If someone were to…

1) Buy Everton (incl. their lovely new stadium);

2) Clear all of their debts and invest £100m+ in club infrastructure;

3) Inject a further £3.1bn to spend on players and their salaries in the first few years, all EXEMPT from PSR;

4) Inject a further £0.4bn to sign academy players, all EXEMPT from PSR;

5) Then by-pass PSR by sneaking an extra £2.5bn into the club over 8 years to spend on more players (averaging >£300m extra a year)…

Would it be impressive if they “won”
x1 Champions League, x8 PL titles, x3 FA cups and x6 League cups over the subsequent 17 years? 🤔

Name one other team in the world that leaks stupid shit like us!??

Secret midfielder..FML

[Paul Gaskell @pgaskell13]

4 league defeats on the bounce, I’ll dance to that……

[WH Fan Place @WestHamPlace]

Imagine winning the league, spending more than any other club, breaking the record twice and then falling off a cliff.

Only for the media darlings to be called a “team in transition”

The protection these shysters get from the media is off the scale.

It’s so nauseating.

[Si @Buckers7]

Inexcusable this.

[Si @Buckers7]

Should arguably be targeting two of the below to replace Case and Bruno next summer.

[UtdXclusive @UtdXclusive]

Pick ONE for Manchester United👇

Carlos Baleba
Adam Wharton
Elliot Anderson

@FutballHQ_ Bruno Fernandes vs Newcastle

[Si @Buckers7]

@PeteHall86 Signing him was the shambles Pete, defending his inability to save simple shots or defend his box is bonkers

United made the correct decision. Should have made it sooner.

[Paddy Power @paddypower]

Liverpool have broken the British transfer record twice this summer.

Seems like the Coutinho money is still coming in handy...

@jimmymcbride1 I’d chuck Martinez in that DM role when he’s fit. Got the right attributes.

[Si @Buckers7]

If we don’t sign a midfielder today, I’d be up for playing Martinez in that defensive midfielder role. #mufc

[Si @Buckers7]

Wonder if the press will be questioning Pep and City, considering they’re having a worse start to the season than us?

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

Ruben Amorim contains multitudes. Yes, he is the head coach of Manchester United but sometimes, he is also just a guy, standing in front of ITV’s Gabriel Clarke, asking how a line-up he picked worth a combined £401m contrived to lose to fourth-tier Grimsby Town.

Which is to say — in case it was not already clear from his record of just seven wins in 29 Premier League games in charge — Amorim is human. He is flawed and his openness in admitting to those flaws is arguably his greatest strength right now.

Amorim’s passion does not just tell us but shows us that he cares. When so much of modern coaching is associated with the tactical, theoretical and cerebral, it is refreshing to remember that management is as much about personality: the good and bad.

A few days after he seethed at the end of United dismal Carabao Cup humiliation, @mjcritchley witnessed Amorim show the other side of his unflinching authenticity.

If the plan is to let Bruno go to Saudi next summer, then it should be him that plays a bit part this season.

Playing him week in week out is not planning for the future, it’s simply just here and now.

Bed Kobbie in for a full season and hope we get Baleba to play alongside him

Ruben Amorim’s United: From Derelict Building to Rebirth

Ruben Amorim didn’t walk into Manchester United with a red carpet rolled out in front of him, he arrived mid-season, reluctantly, after originally planning to take the job in the summer. Instead of inheriting a clean slate, he walked straight into the fire, a club riddled with toxic behaviour, manipulative voices, and unprofessional standards that you simply don’t see anywhere else in the Premier League at this scale.

And make no mistake: those negative influences weren’t harmless they were powerful, disruptive, and deeply ingrained. Amorim’s first job wasn’t about tactics or formations, it was about ripping out the rot, Some players had to go, Big personalities with poisonous influence needed cutting out, the culture needed to change, that process is underway but anyone expecting instant miracles simply doesn’t understand football, or Manchester United’s reality.

When Amorim walked through the doors at Old Trafford, he wasn’t entering a football club ready for fine-tuning, he was stepping into a derelict building. On the outside? Huge, iconic, a structure that screams potential, but inside? Absolute chaos. So what’s the first step when you take over a wreck like that? You don’t start painting the walls, you clear the mess, you throw out the junk, you strip away the asbestos before it poisons everyone inside.

That asbestos isn’t just some of the players it includes sections of the fanbase too, the toxicity, the impatience, the constant need to weaponise “stats after two games” and turn them into grand narratives… it’s childish, it’s embarrassing, and it shows a complete lack of ball knowledge.

Context is king, without it, everything is noise. Blaming Amorim for last season and lazily dragging those same numbers into this season is stupidity dressed up as analysis, it ignores the simple reality: United were broken, and you can’t rebuild a skyscraper without first demolishing the rotten foundations.

Manchester United will grow again. The derelict building will one day be a landmark, lit up and alive, but the process takes time, it takes pain, and it takes patience. Amorim didn’t create the mess he’s the one clearing it, and only when the smoke clears will people finally see the method behind the madness.

@MufcWonItAll2 @ImpressionistAL Proper fans need to stay away from social media.

Full of fans that expect us to win every game 3-0 yet forget we’ve a whole new attack, bedding into a team who’s every kick is under scrutiny.

We could and should have put the game to bed in first 20. Perspective

[Si @Buckers7]

I see all the keyboard managers are out, saying what they’d do different.

Simple fact is that game should have been put to bed in the first 15 mins regardless of the penalty miss.

All thinking Baleba, who was subbed at half time yesterday, will drag us into the CL.

[The Away Fans @theawayfans]

What has happened to our game in just a few short years?

Games gone. 😞
