Arsenal have impressed with their recruitment plan. Manchester United are now trying to surpass those heights with their own cohesive strategy, focused on addressing major problem areas first.
My latest analysis:

🚨 Casemiro on a funny moment at Manchester United this season:
🗣️ “Against Fulham, Cunha dribbled into the box and was fouled. The referee immediately pointed to the spot and we started celebrating.
Then the Fulham players surrounded the referee and protested. VAR checked it and ruled the foul was outside the box, so the penalty was changed to a free-kick.
I looked at Cunha and thought, ‘They’ve just made all your hard work pointless.’
A few moments later, Bruno delivered a brilliant ball from the free-kick and I scored.
After the game, Cunha and I went over to their captain and asked: ‘Honestly, which would you have preferred…the penalty or the free-kick goal?’
He looked at us and said, ‘Please, just leave me alone.’
We thanked him for the protest and walked away.” 😂
Backrooms will definitely divide opinions. I loved it for the way it made me feel. I was on edge throughout due to the claustrophobic feel of the first person shots. The Mrs on the other hand gave it a 2/10 at a push and said it’s one of the worst films she’s ever seen.
Kobbie Mainoo amongst the six nominations for PFA Young Player of the Year. Mad to think he would have spent the season at Napoli if he had been granted his wish at the end of August.

“Oi, sou o Casemiro, tenho 17 anos, jogo de volante. Tô no São Paulo desde 2003. Já fui campeão mundial sub-17, sub-15. Já fui pra seleção três vezes. Fui pra Espanha com a seleção, Japão. E, graças a Deus, tive uma chance pra pra integrar o grupo aí. Vamos atrás do meu sonho pra permanecer aqui no CT da Barra Funda.”
Brian Cox's fondness for the current Arsenal team may be mistaken for allegiance, but that belongs to Manchester United, a Premier League club steeped in Scottish heritage.
Cox was 11 when eight United players from Sir Matt Busby's team died in 1958 in the Munich air disaster. Two more suffered such terrible injuries that they could not play football again and 15 other passengers were killed.
"I will always be a United fan because United is what affected me as a child," Cox says, his voice softening.
"I remember it so vividly, waiting to hear about Duncan Edwards. I'll never forget those few days. That's what really locked me onto Man United, because all these young men and Edwards, who was the extraordinary player of all time… his range was amazing, he was fit as anything.
"It was his kidneys that finally killed him. Sir Matt Busby nearly died as well, he ended up in hospital. It was a very traumatic thing. As a kid… I remember feeling very empathetic towards Man United.
"It just became my team really from that point on because of what Busby then recreated. They were called the Busby Babes, they were an absolutely amazing team."
