Manchester United

He knows he dosent fit into rubens tactics

Not good enough to play lone striker
Not skillfull or clever enough to be a 10

Not gonna be a wing back
He got dropped because of his lack of effort in training (and rightly so). Garnacho is the same. Its a shame for the lad because when he does put the effort in, he can be a real handful, but he seems to have checked out. I'd agree that he's not a 9 or 10, but he certainly has all the attributes to be a top class winger (minus the effort).

Utd have a real problem with his wages though. Nobody is going to match his 350k per week wage, and he's contracted until 2028! If they want to take a decent fee for the lad, they will have to either pay out his contract or at least subsidise it, meaning a lower sale fee.
 
Amorin doing the ten Haag playbook v2.

Getting rid of players like Rashford, Antony, Casinmero who are just absolutely awful players. rashford is finished.
 

Just watched a video on BBC football about them building a new stadium. Some of their fans genuinely seem to believe they are on a par with Real Madrid. Staggering levels of delusion.

Hope they slide even further away from the pinnacle of English football, and spend a prolonged period there. Will do their fan base some good.

Talk to most of their fans and they'll try to tell you they're not on a par with 15 times Champions of Europe Real Madrid, but actually a bigger club.

They way the club promote themselves as the the 'biggest club in the world' has grated me for years. They even get new signings to say it.

They were the top side in England during the period the Premier League became a global ‘product’ and have done very well out of it. They’ve got lots of trophies and are a big club. Still doesn’t make them equal or superior to 15 time European champions Real Madrid.

I’ve never been fond of them, and Jim Ratcliffe is a monumental bellend, so seeing them fail is great fun to watch.

On par with the RS and the Geordie's for deludedness, but I feel their misguided belief in their own self worth is what is holding them back.

Since Fergie left I've felt they have always chosen managers and players based upon their brand value, shirt sales, or over the hill mega stars instead of the balance of the team.

Amorim looks to be a good choice for manager, but I'm not convinced they will get the recruitment right.

Amorim is top class. We should have gone for him last summer. Very nearly went to West Ham.

He'll need time but will get them cemented into the top 4 within a couple of seasons.
 
He’s only got an 2.5 year contract- which shows even UTD are not sure about the fella.
Maybe, or maybe it's a reflection of how Ratcliffe and Ineos run as a business model, which isn't always great for the staff who work there.

Their root and branch review, led by a scouse RS*, was done in a way that is typical with their modus operandi of reshaping failing or fledgling industries.

It wasn't run in a way that you'd normally attribute with a football club, so the shorter contract length would suggest they want quick changes with lower risk to them.

This is about improving their top line - nothing more, nothing less. Upsetting people along the way, including the fans, won't be something they'll worry about.
