Consigliere
The DVB thing baffles me...surely they knew the player they were getting, had scouts watching him...or maybe they just heard he was available, grabbed him right away then shrugged their shoulders after?
I mean where is everyone going to play. Sancho will never catch a break and end up Donny MK2.
Yes but the problem here lies in Pogba needs to be on the left to be effective. Martial's best off the left and Ronaldo can play there too .
We are like a body builder with arms the size of mountains but have legs made of twiglets. We are such an unbalanced team.
And I would put greenwood ahead off all of them,
Nothing personal on Sancho but I don't think we needed him. I am now concerned for him.
We really should have spent the money on central / defensive midfielder.
Nice video showing Fred's qualities
And that was just one game too for our £47mil Brazilian gem. I daren’t watch the analysis of any others!Nice video showing Fred's qualities
Varane out for 'a few weeks'
Really tough 2 months of fixtures coming up...
However in theory we have Bailley, Lindelof and Jones Not exactly the same cover issue that Liverpool had when VVD, Gomez and Matip were all out for months. No excusesTerrible timing, unlucky especially with Maguire out.

I seem to recall that we had an industry issue before he took over and were one of the "laziest" teams in the league. As I recall it improved a bit for a while but the players appear to have relapsed and that has to be on the coaches. I agree he has reached his ceiling and largely because he has failed to appoint top quality coaches. He's been allowed to assemble as good a squad as anyone and has chosen(?) to squander a lot of money on positions he didn't need to strengthen at the expense of dealing with the weakness that has persisted at the club for a generation. This isn't a McFred issue. It's a coaching and formational issue. I don't see a top side playing with the formation we play or wasting talent like we have. It's been obvious for a long time that our players think they are better than they actually are and the management haven't got the nuts to make the big calls. That means ripping the likes of Bruno, Pogba, Greenwood, Shaw etc a new one when they don't work for the team.Interesting analysis from Carragher and Neville: the players don't work nearly hard enough for Ole, a good manager would find a way to make such a good squad work, it can be done. He's reached his ceiling as a manager and can't take us any further now. He can't just play McTominay and Fred and hope for the best as it doesn't work. Not that it wasn't obvious to almost everyone...
Neville understandably won't call for a change to be made, but you can tell he's given up on him.
One of the cases for Solskjaer's defence has been a similar points record to the much-celebrated Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool - and the two face each other in a potentially pivotal clash at Old Trafford next Sunday.
In his first 104 games at Liverpool. Klopp won 196 league points, while Solskjaer has claimed 194 in the same time at United. Victory on Saturday would have had him ahead of Klopp's record.
But the problem for Solskjaer is that the pace gets a lot faster from this point on. In Klopp's next 123 Premier League games, he won 283 points at an average of 2.30 per game, up from 1.88.
In other words, after an encouraging start, Klopp took Liverpool to the next level.
This United team shows no signs of being anywhere near as good as Klopp's Liverpool, who won the Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League in 2020.
I think if anything there will be a coaching shake up if things continue to get worse.
Ole will still be here until the summer at least.
Haven't a number of the coaching staff signed new contracts in the last few weeks?
