well they have PSG target Marcus Rashford, one of the top money's no object clubs in the world and he's their number 1 target allegedly

They must want him to reform the school lunch policy around France.

Is that his height? Is he the smallest CB in the league? Surely must be, or at least very near it

Jarhead_Tendler · 13-08-2022 05:56PM

I think I saw him sitting on a booster seat in the dugout

Oranage2 · 13-08-2022 06:04PM

Not Manchester united's best hour of football

eigrod · 13-08-2022 06:08PM

Steve McClaren looks like he’s loving life. I’d say he’s just thrilled to be in that job.

Cannavora was 5 9 , one of my favourite centre backs, played with a few who were small but read the game well and took no prisoner in comparison to some taller lads. thinks Matinez is 5 10

martyos121 · 13-08-2022 06:09PM

Oh what I’d give for United to be next on Amazon’s All or Nothing series.

thebaz · 13-08-2022 06:12PM

Roy Keanes analysis will be good, if hes doing match

Agent Coulson · 13-08-2022 06:15PM

ten Hag has to take some responsibility two months waiting deJong when he would have strengthened that midfield with players who hadn't played the Ajax way.

Buying a 5ft5 CB for £57m to play in the preimer league

Not looking to buy a striker.

Letting Dean Henderson go out on loan.

Looking to buy Raboit and Arnautovic

These are all on him.

eigrod · 13-08-2022 06:16PM

McTominay os a piece of work. That’s 2 horrible challenges in a week now. He’s going to seriously injure someone soon.

Agent Coulson · 13-08-2022 06:21PM

Ronnie is still on the pitch has he even touched the ball in the second half

Edit I could say the same about Bruno.

Agent Coulson · 13-08-2022 06:26PM

The Brenford & Brighton managers would do a great job rebuilding Man U however they wouldn't even be given an interview.

Agent Coulson · 13-08-2022 06:31PM

The last time Man U lost the first two premier league games was the first season of the premier league and sure they went on to win it then follow the history.

theoneeyedman · 13-08-2022 06:32PM

Martinez if 5-9 (1.75m),so while I'm wont to defend anything United do there is no need to exaggerate.

It's hilarious though, 10 years this season without winning and getting further from winning it by the year. United looking to the past giving more influence behind the scenes to Fergie, Robson and McLaren apparently is going to see them languishing for another decade.

As a Liverpool fan in the 80s and 90s,I've seen this before, it's much more enjoyable this time for, but fvcking crazy stuff from United-so many bad decisions off the field in recent years, too many to list here really.

breezy1985 · 13-08-2022 07:04PM

On top of everything else that United kit is horrible.

Fitz* · 13-08-2022 07:23PM

Things really have gone drastically downhill for Man United ever since the players stopped eating apple crumble & custard with their dinner last year. "What's Cristiano eating?"

.G. · 13-08-2022 07:28PM

At least they can all learn from Cristiano's professionalism. Every cloud and that.

Agent Coulson · 13-08-2022 08:15PM

Gary Neville needs to take a look at his ownership of a football club and how badly he and the other members class of 92 are running clubs and the damage they are doing to the lower leagues before they have a go at the glazers

cj maxx · 13-08-2022 09:15PM

No manager could get Utd team to work. Full of millionaires who are happy stealing a living.

tinpib · 13-08-2022 09:19PM

It was bizarre that Sky Sports kept repeating that United had never been 4 goals down at HT in the Prem Lg. They were 4 down to Liverpool at HT last October, hardly an obscure event, was pretty memorable. Weird how they didn't correct themselves.

Are you sure they didn't say "4 goals down that early in a match"? i.e 35th minute

tinpib · 13-08-2022 09:30PM

Hmmm. Not sure now.

And to Spurs in 2020 apparently

NIMAN · 13-08-2022 09:51PM

Was out all day , didn't hear any scores until I switched on MOTD.

Funny stuff. Great to see the Utd crumble continue.

13-08-2022 09:55PM

Neville really making the point that the Glazers aren't spending their own money. Why would they? They are businessmen not a charity. Clubs should be self sustainable.

The players and manager need to take most of the grief for today.

Dé Gea and the centre backs, Ronaldo and Fernández flapping their arms in the air. The dressing room is rotten when you see players at that stuff. Ven Tag not strong enough to weed out the bad eggs.

Erik, Ten? Ha!

doc_17 · 13-08-2022 10:26PM

It’s amazing watching Harry Maguire. The amount of times he fixes his hair in a match…..

It's not only just that they aren't putting money in, it's that they are taking money out. They are the only set of owners who take dividend payments out of the club at the top end of the game - £11m this summer. £23m last year so on...

The club has just had it's worst ever PL season with the squad in total need of a rebuild and they are there with their hands out.

If you want to judge them purely as business men, then fine. They have turned one of the biggest clubs in world football with one of the best squads and one of the most impressive stadiums / training facilities into a team getting played off the pitch against Bretford and Brighton while the stadium and training facilities fall into disrepair.

And they got there through a method that is now illegal in PL - loading the cost of buying the club onto the club. With the total debt of this ownership still at the same level 17 years later.

They aren't business men, they are opportunistic parasites.
