The #MUFC way is to win in style. Its to win so much, and so convincingly, that opponents have already accepted defeat before they even walk out of the tunnel.
@B03GHB4L1 Alot of people seem to think Mainoo is something he isnt. Mainoo is below average out of possession and is above average, but not elite, in possession. He just isnt better than Rice or Anderson at anything. He is like Baleba without the physicality.
@sulkfenomeno After the year they've had, Arsenal and Man City players particularly will be knackered by the time the new season begins. This season could be a big opportunity for Man Utd considering how well rested our team is. If only the club does what's needed in the transfer market.
that's the end of an era for the English national team. many of those familiar faces wont be present at the 2030 World Cup. A lot of experience will be lost and a new cycle will have to begin. We may rue this missed opportunity for some time. #ARGENG
Kone's looked careless since he came on tonight. He looks like a player who really needs to pace himself to avoid injury. Not sure he can put up prem level intensity consistently. #MUFC
🚨 Manchester United are reaching out to defensive midfielders’ agents ahead of next signing, a DM after Santos and Tielemans.
Manu Kone among players being mentioned in internal talks and with initial approach on player side; not the only one.

@the_art_of_7 Its not enough having only one (injury prone) engine for a 50/60 game season. Also you really think this holds a candle to our neighbours who boast Rodri, Kovacic, Gonzalez, Reijnders, Anderson and possibly Bouaddi? Not so sure.
@alfiecoulson08@saundzo they probs will but we need at least 2 of that profile (since one player cannot start all the games) and now we will only get 1 after this tielemans deal.
@alfiecoulson08@saundzo sure but the rest of our team and the league is still geared for big spaces / transitions. you cant compete for the league and be poor at those aspects. utd now need to sign very fast CBs to prevent a regression (which they wont do this summer).
@lebzygold its seems the club see santos as a tchouameni alternative/casemiro replacement and tielemans is the alternative to mateus who will be in rotation with mainoo. they will expect santos to win the ball on the ground, in the air, and snuff out transitions. bad news.
Obviously Tielemans is a great player, but what exactly is the plan here? Are him and Kobbie competing for the same position? Because they absolutely cannot play together in a double pivot. A bit of an oddity.
@onchainkhal@saundzo they started together 2 times last season. first was a draw vs sunderland and the second was a meaningless end of season game vs brighton.
@Adroit_Cadet tielemans doesnt do anything on the ball mainoo cant and he doesnt do anything oop that the balance of our midfield demands. waste of money.
@Erwin6_ mainoo, tielemens, santos all slow and poor in air. they all need a 'security guard' to partner with. none of those 3 can play with each other in a pivot. why sign tielemens when you have mainoo? makes no sense. hints club see santos as the 'security guard' type which is very bad
@alextalksall we needed at least 2 fast + good in the air midfielders this summer with our backline being the way it is and the loss of ugarte & casemiro. new we can probs only get one after tielemans. bad signing imo
