Need to start with the manager first! Club is too big for him.

I wouldn't agree with you there. It's individuals are letting United down at the moment and they're a far greater issue than the manager.

I didnt hear him but I imagine he comes on trying to talk like a rapper.  That clown Daniel Sturridge on Sky talking like Scoopy Scoopy Dog Dog.  'I just want to bag man'.

Come on and talk proper English like what Paul Merson does.

Ah you see there in lies the greater problem of not supporting the manager. Several of those signed were not the first choice of the manager. Case and point Harry Kane. Ten Hag’s number one target and someone the Glazers and Man Utd hierarchy deemed to old to pursue.

So to answer your question, in many cases the one who signed the players is John Murtaugh along with Darren Fletcher. Who went and signed what they believed to be the equivalent of the player the manager wanted.

The goalkeeper was Ten Hag’s first choice! He wasted £140m on first choice targets Antony and Mount! United have been grim to watch in the majority of the games this season, that’s on the manager simple as that.

What's happening with Mount? Is he injured or just not fancied?

Mount was signed to play offensively with Bruno and have Casemiro sitting, with a strong defence giving that protection to allow it.

Missing Shaw, Martinez and Casemiro for the majority of the season (Casemiro been off form when played) has meant that when ETH has attempted to play Mount, it has left him brutally exposed  and as a result has looked pretty poor. 

McTominay has been playing the role instead and has been better than Mount, added to the fact Mount has also been injured for 50% of the time.

Rumours are he is going to he sold in Jan, but I think that's nonsense and will be given another chance at some point. I'm not that excited by him, but wouldn't write him off as a failure just yet.

Mount wasn't first choice. As a frequent listener to the Talk of the Devils pod this was something discussed a few weeks ago. Ten Hag wanted someone else. They never said who though.

Utd and Newcastle doing their best to not only mess up their European aspirations this season but also England's coefficient.  At risk now of only a top 4 getting into the CL next season and not a 5th team.
