re: Manchester United Season Long Thread 2024/2025 Because United are going Bilbao!!!!!!!

I was actually in Etihad for the Derby. My first EPL match to attend. I was sitting in the City section so couldn’t celebrate the goals but watching the United fans cheer them was almost just as great! I mean…I could have celebrated them but wouldn’t have been worth the trouble lol

Yea getting beat up and or thrown out isn’t worth it

Rashford announces he is ready for a new challenge away from Manchester United. Sad end to a promising young talent, he had all the tools to be one of the best players in the world but unfortunately he lacks mental maturity. Telegraph article linked below:

Seriously the stories that have come out since the departure of all those guys is wild. Chronic lateness, didn't care about fines because they were all making $200k+ a week, ignoring coaching instructions because "it wasn't the best for them", Rashford and Lingard turning down the captains band and interviews, Leaking rumors and team sheets. fricking shite show.

Luke Shaw would be the final hold out, he is straight up stealing a wage.

Final straw for Shaw was this summer. Didn't play 90% of the season for us, rushes back to play for England. Comes back to summer training injured, has been sidelined ever since. He should have never been allowed to do that. Now he's damaged goods and we won't get a dime for him.

Rashford effectively said he’s ready to leave

Rashford has been checked out for a long time. He was such a dynamic, confident and assertive player coming up and into the first team and he barely looks like a shell of his old self. His miracle season a few years ago was him chasing a contract and nothing more.

I'll be glad to see him go. This squad needs passion and drive more than anything else at the moment.

I mean, look at Maguire. That dude literally got fricking booed at Old Trafford and he is out here now bodying Haaland.

Our attacking players outside of Diallo are championship level. As I’m watching us get throttled 3-0 at home to Bournemouth, their squad is way better than the one we trotted out today.

Facts. Getting worried about Ineos leadership

Yep, Ol Ralf said it a few years ago and we are still in the same situation because it hasnt happened yet. He was an average manager but he knows how to build a squad... I guess his bluntness hurt some feelings.

Until we have a core of consistency, I care more about bringing culture and character in than chasing "the next big thing"...even if it means looking at older and less talented guys. The floor of this squad is way too low for a club like United and it impacts development of all these academy players we keep pinning our hopes on. It's dysfunction of the highest order.
