This is what it means to experience Old Trafford for the first time and see your hero
@MarcusRashford
score the winner with the last kick of the game. Will treasure this moment for the rest of our lives ❤️ Football, bloody hell.
#mufc
If United end up with an underwhelming transfer window as a result of walking away from deals, refusing to pay over the odds and being prudent in terms of wages offered, I’ll be comfortable with that. If we have to play the long game then that’s what we should do.
#mufc
The fact United are not swiftly signing every player they might have an interest in for whatever price being quoted, is now making a lot of fans ‘worried’ or ‘concerned’. Personally, seeing the way the club operates now, I’ve never been less worried or concerned.
#mufc
The transfer window started so well with Zirkzee & Yoro but I’m now concerned. The season starts next week and we’re in a worse position squad wise than we were this time last year.
No Varane & Yoro is injured. In desperate need of a CB + 2 midfielders and if anything happens
"He does deserve some credit. I actually rate ten Hag as a coach" 👏
Andy Mitten says that United are still in contention for a spot in Europe and understand why Bayern show an interest in Erik ten Hag 👀
With the amount of abuse Ole got for finishing 3rd and 2nd, imagine the shit Gerrard and Lampard would be getting for leading massive clubs to 15th and 18th… wouldn’t hear the end of it surely?
#mufc
Can't believe so many United fans seem so down at the moment. We have just avoided becoming another City, Newcastle or PSG, instead we have a local businessman with sporting pedigree about to start his gradual takeover and rebuilding of the club he loves. It's wonderful!
#mufc
Erik ten Hag is aware of reports Manchester United have been in contact with other managers. He has always wanted to stay at United but is realistic when it comes to expectations about his future 🔴
Pep just explained in his press conference that £100m player Gvardiol is stil not capable of playing the way Pep wants him to. Not much will be made of it. After all, £50m player Mount is struggling to impress in a struggling team across town.
#mufc
Barcelona and Real Madrid aren’t owned by nation states. Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Arsenal and Liverpool aren’t. Only City, Newcastle and PSG are. Why on earth would any United supporter want to join that club?
#mufc
Manchester United’s new CEO and sporting director are not even in the building yet, and fans are starting to complain about our lack of transfers (three days into the window) and lack of news regarding the manager. My advice would be to just shut up.
#mufc
We could have become another Newcastle or City - a political tool for a human rights abusing nation state. That’s not going to happen. It’s the best Christmas gift I could ever have. What a beautiful day this is.
#mufc
Could everyone who says United are now ‘finished’ as a result of not being bought by a human rights abusing nation state please stop wasting their time on this ‘finished’ club and instead find a new one which suits their wishes and demands better? Thanks guys 👍

