it has me thinking that he may have made a commitment already to someone else. It was with RA that those numbers were reached. So here's to hoping they can get that done.
5.) 04 Jun 2025 15:25:24
I'm pretty down about our situation, but if we can move on Rash, Sancho, Antony, and Garnacho, and replace with Cuenha Mbuemo, and Gyokeres, then we may see a significant uplift.
6.) 04 Jun 2025 17:15:38
Cunha, Mbuemo, and Gyokeres would be an incredible front three.
7.) 04 Jun 2025 18:14:04
Well, I did read a private rumour that someone in Portugal knows Gyokeres and he wants to come to us. No idea if true but this is a rumour site and have to wonder why Arsenal are not all over him.
I suspect the financial year end is 30th June so the club may wish to push some financial outlay when buying into July, whilst selling and have that income in year end June 25 . Depends also, what day pre season starts because RA will want to have them mainly in as early as possible.
8.) 04 Jun 2025 19:55:49
Red man. I think Gyokeres has said to them he doesn't want to go there. It's the only reason I can think of.
9.) 04 Jun 2025 21:14:06
Watch me be completely wrong by the way ?.
10.) 04 Jun 2025 21:24:21
Red Man, I think there could be something in your post. I’ve read a couple places that Gyokeres loves Amorim and visa versa so clearly a relationship there. It is strange there are not more rumours of clubs pushing for him, he would be the most sort after striker that is available this summer you’d have thought. And the financial year point is fair and perhaps with their previous work, Amorim would be happier for a player like him to come in later as he knows what Amorim would want in his system as opposed to others who Amorim would be new to this so the urgency may not be as important for Gyokeres. Shift some players out between now and then to make financials easier. Or this could all be complete nonsense and he’s on his way to Newcastle ?.
11.) 04 Jun 2025 23:42:10
I think people forget Gyokeres has already played in England and was very good, ask Coventry fans what they think of him, they will all tell you he’s the real deal. Ok it was the championship but he’s proved he can handle English football, I think that’s a positive on top of the fact he’s scored over 50 goals in a season, no mean feat anywhere.
12.) 04 Jun 2025 23:42:13
Ssvredman aludes to wanting push purchases back to 30th June for Accoubting reasons makes sense but so to does sales. If right now you have balanced PSR for the last three years then there is a benefit to the future by moving sales to July.
13.) 04 Jun 2025 23:50:08
I'd be completely stunned if we somehow ended this window with a completely new front free of Cunha/ Mbeumo/ Gyokeres.
On Gyokeres, I think without the RA connection most would probably be urging us to steer clear, it's only the Portuguese league, he was at Coventry etc. Ok he's no Rooney or van the man but this is the guy RA made, he's the single-most suitable player for this club right now bar none. Surprised no-one has already snapped him up tbh unless he's waiting for something. If it doesn't happen, well I guess he just makes another one.
14.) 05 Jun 2025 11:50:11
Also, mostly why players struggle in pl is because of the physical side and pace.
He has got both in abundance.
15.) 05 Jun 2025 12:14:33
Absolutely spot on GDS2.
I am from Coventry so saw a lot of him and he is a great player. The old argument comes in regarding players from foreign leagues. Can they do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke? Yes - He scored against them 3 times in 6 games.
16.) 05 Jun 2025 12:26:21
I'll be astonished but delighted if we can get Gyokeres. Obviously, he knows Amorim and the system but he has played in England, is able to fashion chances for himself with the ball at his feet as well as being a physical presence. He's also scored a shed load in the last few years. Probably the best striker we could hope for right now.
A front 3 of Mbuemo, Cunha and Gyokeres should, I stress should, bring us a significant upgrade in attack next season, especially if we can get a quality midfielder in to play alongside Bruno that can allow him to get forward too.
17.) 05 Jun 2025 14:26:48
I still think Hojlund can be our main man in a few years, and I think Gyokeres could be key to helping him fulfil his potential.
Firstly, Hojlund needs to have the pressure taken off him. Gyokeres would naturally be first choice, moving Hojlund to backup/ impact sub etc. Being clear 2nd choice to one of the top strikers in the world won't hit his confidence like being 2nd choice behind a lesser striker, and confidence is clearly an area he's already struggling in.
Secondly, there is probably no-one better he could learn from in terms of learning to play the role Amorim wants him to fill. He has the raw attributes for it, he just needs to learn how to pull it all together, and working with Gyokeres can help with that.
Meanwhile Gyokeres is the perfect fit as a first choice striker for Amorim and will go a long way to solving our goal shortage by himself.
18.) 05 Jun 2025 15:59:00
One of the top strikers in the world! That’s a bit of a stretch, let’s not go that far, yes great if we could get him, but he is not one of the best in the world…
Plus Rasmus ego to big to accept being back up, he won’t never be what we need, coaches been working with him non stop and he getting worse not better! That’s a worry.
