I wonder what scripted argument Roy Keane will get caught up in later on

Sancho not celebrating, I reckon.

It’s incredible that these clowns are vying for a CL spot . The absolute dross below the top 3 

We had such an opportunity to get into the top four this season. Despite what the so-called experts say, this really is an average league. Let's be honest, for most of the season we have been awful and yet we are 12 points from sixth place with three games in hand!

Still can’t believe we got  80 mill for Maguire 

So true. I know a couple of Utd fans with season tkts. They can’t believe he’s their captain & don’t rate him. 
He’s a decent footballer (time to pick a pass etc), but not a good defender. I thought the same when we had him. 
We definitely have bought & sold superbly well, Maguire is up there with the best ‘pants down’ deal in history.

Do United even have defenders on the pitch?  

 

Looks more like a set of traffic cones

Or a concrete bollard in the case of Maguire

If we want to re-sign Harry, we need to get in line quick. There going to be huge queue for his excellent defensive positioning.

BR is dreaming of a centre half pairing of Vesty and Maguire

Cos Brendan just loves EPL experienced players no matter s*** they are

Tyler sounds like he needs a Soother, can barely get his pre rehearsed nonsense out

My sentiments exactly said that in the Maguire thread good footballer poor defender

He's not a good footballer. He can't pass the ball to a team mate unless he is two yards away.

Still think that Maguire will get a headed equalizer from a corner later on

Apologies for being wet behind the ears, but is the general feeling that Tielemans is Arsenal bound? 

That move would be a huge slap in the face for me. Of all the clubs he could go to thats the one that would annoy me the most.

He's only scored 2 goals in 28 games in the Premier League this season

Tottenham would be worse

We constantly concede to players that haven't scored in like 265 games so it doesn't mean much really.

Probably about in par for just pure 'why????'

Doesn't mean he won't make it 3 in 29. Unlikely but possible.

He’s the type of guy that looks like he will be perfect and because he can play with the ball on occasional viewing he looks great. But anyone who watched him weekly would see all his faults. 

 

Youd think football scouts would spend enough time to see this but clearly theres a lot of laziness in the game. 

 

Something we were guilty of for Musa. I always dread signing a player when the current teams fans talk about how bad they are, you know straight away that your club haven’t watched enough of the player. (Unless it’s someone who has had issues settling rather than playing issues, like youri)

I know Harry is an easy target but there are a whole cluster of expensive failures in their side - Sancho got a good goal but for 80 million quid he’s scored 3 this season . Wan Bissaka, Fred all terrible overpriced signings

At least Harry managed four assists when we beat them 4-2

Fred is awful and to think he cost £50m is beggars belief. He really is rubbish.

£40m for Lindelof, and £90m for Pogba as well. It's like us wasting £15m on Vesty and £30m on Perez

Thought Cancelo was about to bury that

So Lindelof, Maguire and Fred cost them £170m. Wow, it just makes you realise the difference in coffers of the top clubs. What a absolute waste of money,
