Might be because I’m fairly young but I don’t remember a Man Utd team as bad as this. Long may it continue though.
it took sir hairdryer a few seasons to sort them out, and at ine point he was almost handed a one-way ticket back to aberdeen. they are 6th in the top division, you know. lots of teams wish they were that bad.
Others on this forum have made the same pithy, unoriginal comment. By their own standards they’ve set, they’re **** and failing. Last time they won a league title was 9 years ago. Last trophy they won was nearly 5 years ago. 6th in the Prem would be great for Hull City; not so much for Manure.
There's something seriously wrong at Man United that world class managers like Van Gaal and Mourinho and not win anything substantial. They bring in Ronaldo and they STILL can't manage higher than fifth. I grew up watching players like Mark Hughes, Roy Keane and Paul Scholes, that squad in the 90s was class and it doesn't feel like the owners are interesting in emulating that. United should be signing players that are at the top of their game, they should be able to stroll into the transfer market and sign Lewandowski, Neymar etc. But they don't. They go for these players that aren't going to be any better than mid table PL players. Dan James (sorry mate), Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, really bizarre. Looking at their centre halves, why the **** is Phil Jones still there? They hung onto Marcus Rojo for ages as well. Meanwhile you look at Man City (who I know have infinite money) and everybody they sign turns to gold. It's like the owners want them to do just enough for fans to go "meh, that's alright I guess". I really don't give much of a **** about Man U, but as a general football fan I find it baffling that they continue to choose mediocre players instead of investing and challenging at the top. English representatives in Europe you want to be competitive, this lot couldn't even get out of the group stages of the CL.
and unoriginal people like you have you made the same response. well done. some of us are old enough to remember a string of failed managerial appointments from the end of sir matt busby via a season in the second flight (following a season in which goalie alex stepney was at one point leading scorer due to taking penalties) and a handful of fa cup success to ferguson fixing the problem after a 26 year gap. so history repeats itself as a series of allegedly big name managers try in vain. since then liverpool recenty won the league for the first time in 30 years. despite "stevie g".
some on here grew up reading football books when they had no tv. some on here have memories that go back 50+ years.
Harry when he launches a crunching last-ditch tackle on his 3-year-old daughter in the park to prevent her from scoring.
How would you know if "Some on here" had been supporting City since 1904? They'd tell you, every ****ing day...
Not disagreeing but the last half of it is entirely subjective. The media onslaught is too far but you can’t be coming out saying he’s been one of the best players this season after you’ve just lost 4-0 to your biggest rivals.
If I cost north of £80 million and was on a salary of six figures a week and my sister went on social media to say ‘stop being mean to my brother’, I’d be embarrassed. In this case, it looks like it’s fake and not really from his sister.