19.) 05 Jun 2025 16:26:02
Something seems a little off to me with Gyokeres. Sporting are willing to let him go for £25m less than his buy out clause. He’s scored buckets of goals and yet nobody has shown any concrete interest that we know of.
You’d think with his goals record and the lack of available strikers in the market there would be a queue for him.
Just weird that there’s not much happening with him. Maybe it will all start in July, or maybe there is lots going on in the background that we don’t know about, or maybe it’s because he wants United.
20.) 05 Jun 2025 20:21:10
It was reported last year that if he stayed for another year then Sporting would drop the price this year.
As for interest I don't know how to gauge this, maybe his management company don't know anyone on Tik Tok. I do know the window opened on the 1st June and the accounting year ends on 30th June.
Plus it was Vic's birthday yesterday, I hope Amorim remembered to WhatsApp him.
21.) 05 Jun 2025 21:26:07
Reading some of the Sporting fan pages they seem to want him to move on to bigger things and use the money to reinvest, plus the have Conrad Harder who they expect big things of.
22.) 06 Jun 2025 20:49:43
I’m coming around to the idea that he’s 100% signing for us.
His numbers are too good. Other sides would want him but they’ve obviously been told no.
Mbuemo to be in by the 10th, then sell, sell, sell for the rest of June. Garnacho, Rashford, Sancho, Antony should all bring in £125m combined. They Gyokeres comes in and Hojlund leaves on loan.
23.) 07 Jun 2025 11:40:44
Downsie, the problem is that not all the money brought in from those players will be profit that can be used to reinforce the squad.
Rashford will sell for 30-35m in my opinion, the club want 40m but I don't see any buyers prepared to take on his wages or even come close to them. However, whatever he goes for is pure profit.
Garnacho the club wants 60m, I expect something more like 45m plus add-ons taking it to something like 55 or 60m in the end. This would also be pure profit.
In theory the club wants 100m from them two, in reality it'll probably be more like 80m, at least in the short term.
Sancho we still owe 17m on amortisation for him. So only money above that figure counts at profit. Which sadly it is unlikely we get much above that amount for him.
Antony we still owe 35m on amortisation for him. It'll be a miracle if we get someone willing to pay that much for him, let alone more to garner a profit. I'd expect us to agree a loan deal with an obligation to buy next summer for around 30m which might actually be better for us as by that time we will only owe around 20m on amortisation for him meaning we on paper make around a 10m profit.
There are very few players in our squad that we can actually sell for a guaranteed profit.
Bruno, Mainoo, Shaw, Dalot and Collyer are the other ones alongside Rashford and Garnacho.
Of those we might get 10-15m for Collyer, Dalot should fetch 25-30m, Mainoo 45-50m, and Shaw we would be lucky to get 5m given his wages and injuries. While Bruno has committed himself to the club.
The only one of these players I see us possibly selling is Collyer, with maybe an outside chance of Mainoo if someone came in and made a silk offer for him.
All the other players in our squad we have to sell for at least a certain amount before we get any profit from them. Whereas if we sell them for sell than that then it actually counts as a loss and reduces our budget.
Casemiro needs to go for at least 18m, Onana for at least 30m, Højlund for at least 38m, Mount 35m, MdL 40m, Martinez 25m, Mazraoui 8m, Malacia 4m, Ugarte 38m, Amad 12m, Zirkzee 22m, and Bayindir 8m. Maguire because we triggered the one year option we would need to do some sort of agreement with him to split any potential fee with him to avoid profiteering issues. Which ultimately means we get little to nothing from that deal.
There are a few players there that we might be able to gain a profit for (Amad and Mazraoui probably, but we wouldn't want to sell them), most of them a fairly small one (Malacia, Bayindir, and Zirkzee we might be able to raise 5-8m profit from each of them) . The rest we would be lucky to break even on.
There will be a lot of players leaving this summer, but few of them will actually raise any funds to replace them in our squad. They get the wages off the wage bill, but that's about it.
I expect the club to try and have a purge this summer, take advantage of not being in Europe and having less games to cut the squad down and have a smaller squad with more reliance on the academy for squad depth. A year with lower expenditure on wages will help out PSR. Then if we get back into Europe next season then we can look to fill out the squad a bit more next summer to cope with the increase in games.
I see 12 to 15 players leaving in total across the first team squad (one of Onana/ Bayindir, Evans, Malacia, Lindelof, Eriksen, Gore, one of Collyer/ Casemiro, Rashford, Antony, Sancho, Garnacho, Wheatley, and possibly Højlund) . Possibly seeing both Bayindir and Onana and both Casemiro and Collyer leave if we get acceptable offered for all of them. I'd imagine Collyer and Bayindir are more likely to leave than Onana and Casemiro as we stand to make more money from them and they are easier to shift.
