Lol huge achievement for Utd
Almost equivalent to winning the Champions League. Amorim not getting sacked in the morning.
Looks they turned a corner today. Utd are back
[insert Rio gif]
Every ManU match I see these days, I laugh thinking that Inter signed Onana on a free, had reservations about him during the season, then sold him for £43M after he had a couple of solid games in the CL knock-out rounds.
Onana certainly is taking the majority of the blame for that debacle today but I think itās remarkable that a defender who has come through the Ajax academy then played at Juventus and Bayern Munich doesnāt seem to recognise the situation and gives the GK absolutely no help, he actually looks like heās falling over when Onana passes to him.
Every team heās ever played for plays out from the back, how was he so unprepared?
United boss Ruben Amorim only views nine players in his squad as āunsellableā, with Portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes, 30, and Argentina winger Alejandro Garnacho, 20, among the names at risk of being sold.
As many as 9 LOL you gotta be kidding
Thatās Amorim youāre talking about.
At the end of Kloppās first season he believed he had only 2 - Bobby and Lallana. Yet 2 years later heād make a CL final and a picked a team with a further 3 players he inherited whoād had to battle to prove to him they belonged.
Man for man they are much better than the side Klopp took over. The questions to me are if any of them he isnāt sold on are willing to humble themselves the way Hendo and Milly did to becomes important to the new regime, how many of them are willing to āpush the busā for as long as it takes to get moving, and how well can he identify the toxic ones of who donāt fall into that category and how quickly he can get rid of them.
I think he was done in for drugs.

The contract with Ajax ran out in the meanwhile.
Antony too surely. Whoās going to buy him with his wages?
Sureā¦but Inter got him for free, and were not that thrilled. He was erratic for them, playing in front of one of the best defenses in Serie A, and they finished 1 spot lower. ManU solved a problem for them by taking it off their hands for 40M+
Shell-shock from being at United?
Not disagreeing with this. He cost them the league that season. Itās just that the reason he was free was because his drug ban happened during his last months of the Ajax contract. Another matter is whether Inter would have gone for him had he not been a free agent.
Iām not sure if he means that he wouldnāt want to sell them, or if no-one would want to buy them.
I was puzzled by that too ; if itās the former then Iām honestly struggling to think of nine players that he thinks he couldnāt do without.
Is Jonesy still there?
I fucking love this period of my football following life.
It truly is a Golden Age.
Sadly not, retired last year at the ripe old age of 31.
I donāt think we can lose for the derby. Either United lose or City get less than 3 points. Itās win win win and Goldbridge is whistling all the way to the bank.
A point I made once under Klopp. If youāre not enjoying this, you really donāt get it.
