Man Utd - Animals - Global Domination. The term "top red" was invented for anyone who follows me.
He might have done, but i don't think he stands out as being any better than those i mentioned. He certainly wouldn't have been starting, only the bench. So maybe two current players make it. I hope we can add more to the list in the coming years, a few have potential.

It's bonkers, we pay out more than Barca, Munich, Juve, Real, City and we've been crap. Throw in the huge contracts to the likes of Ronnie/Zlatan and none of it makes sense.
I will be more than happy if Ratcliffe stops all that nonsense in the future. If it means we miss out on a few, so be it.

We've been giving out stupid contracts since Woodward walked in the door, he even boasted about it.

I agree, he might dig his heels in and refuse to go and nobody would blame him. I just don't think the club actively looked to get rid of him, couple of reports of the Saudi league but we wanted a fee apparently and that wasn't going to happen.

The wastage on wages, fees over recent years is mindblowing.
Shaw, Casemiro, Sancho, Anthony, Mount (Rashford on the back of one good year) just to name a few. It's no bloody wonder all the money has gone.

Didn't we do it with Pogba? If i remember rightly, we just wanted shot of him.
He will go in the summer for sure and i agree, nobody would pay anything for him. The money this club has blown in recent years on the likes of him, Sancho, Anthony makes me feel ill to be honest with you.

We can pay him off, we've done it before. Nobody will pay any money for him, so we either keep him on his wages or pay off his contract. Think it would cost less to pay it off early, he goes as a free and gets a signing on fee to make up for any difference.

It does seem foolish to keep the likes of Casemiro who is earning around £18M a year to not play for us and sack staff on minimum wage i agree.
But then he is a tax dodging, union hating, worker right abusing capitalist so should we be surprised?

Think it looks awful when after costing the club over £30M down to his poor decisions, they then stick up ticket prices and sack loads of staff/cutbacks when they are partly to blame.
It's been an awful start, there is no denying that. Lets hope they learn from the mistakes in the future.

We can name more but right now, only Bruno stands out. The squad players of Fergie's time like Butt, Park, Brown, Evans, Fletcher would walk into this team no question and i think just shows how bad our recruitment has been recently.

I think Bruno makes the squad for sure, not sure about starting over the likes of Keane, Scholes, Carrick , Giggs etc, but squad for sure.
I don't think Maguire is any better than Johnson, Brown, O'Shea, Evans and i'm not even going to mention the likes of Vidic, Rio etc
Hopefully in a few years

Apart from the ones who have just arrived, the only one i'd not sell is Bruno. He alone turns up week after week and the one reason we aren't fighting relegation.
I'd also argue he is the only player who would make a Fergie squad, not the starting 11 just the squad.

I won't be celebrating, i think he is a decent player.

Like i just posted, i want him annoyed, i don't want him running off to social media knowing what a shitshow that is and stirring up the pot with his "look i'm sad" Insta post.
If he hadn't done that, i'd not have given it a 2nd thought.

a lot more crap on his manager, more questions, more for him to deal with. It's Sancho all over again, i want him to be annoyed by getting subbed, but i don't expect him to put unnecessary pressure on the manager in doing so.

It's the Insta post that did it. This is what makes it seem pre planned for me, he knew the crapfest that would follow by him doing it. Nobody would be talking about it (including me) if he hadn't, now it's a story where there was no need. Everybody knows how social media works and he just heaped

Time will tell i guess. I just think if you lucky enough to get to play for us and earn a fortune in doing so, the least you can do is give 100% and show respect to the fans who have paid a small fortune following you up and down the country. I think a few of them have forgotten that.

I might agree if he hadn't gone on Insta to make it seem more. Seems all pre planned to me and we know where that stuff ends up.

Standards and Practices and all that, only now we don't have any and why Pogba's agent was allowed to crap all over the club for years, or Sancho can act like he did, Lingard & Pogba dancing after losses, the leaks.......it's never ending. He could end it now of course by apologising to his teamates

I'm sure he will, but we have seen this play out before. Fact is, we have had stories about the squad for years now, never happened under Fergie or others, it's a new thing and came in with Woodward, player power basically.
Like i said, before if he did that the entire squad would be on him for it

Amorim and he knew he would be adding to it just days after the club have to threaten to sack staff leaking info, it just looks terrible, we all know the club is in the shit.
If he knew he made a honest mistake and it was spur of the moment stuff, his team behind him would have him apologise by now

It worked though didn't it, we won so the manager was right in doing so. If he has a problem he takes it up with Ruben after the game, instead he then went on Insta and posted some vague BS to compound it.
Nah, i've got no time for it, everyone there is feeling the pressure, none more so than

Garnacho, got subbed and made a point of walking down the touchline to the changing rooms and not taking his place on the bench. Few years ago a certain Irishman would have decked him for doing that.
Astonishing coming from a guy who has 3 goals all season.
