He didn’t?
He's never happy baZ
Oh I know. I was just surprised by the fact that he seems to think a low scoring draw is the worst outcome in a football match, as if being beaten heavily is somehow a greater achievement.

Oh yeah, but he only changed it at half time, he admitted that.
Yeh see your point

Oh shock I'm not happy at scraping a 1-1 draw against a team 3rd bottom of the league
Are you happy? Have your standards dropped so low?

Man U aren't very good though? You really shouldn't be comparing yourselves to the 2 best teams in the country (and Leicester).Oh shock I'm not happy at scraping a 1-1 draw against a team 3rd bottom of the league

I'd be more concerned that ragnick seemingly doesn't have the balls to drop certain players that are underperforming and the style of play hasn't changed since he's been there.

We should be though because our squad is of equal talent and depth to all teams bar City. It is down to the coaching staff and manager to fix that problem.
I am pretty sure yesterdays performance was due to having 16 days off during Christmas and the players have taken liberties. Then again that is down to management.
Is it though? Who from your 1st team gets into Liverpool or Man City's?

Ronaldo's an absolute cancer on that team, his body language and work rate are horrific examples to his teammates and they look less of a team now than they were before he signed for them.
Cavani might not get the goals but he links up their attacks, makes intelligent runs and binds that team together.
Long may Ronaldo keep his starting place.

16 days of rest?
Next you'll be telling me we when we have lots of games close together we play badly because we are tired!?
Rest and lots of coaching with the new staff is just what we needed.
Buffon's comments on him are pretty telling, changing everything about your club to get the 'best' out of Ronaldo in a league as slow as Serie A might produce occasional results but in a league as fast as the PL, bloody madness. Don't think it's a coincidence their best player last season has fallen off a cliff since he arrived. Best signing of the season for me
Just wait till the refs grow a pair and send the little petulant child off. Three red cards he's avoided this season.
Nah the players have to take some responsibility. For eg Foden and Grealish deciding to go on a night out isnt Peps fault...he's benched them for being idiots but you cant blame Pep / Rangnick for what others do outside of the training ground.

Rashford
Greenwood
Luke Shaw
Jadon Sancho
Bruno Fernandes
Paul Pogba
De Gea
Easily. You need to stop looking at the way the team is being managed and our current form but what the players are actually capable of. Bruno's stats have been unreal over the past couple of seasons. Rashford has had more goals than Mane over the past 3 seasons. Luke Shaw was player of the season and easily one of our best players in an England shirt over the summer. Jadon Sancho has had a poor start but he isn't being managed well. His stats when joining United are some of the best in Europe and Dortmund are hurting since he has left.
Yes things are not going well now but the players that we have are top quality.
The fact you automatically included pogba nullifies anything else in the post. Laughable.

There is an old story that Fergie once heard United players were having a big party when an important game was coming up. He went to the house and punched Lee Sharpe in the face and that was his time at United finished! Obviously managers are not like that anymore which is why the players are all a bunch of prima donnas now.
When you have decent leadership in the team that leads by example then probably things are better but after Harry Maguires escapades in Greece and Greenwoods it doesn't fill me with confidence that the players can be left to their own devices and trusted.

Why? Again you are looking at it completely wrong. Pogba is a world talent and to say otherwise is silly. Whether he is being managed correctly or played in the correct formation is another story. Only Trent and Salah have more assists than him this season and he has only played 9 league games.

We didn't have that though because Carrington was closed due to covid.

Imagine thinking 7 players from a distinctly average team would get in to the first team of the past two title winning teams 
None of those players are getting in the Liverpool first team, De Gea and Greenwood would make our matchday squad and that's it.
Also, there's a massive difference between having world class talent and showing it week in week out and Pogba's shown it a handful of time during his entire Man United career. No top team's touching a player as inconsistent and lazy as him with a barge pole. You've got to be on crack to think otherwise.
As for Rashford, which dinner lady is he replacing?

At the moment i dont even think i’d drop anyone in Arsenal for the lot that played last night, seriously.
Maybe the version of Ronaldo that can be arsed and plays for the team, that’s about it.
