All things data and #mufc

[Aaron @ExpectedAaron]

@HemmenKees I agree with the point, but for a fair comparison should probably list all the current U28 players. e.g. Antony (NGE), Malacia (? IP), Altay (?)

[Aaron @ExpectedAaron]

@chunhang7 The inverse Saka 😅

[Aaron @ExpectedAaron]

Normally a large portion of a "new manager bounce" is simply goals scored regressing to xG. I'm really hoping the underlyings improve under new management as well as the results

[UtdArena @UtdArena]

Just 7 points behind 4th which is good and our xG conversion being -6.6 (the worst in the league) should improve...hopefully. Also, the players didn't give up under ETH and were still creating great chances till the end. There is a platform there despite the problems.

@JamiescottUV Every game I see him play I cross my fingers that nobody at Real Madrid is watching

[Aaron @ExpectedAaron]

@UtdDistrict Not once to they check with the ref what his interpretation of the situation is. How can they assess whether he's made a (clear and obvious) mistake if they don't ask him why he's made that decision? If the ref watches a single replay he realises Bruno hasn't gone in studs up

[Aaron @ExpectedAaron]

@amonizfootball I feel like I'm going insane. Say Fernandes scores his free kick instead of hitting the bar and we win 1-0, does that make Ten Hag a better coach? Of course not. Why do people talk like the decision should be made based on any one game instead of performances over the last year?

[Aaron @ExpectedAaron]

@StevenDonovan02 @academyarenaUTD Yes most don't but it doesn't mean you should write them off. Some come back and contribute, e.g. Amad right now

[Aaron @ExpectedAaron]

@htomufc Feel like [people in the bubble I've created] aren't talking about [player who doesn't play for us], have they dropped off?

[Aaron @ExpectedAaron]

@scoutedftbl It's one of the things I respect about Haaland. He could have *probably* gone straight to a big club and worked his way to being a starter but he chose to take the incremental steps up through Europe to get there instead

[Aaron @ExpectedAaron]

Jamal Lewis to Sao Paulo on loan has got to be the most improbable move this summer surely

[Transfer News Live @DeadlineDayLive]

🚨 The most improbable transfer of the window:

▫️Victor Osimhen 🇳🇬 Galatasaray
▫️Sébastien Haller 🇨🇮 Leganés
▫️Maxime Lopez 🇫🇷 Paris FC
▫️James Rodriguez 🇨🇴 Rayo
▫️Youssoufa Moukoko 🇩🇪 Nice

[Aaron @ExpectedAaron]

@MoeSquare Only instead of buying sandwiches we're buying post peak players and giving them £300k a week

[Aaron @ExpectedAaron]

@amonizfootball @HemmenKees Seventy freaking million man

That's the fee we paid Real and also roughly what we'll end up paying him over his contract on top...

[Aaron @ExpectedAaron]

@chunhang7 If only we could clone him and play him LB RB and DM

[Aaron @ExpectedAaron]

@amonizfootball He made me completely reassess how I view transfers in terms of squad fit and how physicals / technicals translate across leagues. I'll never forget that lesson 🫡

[Aaron @ExpectedAaron]

@htomufc He'll be the second player to play for City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal after Anelka, unless they also bring Sturridge out of retirement for striker depth lol

[Aaron @ExpectedAaron]

@GraceOnFootball It's similar to how I feel about Sterling. If he went to United, he'd crash and burn quite easily in the environment, but at Arsenal, it might just be right for it to work out.

[Aaron @ExpectedAaron]

@htomufc 250k a week off the wage bill. Cutting it off now means that's £13mil saved as opposed to waiting til next summer to sell

[Aaron @ExpectedAaron]

@amonizfootball Transfermarkt has him at 33rd for United PL appearances, 10th out of all academy graduates. If that's not making it, I'm not sure what is

[Aaron @ExpectedAaron]

@amonizfootball He's gonna be 28 later this year and has 1+1 left on his contract, selling now makes sense. I think it's just people aren't used to United making sales that make sense 😅