Then we will likely sign 5 players to go into the first team (GK, CM, AM, Cunha, ST) . With maybe 2-3 youngsters to initially go into the academy like we did with Obi and Kone.
Which means twice as many leave our first team as join making our squad smaller by 6 or 7 players.
10 Dec 2024 13:34:35
Lots of rumours and articles being written that Marcus Rashford could be on his way out.
All the talent in the world, that lad. I think the time is right for both the club and him to break. Could be exactly what's needed for both parties.
1.) 10 Dec 2024 14:05:14
Absolutely, he needs a fresh start and a move abroad away from British Media would do him a world of good imo. Need to move him on also for the sake of the team as he has become a bit of a problem when it comes to selection because, imo of who he is, local boy through the academy. Sad it has come to this but don't see what either party is getting out of him staying (from a footballing point of view, he may argue £300k P/ W is worth sticking around for! )
2.) 10 Dec 2024 14:05:55
If United can clear their £60m future commitment to wages and actually get a decent transfer fee as well, which will be all profit, then it would probably be a good thing for all involved. Rashford may well be very effective somewhere else but it looks like the EPL is no longer a place where his skillset outweighs his limitations.
3.) 10 Dec 2024 14:27:57
Never fulfilled his talent and quite honestly his head is up his a***. If we can find a buyer then great, it’s not like he’s a massive contributor on the pitch and saving his wages and setting a precedent is well worth it. No point being ruthless unless we apply it to the biggest culprits…the players.
4.) 10 Dec 2024 15:32:31
He is elite at some aspects of the game, but doesn't seem to want to put the effort into improving his all-round game. I assume it's desire as most of those aspects such as pressing, movement off the ball, hold up play, are all those that players generally improve on over time. As such it is too easy for him to be nullified if the game isn't working to his advantage. Definitely time to move on. The issue will be getting a club willing to pay his wages.
5.) 10 Dec 2024 16:31:35
The Telegraph writes that the club are "open" to a sale. I assure you they will be open to the right offer on pretty much all of the current squad. It's just a question of price. But in any event, being open to a sale - something that's glaringly obvious in the case of Rashford - is quite different from having offers on the table. I'd love to see it but, frankly, getting rid of him maybe even more difficult than getting rid of Sancho, or indeed, Martial. Another absolutely disastrous error of judgement committed prior to SJR. Let's commit £75m over the next 5 years to protect a wasting asset.
Part of the process of great managership is to know when to sell. Clough and Taylor were masters of the craft. Sell at the crest of the wave and buy the next thing cheaply. Liverpool did extremely well with Coutinho and Suarez. Ferguson sold RVN and Beckham. He also sold Ronaldo, of course, but at that time the money went to debt repayment and was not reinvested.
No player should be allowed to get too big for the club. If you're so scared of losing a player that you're prepared to overpay up the wazoo to renew a contract then your team is already well on the way to decline. Moyes was desperate to keep Rooney, De Gea became the best paid goalie in the EPL to the tune of £100k per week: Rashford is but the latest example. It's another extremely dysfunctional aspect of the club that needs to be fixed.
I can't guarantee SJR will be successful but were the value of United not buoyed by our global recognition, making it more valuable by far as an asset that the income it now generates, I could have seen the Glazers driving the club into bankruptcy. That's how bad it had become.
6.) 10 Dec 2024 18:20:46
Shawthing, I never usually post but feel obliged to with your ludicrous statement that Glazers could have bankrupted the club your supposed to be a figures man so how can you substantiate that remark! Total made up waffle more like a child’s statement.
7.) 10 Dec 2024 20:37:55
I can’t see a permanent move but a loan abroad could do him a world of good.
Don’t see much coming in in terms of a ready-made replacement and we might not need one right off. But LWB is a priority, maybe Dorgu. Nypan in mid.
8.) 10 Dec 2024 21:41:20
Germansupp: I qualified my remark, by saying that the club's global recognition makes it more valuable than its profitability warrants. Without that, the £1bn in debt, would quite possibly not be supportable. They could not easily increase it, and without more money, could not get back into the game. The Glazers gave up 27% of the equity not because they wanted to but because they had to. Under their leadership it was headed down the toilet. What would two or three more bad seasons and a trip to the Championship have resulted in? Any other business with revenues of £650m, potentially declining, no profits, and £1bn in debt would have a hard time staying on its feet.
9.) 11 Dec 2024 04:08:48
Sorry that’s opinion not factual…. They sold 27% because what fool would not, if another fool comes in wants to give you shed load of money more than you originally purchased for and still only by minority then take over the running, if it works they end up with even more money, if it don’t they still own controlling interest and had there money back, you seem to think the Glazers are fools and someone posting on a forum is more qualified then them and there multi advisors who play in billionaire circles daily…. Your trying to spout big words and untruths to sound like your more qualified than them, which is just nonsense.
BTW the minority owner is making a pigs ear of it anyway!
