Hopefully Sancho starts getting a proper run now. Either move Pogba central, he is meant to be a midfielder after all or bench him. Some big decisions need to be made. We spent 2 years chasing Sancho and paid £73m. Playing bit part roles won't get him into a rhythm.

Before the break we started to see real signs of progress under Rangnick, We have Pogba back now, Hannibal promoted, a part clear out this window,still in 3 comps, a new manager to look forward to, new players in that window, loan returns etc but it's all fucked at Utd apparently

Rashford is 20. Won FA Cup, Europa League, League Cup, Community Shield, played another FA Cup Final, played in a World Cup, made more than 120 apps and bagged about 40 goals so far and plays in the CL. Why would he need to leave United? 😂😂

Still laughing to myself we rocked up at the Nou Camp against the runaway La Liga leaders with big Wout Weghorst in midfield, Shaw at CB, Bruno Right wing and walked away with a 2-2 and disappointment we didn't win. 😅😅 What a manager Ten Hag is.

With no signings we now need Dalot to be fucking ace, Young to be prime Evra, Jones to not be a retard, Bailly to stay fit, Lukaku and Sanchez to bag 40 each, Jose to buy Pogba some flowers to apologise for being a dick and Martial to overcome depression. Do that and we're sweet.

The thing that blows my mind with all these excuses for Ten Hag is, in the 1st 3 games where Varane, Martinez & Shaw all started we shipped 51 shots at an average of 17 a game. 0.4 less than we're doing now. 🤣 It isn't a new thing or injury thing. Some need to wake up.

With the risk of having Pogba FC on my back is it time to accept that him going and us signing two quality midfielders who can actually play in a midfield 2 properly will make us a far more balanced side regardless of his talent?

I see United fans are being normal about selling a youth player again. Hansen-Aarron is a good prospect but just like Angel Gomes, Alvaro Fernández etc, he isn't an elite young player like Mainoo and Garnacho. And that's the level it should be.

Still gutted and pissed off at that 96th minute goal. The defending was shambolic. Especially from Lindelof. That game & last 30 v Newcastle also proved though that this team is far, far better than is made out. We have some real quality in the squad if you can get them playing

Mainoo should be in this team, Varane should be in this team, AWB should be in this team and Hojland should never be benched for Martial.

😆😅😅 Genuinely incredible this. The incompetence is astounding. Honestly thought with Murtough and Arnold things would be different this summer. I'll learn one day.

Manchester United are thought to be in the final stages of deciding where their budget will be best spent and remain confident of adding an elite player in the midfield position before the market closes. [ @David_Ornstein ] #MUFC

Mount desperate to come, Onana desperate to come and Hojland desperate to come and a United fan. Exactly what we want that.

He's bagged 51 goals and about 20 assists. 😂😂😂😂 Fuck me you'd think he'd only bagged 15 goals the way some go on.

Messi is arguably the greatest to have ever played the game but he hasn't had a better 2019 than Van Dijk. The commanding #LFC defender deserves that Ballon d'Or on Monday in Paris.

If it means selling Maguire and Jonny Evan's for a season is his replacement means we can sign both Hojland and Kane then I'm absolutely doing it btw.

Seems like Murtagh and Fletcher were the ones tasked with the search for the interim. Smart choices by football men. Who knew?
