    His food charity caused a mind **** the last time, now he's parted company with his fiancé (his choice evidently) and his brother has been nicked for doing an Antony - seems like £350k per week can't buy happiness..........poor lad.
    If that was me I'd go to the cash machine, press a few keys, check my balance and be as happy as ****, what it it with these footballers

    LOL. But that’s the thing, the great bank balance alone is a tool that can bring its own chaos that needs to be managed. I think most of them struggle with the burden placed on them directly or indirectly by those around them.

    I guess we can never understand the burden of being mega rich and very young. Haha

    In the case of Rashford, he's not even that young.

    I'd understand if his head was turned when he first came onto the scene, but he's 26-27 now and a senior squad member.

    By the rime he got his mega contract, which he dug out of United over a number of months with the threat of leaving never far away, he should have been ready to handle it.

    Show some proper commitment for your £350k a week please. Mate.

    Not to blow smoke up your arses, but for all the heat Ten Hag has caught this season, Man United are top of the PL form table ;)

    Of all the recent results, the Palace one was the most disappointing. We should have never lost that at home. But such is our story… should have, could have!

    So much noise about the club at the moment, stories from the dressing room, reporters being barred from pressers - it's all very negative and can only end one way - badly.

    Whatever the truth or otherwise of some of these press reports (and these are top bods from Sky, ESPN and MEN we're talking about, not some minor hacks - so will have well placed sources) it highlights the level of unrest and a complete lack of unity among the squad. Too much training, too much running, ETH is to rigid and aloof - it just goes on and on, it appears that some players have polar opposite views to the manager and are making it plain for everyone to see.

    This coming game at home to Chelsea will be critical, if Rashford plays the way he did at Newcastle, the die is cast. The lad has no excuses, same as he didn't have last weekend because he didn't play in Turkey mid-week, he's 26 now, not a kid, he's a senior figure in the dressing room, so if he can't be arsed, it becomes infectious. If he plays, and he plays badly I can see this all coming to a head in ther lead up to Christmas.

    The bottom line is that he's the manager and they need to stfu and do what is being asked of them.

    The fact they're not giving 100% means they lose every right to complain. They can fck off.

    And Rashford & Martial should NOT be playing tomorrow. The dye was cast against Newcastle.

    And I'll add this to show just how FULL OF **** these players are. When Ole was there, he was their pal, their best buddy, casual training, got what they wanted, they had it easy (the polar opposite of what they're complaining about under Ten Hag) Right? We all agree? And yet they also didn't give a fck back then either.

    So fck 'em.

    I swear to God if it was possible, I'd want Ten Hag to sling them in the reserves... or what used to be called the reserves!

    Have them nowhere near the first team and pick his players and that's all.

    ^^^^^^^

    All correct.

    I don't recall Alex Ferguson being the player's best mate, does anyone else?


    And as for Rashford, if he doesn't try tomorrow then the home crowd will nail him.

    Trouble is, the scheming bastard will most likely dart around the pitch like a man demented, probably scoring a goal even. On £1.2m a month the ****er can't possibly expect the fans to cut him any slack - you bleed for the shirt or you can **** off.

    Chelsea game on Amazon Prime apparently.

    Why are we even talking about him trying in the next game. He should not be playing, period! For me, ETH is to blame for playing a player that is consistently out of form. It is actually ridiculous because it is costing the team dearly. You can’t have untouchables in a team. Every single player must earn their place in each match.

    Potter of all people being linked with the club if ETH is sacked. FFS, we need a manager that the players will look up to and admire, not a Chelsea reject.

    Not at all, he's my pick. He did well at Chelsea, he steadied the club, won the double and performed steadily in Europe and ended up with the PL's third highest win rate and, of course, since then he has developed even further as a top-class manager.

    Potter, by contrast, was fine at Brighton but let's be realistic, as many have found to their cost, managing a club the size of United isn't the same.

    but both were binned by Chelsea .
    i was just making the point that "failure" at a particular club ,especially one like Chelsea , doesn't mean a manager should be written off after all Poch is doing no better than Potter did .

    But look at Ancelotti's CV, it speaks for itself, he has managed at the top level throughout Europe for several decades, Potter is a mid-table manager at best.

    Potter wasn't ready for the Chelsea job and he definitely isn't ready for the United job and what goes with it.

    He needs something in-between and some success to ever be considered.

    IF Ten Hag gets the push, it would have to be someone capable of managing at the very tiop. Ancelotti certainly fits that bill.

    I genuinely think we've got to get Ratcliffe in and him (hopefully) set things up properly to support our actual manager.

    It just is not an accident or councidence that Ten Hag and his predecessors post Ferguson have encountered the very same problems.

    Those problems are the Glazers, Woodward, and the recruitment they oversaw, and still do.

    I say if Ten Hag goes we bring in Guus Hiddink.

    I refuse to accept a Dutch manager can't bring us success. Third time lucky?

    Also ex-chelsea of course but he knows how to manage at the top.

    Find out where he is, dig him up if you have to and cart him into OT in a wheelbarrow.

    Up the Hiddink!

    Real Madrid has allegedly made a £40m bid for Greenwood. Barcelona also interested. The Getafe manager is quoted as saying they've managed to get a great player on loan.

    Greenwood has scored five goals and four assists in 15 appearances for Getafe this season and he's now a regular in their starting team after beginning the campaign on the substitute bench.