I don’t like Glazers or SJR BUT running the business into the ground is poppycock and you know it… football is not like any other business and you with your spreadsheets and zero activity in it won’t wash.
10.) 11 Dec 2024 11:46:00
Imo you’re wrong angel. I don’t think he does have the talent. If he did he’d make a lot better decisions on the ball. He constantly makes the wrong call when the balls at his feet, or approaching him.
He was fortunate to have a very short period where he was on fire but i don’t think that's all the talent in the world.
11.) 11 Dec 2024 12:54:30
Clearly something has been leaked to the press to try and drum up some interest. The way this clubs operates is beyond a joke.
12.) 11 Dec 2024 13:35:09
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.
13.) 11 Dec 2024 13:52:58
German. again, you're twisting what I said to make your own point, which I've acknowledged already. The Glazers maybe absolutely clueless about running an actual football club, but financial mugs? No. For all the reasons you mentioned, quite brilliant. The partial sale was a masterpiece. It presumably assuaged the family members who were pushing for a total sale and were upset about their dividends being eliminated. They are fully aware, particularly from being NFL owners, of the elevated value of sports franchises, even though in the closed shop salary-capped US franchise system, there is no chance of relegation, revenues are largely guaranteed, and profitability is secured. They backed the European Super League because they wanted to turn soccer into the same gravy boat. Thank God they did not succeed otherwise we could be at the dawn of 3 1/ 2 games with 12 minutes of action and endless advertisements.
P. S. I'm not claiming to be a financial expert. Nor do I analyze anything on spreadsheets.
14.) 11 Dec 2024 14:35:47
Exactly Shawthing and I also hear that the food served in the canteen is not up to scratch so let's hope SJR gets his chef's hat on too.
15.) 11 Dec 2024 14:41:21
Ajh, i think Rashford is best when he doesn’t have to think too much. Mid level finisher but that is his strongest point.
He’s not that talented i'm sorry to say. But i respect your view and we can both disagree.
16.) 11 Dec 2024 15:05:24
Okay gnev, you're opinion, I don't agree with it.
Talent doesn't always equal end product, lots of factors in between.
I think he has all the talent and according to those within the game he is an incredible talent. I think he has lost his way a bit and a reset could be good for him. A good guy.
17.) 11 Dec 2024 22:22:54
Rashford is a player who had huge potential, and on his day is still a class player. However, the constant chopping and changing of managers and playing style, along with him playing through injuries has meant he hasn't managed to fulfil that potential.
Recently his attitude has come under question, and he certainly seems less motivated on the pitch. Maybe that's a result of living with pain and playing through the injuries. It could be that he's just got to a point where he's decided the extra work isn't worth the pain anymore.
Maybe it's the wages and life style has gone to his head.
Maybe he's decided his efforts and the sacrifices he has made for the club aren't appreciated by either the club or the fans so what's the point.
Ultimately we don't know and we probably never will.
What we do know is the we have a player on huge wages who isn't putting in performances to warrant them.
We know he was a supremely gifted youngster who has been an almost ever present in the first team since the age of 17 (it's almost 10 years since his debut) . We know he is a player who previously showed great work rate and effort, turning up early for training and staying late. We know he has shown himself to be a humble man who has campaigned for those less fortunate than himself, not for personal glory, but from a position of having suffered like them and wanting to make a difference to those young people.
Yet something has changed, altered, broken. He isn't that player anymore and he doesn't appear to be that man either.
There's no point in getting into the blame game, or demonising anyone. I'm sure that there is plenty of people who can share some of the blame, be that managers, people at the club, fans and the player himself.
Either way it's probably time for a parting of the ways. It's definitely in the players best interests, and long term it's probably in the clubs as well.
We have to appreciate and understand that if/ when he leaves, we will be losing our more recognised and proven forward. No one at the club currently has played better than Marcus for a sustained period of 6 months or more EVER in their United career. That weakens us both on the pitch AND in the minds of our opposition.
While there are absolutely no guarantees that we either will be able to sign a replacement or that any replacement will be even at the same level as Rashford let alone an upgrade.
We could easily sell Rashford and sign Antony 2.0.
However, the writing appears to be on the wall. Rumours suggest that we expect or are willing to accept offers of around 40m. Which seems about right to me. Signing a 27 year old on a low ebb but on massive wages. I don't see anyone being prepared to pay much more than 40m all things considered.
18.) 12 Dec 2024 09:10:20
Rashford is not an elite level player, he had potential and bags of it, at 27 we can safely say he isn’t capable of reaching it at the club. For his career and the good of the club, he needs to leave. Running doesn’t take talent it just requires desire, there’s 74,310 people in that stadium that would run themselves into the ground given the opportunity, unfortunately it looks like Rashford has lost that desire.
19.) 12 Dec 2024 10:34:09
Rash out, Mitoma in in summer :D.
