🥅 Pochettino currently still expected to oversee U.S. national team for two games against Haiti before heading to Manchester.

I’d rather we go for Tyrick Mitchell over Ait Nouri. The idea of him is better than the reality sadly, especially for a team that’s lacking in athleticism
Calvin Bassey
Branthwaite
Murillo
Ait Nouri
Archie Brown
Tyrell Mitchell
Guirassy
Sorloth
Balogun
Brobbey
Vanderson
Wesley Franca
I’ll sign one from each category in January.
@Luke_Chadwick15 Not much but there’s green shoots with Yoro. De ligt can be his experienced partner for now. Luke Shaw as a LCB understudy until the summer or in January then hopefully we get someone
@Luke_Chadwick15 Tough compromise to make when he tops the league in errors leading to goal for CBs, and he fundamentally is not good in the air and can’t defend channels, and this is coming from someone who really admires what he does on the ball.
I agree that there’s a higher ceiling to reach when you set up players to be able to problem solve on the pitch than being rigid to tactics like arteta & amorim.
I think the issues Poch will find is that there aren’t that many players with the ability and Football IQ to execute like that. Off the top, I can only count on Cunha, Bruno, Youri, Kobbie,
Maybes:
Mount, Zirkzee.
Other big issue: we have only 2 first team CBs that fit the bill for Poch (De Ligt/Yoro)
Mauricio Pochettino
PROS: His USP is fitness and pressing which is something we lack.
CONS: Not a difference maker tactically would rely on the quality of the players that are available to him - something we also lack!!!
The club has always been for sale, the issue is that there’s no buyer for the price point.
Anyone that’s rich enough to have $6B to buy an asset is also smart enough to refuse absorbing the $1B Glazer debt
Are you telling me all after all these years all Manchester United needed to do to force the Glazers to sell the club was fall into the relegation zone?
🚨 Manchester United intend to relieve Michael Carrick of duties. #MUFC say no final decision & nothing set in stone but work undertaken on replacements + multiple sources anticipate change before Liverpool. W/ @lauriewhitwell@AdamCrafton_@TheAthleticFC https://t.co/E1W3QbGYx1
