ChipButty Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 One story that is doing the rounds and it's getting on my nerves is Peter Schmeichel saying that Steve Bruce could do the interim job The only fans who think Bruce would make a good appointment at United are Liverpool's and Manchester City's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChipButty Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Hoping for a win but just can’t see it. Think it’ll be the same team that started against Villarreal but with Rashford in for Martial. Starting XI: De Gea Wan-Bissaka - Bailly - Lindelof - Telles Van De Beek - McTominay - Fred Sancho - Ronaldo - Rashford Subs: Henderson, Dalot, Jones, Matic, Lingard, Fernandes, Diallo, Elanga, Martial Score Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Manchester United Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often wondered why Dalot doesn't get a run out at full-back/wingback, this especially after some dreadful performances by Wan-Bissaka, and I'm wondering whether Fernandes really should be dropped, because he does have some very good skills, even though he has seemed somewhat lethargic of late? Still, maybe that's the message that Carrick is trying to send to his players – – work hard and play well to secure your place, but that somewhat contradicts my statement about Wan-Bissaka!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Ole didnt stand a chance and AWB was a Ole signing I think a bit politics involved here, to me Dalot is far better going forward and can cross the ball, Here's a bit of insider info for you, Dalot has a personal trainer I know of him and by all accounts is very good as a fitness coach and he reckons Dalot should be in the team over AWB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you check out Telles he can play as a wing back in the Portuguese league he scored I think without looking 13 goals, if we had defenders who could score 13 goals a season we would be rocking, Now they need game time they have been miss managed. Can you believe we still have Phil Jones on the books on 80k a week he traveled with the squad down to Chelsea and Mata If they needed an extra defender I would have taken Teden Mengi I know he's only young 19 or 20 you never know with Bailly if he's going to get a Red card or injured, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The change has come at the right time, and IMO it's time to decide the future of quite a few of the United players and squad, and look towards building a TEAM. I say that because United's player acquisitions of the past season or three, seem to have been knee-jerk signings and not those required to build a team and strengthen key positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange substitution last night taking Sancho off unless he got a knock, I would have taken Rashford off first, he doesnt look match fit to me or is he turning into another Welbeck?

You say that like it's dead easy to get the better of Bayern Munich with clubs like Hoffenheim and Leipzig. If you at what he's actually achieved with clubs of that size it's impressive.

In my opinion it's probably the best thing to do for the man and the club, and probably the right time to after a couple of wins and a draw. On the one hand you could say that as the "stand in" coach his results were great, but let's not forget that he was part of the OGS management team, and that was pretty much a disaster. Also it gives the new manager, whether it be this caretaker one, or another one, free rein to bring in his own staff and not be shackled by any allegiances or decisions of the past – – a clean sweep if you like, and it's what United have needed in that department for a while, and now let's hope that they do it with the players that are surplus to requirements. I wish him all the very best in whatever he decides to do, because he was a top player and a great club man. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChipButty Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 If you are interested in Stat's here's one for you The main change was obviously in the pressing of United, which is so vital to Rangnick's philosophy. His team won possession in the final third on 12 occasions, which is the most they've done in the Premier League since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson.
