Manchester United Thread 25/26 - Teamtalk/Transfers/Gossip Mod Note in OP 12.02.26

I said it during the game, the ball is horrible for many reason, like shae goes on an overlap bombing forward, dalot doesn't play the pass, waits and then plays a **** pass to Bruno, if he at least played the **** pass and starting running back it'd be something, the lack of footballing IQ out players have is head wrecking.

All he has to do is play shaw on the over lap and hold his position or fall back to cover shaw and we are set defensivly.

His pass takes himself, shaw and Bruno out of the defence on a counter

Just to point out that there's loads of "Munoz type middle-age" players signed each summer to the league. Most don't go on to be as good as Munoz.

Utd's scouting should be doing better but it's also not as easy a task as just picking out the good ones.
Our eyes are always drawn after the fact when a player is doing well down the league and we ask "why didn't utd get him".

Also, moving to palace and moving to Utd are very very different moves.
You don't get time at Utd to find your feet to the same level you do at Brighton or Palace so on

Perhaps but theres a clear gap between unproven kid a world class expensive star. We never hit that middle area. Just wait for them to quadruple in value elsewhere.

You’re missing our real specialty. The unproven kid who’s priced like a world class expensive star.

Sorry, neglected Burnley (A) 7th January- Easy three points!!😂 So i'd be hoping to get 11 out of possible 15- I know its optimistic and its the hope that kills you!

I think if we play to villas strengths they could beat us well but via versa if we invite them on snuff out the few creative players they have and just hit them on the counter we could win well.

Id like to see similar game plan as the Liverpool one but with more attacking threat and better defending.

There is a blueprint there to beating them similar to Liverpool so hopefully That's the route we go and we execute it.

Newcastle are a hard dirty team there performances can be all over the place at times but they always seem to raise their game against us

Ah fair enough didn't realize they were that badly off, so a good time to be playing then for sure, nice to happen for a change,.still absolutely hate playing and watching them since Howe became manager.

They do a have elanga too for the ex player magic :)

I expect Wissa will probably be ready to start by the time we face them so that could well be a problem aswell. It certainly wont end 0-0 anyway.

We only won 2 of the last 7 games in our "easy" run, so I don't know why people expect the win rate to increase now that the games get harder, the schedule tighter and the squad smaller.

Listening to Andy Mitten on TOTD and he thinks United are going for 2 in CM, CB and another player (didnt give a position)

Has to be targets for next summer I would imagine. Not sure about this list tbh, we need 2 CMs as things stand. Casemiro & Ugarte will problem be gone in the summer, Bruno looks like he might be eyeing the door and who knows what's going to happen with Mainoo. If they were all to go we'd need at least 3 to replace them, especially if we have EL football.

He didn't really say timeframe, Just United are looking at it. Also with them saying that they wouldn't be surprised to see Bruno be gone and if Saudi come in it be cash up front they think which would be great.

Mentioned that Anderson has a list of suitors and United will need players like Cunha/Mbuembo to make it clear to their clubs they want United only

I saw United linked with midfielder Ruben Neves, who might have had enough of Saudi after two years. He's still only 28.

It might be quite a sensible move actually if the fee wasn't too high, and we know that Amorim loves Portugese players…..
