I don't think we'll ever get a full explanation for what has gone wrong at United. But one thing that's definitely a factor is certain players just played far too many games over a prolonged period. That includes dead rubber Europa League ties when we were comfortably through, but Solksjaer insisted on putting the first string out anyway.
Rashford played through half a dozen minor and major injuries; Maguire played every game he was fit for and the same goes for Bruno as well.
The psychological collapse of the squad is something else entirely and I don't have an answer for that. Maybe the unsuccessful transition from a counter-attacking side to one which tried to dominate possession dented the confidence of the players to the point where everything went to shit.

Playing with injury and a severe lack of confidence have hampered him currently.
Hopefully, he regains something this season. ♥️

I loved that video. A lot of similar ones you see flashy skills and then not much after. Every single one of those clips had end product.
Rashford was overplayed through injury. I don’t think he’ll ever reach the peak he was capable of.

By Freewheelin Go To PostArsenal conceded some world class goals that season
Absolutely mad goals in this highlights reel, :lol
very special season for me, my first following The Arsenal, and the one where I really became a fan.
By n8 dogg Go To PostEssien goal one of my favourites everOne of the GOATs
The goal Alex scored vs Arsenal at a direct free kick is another of my favs
By n8 dogg Go To PostEssien goal one of my favourites everThe Andy gray commentary is seared into my brain. Perfection
Taylor, RVP and McFadden for me. What is the Rooney one doing in there? It's so pedestrian in comparison, lol.

This dude has probably been my most prolific regen ever. I was coaching Leverkusen when he was signed and then moved to City in 32/33. Signed him for around $225m on Jan 1. He is 32 now and I usually would jettison him but he's just too good.
Wow I didn't know Casemiro was £70 million, I thought he was €70 million. 400k a week too.
Obviously a great player but fuck me, that's so much money for a reactionary buy

Would be quite surprised if Neto happens given the price Wolves would probably demand.
Portuguese FC.

By WoodenLung Go To PostWeird way to shorten that. But no doubt also bullshit, it was fucking Schweinsteiger, not Ronaldo.
From the Athletic this morning:
Although the United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward had been keen to advertise shirt sale figures at sports retailer Kitbag when Schweinsteiger suddenly rose from 33rd to the fourth-most popular player on the planet after his move to United, Bayern’s directors were wiser in assessing the state and value of their icon.
By Freewheelin Go To PostSmh, long shot premier League, no wonder they couldn't hack it with tiki taka and the la Liga back then
Absolutely mad goals in this highlights reel, :lol
By inky Go To PostMonday, leds.Only if you protest enough, bring out your green and yellow scarf lad.
Has the game been abandoned yet?
By Dan Go To PostPep here kind of gave me the same vibe as this video
Thing about Pep is he always gives credit where it’s due.
By Batong Go To PostOnly if you protest enough, bring out your green and yellow scarf lad.booking my flight as we speak
We'll use tennis balls that are already yellow and the pitch is already Green,

I like the idea of a HT unveiling. It sets a buzz amongst the fans.
But to do it when you're obviously struggling on and off the pitch, and when there's a clear dislike of the owners, just makes us look a bit desperate for a 'win' with the fanbase.

Tripper
It'll be great banter if you're 3 down at HT

By Frustrated_me Go To PostSoft lad, couldn't even say one word during his speech before breaking down.
:( Goodbye Case
Poor lad. Quick, someone remind him his huge wages are being doubled!
By FortuneFaded Go To PostCould be of use today
Me just two minutes after kick off.
By n8 dogg Go To PostFrom the Athletic this morning:
I'm sure he was. But how does that in any way, say that was the reason they signed him. It can be an added bonus and not be the reason to sign him, that excuses just what a terrible transfer it was
By WJD Go To Postpersonally I'd like us to do a goal tonightWell see that’s where I respectfully disagree with you.
just one would be a start