What a surprise that you’d choose to put a negative United spin on a story that isn’t a negative for anyone. Jesse Lingard rediscovering his confidence and playing well is good news for all parties concerned. But you can’t help yourself can you?
Fascinated that after 18 years of the unpopular Glazers controlling United, the alleged takeover of that control by a wealthy man who seems to care about the club is being portrayed as a defeat and a disaster. Because he isn't a gulf state. It's a mad and sad world.
#mufc
I encourage all my fellow United fans who want a Qatari takeover of our great club to pay attention to the way City winning a fifth title in six years is being received by both their own fans and the rest of the football world. Why would you want that? What is the point?
#mufc
What has happened to all the ‘Qatar in’ people? What City are doing right now is what state ownership looks like. That’s what they wanted us to become. That’s what we avoided. That’s why 2023/24 was one of our greatest ever seasons. Keep celebrating 🥂 🔴⚪️⚫️
#mufc
We might have lost 3-0 twice in four days at Old Trafford this week, but I’m not about to forget that we might have had our most important victory in decades this season by avoiding becoming a political tool for a human rights abusing nation state. We should be celebrating.
#mufc
Imagine if Michael Carrick had been in his prime 15 years later than he actually was. In the time of ‘the pivot’, ‘the DM’ or ‘the 6’. He’d have been spoken about like Rodri is today. He did what Rodri does before people cared about that kind of thing.
#mufc
@MelissaReddy_
WHU away. A game considered to be a tough one. 60% possession. 10-4 shots on target. Hit a post. Denied a couple of pens. Restrict West Ham’s xG to 1,67 including a pen. Concede a fluke. Score two great goals. Now lets think of an original storyline. You sure did.
#mufc
McTominay scores the first goal. He assists Rashford for his equaliser. He wins the header ahead of van Dijk from the Liverpool corner at the end, leading to the counter attack for the winner. And yes, he sprints forward to join that attack too.
#mufc
@DaytrippingRed
Er det i det hele tatt mulig å se for seg Ten Hag som United-sjef ut sesongen? To kamper inn i sin første sesong som manager, the honeymoon!, ser det fullstendig dødt ut.
@jonmufc44
To expand; ETH admits that the way he wants to play is extremely difficult, which is obviously why he will need extremely good players. It’s pretty much consistent with what Pep has always said.
I don’t expect or want MEN journalists covering United to be United fans. What I expect and want is respectful, thorough, critical and balanced journalism as opposed to always looking for cheap and snidy ways to belittle players, managers and the club as a whole.
#mufc
Whether United end up being owned by Qatar or not, thousands and thousands of our own fans have disqualified themselves from ever again questioning City or Newcastle based on their owners. How? By welcoming Qatar with open arms. Well done.
#mufc
Admire this account. Proper Newcastle fans making it clear they always have been and always will be Newcastle fans but loudly and passionately opposing their owners and making it clear why. An example we should follow if we are the next state sponsored PR project
#mufc
The Saudi regime is a corrupt kleptocracy. It's no surprise that they would attempt to bend the FFF rules.
When is the
@premierleague
going to admit they made a massive error when they allowed another human rights abusing state to takeover a ⚽ club?
@leifwelhaven
Problemet er at kritikken/mitstanden i 99 prosent av tilfellene ikke handler om det dommerfaglige, så Edvartsen diskuterer egentlig ikke med noen. Svarene hans er helt God dag mann, økseskaft.
The people crying that Qatar aren’t buying United and criticising SJR for initially buying only 25% of the club are like kids unwrapping Christmas presents, not even noticing what’s inside before frantically moving on to the next one. Entitled and spoilt beyond belief.
#mufc
Lisandro Martinez deflected Ben Davies’ shot past Onana. Jonny Evans deflected Declan Rice’s shot past Onana. If any of those was Maguire we’d be reading essays about it.
#mufc
@GavinThorpe5
We operate in a way where decisions are quite clearly taken collaboratively and based on a strategy, also accepting that it will take patience and many more windows to correct the big number of mistakes made in the past. Patience and long term planning.
@Ian_Ladyman_DM
Ladyman does what so many journalists do when someone dares to criticise them.
Turns to belittling, patronising, arrogant nonsense, unable to hide their inability to accept their own medicine.
Fascinating.
Can anyone show me a link to the official apology offered to Arsenal as a result of this challenge from Sanchez? Surely that’s standard practice, not just reserved for Onana?
#mufc
The number of United fans actively welcoming Qatari ownership after years of labelling City's success hollow is just outright embarrassing. No, we don't get to choose our owners and it will still be OUR club, but we DO have the right to stand up and speak out.
#mufc
We used to hope that the Glazers would stop taking dividends. Now we’re complaining that a boyhood United fan putting an INITIAL 300 million of his own money INTO the club is ‘not enough’. I want to cry, but have to laugh 🤣
#mufc
Our fan base is completely unhinged I swear 😂
£300m out of his own pocket (exactly £300 more than current owners have invested)
That’s £100m MORE than it cost LFC to rebuild the main stand AND Anfield Road
Keeps us within FFP regs
How are people whinging at that 😂😂
@PhilipMichael91
Why should I be? I'm absolutely certain we now have brilliant people running the football operations at the club. I don't expect to get everything I want in life by tomorrow.
I completely understand that there might be financial sense in selling Scott McTominay in order to fill other gaps and create a more balanced squad. But I will be extremely sad to see him go. His presence, personality and qualities have made him a real United player.
#mufc
@MarkOgden_
Arsenal, West Ham and Leicester have scored roughly the same amount of goals as United without Ronaldo or any firepower up front really. Without Ronaldo United would have approached everything differently and could easily have scored more than they have with him.
We're told United played defensively against Spurs. But a formation is just numbers on a sheet. The only United players not in this picture are de Gea and Varane. Look at Maguire's (left) and AWBs (right positions) This is just before Bruno sets up Ronaldo for the opener.
#mufc
4-3 away win in the Premier League. Three academy players scoring. On a day when people are telling us we don’t give young players a chance. Funny that.
#mufc
@StuBrennanMEN
Read your own tweet again. Then again. Then think back to what made you want to be a football journalist. Then ask yourself whether you think you hit the target this time.
@jimmymcbride1
Great example of a presenter trying to create a narrative/stir something up. They often succeed. This time she failed. Brilliant from Mourinho. Nuanced and informed.
@HLTCO
Pretty much the equivalent of Klopp quitting Liverpool for United in the middle of the season. Not saying that justifies the banner, just offering some context.
If Dan Ashworth, Jason Wilcox etc. are basing transfer strategy on how to unlock the potential of Antony rather than develop the superior players in his position who are already at the club, I’d be slightly surprised.
#mufc
That first sentence is disgustingly and deliberately misrepresenting of what ETH said. He repeatedly underlined he didn’t want to make excuses. We all know he would have had more than enough reasonable ones if he wanted. Shameful journalism, as usual.
#mufc
Crowds are gathering at Old Trafford as we prepare to pay tribute to those who lost their lives in the Munich Air Disaster 66 years ago.
Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Jim Ratcliffe are here to pay their respects. 🙏

@MelissaReddy_
Oh for God’s sake. Where do I start? Not controlling «any» stage of the game? Now watch the first 20 minutes again. And then get back to me. We’ve got so much to talk about. The narratives I’m seeing are unbelievable.