20.) 12 Dec 2024 15:10:48
Send him to M and S.
21.) 12 Dec 2024 18:32:28
Lets not forget Rashford only got his chance because of an injury crisis.
Otherwise, I don't think we'd be having this debate beacuse Rashford would have sold to Fulham at the age of 18.
19 Oct 2022 10:12:56
I see Gakpo has put out the come get me signal. Looks a decent player, don't know too much about him.
Can anyone enlighten me?
1.) 19 Oct 2022 10:26:53
From what I’ve seen, always seems busy and eager to attack though final ball and decision making needs some refinement.
However, seems to be scoring and creating chances so might be a surprise hit at the World Cup.
Another player who prefers the left tho….
2.) 19 Oct 2022 10:29:13
Has had a very exciting 8 months. Was an alternative to Anthony I believe but could become a target once more should one of our existing wingers leave.
3.) 19 Oct 2022 10:38:39
We need a proper centre forward that score 20+ goals a season not another left sided player that drifts in from the left.
4.) 19 Oct 2022 10:48:05
Unless it's a Lukaku style video, I don't believe a word I read in the tabloids - what's the source of this?

angelred's banter posts with other poster's replies to angelred's banter posts
29 Jan 2026 10:08:54
We were told that this team was not equipped for the champions league but looking at how Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea have done, was that another load of waffle sold to us?
I think we would've gotten on very well in it. What's everyone think? Could we have competed in it this year?
1.) 29 Jan 2026 10:45:42
No. Our squad is poor. We have a core group of 7 or 8 really good players, but the standard drops off massively after that. All of those teams have better support players than we do. If we'd played CL we'd likely have lost a couple of those core players to injury.
2.) 29 Jan 2026 11:12:24
I think we'd have done ok considering we have beaten 4 of the top 8 this season!
3.) 29 Jan 2026 11:41:59
I'm in agreeance ports.
Donred, I disagree. I believed it at the time, but a lot of fans swallowed and took it as gospel what they were told.
Looking at it now. I think we would have been absolutely fine.
4.) 29 Jan 2026 12:09:51
I agree with Don. Mr 32%, your view is an absolute contradiction to how bad you have considered us this and last season. Our squad is weak, too weak to play in a major competition alongside the EPL. We couldn't even compete in the FA and League Cup competitions, so how could we have possibly been good in the Champions League? Beggars belief.
5.) 29 Jan 2026 12:11:10
angel we were really struggling a lot without the AFCON players. Without that core group our squad is what ETH had but actually even worse. That squad was trending terribly for a significant period of time. Honestly I think Ports is correct only because we've had so few injuries this year.
I don't think we could cope with even 2 or 3 of those missing for considerable periods of time. I'm actually concerned if we get one or two injuries in key positions between now and the end of the season.
6.) 29 Jan 2026 12:59:55
DonRed, we have just lost Dorgu for an estimated 10 weeks, and he was really coming on strong for us. I think we will miss him big time.
7.) 29 Jan 2026 15:26:06
Angelred everyone knows your agenda. Amorim said this last season when we did not have Cunha, Mbeumo, Lammens etc. Remember a couple of seasons ago when that squad was in the Champions League. Do you need me to list out the results? He is gone now and you were one of the "I told you so" folks who wanted the other lot to move on.
So perhaps you can stop with your agenda as well. We did beat Liverpool and Chelsea earlier in the season and beat a few last season as well. So its not like we weren't beating the big teams. Its the chasing pack and relegation battlers that will truly tell us where we are. let's hope we go on a run now given that 32% win rate isn't here anymore.
8.) 29 Jan 2026 15:31:21
Agreed Fizz, though with Bruno further up we have more options in attack now. Maybe Amad will go left. Such a pity as he was absolutely flying. And he does appear so much better with the reduced defensive responsibility.
9.) 29 Jan 2026 16:28:23
Our squad is poor. We have a decent not top class starting 11.
We are barely coping with a 40 game season.
Nothing like a bit of knee jerk here and now tripe. Sing when your winning stuff.
The squad depth is very poor Imo.
But if we keep our best 11 or close to it fit I think Carrick can keep us in the cl places and at worst a el place.
If we had a 60 game seadon with our squad we would be on our knees right now.
Remind me how eth got on in Europe when trying to play in all comps.
10.) 29 Jan 2026 16:41:02
Who told you that? Not the club for sure. They really could have done with the additional revenues an ECL berth would have provided. Maybe they then would have been able to afford a top DM last summer. That dire performance in the Europa final cost us big. Let's face it though, every game under Amorim was an ordeal, particularly agains the weaker teams.
So I think with the injuries, AFCON and the dubious coaching and system, it would have been a struggle and we may well not have qualified for the later rounds. but even that would have been better than no midweek football.
