Manchester Utd Thread

I'd have him as a better player than Maguire. Totally over rated

 

I see Bruno Fernandes is close to signing. Another £60m spent by the Glazers, who somehow people see as the problem for not investing in the squad

It's not the question you asked but I wouldn't swap Joe Gomez for Harry Maguire at the moment. 

I don't disagree. The defence is the least of Uniteds worries right now. There are problems galore in that side, but last summer Solskjaer and many others believed that 2 positions were now sorted into the future.

For United to be back challenging at the very top of European football though, those 2 signings last summer have compounded problem signing after problem signing. Simply put, neither were the answer to their CB and RB issues and if United are to kick on over the next few years and actually challenge again (hard to see it happening), both of those players will need to replaced as first team starters. 

On Gomez/Maguire I don't think anyone watching full matches of Gomez over the past 2 seasons would have Maguire ahead of him. Gomez is still raw but getting better and better, Maguires strengths are massively over rated. United got sold a bog standard PL defender for a world record fee.

Ole got £140m in the summer to spend, and heres another £60m now

United are among the top spenders in most transfer windows. If they aren't picking the right players that's not the Glazers fault IMO

 

It is when they refuse to appoint someone who is actually capable of putting a plan in place for footballing matters. It's been over a year now since they told us they were going to bring in a director of football. Still waiting on that one...

The Glazers hired a businessman to look after the sporting aspects of the club of course it’s their fault, they don’t really care if the club is winning as long as the club continues to make them money.

I suspect you’re on the wind up here Baggio.

 

I think it's fairly obvious he wouldn't get near Sheffield United's team. He'd have a shot at Bournemouth alright but given they'll probably be in the Championship next season that just reaffirms my point!

Do you not think it's absolutely mental that AWB needs to improve his attacking play, yet was signed for 50 million was it? There are so many players out there that could have been bought by United that would give them a far better attacking outlet at RB. It seems that Solskjaer and by extension United have now bogged themselves down into some sort of deep counter attacking system that will be very hard to shake unless completely different players are brought in. It's a setup going nowhere short and long term.

I like AWB as a player but he should be playing with teams in mid table imo. The likes of Max Aarons would have offered a far far higher ceiling as a player over the next few years at half the price last summer. It's just bizarre decision after bizarre decision on the transfer front by United and tbh it's actually getting worse imo with Solskjaer there.

I remember someone in the summer on here telling United fans that repeatedly!
