    A clear example can be seen in a throw-in. Our players aren’t arsed about marking opposition and we always allow a throwin to an opposition player. On the reverse, we lose the ball most of the times we take throw ins

    About two years, I criticised Rashford on this sub for his substandard performance on the field and the fact that he was more focused on issues off the field, and I was heavily downvoted.

    This seems like a pretty easy criticism to make. Are there any stats to back it up? Are United running less, pressing less etc. compared to other teams? Or is this just ‘lazy’ criticism?

    I think half of this is expectation management. They were never going to be the team that Fergie had, getting top two every season as at least an aim.

    Now they just need to aim for Top 4/5 and rebuild internally. Come back stronger. They have the image and the brand and the fans globally that will follow them whatever. Stop trying to be a Fergie team and be a new age club with good values and go from there.

    They really need new owners for a start who actually care about the stadium and the club. They don’t need money thrown at them, but someone who cares about football.

    make the team more militaristic. pogba ruined ur team’s mentality. fergie used to even disallow colorful boots. start from the smallest things. stop buying cocky young players without having macho seniors like rio or vidic that will shut them up instantly. i highly doubt CR would have been successful under todays man u.

    How many times are we gonna keep listening this same shit every other year? You know the outcome. The manager gets the sack. You get Pep in, You get Klopp. Sack in the 2nd year because he’s clueless while players eating good.

    United have a culture problem. They overpay and spoil players who rest on their laurels.

    It’s pretty crazy really, they’re basically what Liverpool were in the 90s with the Spice Boys etc
