The Manchester United Thread XXII

Good point. However, United are level or ahead of Liverpool in every competition so far this season...

Please tell me you’re trolling...

There’s almost nothing between us in the PL and we’re miles ahead in the CL. The only thing you have over us is that you’re still in the FA Cup.

Can’t wait for you to put in the exact same performance against Chelsea this weekend 🙄

You Mourinho out or Mourinho change the system?

I understand fans frustration with the style of football BUT in terms of actually rebuilding the team Jose is doing great job. In terms of the football we play we have shown glimpses of great football sometimes e.g. beginning of the season we were straight fire and other times we've been really pragmatic like today.

We cannot sack him now it would be ridiculously foolish to do so with the level of progress we have made. It's like people have forgotten what we've been through with LVG and Moyes it was much worse than this. If we sack Mourinho who are you going to bring? We will just end up like Liverpool who play entertaining football but never win anything and the manager will be sacked again because people will moan we aren't winning ****....and then cycle repeats...

Let Mourinho stay finish the rebuilding this summer window and we try again next season. All we need to do is be patient, Fergie's first 3 years were horrible but look what happened.

Mourinho admitting that he didnt think Herrera was fully fit yet he still started him because of his beef with Pogba.

State of this guy.

@S.G.
Basically this tweet.


Must be hard being a United fan wanting so desperately for Mourinho to be the right manager to restore glories but seeing so little evidence of it happening.

I didn't know nothing was 2 points. As for the CL, we are both in the same round...

Chelsea used all their energy to get a draw vs Barca. Plus Mourinho wants to get one over Conte. I reckon it will be 2-0 United

so what's your excuse today for Pogba?

He got to play in his beloved 4-3-3 (in his preferred position) and McTominay of all people did better than him. That's the one positive from today McTominay played well for once.

I understand fans frustration with the style of football BUT in terms of actually rebuilding the team Jose is doing great job.

Lol McTominay did nothing special, like he has done every game. Mourinho's got you lot brainwashed into thinking this guy is actually good.

Pogba was decent. Only guy who actually wanted to attack Sevilla. Lord knows Lukaku and Sanchez didnt want to.

Martial-Pogba link up is the truth. But your manager doesn't see that.

Are you serious? He was ****.

Matic was awful as well never seen him this bad. McTominay actually had a good game and I'm not even showing any bias here/joking whatsoever (you can clearly see my previous posts where I've called him ****).

McTominay was the silent star in that midfield today for his age, he did well. The only thing he needs to add to his game is making key forward passes.

Is he though? 5 of the starting XI are not his players while against Newcastle the entire defence was Ferguson signings. He left 5 years ago and De Gea is the only worthy member. For the players he has brought in, they haven’t reached the level they were at at their previous clubs.
I think it helped massively that your opening fixtures consisted of West Ham, Crystal Palace, Swansea, Stoke, Everton. They might’ve skewed the expectation for what was to come for the rest of the season a bit I think.

I agree with you here. I can’t see United taking the risk of sacking Mourinho because in terms of absolute results rather than performance it’s been a decent season. 2nd in the league, in the FA Cup, CL quarter final should be achieved. So yes in terms of results relatively to Van Gaal and Moyes it has been a massive improvement.

Also, I don’t think you can compare attitudes of sacking managers in the 80s to 2018.