Glad jeg har klart å oppdra datter (9) i hva United handler om, hva pre-season er, og hvor stas det er å være blant de første som ser potensielle kommende stjerner. I bilen hjem i går snakket hun bare om hvor god nummer 37 (Mainoo) var. Men dyrt? Ja.
@CBeesleyEcho
Respectfully, Christopher, what is the point of your article? Everton are entitled to want whatever they want for their player and United are entitled to bid whatever they want. It really is as simple as that. United are also entitled to rate Yoro as the better player of the two.
@ViaplayFotball
Nei. Og slutt med disse idiotiske invitasjonene til å diskutere enhver straffeavgjørelse som er tatt. Hilsen United-fan som er møkk lei av det.
@pokeefe1
@Arsenal
Well, Pogba is training with his club. Signalling that you might want a new challenge isn't exactly the same as refusing to turn up for work.
@utdarena
Yeah, because Sir Alex never said anything like that. He didn't like to put pressure on opponents, did he? Not one for mind games, him? And City didn't beat City did they? So yeah, inexcusable stuff this. And by the way, grow up.
2023/24 will stand out in history as one of United’s greatest ever seasons. Avoiding state ownership will be remembered as one of our most important triumphs. Celebrating it by beating state ownership at Wembley was a glorious ending. Time to cheer up, reds! 🔴⚪️⚫️

Wonder how the English pundits and journalists will take this. Speaking as an observer from the outside, a Norwegian who loves and supports England, I understand completely where Modric is coming from here.

@bydel16
This guy has been declared a genius and has apparently done an amazing job. The fact his team would only be five points clear of United, who have dropped six points after qualifying for the CL, must mean Ole is a genius too.
@R_o_M
Well, they passed the test that's for sure. They stuck with their club and their team. They cherished their history and believed they would come back. It's up to us to to the same.
@ManUtdFCMan
Yes. That is what it means. The important thing for Manchester United is to continually make decisions based on an attempt to build sustainable success. It is not important to make decisions that maximise the chances of immediate, but fragile success. You got my point.
#mufc
@samuelluckhurst
Did all the United journalists meet up for pints last night and agree that this is the week we all write about Donny not playing much so far?
We’ve wanted new owners for years. We’ve wanted Glazers gone for years. Why the f*** are actual United fans angry about reports of an actual United fan initially gaining a controlling majority, with plans to get all shares in years to come? Have they all lost their heads?
#mufc
Ser mange fnyser av Solskjærs 12 poeng på fire kamper, og peker på svak motstand. Er enig med kritikerne her. Motstanden tatt i betraktning burde United tatt minst 16 poeng på disse fire kampene.
@Unitedno

Rangnick just another example to prove the cluelessness, ignorance, arrogance and lack of actual sporting knowledge among a large part of the perceived ‘top’ football journalists in the UK. They don’t analyse. They don’t understand. They just prey. Embarrassing.
#media
@sampilger
Selling a player who doesn't want to be at the club for a lot of money wasn't the problem. Not getting your number one target (Haaland) in was a problem. Exploring different alternatives in a specific situation is only natural. Not everything has to be ridiculed.
Great piece. About how much it matters, and why it matters, that a boyhood Manchester United fan and not a random nation state is now taking control at the club. Sir Jim is the best thing that could happen to us.

in that it’s representative of so many other pundits. At NO point during that sequence does he explain WHY he believes Lamps is better than Ole. He just does. It’s a kind of arrogant discrimination based on... well, what exactly?

@MatsVestberg
Personlig har jeg sesongkort på Old Trafford og reiser over så ofte jeg kan. Men jeg hadde ikke vært noe mindre ekte supporter om jeg hadde sett alle kampene fra sofaen hjemme. Hva er egentlig poenget ditt? At folk ikke skal få føle det de føler?

@Gerry_Deakin
Why do people actively campaign for Qatari ownership? Based on what knowledge and which motives do you make a banner with a message of "Qatar in"?
@utdrobbo
Granada have committed about 20 fouls. 8 have been counted. Most of the fouls happened after our player passed the ball on and fouls weren’t given.
