So where are they now on the cycle? Iāve lost track. Are we at misplaced optimism?
Rio absolutely stealing a living. RVP was 29 when he joined Utd and there were complaints at the time about the short termism of targeting him. As it was, he gave them 1 good season

Those pieces remind me of the death throes of the last Conservative government where you get articles weekly on how Sunak will turn it around and that they wonāt poll below 30% and there is a lot of shy Tories same paper as well.
Of course complete and utter bollocks.

I actually think things might go a little better for them this season (nowhere to go but up..). Their start is not that brutal, albeit with a difficult first match versus Arsenal. Going to Fulham the next weekend is probably the key fixture for them to get off on a better foot this season.

IDK if this has already been posted but a fascinating podcast on the decline of ManU
They should have a better season but I donāt rate their manager and they still have plenty of issues.
Saying that a worse season would be relegation so. I do think they will be top half but thatās not saying much and itās partly due to the extra rest they get. Of course if they are as shit as last year we will start to see the excuses come out.
Rounding the 3rd corner for the 5th time but this time it feels differentā¦honest.

This seems batshit - experts reckon 3 billion for the stadium and now being asked 400m for some additional land they will require. No planning permission, an arch that would make Multiplex queasy, yet they targetting a start this year and finish by 2030.
All apparently to be āfunded privatelyā - whatās the going sponsorship rate for Championship club stadiums?

If you can ignore the overt Americanness of the writing, this is a pretty good piece on what seems like ongoing confusion on Utdās transfer strategy
TLDR
- Utd are likely massively overpaying for 2 forwards who wont reproduce last seasons outlier statistical performance again, and not in a different side.
- the players who will likely make way for these guys are about the only positives Utd have from a statistical PoV
- the choice of Watkins or Sesko is not really an either/or but more as a choice between two completely different strategies and planned trajectories, but do they appreciate that?

Utd are shit because ESPN wrote a mean article about them. Itās an interesting take, but I appreciate them trying new angles. Lets see how this one works for them

Ruben Amorim Establishes Strict Code of Conduct at Manchester United
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has introduced a new code of conduct outlining clear expectations and possible sanctions for players, according to The Athletic. The rules cover punctuality, fan interaction, and overall professionalism.
Ahead of the Bournemouth friendly, Bryan Mbeumo was ironically applauded by teammates after arriving last for training ā a moment that highlighted the early impact of Amorimās standards. The Portuguese coach is determined to foster more accountability throughout the squad.

Fucking amateur. A real manager will gather the team and show them envelopes containing the names of the players who he thinks will let him down this season.
