Yes, and he seems about as motivational as a pickled squid...........one of many poor choices for a manager, and of players.

Who says pickled squids aren't motivational????

Decent result against Spurs, considering they got schooled in the second half. 

 

Top 5 looking hard to achieve, 8 points behind that and a vastly inferior goal difference so it's more like 9. Chelsea finding form under Poch as well so it could be a tough second half to the season. A decent run in the FA Cup might be the best hope now. 

[NE1]

We are giving far too many goals away from corners and free kicks.

I always thought De Gea in his younger days was frightened to come and help his defenders out with a punch ,  but he did improve as he got older.

This keeper appears to be glued to the line . he needs to start showing a bit of authority in the 6 yard box or we will keep conceding , and he will have to go.

Agree with all that

It was a strange choice to swap a great shot stopper like De Gea for a ball playing goalkeeper like Onana when you haven't got the defenders who can receive the ball and mount a phase of play. Especially when letting De Gea go for free and paying 48 Million for Onana.

 

One of many strange decisions from Ten Hag. Like paying 86 million for Antony.

Not a De Gea fan myself, but he had some qualities.

 

I'll admit that

If that is the case, Im hoping he gets up in court and sing like a canary, It has been quoted in the Times or the Telegraph he had nothing to do with it,

During the period that the charges are related to, he was THE MAN responsible for our deals which are under scrutiny. If we are guilty it was with his full knowledge. If he didn't know and these charges have any substance he would surely have resigned?

 

Who is Omar Berrada?

Berrada is the chief football operations officer at City Football Group (CFG) which owns Manchester City and 12 other clubs around the world.

 

He joined City in 2011, serving as head of international business development, director of partnership sales and then senior vice president group commercial director, before becoming the club’s chief operating officer in 2016.

Mrboj is hoping they are guilty?

 

Ok m'lud!!

[JonnyF]

Looking forward to the Wolves game. Solid mid table clash with 9th facing off against 11th.

 

I wonder if Rashford has recovered from his Dublin hangover yet (literal, not metaphorical)? Will Ten Hag pick him or will we see another Sancho situation developing?

 

I'm going for a 1-1 draw.

Belfast please keep up

[NE1]

It is a good job we can attack , cos' we cannot defend . That Dalot needs to go , he just doesn't defend well , he is either playing people onside or too far forward to defend against his winger.

We have lost a lot of goals through his bad defending in the last 2 or 3 seasons.

We can create chances but we sure as hell waste a lot of opportunities. That game should've been killed off.

What a goal by that kid. He'll be lucky to score another that good...ever.

A good solid 3-nil win another goal for Hojland

[retarius]

Brilliant result....goal diff now only -! and within striking distance of the scum floating on the top of the league. Great days are when the Reds win (Utd) and the reds lose (L'pool)

[ChipButty]

Give this guy a bit of support, Andy Mitten Great nephew to a United legend Charlie Mitten.

MISSING PERSON:

 

Very concerned for the whereabouts of JohnnyF. Last seen stooped over a laptop in a dimly lit room thinking of negative remarks to make about United.

 

If you've seen him please contact a moderator immediately. His family are very concerned for his wellbeing. 

[NE1]

Only bad thing about the game was the loss of Martinez , what a difference he makes .

Let's hope he is not out for too long.

Ya fanny, did you even watch the match ? He won the ball back to set up Garnacho's 2nd goal & worked tirelessly throughout the match - I remember you said on here that he wouldn't even score 10 goals this season - Well that's his 10th, ya fanny 👍

Yep. Tons of pace and hunger that kid.
