Manchester United win the league
🚨🗣️ Gary Neville: "There cannot be any consideration that Michael takes the job beyond this season, for Michael and for the club.
"If he wins every game, look, we could be sat here in the season where he's done unbelievably well, and we're always thinking the fans are up and they're in the Champions League places, fifth or whatever. It could happen if there's a good run and we could all be getting swayed with it.
"I honestly feel like at the end of the season when you've got Pochettino, Tuchel and Ancelotti."
🗣️ Paul Scholes on Senne Lammens earlier this season:
"You buy this lad from Belgium. What's he cost €20m (£18.2m). I think that tells you everything about him at this point. 'It tells me he's (Lammens) not a top goalkeeper.
As soon as that man (Donnarumma) became available, drive to Paris, go and get him, give him whatever he wants."
Imagine for one second if an Arsenal player, who was extremely fortunate to not get sent off, on two different occasions, came out in the media after the game and acted like this.
Rodri should be getting it from all angles, media, FA etc. over the next week. Let's see.
🚨🗣 Talksport presenter Katie Shanahan:
"Why is it always Manchester United former players, its more than any other team, we don't see this from the likes of Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool, Spurs."
"Its always Manchester United that seem to have too much criticism from former players." 🤔

🚨🗣 Gabriel Agbonlahor slams "bitter" Roy Keane as he reacts to Butt and Scholes' feud with Lisandro Martinez:
"You are seeing a lot from the Manchester United ex players, look at Roy keane to me he's an angry bitter man the way he talked about Legend Sir Alex Ferguson hanging around like a bad smell"
"How angry he was at Jonny Evans getting a job, How angry he was about Carrick getting the job bringing up Carrick’s wife, Sometimes these players have got like Agendas and bitter of things that happened in the past"

💣🔥🔥CRAZY NEWS: Michael Carrick’s training sessions have reportedly blown the Manchester United players’ minds.
The squad is said to be hugely impressed with his methods, with tactical meetings keeping everyone on high alert.
[@indykaila]
Maybe Ten Hag’s & Amorim’s methods weren’t so impressive after all! 😶
Man Utd dream scenario over next six months.
- Ole comes back, repeats caretaker form
- Qualifies for CL, finally wins a trophy (FA Cup)
- Walks away a hero after how it ended before
- United get huge financial boost to aid rebuild
- Shed huge contracts in 2026 & make key signings
- Luis Enrique fancies a go from there and everything is great again forever and ever more
🇵🇹 Ruben Amorim at Manchester United this season:
▪️ "He's not the man for the job"
▪️ "He doesn't get the club"
▪️ "His system doesn't suit the players"
▪️ 25 points in the league
🇮🇹 Enzo Maresca at Chelsea this season:
▪️ "He's really growing into the role"
▪️ "His passion is incredible"
▪️ "He handles the squad well"
▪️ 25 points in the league
Perception is key. 🔑
Gianluigi Donnarumma has saved 58% of the shots he has faced in the Premier League this season, the 3rd worst record in the competition:
.

.
21st G. DONNARUMMA 58%
22nd Alisson 56%
23rd Bayindir 54%
Flop. 🧤
🚨🎙️ | Fabrizio Romano with a special message for Harry Maguire on Instagram:
"Harry Maguire deserves a special post, in my opinion. Might sound as a different one… but I believe it’s worth it, for football fans and not only.
"Just few days after his late goal at Anfield, becoming Man United’s unexpected hero (once again…), Harry’s story from these years keeps going round in my mind.
"It’s too easy now to forget what happened, what he’s had to go through for years and years since he joined Manchester United for that huge transfer fee in 2019.
"But players don’t control the transfer fee… that’s just about the clubs. They’re not robots. They usually try their best to perform, and sometimes it doesn’t work.
"Harry didn’t have any responsibility for that fee… but the level of abuse, attack, stupid posts, “memes” and unfortunately much more on all social media platforms has been something unprecedented. It was horrible.
"Imagine every week, getting abused just because your performances are not the best ones at your job. It can happen to anyone… but with Harry, what he suffered (and he wasn’t the only player underperforming, not at all…), that was way too much. That was unacceptable.
"Also, I’m sure 50% of people attacking him especially from abroad didn’t even follow or watch the games. It was just easy method: turn on your account, make fun of Maguire. But football is a lovely jungle sometimes.
"Harry never complained. Never overreacted. Never commented or hit back to anyone. Hard work. Keep going. Never giving up. Follow your dream to be Man United player at best level possible.
"No more captain’s armband? Also no problem. Stay focused. Help your teammates. Play at your best and give 100% in every game or training session.
"Maguire wasn’t a terrible player back then, he’s not a Ballon d’Or today. It’s about moments. Football, sport, life. A story valid for all the football fans, players, also other sports’ lovers… and normal people.
"After Anfield goal, he said: “I’m so happy because I’ve been in love with this club for years… and because for one day, our fans can be happy. They deserve it”.
"Let people talk. Let people criticise. Don’t give up on your dreams. Work harder. Give your best, always… and then beautiful things will come. ❤️👊🏼"
diogo dalot is one of those footballers when you watch a small clip of him you will think he’s terrible but when you watch him for a full 90, you’re absolutely right
Late night 'session' in Belfast the night before training.
Arriving to team meetings late.
Partying on the evening of a derby defeat.
just to name a few..
Was this all the cause of an 'inconsistent environment'.
Victim mentality is weak.⤵️
🚨The English media are at it again!
Benjamin Šeško scores 2 goals in a struggling Manchester United side — and suddenly he’s “not adapting,” “not good enough,” and “under pressure.”
Meanwhile, Florian Wirtz was bought for £130M, Alexander Isak for a Premier League record £150M, and they’ve got 0 GOALS combined… yet somehow, silence. Not a whisper. No outrage. No hit pieces. Just excuses.
Where’s that same energy for Wirtz? For Isak? For Gyökeres at Arsenal, who hasn’t exactly lit it up either? The truth is simple — when it’s a Manchester United player, the media can’t wait to create drama, pile pressure, and spin negativity.
Šeško is 22, adapting to the hardest league in the world, already showing hunger and potential. But instead of giving him credit, the media want clicks and chaos.
Funny how when others flop, it’s “patience and adaptation,” but when a United player breathes wrong, it’s “crisis at Old Trafford.”
Keep talking. Šeško’s doing his part on the pitch — 2 goals more than your £280M ‘golden boys’ combined. #MUFC
🚨 Rio Ferdinand
“Playing for United ain’t football, it’s survival. Wirtz goes for £100M & no one blinks, Pogba got back for £89M, carried the club & still got cooked weekly. The bar the legends set? A blessing & a curse..breaks players before rivals do” https://t.co/4CEH4EfX4X
🚨⚽️ | FIVE BIG opportunities to score
0:00 - Amad doesn’t pass first time
0:10 - Bruno Amad wide open
0:16 - Mbeumo miss kick
0:26 - Amad miss kick (bicycle kick)
0:37 - Bruno doesn’t scan (Dorgu open)
Wow. It’s almost like they’re not a bunch of racist, bigoted extremists and most are actually just…
…ordinary hardworking people protesting mass illegal migration and a corrupt government.
