You see Rooney yeah smh. Just read what he tweeted when Whitney Houston died, he is top 3 English people of all time. For life - Alongside Princess Diana and David Rodigan
🔴🗣 JUST IN | "Matheus Cunha on the viral Man Utd fan's 'no haircut until 5 wins' bet:
'I'm more worried about the 15 points, I don't care about his haircut.'
'It's not motivating for us, we don't see it as cool.'
[ Via @DAZNPortugal ]
🚨🗣️ Rooney on Frank: “I'd put him to the other side of the country, he's doing my head in.
“We're talking about Carrick and United trying to win their fifth game in a row and the whole thing is about this guy getting his haircut. I bet he’d be devastated if United win the fifth game because all of a sudden he's irrelevant”. #MUFC [@NoTippyTappyPod]
Tonight should be about United’s 5th win and the run we’re on.
Instead that bushy haired prick is everywhere. Vile grifting cunt hope we win and he finally fucks off for good.
There’s not an ounce in him that seems happy it might come to an end tonight.
Was told The United Strand was doing it for charity. Just checked the page. Millions of followers, ads, merch, cameos, paid partnerships, TV interviews, watchalongs & a GoFundMe where a PITTANCE goes to charity. Grifter bantered the club & built a brand off United not winning 🚮
If you thought we were unbearable in the 90’s and 2000’s winning all those titles just fucking wait until this time around, I feel I took a lot of those for granted and didn’t celebrate and rub it in anywhere near enough as I should have done
Not a great 18 months by INEOS, Wilcox and Berrada.
• Spent £300m on Ten Hag then sacked him 4 months later
• Hired Dan Ashworth, then sacked him shortly after
• Appointed a 3‑4‑3 manager but didn’t give him the players to run that system
• Signed off on Ugarte & Zirkeee
@utdforever7@ManUtd@premierleague We complained that Ten Hag abandoned his style of play… asked for a manager who wouldn’t… and now look , fans already begging the new guy to ditch his own style too 🤦♂️ you couldn’t make this up 😂
You know what, I'm still backing Ruben.
And before you attack me, I've got no problem at all with people wanting him replaced, there are plenty of reasons why you'd want that and I won't begrudge anyone having that view point.
But, for me, watching this interview with Owen Hargreaves, listening to Ruben talk, I like him, I can't lie just to please the twitter faithful and conform, I like him and I really want it to click for him.
He sees everything we see but he also see's training, he's also in the dressing room and he has tons more context than we do. It was really interesting listening to his comments around tactics, leaders, "Mavericks" and Maguire / Bruno. He does get it.
▶️ Is he out of his depth a little? yeah, for sure, he basically admits it in this interview.
▶️ Is his current PL record abysmal? also yes.
▶️ Do we have the players to execute his system perfectly - no, but the underlying stats are much much better and showing progress.
▶️ Is he Stubborn - yes. But so am I at 40 years old. It has its pro's and con's.
But..
Even taking all that into consideration, I won't be swayed by the stupid graphics Sky Sports put out that are doing the rounds, they are completely taken out of context and posted solely for rage bait.
They do NOT take into account the CLUB hired him mid-season, with moral on the floor and asked him to completely change the tactics, system and way of playing. They hired him and they told him they'd back him to do so knowing he's a young manager in a new league and we dont have the squad to do it.
They also do NOT take into account is the fact we practically forfeited our last 8 PL games to try and win the Europa league (which was absolutly the right thing to do), we played our strongest team in the Europa League and our weakest team in the PL.
It almost paid off.
Yes is meant we dropped plenty of points in the PL but if the plan had worked, not a single person would be moaning about our points total and we'd all be watching CL tonight instead.
The underlying stats are improving, the team and the new signings & all new attack has barely played a handful of games together but there has been plenty of signs of improvement. If you cant see them, you are blind, indenial or only focusing on the results, not the performances. Yeah we've had a few stinkers, but so has every team.
All things considered:
🔴 We had the toughest set of opening fixtures out of all the top half clubs this season - Fact
🔴 We are 1 point behind Chelsea
🔴 We are 3 points behind City
🔴 We are ahead of Newcastle, Villa and Forest - supposed rivals for a European spot.
We are still very much in contention for those European spots and I'm hoping he can grab some good results in the next few games and build some momentum 🙏
I'm also not stupid and know full well if we lose the next few, he will leave or be sacked. Hes probably got 3-5 games to save his job and i really really hope he pulls it off. In the end it will all come down to the players, do they back him and fight for him, or do they down tools, give up and get a new manager in... we will find out shortly.
Sacking him now, for me, makes no sense. Sure speak to some potential replacements in the background, but give Ruben 5 games to prove he can get a tune out of this group. The fact you bought him in mid-season, didn't sign him an experienced GK, ST or CM you, as the board owe it to him to give him more time.
Peace out 🤞
🚨Scott Parker praises MUFC:
“I thought they had a lot of control & stability in the first half to be honest with you, they looked a very very good team. I get the narrative around United at the moment, people want to spin whatever narrative they want & it’s United this week & it’ll be someone else the following week.”
“That 1st half performance from Man Utd was every bit of a top team! That was partly down to us maybe at certain times, they’ve got exceptional players.”
“That’s where I see the reflection of United today!”
I was so spoilt growing up with United that I didn’t gloat nearly enough. Best believe when the football pendulum swings back our way I’ll be absolutely unbearable 🤣
Lost to Spurs in a European final, finished 15th barely scraping together 40 points and they still got pull…. Yeah this is the biggest club in the country brev
