Where to start? Obviously problems at the top and terrible planning and support. At the manager level, much too hesitant to make changes and style of play far too passive. At the players, step up with more energy.

MAGA economics lesson:
You give McDonald’s $10.
McDonald’s gives you lunch.
McDonald’s did not just defeat you in a $10 trade war.

[Dan @Altgthr]

A new manager doesn’t fix this. United needed a serious transfer window, but the writing was on the wall when they went cheap.

Second string are miles off being good enough as well. Like MILES off it!

[FergieStandards @FergieStandards]

Can’t just be me that blames this man more than anyone else.

Carrick might not be the guy but I’m still placing the majorly of the blame with this man.

[Sam Fox @notthatsamfox]

@jabbathesutt @Gloriousregen1 I think it's probably a bit more than just curry favour but his mindset of control. If you have the ball you don't need to run as much. But we can't do either

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Manchester United’s plan to do their defensive reinforcing in next summer’s transfer window always looked risky. Michael Carrick will get the heat for some of the abject defending by his team but this is down to the board with its transfer policy. #MUFC

City pushing us down the sides but we don't have any natural winger and our full backs are having a mare

[Sam Fox @notthatsamfox]

Would never have taken Tielsman off, should have been Cunha.. And Zirkzee on??? Weird subs

[Adam @AdamJoseph]

Manchester United played better in the first 20 minutes vs 11 men than they have for nearly an hour vs 10. This has been uninspired, devoid of ideas & predictable.

The offside goal is obviously a disgrace but United still haven't done anything to win the game anyway.

[Sam Fox @notthatsamfox]

Of course I sub Mitchell out of fpl

[Sam Fox @notthatsamfox]

Tbf £30M is below market price. Had a v.good season then one iffy season in an iffy team. £50M for a young English striker who has played and scored in the PL, to another PL club. It's not that outrageous and quite different to us. We need to be selling to PL clubs if we want £££

[Manchester United Forever @UtdForever7]

🚨Just one example of how BAD Manchester United are at selling players:

Liam Delap played 47 games for Chelsea and scored ONLY 3 GOALS… yet they still managed to sell him for £50m. They bought him for £30m and somehow made a profit.

Joshua Zirkzee has played 75 games for United, scoring 9 goals and providing 6 assists — and the best offers we seem to get are loans with buy options.

Until we improve how we sell our players we will always struggle to compete buying best players in the market because we never make profit from players we sell.

[UtdArena @UtdArena]

Two main issues, fix both and we're much better:

1. Too many unforced errors (poor touches, nonsense passes)

2. Getting bullied a little too easily which creates hasty football with little composure

[Sam Fox @notthatsamfox]

Fitness and sharpness seemed a long way off. Add some complacency and whatever you say about tactics less relevant

[Red Army 68' 🇾🇪 @MUFC_RA]

The signs were there vs Milan.

What have they been doing during pre season? The whole purpose of not going to America or Asia was reduce the travel load on players setting us up to be fitter and sharper.

We looked well off it

So train cancelled. Then road closures everywhere due to road works. So a 30 minute drive becomes over an hour. Can we not just have a functioning transport system?

[Sam Fox @notthatsamfox]

@transportgovuk And that's pointed at you too @GWRHelp . 70-80 quid with network railcard to get in for 9am and home by 8pm? IF the train is running

[Sam Fox @notthatsamfox]

Perhaps before gov start to build hundreds of houses in my village, they could give residents a reliable train service? @transportgovuk it's like a 50/50 chance of being able to get home to Hanborough on weekdays. Getting home on weekends? Not if you're going to the theatre

[Bryce Greene @TheGreeneBJ]

Holy shit... Wired reports that back in May, the U.S. Military was testing an experimental GPS jammer and and caused a civilian plane to crash into the side of a mountain, killing everyone on board.

How is this story not all over the place?

[Sam Fox @notthatsamfox]

@GWRHelp is the 16.16 Hanborough to Paddington cancelled? It hasn't turned up. There's like 50 people waiting here
