🚨❤️🩹 Lisandro Martínez: “I was considering RETIREMENT from football after I suffered ACL injury last year”.
“I just didn't want to suffer anymore, you know?“.
"I was really hit low, but then my daughter was born, and that kind of balanced everything out for me”.
“I saw how my wife gave birth and the immense effort she made, and I said to myself: How am I not going to keep fighting?”.
Ambition
Something @@ManUtd haven't shown since 2009
Our CM needed serious injection of quality and we still haven't signed one
Embarrassing @INEOS@ManUtd@OmarBerrada
Really Mainoo shouldn’t built around. He is a come in and out player. Utd needed two established midfielders and another bench option who could partner exclusively with Kobbie if needed. Kobbie can work with anyone but Utd needed two starters. Enforcer like Rice and DLP
People may laugh at Manchester United for this or call them broke, but they’re actually setting a standard in the transfer market by not overpaying.
Now clubs will think twice before trying to bend them over, knowing United won’t pay inflated fees. It’s the same approach Arsenal have adopted in recent years.
Liverpool overpaid for Wirtz and paid for it by overpaying for Isak too, Chelsea have faced a similar predicament.
Splashing huge money on undervalued players always comes with consequences. United are not Manchester city or PSG with Arab money.
United fans may not be happy right now, but trust me, this is the best approach for your club.
It's possible. Esp in a market where very few can pay such big fees. We've just got stuck with the odd distinction of two players in a row not wanting us but PL top 6 who are prepared to overpay. It won't happen often. Should stick to the prep & plan. This will work out long term
I said it before and I'll say it again, if someone chooses Spurs over United, he wasn't the right character for us to begin with. Good luck dousing fire at Spurs.
As far as United are concerned, I do hope we have those lists ready. Because you cannot expect PL-proven and reasonable fee at the same time, especially now after City ravaged the market with the Anderson fee.
What I do not want to see is United, who have been backed into a corner after missing a key target, panic and pay £80-85m for someone like Alex Scott. If you have drawn a line about not overpaying, you better stick to it no matter what. Better hope our scouts have some gems ready.
Just a reminder that we wouldn’t be desperate for a cm in an overpriced market if we had just gone for one last summer or in January like I suggested.
It’s an issue of our own making and we are playing the victims in it. Tired of acting surprised about any of this. It’s all been predictable month after month and that’s why I’ve advocated for so many “non sexy” non-marquee names for the past year but now everyone is shocked when a player costs a lot or gets big wages… that’s just the market when you choose to go this path.
I just want competent planning and quick, decisive movements. Wasting time on Anderson and Mateus while half heartedly pursuing them hoping they choose us entirely is bullshit. We let spurs into the race and they won on Mateus. We could’ve bid for Anderson last summer (like I said dozens of times) and would’ve had a good shot at winning. We could’ve moved on for garner aggressively in winter and didn’t. And the list goes on. This isn’t new to me and sorry I’m jaded, but I have a hard time buying that we couldn’t have gotten some of these targets or known that these numbers would happen allowing us to pivot sooner…
This was a market opportunity.
Relegated club = weak negotiation position.
But Spurs desperation, Mendes together with Fabrizio driving the narrative, that market opportunity disappeared.
I'm glad United stood firm. He was never the one.
Midfield isn’t a position you gamble with. If you had a clear idea of how you want to play. You shouldn’t be just switch from option A to B to C to D to E like it’s nothing.
What are Man Utd doing?
New left winger and it’s not even close
He doesn’t want to be here ⬇️
He just needs to leave
This is like a girl staying with you because she gets free rent not because she loves you

Amorim's Biggest mistake was accepting the Manchester United job, well he got popularity and that will help him.
I thought you guys said the decision to offload Rashford was made by the club and not Amorim.
So I want to ask, Why is the club bringing him back?
I pity for the fans.