11.) 29 Jan 2026 17:58:26
Our best 11 on their best day and with a gale force wind behind them could beat any team in its day
So yes we could win against any team in the cl and would probably have been in the top 16 maybe not the 8 but I think we could have got it if the league phase.
But I don't think we would be 4th in the league at the same time.
Something would have to give imo. The top 8 players are never going to play 50 to 60 games each.
Lammens and bruno possibly due to brunos unbelievable engine and fitness/availability.
Shaw maguire deligt martinez casimero amad mbeumo cunha maz have never done it and then you have freak injuries like dorgou's.
Ww know what happens when you have to play 2 teenage cbs ugarte zirkzee etc
So we could compete in cl with our squad with a fair wrong behind us and luck but not strong enough to do both cl and epl and compete to win either.
That's just my opinion and I suppose you only have to look at eth's european record in the season we started in the cl his win% was 16.6%. With a loss % of 65% we have less players in the squad now. Our league form suffered really badly too.
The squad is not strong enough for both.
Spurs squad is not strong enough for both.
Arsenal's is
Liverpool 50/50 lots of injuries at the moment.
City as per Liverpool
Chelsea have enough bodies and look to be improving slightly. They could cope if all are fit imo.
12.) 29 Jan 2026 18:25:31
I would add Newcastle are struggling in the epl amd came 11th in the league phase of cl.
13.) 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.
14.) 29 Jan 2026 18:46:28
I think we are woefully short in center midfield. The most demanding area of the pitch. Casemiro is a 1 game a week 70 min a game player now. If we can a clone of him then maybe.
When we rested him for the cup games we lost. Pretty crazy for everyone to think we would do well when we struggled in the two midweek cup games.
15.) 29 Jan 2026 19:02:37
This not engaging fizz? Good job ?
Everyone, just an opinion, I think we would have been fine given what how we have seen other squads perform in both competitions.
UA, no agenda at all - just astounded how a lot of us were taken, hook, line and sinker by a manager that said we weren't good enough, how we were the worst united team in history, how players like Mainoo couldn't handle it. The stats backed it up. Or just look at how we have performed in the last 2 games.
I don't mind reminding those on here, the ones that were quick to throw names at the Amorim sceptics, how we didn't have a clue etc. that maybe it's those name callers that didn't have a clue at all.
I think we would have performed fine in the champions league, not saying we would have won it, but we definitely have a squad capable of competing in it along with the Premier League.
16.) 29 Jan 2026 19:03:37
UA - absolutely agree, 32% was shocking and I think we can go on a run now that that is gone. incredible that it was accepted.
17.) 29 Jan 2026 19:23:30
Salford, i'm all for being positive. i'm all for talking us up and riding the wave.
I generally don't like this sorry of hypothetical because its futile.
All we can do is win our next game.
We are not anywhere near strong enough as a squad to cope with playing twice a week and to win games.
We caught city and arsenal in their worst runs of the season right in middle of epl league cup semi and cl games.
Not diminishing our performance at all which were great.
We've done great and just need to continue to stay in those European places and playing one a week that huge advantage is kicking in let's hope Carrick can keep it going and take full advantage.
18.) 29 Jan 2026 22:39:42
Angel can you just stop with this. You obviously are getting some sort of kick out of it, but it's getting incredibly annoying how you are rewriting history to serve whatever agenda you have.
19.) 29 Jan 2026 23:27:57
Donred, no.
I can have my opinion things and speak about them how I want. Like I said, there was plenty of names thrown out to people like me who questioned Ruben Amorim being manager of this club.
Feel free not to engage if you don't want to.
20.) 29 Jan 2026 23:35:41
I reckon Mbeumo and Cunha get in pretty much any 'better' team mentioned here. Arsenal would love the former right now and I think he'd have been a perfect natural replacement for Salah. Only City have real strength in depth IMO. They all have far superior youth prospects.
19 Jan 2026 11:22:51
So how's everyone feeling for the Arsenal game and what do we realistically believe they can do?
I think, it's going to be a great game and our tails will be up. I think we can nick this one. I'm saying 2-1.
1.) 19 Jan 2026 11:44:33
Caught up in the emotion of the City game, new manager bounce and Carrick has solved all our issues I am going for a 3-0 win.
In all seriousness, I expect that we go for a similar approach especially being away at the Emirates. Other than maybe Mazraoui as replacememt for Dalot if he is back and ready to play.
With Cunha/Sesko/Mount we have a threat from the bench to keep momentum up as the game tires.
Likely will be a close one and if we can be clinical then a draw or tight win is very possible. Just hope we maintain the intensity.
2.) 19 Jan 2026 12:08:20
I think the Gooners are streets ahead of us, we struggle there consistently, and it’s a step too far.
If we can nick a draw I’ll be euphoric.
3.) 19 Jan 2026 12:43:45
I doubt we will dismantle arsenal's defence like city's but I'm confident of a really good match.
