Why isn't that a booking, but taking your shirt off is?

Probably because sponsors don't spend millions to advertise on corner flags.

Man Utd pish under Jose, Man Utd pisher under Ole,
Mangers will take the blame, but same players, same shite !!! Young, Smalling, Jones, and the worst Pogba !!!

Pogba has managed to hit the woodwork twice with 2 decent attempts what has the actual striker rashford managed?

How you can only name 4 players is amusing there is a squad full of players who lack the effort and the ability to be at a team that should be challenging for the title.

Anyone think Solskjaer won’t start next season

Me. It seems that he, like Mourinho, has lost the dressing room. There are several top players who want to leave and can't be bothered. The rest are simply not good enough.

It's unlikely that Woodward will trust OGS to rebuild the squad. Blowing Champions League football for next season will affect the budget significantly.  Top players don't want to play in the Europa League. 

There was no need to give OGS the job permanently after the honeymoon period. It now looks to be another very expensive mistake. If the board have any sense, they'll go for a proven EPL manager with European experience. Rafa Benitez could be a decent shout and he's available for free.

They are an absolute basket case from top to bottom. The brilliant thing is that it'd take a manager 5 years to turn them around and no-one will ever get that time.

Hardly! Benitez would jump at the chance to take over at United. IIRC Liverpool sacked him a few months after finishing 2nd in the league.


He’d be all over that. It’d be a great appointment.

You remember totally incorrectly. He left after finishing 7th. He still should never have been sacked but the club was in the wrong hands.

Exactly and that’s why there’s not going to be any Rafa at Okd Trafford. Would be hilarious for the meltdown amongst the fans mind.

Totally. Part of the problem seems to be the lack of acceptance of where they are, and the 'old boys' network that still seems to run through the club. Why is Ferguson involved? It's as if they think it gives more support to the manager because if Ferguson is backing him, then the fans feel obliged to. Why appoint Solskjaer, other than the fact he played for the club? Well there was no other reason. He then appoints Carrick and Phelan, two more guys from the Ferguson era. Then on top of all that there is talk of Ferdinand, Fletcher and others being involved in some capacity. Not saying there is any issue with having people at a club who retain some of the 'essence' of that club, but it is so clear that Man Utd need to shake off the Ferguson era and start to build a new identity. At the moment they are desperately clinging to their old one.

Whilst getting the right manager is important, it's not going to matter until they get everything else sorted first - that means getting rid of Woodward, clearing out most of the squad, and then deciding what kind of club they want to be in the next 20 years rather than desperately trying to claw back the Ferguson days. This summer is huge for them, at the moment they are going to become what Liverpool became in the 90s/00s after their period of dominance, a big club who will win the odd cup, but never be serious title challengers. In some ways they already are, that's now 6 years since they last won the league, and they wont be winning it any time soon.

You tell him
c**t


Why are you calling me a c**t?

Also Fergie didn’t exactly hand pick Moyes, he was about his 7th choice with Pep being his first before he took the Bayern gig.
