The Man Utd thread

8 defeats in their last 12 league matches.

15th in the table.

Allowing Spurs to do the league double over them.

Bwahahahahahahahaha

It’s a shame the promoted clubs have been so bad, as otherwise, with the injuries they have, I think there’d be genuine concern they could go down.

Everton and Ipswich are their next 2. First will be Moyes putting space between him and his ex employer. Second will be former prospective Utd manager closing the gap to 8 or 9 points

They’re getting to be even more spursy than Spurs. :rofl:

On pace for a 44 point season.

Going into the summer needing yet another rebuild but with no European football, PSR constraints and likely needing to sell some of their better players to raise funds.

No idea how they’ll get rid of the likes of Antony, Rashford and Casemiro given the wages they’re on and with how desperate they are I’d be amazed if they got decent money for them if they do.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Fernandes push to leave too.

Not sure how they get to be favourites for the Europa League.

English, the United brand name, etc.

You’ll be cheering them on to get a result against Arsenal, you know! That’s about the only thing keeping me from truly enjoying their current predicament…

Of course… doesn’t stop me laughing at how awful they’ve been.

Odd how Antony seems to be able to hit the target in Betis.

They’ve gotten worse under Amorim.

He will not be the manager at the end of next season

At this point, I would be surprised if he is the manager at the start of next season, let alone the end.

There has been nothing from hiring Amorim. No bounce. Not even keeping up with the poor record of his predecessor, who was fired because of it. From a very low point they have gone backwards, the cupboard seems to be bare, they have PSR trouble, the stadium is crumbling and they still can’t get rid of a few players they need to ship out because of their high wages.

You love to see it.

Yeah “this is the worst Manchester United side ever”.

Motivational speech there.

You might be right. INEOS has gone through six managers in six years at Nice.

This would have been far more enjoyable if we hadn’t managed to drop 2 points against them at Anfield, no less.

Worst result of the season, that one.

I don’t recall there being such a wage problem as United have right now when FSG took over Liverpool. Joe Cole, Gerrard, Carra, maybe Mascherano? Glen Johnson? Outside that, there was a massive dropoff in terms of wages and player value.

A lot of the overturn our club needed happened organically as the club was asset stripped, just out of the need to survive. United didn’t really ever reach a perilous point financially so they never made those moves naturally earlier.

Mentioned right at the beginning of Amorim’s stint, that he would fail.

As a coach you have to be adaptable in the way you setup, yes any formation can morph as a game fluctuates, but you still have to go with a formation that matches your players. Also, a 3 5 2 formation isn’t the norm, so finding the right players is harder.
