Pizy 18,996 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 United’s central midfield, defense, and keeper are weak still and if not addressed they’re going to get killed against all the big teams. But their attack with Mbeumo, Cunha, Bruno, and whichever new striker they buy will be annoying as hell to play against for anyone. Lots of pace, lots of legs, and players who can all shoot and score from distance. With 1 game a week for much of the season they could be sneaky decent.

This is the first time I've looked at United and thought they finally had some idea of team building and synergy in how they will want to play. They're going to be fast, dynamic and strong.

Pizy 18,996 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 If they line up with a midfield duo of Casemiro and Bruno they’re going to get turned over frequently by the better teams. But their attack should be good enough to win them plenty of games against the lesser sides they got embarrassed by time and again last season. They’re a club we definitely have to keep an eye on and we can’t write them off like I had hoped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s what did City time and time again last season, whilst their midfield and defence (and coach) are better than United’s by a considerable distance.

But if I were a Newcastle/Villa/Spuds fan who are eyeing up a potential 5th place UCL spot I’d be worried about them. MoroccanBlue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,312 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Bournemouth sign Djordje Petrovic from Chelsea on five-year contract https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6488728/2025/07/16/bournemouth-djordje-petrovic-Chelsea-transfer/ Bournemouth have confirmed the signing of Djordje Petrovic from Chelsea on a five-year contract. The Athletic reported on Friday that Petrovic, 25, had been granted permission to complete his medical with Bournemouth after the two clubs agreed a £25million deal. It completes the south-coast club’s search for a No 1 goalkeeper following the departure of Kepa Arrizabalaga, who spent the 2024-25 season on loan from Chelsea. Petrovic wanted assurance as a regular starter at Stamford Bridge, but Chelsea could not promise that with Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen featuring prominently during 2024-25. He was one of several out-of-favour players to return for preseason training at Cobham. “I’m really happy to be here,” Petrovic said in a club statement. “I came to Bournemouth because I want to grow and I want to play at the best level. “Together with this club, with these facilities, I think we can achieve it. I want to help the team get the results, improve every day and be a better player.” The Serbia international made 31 appearances for Strasbourg, Chelsea’s French sister club which is also owned by BlueCo, on loan last season, helping the team to a seventh-placed finish and was voted supporters’ player of the season. Petrovic made 31 appearances for Chelsea since signing for the Premier League club from MLS side New England Revolution in 2023. He was left out of Enzo Maresca’s Club World Cup squad which won the tournament after beating Paris Saint-Germain in the final on June 13. He played 86 times for Serbian side FK Cukaricki before moving to New England in 2022, and earned seven caps for Serbia after making his senior international debut in 2021. Petrovic’s arrival comes a day after Mark Travers’ departure to Everton was confirmed. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimmas 131 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 (edited) 15 hours ago, Thor said: We outplayed them both games. Bastards were lucky to get the first one. We probably outplayed them, but we were still poor in many areas, not just lacking clinical finishing, but also not as threatening as we were when we faced PSG a few days ago And when we go up against other big teams last season, we tend to play even worse. Hopefully, we can manage it better in the upcoming season Edited July 18 by dimmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t have that when you barely know your teammates. This win against Psg will help a lot. I think we will have both good and bad periods throughout the season, but really hope to get more points of city, arsenal and liverpool, as well as them 3 points at Old Trafford.
