They have 3 points, until November/December they're going to dig a big hole if they don't pretend the Europa League doesn't exist
The problem with United is not only the management but the players too. Trashford leading the attack, Ashley Jones as captain, James is average at best as same at Mctominay. No coach in the world would make this team win shit with that lineup.
Not too long ago United used to have the best players in the world. Nowadays they don't even have the best player in Manchester.

Problem with United is most of their players on the pitch are about as good as their West Ham counterparts.
Sad to see
Yeah this... even their young talent, bought or bred, are no where near as good as what Chelsea and even some.of the smaller clubs like Leicester.

They've played 60 odd minutes each for the U23s. They won't be back till probably mid-October. Holding has been playing for the U23s for a month and only got into the squad for the first time on Thursday.
United doesn't have a fit striker. But Ole's said letting Lukaku and Sanchez leave while bringing nobody in was the right thing to do? They clearly were midfielders in his mind.
They still have the most promising young player in Jesse Lingard. This is probably the year he shows his tremendous upside.

Seems like a slow process. But obviously for the best to prevent further injury
Always inevitable when you put your ignorant faith in kids. As Souness said they class of 92 is an anomaly. Also Neville said Utd need a stronger spine, they've got de gea, spent 80m on maguire and big up his ability and leadership (which is way ott) all the time, they've got pogba in the middle who say what you want but he's head and shoulders above everyone else in that role for man u (yes I know he was unavailable) and then you have rashford who was labelled the next big thing and utd fans have clamoured for to be there next number 9 for the past few years. The spine is there, or at least we were told on paper it was. It's the other bits round it in my opinion where they are weak as fuck. No clear identity how they want there full backs and wide players to play and the midfielders and obviously a huge lack of talent in them areas.
Someone had to make way for their unearned wage rises.
At least Keane has joined Sky Sports, enjoy his rambles on Utd players.

Nope, went out in the final qualifying stage to Olympiacos, and it still took them until the New Year to get their season on track.
The board sold Depay for pennies to Lyon where he scores left and right in Ligue 1.

People underestimate how much of an effect playing competitive games in July/early August all over Europe when you're normally playing friendlies can have on a team's league form.
It's even worse if you look at the net balance compared to other clubs iirc. Looked at it the other day when we were talking about Everton and United was 2nd biggest spender in the past 5 years, with like 300 millions more than Arsenal (3rd).
If taking net into account I think they're even above PSG.

Our fixtures over the next 6 gameweeks are against teams we "should" be beating if we're going to be the 'best of the rest' [bou/CRY/eve/SHU/NEW/bur], I'll have a much better idea of how our season will go as a whole by the next international break but for now I'm reasonably optimistic that our days with relegation battles are over ⚒⚒⚒
Can confirm. My team also had to start playing actual decisive matches in mid/late July (we had 8 official matches in August alone) and the amount of injuries and strain on the players (since we also don't have enough resources to have proper squad depth) is real and scary. The cost of having to qualify for CL/EL in the Summer is pretty big if you're a not a wealthy team.
I can easily see us reaching a poor (physical) form in late November/December simply due to all the extra matches and traveling the same 15-16 players will have to endure week in, week out.
Thankfully the League (so far) hasn't been too awful but 5 matches in we have 3 ties, 1 defeat and 1 win. If we don't start winning more matches soon we risk forfeiting a consecutive EL participation pretty soon (we're already some 9 points behind the 1st placed team).
If you think PSG didn't spend insane money on Neymar, Mbappe. it wouldn't even be close.
I'm really fucking annoyed that the Villa Arsenal match is on now along with the Liverpool match when yesterday's mid morning match was that god awful Man City - Watford fixture. Good luck to my beautiful boys Mings and Engels. Best CB duo outside of the top 1.
Work for a year or two and get paid 10-15 million + in compensation when they let you go, sign me up. Ole probably couldn't believe his luck he is getting paid big bucks and will likely get the boot sooner rather than later and walk away with 10 million in his pocket. The club is rotten, needs sorted top to bottom, someone will do it but probably not whoever owns them and the chairman.
lol ..yeah i would also do it. But i would not do it if i already was an accomplished manager. It's like killing your future managerial career. But yeah I would do it because I am not a manager and are "poor"
