@ThePromiseCFC Simple to understand. Yesterday's performance was nowhere near what this SA side can do. They qualified through many good performances but yesterday was another story.
@JoBertrand19 Broos has shown fear in his set up and made South Africa look quite embarrassing on the field. He needs to man up in the next game and allow the boys to play like they've done in the past few years. Today was sad...
I don't understand the complaints about Manchester United not bidding for Elliot Anderson. Have people learned nothing from last summer, or the Frenkie de Jong saga? There is no point bidding for a player that has decided they do not want to join the club.
City bid for Anderson because he has clearly indicated that he wants to go there. The reasons? Irrelevant. That is where he wants to go. In the transfer market you bid with encouragement to do so from the players' camp. Why would a meaningless bid be better?
Sadly Anderson hasn't been in briefs for a little while now, it is becoming clear why that was. The club wanted him, did what they could & he picked someone else. That isn't a slight on their ambition. It's the reality that they can't compete with City's wages.
It was the same with Antoine Semenyo. Money talks. Manchester United have not recovered financially from years of transfer & contract mistakes, they still have some on their books. It'll take more time & good season on good season to fix that.
It is often the people complaining the loudest who either don't know how the game is played, or are being actively ignorant about it & don't want to learn.
@UtdFaithfuls Mainoo is the starting DM. Getting 2 in might be it, as Utd might want to also bring someone from the academy, and not forgetting Mason Mount who can fill in there.
@UnitedStandMUFC But does Anderson WANT to come to to Utd? From all the major reports it seems his preference is City, and that's not changed even though Pep is gone. There needs to be clarity asap as to whether he wants us or not. If not we move on.