Think if we take our chances we will win we've been guilt of missing too many good ones this year.
4.) 19 Jan 2026 13:21:00
City didn't have 1 of their preferred back 4 available.
Arsenal are a better team than city i don't expext it to be as easy as the city game was always going to be.
I still browns we can win.
Arsenal have been struggling to score goals from pen play and they have a game midweek.
Hopeful of a win. Carrick really needs to keep us in the european places we were in when amorim left. Perhaps move us up 1 place to a cl. That's what we are all hoping for. Fingers crossed.
5.) 19 Jan 2026 13:30:22
If we could get a draw there, that will be fantastic, anything else a huge bonus it’s another free pass for Carrick
Dalot will be in front of Maz that’s for sure
It’s the following games we have to win.
6.) 19 Jan 2026 13:44:03
Well we were only 2 points above 9th place when Amorim was sacked, so we were on the edge of being outside of European qualification. Results leading up to his sacking, specifically our inability to beat the bottom teams in a run was very poor and had us very close to that.
Carrick has a free shot this week v Arsenal but then he has a run of fixtures where we could really pick up some points, points we had failed to pick up in the last couple of months when we had a similar run of fixtures against the bottom teams
Let's see where we are in 6 games. I'm optimistic that we can get into the Top 4.
7.) 19 Jan 2026 15:14:39
More chance now of getting in the top 4 then there ever was under RA…that’s nothing to do with Carrick we would have had more chance with any competent manager/coach rather than the very naive out of his depth RA.
8.) 19 Jan 2026 15:28:39
I'd be delighted if we take anything against them.
Even though I think Cunha adds a lot to the team I imagine a similar line-up with Dorgu keeping his spot to help nullify the Saka threat, assuming he plays. For me Doku and Semenyo are far better wingers but out of sorts.
9.) 19 Jan 2026 16:13:34
Cunha is a good player not a great one, he needs to develop from that hold the ball too long and roll around on the floor wolves player to a proper player he lacks pace but does have ability he just needs a new mind set….
He not shown he developed that yet at all
Holding the ball too long just slows the game.
Sesko is just a poor striker, far too early for him as it was Rasmus, they nowhere near ready, so Carrick goes with same team against Arsenal.
10.) 19 Jan 2026 16:34:21
We have a chance if we play compact and deep and play fast on the break. Could be any result, tight or large score in either direction. Can arsenal thread the needle or score from set pieces? Can we take our chances when they come along?
11.) 19 Jan 2026 17:30:46
I'll get behind the boys irrespective of ownership and all that jazz.
I'm going 4-0 UTD. Arsenal, whilst hard to unlock, I think they are starting to falter from being at the top. Time to go for the title as I predicted earlier in the season. 16 wins from 16 games from here is not impossible.
Dream lads dream!
12.) 19 Jan 2026 17:55:23
DB, I don't think there will be many ops, never is against this arsenal team. But I think confidence will be sky high and they'll get a couple and I think they'll put them away!
Jimbo, big shout that ?
Je suis, Sesko is far from a poor striker. Jury is very much out on him, but far and away from being a poor striker. I have much more hope no, there's a good team here with some strong individual players, Cunha being one of them. With more confidence, runners off of him and aggression, this team could suprise a few on here.
13.) 19 Jan 2026 17:58:40
There are dreams and then there is pure insanity
Those sort of dreams can get you put in a padded cell.
14.) 19 Jan 2026 18:52:57
To be realistic if Arsenal play to their potential then they will run out easy winners. They have a very strong defence decent midfield and good attacking options. Apart from last week we concede nearly every game.
On the optimistic side if we can get the first goal and then not allow them to push us back they will get very very nervy. Their supporters often transmit their tension to the players when they can't seem to score.
All in all it depends which Utd turns up. And there is the problem consistency.
15.) 19 Jan 2026 19:07:28
Arsenal have nerves, they show openly at times. If the game is close then we can use the nerves to our advantage. Nothing is impossible but I think we can get a draw.
16.) 19 Jan 2026 20:57:33
Momentum breeds confidence. We aren't looking over our shoulder. Top 4 should be a formality from here. 16 cup finals. 16 must wins.
All opponents are beatable, we just need to show up, home and away.
World cup year, those vying for a spot in their respective nations squad have 16 more auditions (probably less) to force their national managers hand.
17.) 19 Jan 2026 21:55:16
Arsenal are sadly an excellent team. They very rarely lose.
They will be far better than city. Wont leave acres of space at the back and will likely have 65%+ possession.
It will take a lot of luck and hard work to get away with anything.
But you never know. There’s always hope.
18.) 20 Jan 2026 12:47:53
All comes down to whether they over commit or not. If they get ahead, they control the game I think. If they need a goal they could over commit.
They will do a better job than city did getting in between the lines, so it will not be as easy I am sure.
