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

Maybe not a big deal but it is typical of his professionalism levels in recent years. After a great night Thursday, surely he would be determined to keep that going and show everyone what you can do next. Arrive to training with plenty of time to be prepared for a good session. Keep the momentum going. Apparently not.

Giving your manager no choice but to drop you for the next game is a step backwards for him. The difference with Raphinha is that when he comes back into the team following disciplinary action, he will stay there. Rashford is someone who has to fight harder for a place and he just doesn’t help himself.

Mark Goldbridge supports Man United in crisis. That’s his business model. Why waste your time arguing about him.

Just typical for him to show up in a big televised game, versus an English team in the champions league, keep his name ticking over for another few months, That's the man to a T

Yep, I’m watching. Nice assist there. I’m not suggesting it won’t be forgotten about but when you’re someone who is less likely to be first choice compared to the others when everyone is fit, you should be taking full advantage of the momentum from Thursday.

Literally stories of Barca considering cutting his loan short up to last week.

While we might hate social media "fans", what kind of reaction did Amad think he was going to get. Braindead stuff from him really.

Not sure how a well run club let's players get themselves into these situations.

Spotted a video of Garnacho warning up on the side line at the match, he went to Yoro to embrace him and Yoro literally gave him a cold shoulder. Yoro read the room, Amad not so much.

Sounds lovely, but far from reality. Players get abuse thrown at them all the time. Posting such an idiotic post was only going to invite a negative reaction.

I'll make the distinction with racist abuse, that is never acceptable for me.

How embarrassing for you to continue to get this wrong. His birth name is Brent Di Cesare, he now goes by Mark Goldbridge. There’s an interview out there about why he picked that name. And he says he changed it because of his police history. Anyway i’m stopping polluting this thread with this irrelevance, feel free to continue to post your incorrect nonsense

I don’t really get all the Nacho hate. I’m glad he’s moved on, but he did give us some great moments. Considering his dip in form, selling him for a decent profit was good business. He might need to adjust his attitude a bit, but he’s still a very good footballer. I genuinely wish him the best and would love to see him fulfil his potential, maybe even earn a move to Madrid one day.

Discuss what you want. I merely find the continued attacks on him pointless at this stage. "Gary Linekr interview on the way". Yeah, that one he has done in his career sure is a sign of things to come. Rashford is now proof of barcelona's standard dropping dramatically. Right. Sure. Marcus the boogey man out to ruin football.

I don't really get the strong anti-Garnacho sentiment either tbh.

A new Coach came in and he found himself trying to adapt to a new position that wasn't natural for him. Sure, his performance levels slipped and maybe his attitude could have been better. But he's a young lad, just recently turned 21. Young players make mistakes, they're not always perfect in what they do and say. And it seems the relationship with Amorim wasn't very good from the get-go either.

Which young players if you put their behavior under the microscope wouldn't appear in a negative light sometimes? Rooney had some transgressions in his day, even when he was older than Garnacho.

Garnacho had his good days in a United jersey. Played well in an FA Cup final win over City and in a number of other games also.

It's clear he didn't fit into Amorim's plans, and it did appear that his standards had slipped where workrate is concerned so it made sense to move him on. He'll have to show what he can do at Chelsea and try and nail down a regular place in the team. But personally I won't be wishing failure or bad things on him.

Considering it's still not 100% if Rashford will or will not leave Man Utd for Barcelona it is completely fair game as a topic if he is getting dropped from games due to poor time keeping etc..

I think we all want Rashford to do well over there and get his permanent move so relaying updates in the Utd thread is a valid topic. Not everyone would be aware he was dropped.

As has been pointed out Flick has form for this and in the past has tended to not hold a grudge. Rashford came on at HT still.

right, uh huh, cool. Great discussion. have fun.
