Are they any better than when Ole was at the wheel?   

[RedSince86]

Howard Webb showed his colours when he was quaffing Prawn sandwiches and drinking Champagne in a executive box at OT first game of the season at his favourite club showed he'll be doing everything to help them.

They've been gifted 6 points so far under the Webb regime.

[Kopenhagen]

Incredibly strange transfer window from these. It’d be quite hilarious to see it all go pear shaped.

[lobsterboy]

Being gifted results by Premier Game Manchester Officials Ltd. while looking shit is "The United Way" at this point.

[Red Ol]

They’re a poor team and should be mid table but, as others have said, when you constantly have home grown refs and mufc worshiping VAR influencing games, then anything is possible … except winning the league of course. That’s not happening anytime soon regardless of the leg ups they always get

[Yosser0_0]

Feels like we’re being underestimated a bit, not just in the media but the general sense I get from speaking to supporters of other teams. The players leaving, the Caicedo saga etc, it’s like they all think we’re on a downward spiral.

By contrast, doesn’t seem to be that much chat about how underwhelming these look. Scraped two home wins against bottom 6 sides and well beaten away from home. Their away firm was awful last season too. They have a decent unbeaten run at home but you feel that will go soon.

The football is pretty turgid. They’re struggling to land their targets too. Ten Hag only seems to trust players he’s coached before.

Worrying Times.

I don't know, I think they've looked quite stylish by their own standards.

[Knight]

They could be really screwed this season, midfield just doesn't look right at all. If Casemiro's legs have gone especially.

[Mahern]

I don't know, I think they've looked quite stylish by their own standards.

That has to be Gary Neville's dad or uncle (or both) on the left.

[has gone odd]

superb renaming of the thread title, love it.

[Elzar]

What's their best 11 now if Regullion goes through?

Onana

Wan Bissaka
Varane
Martinez
Reguillion

Casemiro
Amrabat
Fernandes

Rashford
Anthony
Hojlund

Is that it? Then they have basically no good backups for half those players. Mad amount of money spent.

[Red Beret]

How this lot must wish Saudi would come in and offer stupid money for some of their players.

I thought Tommy Scott was a Liverpool fan, yet there he is with a "I Hate Scouse" badge on.

I was watching that 'Us and Them' documentary on LFC TV last week and I had to laugh at Peter Hooton describing them as being dressed like 'Bay City Rollers' fans back in the 70's (12:30mins).

2 loan deals and Jonny Fucking Evans???

WTF is going on?

Thanks for posting that video. I'd not seen it before. A very enjoyable half hour it was too.

And yes, my overriding image of a Man United fan will always be the Bay City Roller wannabee look. It defines them.

WTF is going on?

They own two beautiful albatross', one is called Maguire, the other is McTominay

They owe over £1 billion, and are in trouble with the FFP. Their spending on shite has finally caught up with them ...

[John C]

Personally I think the Amrabat on loan deal is fascinating. I'll be really interested to see how he settles and performs across the entire season.
I wish him zero luck of course, but it's up to the footballer to make an impression.

About fucking time. Sancho and Anthony alone are £155 million 

[CraigDS]

"Leave the club by mutual consent"

"Gone on loan"

 

[Kalito]

"Leave the club by mutual consent"

"Gone on loan"

 

And continue to provide support to him - whatever the fuck that means.

Shithouse club.

[PeterTheRed ...]

I am really curious, what part of the NO GREENWOOD* in the thread title people don't understand?

[Motty]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA The fucking state of their signings, not even looked until just now but it's just confirmed that they are Man Uni7ed the gift that keeps on giving 😂😂😂😂 7th place for them even with SYP's finest helping the c*nts.

[JovaJova]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA The fucking state of their signings, not even looked until just now but it's just confirmed that they are Man Uni7ed the gift that keeps on giving 😂😂😂😂 7th place for them even with SWP's finest helping the c*nts.

Their squad is a disaster. Zero chance of winning anything now, and not built to come good in the future either.

I’m not sure who has spent the billion quid worse, them or Chelsea. At least Chelsea have young players who have the chance of potentially being good.

United yet again need a whole new squad to get back to where they want to be and not just treading water, but they have already spent a billion. They are totally screwed for at least the next 5 years.

[harleydanger]

superb renaming of the thread title, love it.

This thread has been renamed so many times. What are we up to now? 6th renaming? 7th?

[xbugawugax]

how can that be? sir gary of sky sports keep claiming glazers aren't spending enough and are willing to knee and bend over for oil sheikhs so that his beloved club could have some spare change.

[phil236849]

So 60m Mount is no longer first choice 3 matches in?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[elsewhere]

Damn, Salah loves playing against these, doesn't he?

[Crosby Nick]

Shaun Wright-Phillips?

Isn't he essentially just cover for Casemiro? Can't see them both in the same midfield doing the same job, unless they go 4231.

[farawayred]

Come the end of season, I think that Amrabat will see more game time then Casemiro, who is a great player, but seems to be losing his legs.

[Motty]

Shaun Wright-Phillips?

He'd do a better job that's for sure 😂 I'll change it now

They've signed some dross in the past but none as bad as this window, not going to be a quick fix to rectify all this like you say

[Bobsackamano]

So another transfer window passes by and Harry, Donny and Scott are still there. Heartwarming.

[the_red_pill]

Really don`t understand why they let De Gea go. Okay, he's not great with the ball at his feet, but he is a decent keeper nonetheless. If they have a limited budget it made no sense to me.

They are not finishing top 4 this season.

Yeah they've really, really spent poorly. Bayindir, Onana, Mount, Amrabat...
Sound like us in the early 2000's ... and yet Ged led us to trophies... this lot?

Out of that list, Mount's looking like the only decent signing, but he's not what they needed. Onana is good, but no chance he's a replacement for De Gea. Amrabat... and on loan at that. Bayindir is a backup option so that's even worse.

Can't even make signings anymore- people just don't want to go there anymore. Is it Joyce who said that they couldn't convince Gravenberg cause they were unclear, and that's why they missed out?
If that's te case, I wonder who else really turned them down this summer.
And why is the manager still the only one calling the shots on transfers over there? Erebody's started moving on from that like in 2010 already!

That is poverty! Where will the goals come from?
Who will make the saves?
With Casemiero being taken to the cleaners against Wolves and Spurs... is Amrabat any better?
They barely scraped top 4 last season and if the diff between us was one more game, they could've missed out, so this season looks grim.
If I was a United supporter, I'd be looking over at Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle.. even Chelsea - green with envy, and dreading this campaign!

Arsenal have never had it so good going into a match against these. It's gunna be an absolute slaughter!
Might even give them the boost they need to feel like competitors again this season... for another few games.

[Fromola]

Come the end of season, I think that Amrabat will see more game time then Casemiro, who is a great player, but seems to be losing his legs.

They do need the cover at least. Always said with Casemiro he might be good for 1-2 seasons but his legs will go and they'll be stuck with the huge wages and still paying off the transfer fee. However, Saudi will probably end up bailing them out next year or the year after.
