Very disappointed if Spurs don’t win.
Don’t won’t their failures to dictate top 4.
Rather we beat them to it.

Five hours later and I still find it incredibly funny that Scholes essentially outed Lingard as one of Uniteds dressing room leaks.
And he even did it in a way that he thought would present Lingard in a positive light. Daft twat.

By Cleff Go To PostFive hours later and I still find it incredibly funny that Scholes essentially outed Lingard as one of Uniteds dressing room leaks.Lol yep. I found utterly amusing that he was outing Lingard and thinking he was doing something good. He said this while suggesting that Lingard should be starting in place of Matic because Matic has announced that he is leaving....as if they even played the same role or that Lingard has actually played the last two games.

By Lego Go To PostBased on absolutely nothing I think Maguire, Shaw, Lingard and Rashford are a toxic/negative influence in the dressing room.I'm inclined to agree.
I’d dump all the English players to be honest.
Based on nothing of course.
By Lego Go To PostBased on absolutely nothing I think Maguire, Shaw, Lingard and Rashford are a toxic/negative influence in the dressing room.I think Henderson and Bailly are also very good contenders as well. Moreso than Maguire and Shaw. The latter play most weeks so haven't as much to be disgruntled by.

Bailly can get fucked. He's by far our worst defender. Complains about never playing yet can't be relied upon to not make at least one fuck up, or pick up one injury per game.
By Scum Go To PostTen in a row for Bayern.Disgusting
PSG draw to win Ligue 1.
By Scum Go To PostTen in a row for Bayern.Boring leagues. At least Lille won last year Ligue 1.

Just checked EPL table, it'll take some crazy luck and results for united to make top 4 now.
Incredible. If at least 7 players are not released/contract terminated this next window, it'll be a disgrace.

By Scum Go To PostI wonder what state the lad Shanks is in right now at the bar…
Had a bid of a dicey moment. A Manchester cut had a go at me for wearing a mask. End of the game he came up to me and was decent enough. We then laughed at the City cunts there who had no clue they used to play at Maine Road.

Liverpool, United, and Spurs?
This one is a major issue as well.
Rangnick clearly altered his tactics after the Crystal Palace game. We ran out of steam after an impressive first half pressing performance. He tried to then get us to press upon certain tactical instances but we soon stopped doing that too. The players gave up and we really started floundering after that.

Need to get rid of more than that.
Goalkeepers
De Gea is still an excellent shot stopper, but he will restrict our ability to play both more progressive passing football and proactive pressing football (henceforth known as the Four Ps of Penetration) because he isn’t good enough at starting attacks and isn’t strong enough as a sweeper keeper. I don’t think there’s many better six-yard-box goalies in the world; trouble is, his limitations mean our defence and midfielders need to regularly position themselves 5-10 yards deeper, starting attacks further away from the opposition goal and inviting pressure. Henderson is better with his feet, but not so much that he is an improvement on De Gea. Ultimately, he is younger and cheaper and more capable of being coached.
Verdict: Sell one of the two - preferably De Gea. Keep the other to start; look towards a new keeper in a year or two.
Full Backs
The two that started today shouldn’t be starting for any team with Champions League aspirations. Wan-Bissaka is never going to convince as an attacking full back, but is good back up. Shaw is good, and builds strong relationships with whoever his left winger is. Disappointing season after the last couple, though.
Verdict: Sell Dalot and Telles. Bring Laird and Williams back from loan and see what they’re made of. Move for a right back.
Centre Backs
I maintain that Harry Maguire is not a diabolical defender, and indeed can be a very good one, but he has had an awful year and needs a reset. Bailly and Jones need to go, Varane needs to sort himself out, and we need someone to provide real competition to Maguire so he isn’t automatically playing.
Verdict: Sell Bailly and Jones. Bring Tuanzebe back from loan and see what he’s made of. Move for a centre back.
Central Midfielders
Fred is a good squad player to have, and has been one of the only bright sparks this season. McTominay is severely limited; we won’t sell him, but he should be fourth choice at best. I hope Garner gets some game time instead of a PL loan; he looks ready. And VdB has the perfect coach for a fresh start (although I don’t think he’ll get there, I’m willing to give him a chance). We still need at least one centre midfielder who doesn’t panic on the ball and who can sit deep and initiate play; Rice is ideal but would cost a severe amount. Throwing incredibly envious looks at Liverpool having Fabinho AND Thiago.
Verdict: Get rid of Matic, Pogba and Mata. Bring Van de Beek and Garner back from loan and see what they’re made of. Give Hannibal more game time. Move for at least one centre midfielder.
Attacking Midfielders
Bruno is good enough and has produced enough he should be starting for the club. Sancho will be better with more time and a more defined role. Rashford needs a break and to get back to trying to prove himself rather than take his place for granted. I can see the argument for buying someone else here, but with those three and Elanga, as well as the likes of Garnacho and Pellestri, it should only come after CM and ST are sorted.
Verdict: Get rid of Lingard. Bring Pellestri back from loan and see what he’s made of. Give Garnacho more game time. If money left over, move for a right winger.
Striker
I’d be surprised to see someone come in for Ronaldo, but I wouldn’t be shocked. I’ll work under the assumption he’ll do one more year. (even if I’d rather he went). We need someone mobile, capable of dropping deep, pressing, stretching play… oh Harry, why couldn’t you be 5 years younger and 100m cheaper? Not sure what to do with Martial; I’d be inclined to see what Ten Hag makes of him
Verdict: Get rid of Cavani and Greenwood. Bring Martial back from loan. Move for a striker.
Outgoings
De Gea, Dalot, Telles, Bailly, Jones, Matic, Mata, Pogba, Lingard, Cavani, Greenwood (+ potentially Ronaldo)
I’d be surprised to see both full backs sold, and Henderson is more likely to leave, but that’d be my list.
So our squad next year should look like:
Henderson (Heaton)
New RB (Wan Bissaka/Laird)
Varane (Lindelof/Tuanzebe)
Maguire (New CB)
Shaw (Williams)
New CM (Garner)
Fred (Van de Beek)
Fernandes (Hannibal)
Sancho (New RW/Garnacho)
New ST (Martial)
Rashford (Elanga)
Dependent on who those signings are, that’s a good enough squad for top 4. I think Chelsea are vulnerable this off-season; work needed at CB and CM, and a new owner. Arsenal’s squad isn’t vastly different than ours quality wise, and while Conte is brilliant and Spurs have some really strong players in their first team, Levy won’t spend too much.
Rolf chats a lot of shit for a lad who has a achieved nothing in 40 years.
Maybe results would be better if he chatted less and coached more.
