Manchester United Thread 25/26 - Teamtalk/Transfers/Gossip Mod Note in OP 26.09.24

That lad on Instagram that Hojlund was replying to in DMs looks like he was right all along

any links?

What happened

AWB playing like a reborn Cafu this Season for the Hammers…..yet another Utd cast off starring for his new club.Has been excellent all Season.

Sent in a brilliant cross for Bowens winner today.

Listening to MOTD and that unbearable Murphy talking out his ass as usual

Murphy fails to add that this lack of effort, lack of running has been the same case under ETH and many mangers before.

What a load of **** crap from this Pundit as usual

These players have been like this for many seasons and until they are fecked out of our club, this **** will continue

Nice of him to look like he gives a **** for Villa, didn’t have that energy about him for us for a long time.

Only saw MOTD highlights but my God Onana is up there with Massimo Taibi for goalkeeping blunders…..he costs us too many points each Season,instead of gaining us points like good consistent keepers do.

Dalot,MDL and Maguire error strewn throughout,Casemiro might as well have sat down in centre circle and built a sandcastle for his time on the pitch,Rasmus and Zirkzee seemed poor again…..although service to front players is so poor.

Bruno’s passing wayward as always,cracking free kick to save face 😅……

Think it was Mitch listing a possible team for next Season…..personally I would go for more Premier League tested players this Summer to ensure quick integration into a functioning team……..and try and buy young,hardworking players at that.

Can’t afford a new keeper,and limited enough funds for a cb probably…..need a LCB as Shaw & Martinez can’t stay fit…..would love Brantwaithe but he will be too expensive.

We desperately need a goal poacher upfront,with Rasmus as an understudy.

So here’s my two cents🙂

Starting Team- (fully fit squad)

Bayindir

Maz MDl New signing

Amad Ugarte Bruno (staying deep) Dorgu

Mbuemo Mainoo

Cunha/Delap

Subs-Onana,Yoro,Maguire,Dalot,Shaw (buy a better fit option in the Summer for LCB),Martinez,Collyer,Gore,Garnacho,Chi-do, Casemiro ……etc.

Bruno would have to be disciplined and not leave Ugarte exposed and would create passing triangles involving Mainoo.

Big emphasis on the 3 CB’s taking far less time dawdling on the ball before playing it through the lines.

Garnacho to come on against tiring defenders to hopefully wreak havoc.

If either Cunha or Delap could be got for say 60m with a possible makeweight like Zirkzee going into the deal it would be great.

Mbuemo has tremendous strength,direct running and scoring power and wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg.Daamsgard is hard working,very creative and can finish as well and could be got for 30-35m.

The Saudis have zero interest in Cas so he ain’t going anywhere!😢

Not ideal to be starting Bayindir but he’s less error prone than Onana!

Have fun taking my side apart!🤣

I don't think Amorim can turn this tanker around.

Even with a summer transfer window and pre-season (along with whatever else is left in this write-off of a season). Amorim did good work with Sporting, but the resilience required to work with such a basket case club and useless bunch of players is on another level.

Generally a team experiences that 'new manager bounce', but I can't say that has been apparent at all under Amorim. The effort from the players is simply not there. or the manager is not conveying his tactics well-enough. From what I can recall (and happily open to correction here), but when Klopp replaced Rodgers, he took over at a similar point in the season as Amorim (around October 2015). By the time United played Liverpool in the Eurpoa League games in March, his style was already beginning to embed in the team, and what's more is the bang average players in the squad had bought into his tactics. Arguably that Liverpool squad was worse than what Klopp inherited, not by much though.

Also, how infuriating is it too to see players cast-off thrive at other clubs who would have been great fits in Amorim's system? AWB, Alvaro and McTominay spring to mind - Likewise, DDG has been incredibly solid for Fiorentina, while Onana yesterday was disastrous continuously parrying shots back into dangerous areas. The whole narrative about Onana's distribution and playing out from the back seems totally overblown when compared to his lack of ability in some of the basics. DDG was not Ederson by any means when it came to playing-out, but he was a solid keeper who saved the team more points than he dropped.

Is there a correlation between leaving Utd and suddenly playing much better?

Is Rashford's (albeit small sample) performances for Villa another example?

Antony?

McTominay?

He has a very poor return of goals and assists, especially this season for someone who receives the ball in such threatening positions.

It is if you ignore all the players that haven't gone on to do anything or even worse (pogba) and that players get over hyped by the media like Sancho whom was very average at Dortmund and on his way to being a bench player at Chelsea's

In the league,.in Germany his goal assist rate was .38 his best at united was .48 and he was never considered good at united, had like 2 good games on the champions league for them for sure.

Not sure where you are getting 1.00 g/a per game

Greenwood was class for us and would still be here if not for......

Nah, there is no reason to think, suggest or discuss that the poor performances of the players at united are in anyway, to any level, because of united.
