The Manchester United thread

[taylor1975]

Two sponsors dropped already and re-arrested for death threats lol

Don't think you'll see him playing in UK again.

 

[rope-a-dope]

It's cheerio from him. Probably be fine over in the middle east.

[Micky Finn]

He was arrested in November for kidnapping her but Utd covered it up. The boy has form and should be banged up and banned from playing football again.

What I find completely befuddling is that almost two thirds of the season is over, must have played closed to 40 odd games (in PL+cups) & not a single game they could show a dominating performance.

Its either the first half or the 2nd half, never a complete game. Taking the lead & can't hold on or going behind & Ronaldo rescuing a point, or can't break down low blocks. Even the counter-attacking speed that Ole developed has completely gone now.

“Knocked them off their f***ing perch” as Sir Alex Ferguson famously once said. 😀What goes around comes around springs to mind. 😁

Embarrassing today, yes City are far better but we could have at least have made a game of it.

We had players today trotting around like it was an exhibition match. 

22 points behind City now & possibly years away from realistically challengelling for the title again.

 

[irishstu007]

He would kick some arses on the training ground.

 

[Mick Pattaya]

Can't quite see where Ragnick has improved the team.

The counter-attacking speed is gone, can't keep possession for more than 30-35 mins in a game, shambolic fitness, abysmal team spirit.

What exactly did the staff and players do to prepare, they had the whole week to get themselves ready ffs!!!!

Agreed Mick, it's a total shitshow. Long road ahead.

Forget challenging for the PL, that's a long way off. Next season Newcastle enter the scene as well, we might not get 2 play in the UCL for quite some time.

Agreed, when Rangnick started he said he might stay on as manager next season, he's now said he'll definitely be moving upstairs. (I think he underestimated how big a job it is)

Rashford has apparently today said he's considering his future, not a surprise as he's looked very disinterested at times this season.

My guess is CR7 will be off if we don't qualify for CL,Lingard, Pogba & Cavani will all leave, god only knows if Greenwood will ever kick a football in this country again.

Leaks coming out of OT on a weekly basis, players not happy about (in no particular order)

Maguire captaincy 

Rangnicks assistant 

The formation & tactics 

It appears the dressing room is toxic with everyone out for themselves, City had 90%+ possession in the final 15mins.

These players stopped running for Rangnick, just like they stopped for Ole when Watford battered us.

The club's in a mess & whoever takes over needs to get rid of this lot, try & bring in a couple of quality players like Rice & Bellingham & give the younger players like Elanga, Gardner, Mejbri & Amad a chance. 

We need young hungry players who actually want to play for this club, but right now I agree there is every possibility that Newcastle could win a PL title before we do.

Positive: Brilliant hat trick by CR7 who is now the all time record goalscorer.

Negative: Rashford looks like he needs a psychiatrist, I think its time for him to be rested for his own good.

I don't know if it's personal problems but at times yesterday he looked to be on the brink of a nervous breakdown.

[Eric Le Roi]

Magnificent hat-trick from the GOAT but it was only papering over the cracks.

Rashford and Maguire need to be left out (or maybe even shipped out) immediately.

Looking forward to tuesday night so onwards and upwards.

Keep the faith.

[Baxidar ba]

Last chance of silverware gone, predictably beaten & only 4th to play for. 

We've turned into Arsenal in Wenger's last decade, playing for 4th every year. I wonder what SAF makes of how far we have fallen.

[Eric Le Roi]

Season over, can't see us making 4th place. Would rather finish 9th and avoid that Thurs/Sun europa shite. Hope the summer clearout actually happens. 

[Chuck in Bangkok]

Yes, this team needs a complete reset.

[Baxidar ba]

What is going on ?

The only fit striker today (Rashford) is on the bench & Pogba & Bruno start up front?

Cavani & Bailly are fit for their national sides but always seem to be injured when they return.

Lots of rumours about Rashfords attitude in training being awful & by his body language it looks like he's trying to force a move away.

Rangnick looks more like a school teacher than a top class coach & judging by some recent performances it's clear these players for whatever reason simply aren't trying for him.

4th was still a possibility but today was just going through the motions & winding down waiting for the summer hols.

Under SAF we weren't always the best but the players always showed commitment.

There was once a story of Van Nistlerooy failing to chase an over hit ball, this apparently confirmed Fergies suspicion that he'd lost his edge & he sold him soon after.

I wonder as he's sat in the stands what he's thinking about this current lot.

[Eric Le Roi]

End of the season stroll for the multi-millionaires today. No real game plan, tactics or even effort. Can't wait for the season to end.

[Mick Pattaya]

I fail to understand why Maquire hasn't stepped down yet, he's clearly not leading from the front, pretty evident the dressing room doesn't respond to him & his own performances hardly deserve a start in the first 11. He has been a failure on & off the pitch this season.

It is also crystal clear, that Ragnick is going by the mantra 'do no harm'. He has already sussed out that he can't get a tune out of these players, so instead of rocking the boat big time he is content to let the season peter out & then take up that boardroom position. Finishing in the UCL or Europa position is somebody else's problem now.   

[Captain Cockblock]

I hope Erik Ten Hags coaching is better than his dancing.

 

[Baxidar ba]

No passion, no heart, no Desire.

Everton are a poor team but they must be thankful that they came up against a poorer team today.

Rangnick doesn't deserve a director role, he needs to be bombed out at the end of the season along most of this current squad.

This is the worst Utd team in 30 years, Ten Haag needs to appreciate just how big a job he's got on, this club needs a complete reset.

[Eric Le Roi]

The club is rotten from top to bottom, we've known that for quite a while. 

Today's display was disgusting. 

But we will be back.

[Mick Pattaya]

Never seen an interim/replacement coach so pathetic than Rangnick, he's been even more disastrous than the one he replaced. 

Everton can't defend and yet Utd couldn't pull the likes of Keane and Godfrey apart.

No running behind full backs, no defined patterns of play, not even a cross of quality with arguably the best header in town. 

Pretty sure CR-7 moves on & scores 20+ goals next season and curses his luck having signed with this insipid Man Utd team. 

Shudder to contemplate what happens away at Anfield, with Liverpool going for the title and Man Utd playing for.........????
