Excellent talent Mainoo, not a number 6 though. Doesnt have the defensive game. He could become a very good number 8 who can press from the front and concentrate more on the attacking side. Hes very good on the ball and his ability to beat players in central midfield is what stands out and has people making crazy comparisons to zidane and seedorf.
Eventually he ll want to win things and play in CL so might have to move, will be interesting to see how he develops at a big club.

[Phineus]

He’ll be massively overplayed and, like Rashford, doesn’t seem like he’ll have the type of coaches at club or international level to help reach is full potential.

Looks a talent though, looks after ball well.

Also, it’s remarkable Ten Hag doesn’t know the correlation between performances and long term results - hopefully this new board they have don’t either.

Just heard that too. Along with the Ashworth situation, nice to see Radcliffe finally bring some professionalism to Man Utd.

It sounds as if Soton might complain about this approach.

Did they take him to a chippy in Blackpool?

Erm, Why is it nice?

I am assuming he is commenting on the way they are going about it, rather than it being nice. As this is the second club they have managed to piss off.

[newterp]

I feel like the thread title needs a change - no one wants to talk about those two failures anyway.*




*so many to choose from, I know.

Yeah, it's obviously not a great look. Man Utd might not care, which wouldn't be surprising but along with wanting the public to pay for a new stadium for them, it speaks volumes about them.

[Nitramdorf]

Why do they need a DoF. Cant Mainoo do it?

[The North Bank]

Reporter: Man United are eight points behind you, can they challenge for a Champions League spot?

Ange: Do you see us challenging Manchester City? They’re only eight points ahead of us?



Very good by Ange. The overrating of man utd never ends. Last season was a 3 horse title race even when they were 13 points behind us.

[Vote For Pedro]

Wonder how many DoFs these idiots are going to leave bobbing around in their wake before they get lucky

Can't escape it sadly when more than half of the media, pundits etc. are United fans. 
And it brings clicks, which is all they care about.

We need to set this straight so we don't offend any Mancs that are lurking.

They are called Mainchester Oonited, not 'Mainoo'.

Let's see them lodging complaints like they did with us. Petty from me perhaps, but whatever.
Anything to p|ss off the red mancs.

Love/hate relationship with Ange, me...
He's still a fellow Liverpool supporter(and his dream job, I'm sure), BUT because/since he's at Spurs, he's turning into/has-to-be, a right knob sometimes.
He does speak sense though, and he's got some wit about him...

[Schmidt]

I wonder what odds you can get on them finishing the season with a negative goal difference.

The odds are looking good:



Problem with these... they have a knack for finishing the season strongly.

Magnificent. 30 minutes on the tram from Alty for him

Brilliant from him .
I'm off now to compare how many CL games us vs untied have been in since Fergie stepped down.

They are doing all they can to stop us.

The PGMOL isn't even hiding it now. They seem untouchable and sheltered from criticism and accountability.

[clinical]

If a ref from Liverpool was reffing a game between Liverpool and Utd at Anfield there's absolustely no way Ferguson wouldn't have made a big deal out of it. Hope Klopp says something to be honest. Put the focus on the ref.

Seriously?

Metro link to work. Saves on the travel expenses.

He can also meet up with his family at the bar afterwards. Proper family occassion.

I like him, I only hate the club he manages so wish him all the failure, but that was a good one. He does speak sense.

I've heard he'll get off at Stretford and walk.

Ironically he let so much go on Sunday he'll probably have his cards out every five minutes

Is that the same Jason Wilcox that was a half decent winger at blackburn when they won the league?

Endo booked in the first 5 minutes. I'd put a bet on if I was that way inclined.

[Elzar]

The very same, it's weird thinking of these footballers in now coaching and director positions. Just like Richard Hughes that looks to be coming to us is the same that played for Pompey in the 00's

United are also only eight points ahead of Chelsea. It's more likely that those five teams that are within eight points of United overtake them.

He's still a better option than Antony on the right flank.

I remember Richard Hughes(i think he started at arsenal), its weird how random it is. Completely not linked to their playing ability. The likes of gerrard henry lampard shearer all proving to be shite managers. Lesser names seem to do better.

An easy way of viewing it is that they have to do the work to get to these positions. Lampard and the like go by rep and probably don't put as much work in after playing as the lesser known, lesser ability players. The big players have more opportunities elsewhere to make good money if they want to stay in football. If you don't have that reputation, you need to work your way up and prove yourself by constantly bettering yourself.

Also you can be thick as pigshit and still be a good footballer, but that's a bit harder as a manager.
