I think we played some Youth in the Cup game against them and if I remember correctly, Rashford scored a World class Free kick and they had Man United Penalty luck

They outdid us tactically at Old Trafford because they sat off us, we didnt take chances and we were incredibly vulnerable on transitions (arguably still are), like against most top teams this season. Not so sure about the second game but probably similar, we didnt take chances and then they hit us on counters.

Idk, it's getting to the point where it's hard to judge a United player properly in that set up unless they're ludicrously bad ala Alexis.

There's something wrong with the culture there that's holding players back. 

Much as I despise bullying and threats, the Ferguson way did get results -not just from young players but from officials, up to the top of the FA. All gone now

Plus we weren't that great. Went to that game and you could tell how it was going to go. All that ball and ball and no end product.

The 4-0... that was some interesting defending which we still like to do

We didn't play well in the League Cup meeting but we didn't concede much either. They won because they scored a penalty and a worldie from a free kick. That was it.

Just want United to stick with Ole as long as possible. Long enough that they let us finish in the top 4. Don't want them to appoint an actual competent manager like Poch.

Would Pochettino even want the United job at this point? Their squad is a huge mess and their board are even worse! Yes, United have the name and money but if Pochettino goes there, it'll be another rebuilding job for him, arguably even bigger than the one he oversaw at Spurs. He might just prefer to go to a club where the structure is already there and it allows him to win from the get-go.

Think he'd probably fancy the rebuild. They've got the building blocks for a good side with players like DDG, Maguire, AWB, McTom-whatever, Rashford, etc. They're finally starting to get rid of all the shite they've had on their books.

Bring Poch in this summer, give him £250m to spend, and suddenly they could be back in business. He could look like a hero restoring them to glory. I think they're "only" a top class #9 and a couple of midfielders away.

De Gea seems to be on a decline. Maguire is overrated. McTominay is average. And players like Pogba doesn't seem to want to be at the club, Martial blows hot and cold, James is so-so. They have A LOT of deadwoods in their squad - Shaw, Jones, Young, Fred, Matic, Pereira, Mata, Lingard etc. United almost have to buy an entire new squad to get back to challenging at the top. 

United have thrown a lot of money in recent years and it's gotten them nowhere, not when people like Ed Woodward is running the club basically. Pochettino would be better off biding his time and wait for opportunities elsewhere. The Bayern job still not filled permanently, Tuchel and Guardiola could leave PSG and Man City respectively in the summer, Zidane is always a few bad results away from facing the sack at Real Madrid etc.

So Spurs will be without him for basically the remainder of the season and United will be without their best two players (Pogba & Maguire) for a long while too. Arsenal are Arsenal.

Absolutely zero excuses not to finish top 4 for us now.

ABOVE IT 

Jesse Lingard might think he’s ‘too big for Leicester’ amid rumours of Manchester United swap deal for James Maddison – Danny Murphy

https://talksport.com/football/652662/jesse-lingard-leicester-man-utd-james-maddison-danny-murphy/

Danny Murphy does not think swapping Jesse Lingard plus cash for James Maddison would work, because the Manchester United midfielder might consider himself ‘too big’ for Leicester.

The Red Devils have reportedly offered out-of-form Lingard plus £45million to sign Maddison this month, according to the Mirror.

However, Murphy suggests Lingard probably sees himself at a ‘bigger club’, despite scoring just one goal in the past 12 months.

lololol

hell yes, and he is trouble in the dressing room

super ego

Manure is poison

only players they have who remotely interest me are Rashford (who is not poison at all, I think he is the only senior player on the team who gives max effort every game) and maybe Martial (too expensive for him though, I would wager and we fumbled about with him before, so do not want to go through that shite again)

Manure will never sell Rashford anyway, so it is all academic

oh

yes, two youngsters they have 

Mason Greenwood (he looks a baller, he would flourish under Lamps)

and the on-loan Dean Henderson, who is one of the few English keepers I rate

AW-B is so limited offensively, but is a beast defensively so maybe toss him in there too

they have a truly insane amount of dregs

their MF is a goddamn mess

just kills me that we keep losing to them!!!!!!:(

OGS is utterly clueless

Not only Leicester. Teams in relagation zone like Bournemouth and Watford have better wingers. 

Btw Bournemouth only win in the last 10 PL games was... :wank2:

I would love to see Bournemouth and Burnley go down and never return

From winning Champions League with guys like Nesta, Maldini, Kaka to Fabian fucking Delph questioning your tactics :rolleyes:

Fabian Delph shouts ‘everyone is shit’ to his teammates and later scores an own goal
