The Manchester United thread

[Baxidar ba]

Mctominay excellent v Burnley, much better playing box to box with license to go forward instead of holding.

Burnley had their chances but didn't take them, transfer window opening soon, hopefully we can bring in a couple of new faces.

[Eric Le Roi]

Bit better last night but still a long way to go.

Onwards and upwards.

[Baxidar ba]

Outplayed & well beaten at home to Wolves, 1st Wolves win at OT since 1980.

No team cohesion, just 11 individuals all doing their own thing. 

I don't know what is going on in training, but on the pitch we are awful.

It's too early to judge Rangnick but we seem to be getting worse not better.

[rope-a-dope]

Wolves battered them, hilarious. Have they got Ole back as a coach..behind the scenes?

Back to the days of woe when Jose was about to be sacked. 3 years+ down the drain.

Phil Jones, the gift that keeps on giving, even though you put him on the shelf for three years...

[rope-a-dope]

Jones pretty decent game considering not played for 2 years.

[Baxidar ba]

Completely forgot about Phil, when I saw Jones on the team sheet my 1st thought was Bridgette must have changed career.

TBF in the circumstances he did ok.

Except that his poor clearance directly resulted in the Moutinho goal - but then, of you compare him to 'arry then he was ok... 😀

Has Ragnick lost the dressing room already.

You can't lose something you've never had, lots of stories coming out of player unrest & bemusement at Rangnicks training methods & tactics.

BTW just saw in another thread you're in Thailand now, very jealous, enjoy.

It's a matter of perspective, but enjoying right now in Thailand is a bureaucratic quagmire.

Probably played his last game for Man utd, the evidence is pretty damning.

Just shocking...

[striderman]

breaking news says an arrest has been made on suspicion of rape and assault

Edited January 30, 2022 by striderman

Front page news & all the media will be demanding he be cancelled, It won't happen though, money talks & Mason is too valuable to simply sack.

Not excusing his (alleged) behaviour but he's 20 & probably quite immature for his age, he's been put on a pedestal all his life & has probably never been told no.

We've all made mistakes especially at his age, he will have to grow up & man up pretty quickly now.

I'm sure he'll be reflecting on things now &  If the allegations are true, he will be punished accordingly.

Young guys like this have the world at their feet & way too much money, hopefully if nothing else this will serve as a wake up call.

 

 

[Captain Cockblock]

This has shades of Ravel Morrison all over it from years ago, his off field shenanigans cost him potentially a great career as United. 

[taylor1975]

The club will get nervous about all the sponsors, which are more valuable than any one player. If the charges progress to court ...he's in trouble

From 2018:  After the allegation he was dropped and never seen again...

Liverpool footballer Jon Flanagan has been sentenced to a 12-month community order for assaulting his girlfriend on a night out. Flanagan, 25, pleaded guilty earlier this month to the common assault by beating of Rachael Wall, with whom he had been in a relationship for 18 months.

[SteveB]

The fact that she's recorded it suggests that this isn't the first time. Lock him up and ban him from professional sports for life.

I think you have misinterpreted the charge of "rape", he'll be going to jail and his career will most certainly be over, if guilty of course.

these incidents are almost always "he said, she said" which gives the accused lawyers plenty of wiggle room. in this case they face an uphill battle that would challenge black adder to come up with a cunning plan

[jocky king]

I’m shocked , thought he looked a sensible boy with everything going for him in the future with United & England . That’s all gone now , over one big stupid mistake . Hope that girl will recover from the ordeal. 

[Chuck in Bangkok]

The recorded evidence is especially damning. When people (and juries) can actually hear or see these things being said and done out of the mouths of the accused...
