By Meier Go To PostStarted the two previous matches. He’s not playing as much as we’d like but he’s getting a lot of minutes for a 19 year old at a top club. Played in 20 games this season.'Minutes played' would be more useful.
By inky Go To PostIt's true that he played lately so it's understandable he doesn't feature today. But plenty of those appearances have been like 10 minutes or less. I get it's hard to get more time at City, but he's quality and I just think those 5-10 minute spells are not really helpful. Age shouldn't be that much of a factor when a player is good.I agree, but it’s a tough lineup to get into and even if we’d prefer otherwise, Pep clearly prefers a more experienced player when given the choice. I think the main thing is that City cannot sign an established CM this winter or summer to replace Silva. If that happens then Phil should leave imo. I’ve said he should have demanded a loan away before as well — he needs to be playing more and frankly deserves to be.
By n8 dogg Go To Postthe only thing that would make us worse is if the saudis bought us
Ehhh it’s not so bad.
By Dan Go To PostEhhh it’s not so bad.
Would genuinely not watch United anymore if they bought us. It’s bad enough Glazers owning us but they’re just run of the mill cunts.

Wait, Benfica already sold Raul De Tomás? I truly expected him to crush the league but he actually just crashed.

We were making jokes a few days ago about vintage United transfer rumours and... DAMN, WHAT YEAR IS THIS

Don't lie you lemon.
I would stop watching United if they still have Ole for next season.
Jesus Christ just sack him already.

Being serious. Football doesn’t matter so much to me I’d ignore being used as propaganda by human rights abusers.
The only way I see for us to get out of this hole is for new owners to come in and purge the current "structure".
Until then, manager after manager will fail. Props to Nicky Butt for keeping the youth system intact.

Good interview with Ljinders in the Athletic. Hard for my brain to imagine his favoured formation of three-fiamond-three.
Laughing at the idea the coach is reading this article.
“Jurgen came to me with a letter that someone from Germany had written to him,” he reveals.
“It had a CV with it from a coach who was looking for a job at Liverpool. It was written in English and Jurgen came to me and said ‘Pep, what is this? I don’t understand it.’ So I started to read it out and said ‘Gaffer, this guy wants to be on the training pitch with you doing sessions.’
“Jurgen said: ‘Ah, so basically he wants your job?’ I said: ‘Yes, you could look at it like that!’ He took the letter, ripped it up, threw it in the bin and walked off without saying anything. That was when I thought ‘things are going well here’. It’s difficult to put a moment like that into words.

“I believe each football project is like the sun rising up and going down, and for our project it’s not even noon. That’s the reason why we committed for another four years.”😍😍😍
By NinjaFridge Go To PostDifficult to get signings done in January
Very true, I have heard experts in not-making-signings say so.
By Laboured Go To PostVery true, I have heard experts in not-making-signings say so.Fortunately our hunt for a DoF is ongoing which will sort everything out.
Christ even I’m depressed at this new Manchester United
I think they should get a new logo or something, to separate the wreckage from the memory of what the club once was

In the end you'd still watch the game and still love your club. I also can't blame the City supporters for having such shitty owners. If you support that club your whole life it's hard to imagine that you just stop doing that.
By Laboured Go To Post
That's not happening.
By bud Go To Posthe’s like klaassen, except he’s a few years younger.
Yes they're both homegrown and they have blonde hair and play in midfield. But in the end Donny is just a much better player than Klaassen. I loved Klaassen, but he definitely wasn't as gifted as Donny.

I’d watch football. Wouldn’t support United or contribute any money or time to the following of them.

By Hitch Go To PostWish Fabregas had stayed at Arsenal
He was a joy to watch before he got re-Barcified. Had a short return to being that kind of player in his first season at Chelsea, but it didn't last.
3rd best passer I have ever seen. Really a shame that he left us and then went to shit.
By Mystikal McGhee Go To Postoh please
I am not inmoral scum like u
By bacon Go To PostVdB is a much better player.
i wouldn't say he's much better. time will prove me right.
