Agree, and he’ll have more pull than Moyes ever would have.

I can’t see him being as good as Klopp / Pep with his signings. Plus Man U need to catch up with those two in terms of squad quality.

An elastic band would have more pull than that lame fucker.

Maybe but which other currently available manager would be able to come in in the summer & do a better job? (Apart from Fat Sam natch)

Why not ? British and Scandinavian players will still want to sign as its Utd.
I’d imagine Utd fans would be quite happy with some players like Ole , Ronny Johnson , Denis Irwin , Bruce.

Whether the FIFA playing generation of fans would be happy with non global superstars is another matter.

After Brexit it won’t matter anyway. :joy::joy::joy:

I don’t think he has the nouse / gravitas.

…is a cunt!

(Yeah, yeah I know - it’s now become an instant reaction / obsession whenever I see that name mentioned in relation to football :wink:)

I suspect you’re right, but we just don’t know, do we? That’s what I find so extraordinary about him getting the gig, there are a bazillion question marks over what they’re getting.

OTOH, and fool could have told you that agent Moyes was gonna end badly.

Right, Utd fans - how’s Rashford doing these days? 1 goal in 7 is a pretty poor return (to put it mildly) - is he out of form, out of postion, out of Kleenex - what’s up?

(Should he be in my fantasy team this weekend, is the underlying question)

Rashford is very young and raw. A long way from being any kind of finished article. But they need to persist with him (although maybe not for every match) such that he can improve.

City play Fulham. Why would you not include Aguero and/or Sterling?

Rashford’s goals stop when Lukaku plays. He scores more when Lingard and Martial play, as they create space for him and his pace. Lukaku lumps around slowly and eats space in front of the 18 yd box.

Lukaku tends to come inside and so Rashford has to move to the wing.

Strikers are not machines and go through dry patches, and as has been said he is only 21.

I am doing. It’s a question of who else.

Are you in the fantasy league, Olan?

@ICHM thanks. I’m not being critical of Rashford as such, as fantasy footy has little to do with real life…but as Lukaku seems to have knack, Rashford seems to be on the menu

Nope. I couldn’t get interested in it a few years back and didn’t join again since.

Even with a few gameweeks to go I can’t see you being caught.

Perhaps / probably not, but you never know. TBH my main goal is just to be top 1k

wrong thread!

Mino Raiola is scum and needs banning from the game as a blood sucking leach.

If Pogba’s agent is trying to move him for another pay day, we should just tell him and Pogba that he can leave in two years time after he has been sat on the bench for two years and not played.

He is a good player and he sells a lot of shirts, but he is not bigger than many a player who has been before him.

If I was United, I would refuse to deal with certain agents and just shut them out. We have enough great youngsters that we don’t need these players.

I would also refuse to sell to Barcelona and Real Scum full stop. Real think they can get him for less than Euro70M, they are in dreamland. They have no cash at all as the bank statements they issue are a week before the six monthly player pay goes out and they go negative at the bank. They can’t even afford Euro400M for the ground re-design and the Spanish banks have stopped lending to them as the long term loans (never stated by Real) are not being paid off. Real only state short term debt. In reality they are about Euro500m in debt.

Modern football, all about money and bending the rules to suit themselves.
