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

I think the thing with Amorim's midfield vs Carricks is that Amorim wanted all build up to go to the wings and he was very keen for a long ball to the striker and win the 2nd ball, the CBs were the ones tasked with the build up, not the midfield. He seemed to want 2 workhorses in midfield. That's not really a midfield set up that suits someone like Kobbie, who likes to take it from the CBs, play 1-2's and nick it around the corner. Whereas Carrick tends to prefer us to build up through the middle where possible. It's interesting as both managers are former midfielders but have completely different ideas and expectations for what their teams midfield should do.

As an aside, if we beat Sunderland at the weekend, the Sideshow Bob haircut will resurface for the Forest game. As little as I care for him or his head, it'd be great to not have that circus following into next season.

Good point.

Would be great to see the back of it.

100%

Bruno contribution made it.

When you see some madly deflected goals been given to the person taking the shot, the same rules should apply for assists

Dont think we should be going near Palmer for Chelsea, he can go completely off the boil for weeks on end

Tchouameni and Fernandes from WH is where we should be looking...cannot see Anderson going anywhere but City

Keane has being forced to change his tune about Carrick potentially getting the job full time.

Lot of people mentioning likes of Enrique but why would he leave an unbelievable team to take on a Utd side which still needs major work.

Young,cheap and English.

The Chelsea move has been a disaster for him but hes a decent player .

Id expect him to have a good career at mid table clubs.

Dont think we'll need too many signings in the summer. Onana back as cover, Rashford suites for the lw and Hojlund back up striker. Sorted. Pity Antony wasnt on loan

We need as much money as possible.

Dorgu at LW over Rashford.

New back up striker over Hojlund.

Onana can just **** off.

Jaysus they’re still showing replays of Sesko’s goal on Sky and asking if it should have been disallowed …. FFS the VAR images were inconclusive, yet they keep dragging it back up like there’s some hidden angle that’s going to prove it was handball. At this point it feels like anti United media bias more than actual analysis.

Goal should have been disallowed and play brought back to the initial challenge on Sesko, Jones would have been sent off and Utd would have had a penalty. Not sure why it wasn't disallowed if they saw contact, thats what they did in the City match and pool fans lost their life when Szobo was given the line, ye just cant win with those guys 😕

He was struggling to get ahead of Milner a few weeks ago.
