Fair to query the Amrabat deal; age bracket + priorities (RCB). But the vision is blatant, with a lot of logistics making sense. Utd further trialing the 3-base build-up in pre season; Amrabat with a role replica of Mainoo's. RCB/CCB in rest-3 or lone pivot in 3-1-6. Suitable.

I know it’s re-surfacing, but I love it. The ‘box’ method is something I’ve touched on before, and how sides without the ball react to the trigger of a Full-back receiving next to the touch-line, to form it. Closest forward/midfielder/full-back use the touch-line to box them in.

He was given *THAT* moment to show what he’s about; the quality he has to offer. Show why he deserves opportunities. The quality behind that finish.. absolute joke. Showed character, responsibility, reliability off the ball. Trust him. There’s no reason why Ten hag shouldn’t.

You pay £100m for Antony — Don’t use him. You pay £60m for Mount — Don’t use him. You pay £50m for Onana — Don’t play to his strengths. You let your best addition 🇦🇷 have his fitness managed horribly. You play players in contradicting roles. What the fuck do we believe in

@wannabeprolol @GastonGlock007 😂Ah, makes sense now, you don’t even watch them. Go watch a few 90s, then answer your own question.

Immediate thoughts on pros & cons with Michael Olise to Manchester united? Would be rude not to (even if it’s 🗞 talk)

In another life, with all due respect to Brighton, he spends his peak years with Europe’s elites. The responsibility he’s given and owns during in-possession phases is a reflection of his character, quality, leadership & trust from De Zerbi. Sublime footballer.