17 Jan 2026 09:41:21
Best of luck to Carrick today, really pulling for him to do well.
But if I see Ugarte start, I'll cry ?.
1.) 17 Jan 2026 11:25:27
No tears today, false 9 day it looks like.
2.) 17 Jan 2026 11:54:49
No Ugarte, Cunha or Sesko.
3.) 17 Jan 2026 12:01:59
Yes grim, sit in and counter I'd imagine. Cunha and Sesko to change it up then if needed.
4.) 17 Jan 2026 12:14:03
Next of luck to Carrick. He'll need it. If he can get best out of this squad we will stay in european place.

Good podcast again by The Athletics 'Talk of the Devils'.
Interesting from Andy Mitten on the players view on Amorims departure, Mitten of course a journalist well known for his close ties to past and present United players.
1.) 12 Jan 2026 21:45:50
Good lord man. "The players were annoyed after the Wolves game. " Is that the white hot evidence of dressing room turmoil you're looking for? Even the confirmation bias you've sought out is weak. In the last two games you've gone on about how much better we seem. Smh.
2.) 12 Jan 2026 22:09:29
If you have posted that no doubt it will say they all wanted rid. Amorim has gone, the club is a shambolic mess and the players look shell shocked. I asked Grok, “the outpouring of thanks post sacking suggests he was more liked personally than his results might suggest” . I posted Amads comment the other day.
I continue to see posts by people who have no idea what change management is about, what Amorim had to do to turn this mess around. Little hint, you can’t please all the people all the time.

The athletic are a joke. Everytime the board make a dumb decision they are there to spin the truth into oblivion. Literally every time they come out with crap article that is the opposite of the truth. I can't believe they are still a thing.

The Athletic has some good journalists and some mixed ones. Ornstein really knows his stuff. But since they were acquired by NYT they've dropped a lot of the standards that made them popular. That podcast is a good example. Really short on insider information, and lacking in any analysis of tactics etc. Basically just more of the same we get anywhere else.

Look at their readership amd listenership tells you all you need to know.
I mean who could take any notice of anything they publish?

What's Amorim doing with the academy players on loan ?.
1.) 15 Dec 2025 17:47:11
It was all a bit bizarre. He dissed Amass who won player of the month and also Collyer, who is injured but was apparently doing well. I really don't know what to make of it.

Very peculiar stuff alright. I'm not sure how I feel about it. But sometimes I think it's best of he just keeps it closed on certain subjects, particularly one so close to Man United fans, the academy, that's what we were built upon.

I think we stick to our guns and only buy players that fit the long term plan.

I agree Ajh. Ugarte has been a shocking signing. Did he come in, instead of McT?
05 Jan 2026 13:27:56
He wasn't at Liverpool was he ed?
{Ed001's Note - no, I think you are right, he was the one Rafa wanted but turned the job down and then took the ones from Liverpool that Rafa did bring in to rebuild the academy. My god I am getting old! Things are getting mixed up in my mind to a frightening degree these days. Was it Borrell and Segura? It is Begiristain who works with Pep though, but very much a partnership as Pep pretty much has full control.}

End of season I agreed red man, he will be no.1 choice. Poch maybe a close second.
If they move now, Glasner.
My choice, would be Emery.
05 Jan 2026 12:49:35
Michael Carrick maybe, or someone connected to the club, with some sort of history.

Donred, no.
I can have my opinion things and speak about them how I want. Like I said, there was plenty of names thrown out to people like me who questioned Ruben Amorim being manager of this club.
Feel free not to engage if you don't want to.

UA - absolutely agree, 32% was shocking and I think we can go on a run now that that is gone. incredible that it was accepted.
29 Jan 2026 19:02:37
This not engaging fizz? Good job ?
Everyone, just an opinion, I think we would have been fine given what how we have seen other squads perform in both competitions.
UA, no agenda at all - just astounded how a lot of us were taken, hook, line and sinker by a manager that said we weren't good enough, how we were the worst united team in history, how players like Mainoo couldn't handle it. The stats backed it up. Or just look at how we have performed in the last 2 games.
I don't mind reminding those on here, the ones that were quick to throw names at the Amorim sceptics, how we didn't have a clue etc. that maybe it's those name callers that didn't have a clue at all.
I think we would have performed fine in the champions league, not saying we would have won it, but we definitely have a squad capable of competing in it along with the Premier League.

I'm in agreeance ports.
Donred, I disagree. I believed it at the time, but a lot of fans swallowed and took it as gospel what they were told.
Looking at it now. I think we would have been absolutely fine.

Not a fan then ed of two young lads?
I thought heaven has looked good but Amorims set up didn't favour either of them. Exposed them if anything. But they're very young in a poor performing united team.
{Ed025's Note - they are young so i wont write them off just yet Angel, but what i have seen of them they will have to improve greatly if they are to be considered good enough for a top team mate..
