The fact that Casemiro is fading and Eriksen doesn't have the legs makes Mason Mount's signing even more baffling. Every single day, Mainoo is proving why having a good six is important for ball retention, and even he isn't being used properly in deeper positions to control possession.
Baldman did nothing in terms of midfield building that would convince anyone that we're going for long-term success. He was given too much power over transfers without a second thought, and it'll set us back 2-3 windows at least.
I really hate how this club is run by buffoons that clearly lack long-term vision. I wish we had someone like Fergie now. I know I sound pessimistic all the time but it hurts seeing teams like Arsenal play so good.
Because I'm not a reactive fan and don't write statements based on feelings? And that's a good thing? A 3-0 isn't convincing when your opponent has double xG and clearly lost because they were shit in front of goal.
Why are you doing mental gymnastics to try to be angry about a 3-0 win? Good thing the table isn't based on XG but wins and losses. Can't you be happy our strikers are scoring goals, our youth are making a statement, and we have won 2 PL games this week?
Bro said words like “I really hate”, “it hurts” and called people names “Baldman” and “buffoons” and then had the audacity to justify his pessimism by saying he’s NOT writing a statement based on feelings lol.
I’ll also add that xG becoming a mainstream stat is such a farce, throwing in a stat that is the equivalent of losing in FIFA and saying your opponent is trash and you should’ve won - yeah but you didn’t mate so move on.
Your comment doesn't deserve a response but I'm giving one anyway. xG is important. A team having higher xGs and not scoring means they weren't decisive. That also indicates that we didn't defend well.
You can get away playing like this against WestHam but teams like ManCity, Arsenal, Liverpool, Real Madrid won't miss that many chances. If we plan to play well against them we have to look past that 3-0 score and focus on our defense.
ETH literally has one of the worst record, if not the worst against top 6/top 10 teams in ManU history. You guys are just pretending to not see it.
Mainoo played 65 minutes and Case full time. Case had 99 touches on the ball compared to Maino's only 36!!
If we're really trying to use Maino as a deeper playmaker, this is not the way to go. Every week ETH gets something wrong. It makes me wonder how ETH would use Frenkie had we signed him.
If we want to hold the ball like ManCity does (we have to, to control games and to not break under pressure), we need to use our players rignt. I hope I'm not the only one noticing that.
Everything I asked for. A nice, routine United win and a couple of NEIPAs on a Sunday afternoon.
Now to hopefully watch Liverpool and Arsenal knock seven shades of shite out of one another and eat a braised brisket 🍺
It’s wild ain’t it, we have 2 youngsters who he’s imbedded into the team. Both running wild now. Antony while not the best attacking option does commit defenders which you need in the last few minutes. It wasn’t a time for Amad but it will be eventually
Could've been one of those 3-3 games. West Ham were shit. Visible offensive pattern and improvements but I doubt Ten Hag will be able to fix our defensive issues anytime soon. Long long way to go.
It’s baffling to me how we just won an important match 3-0 with decent performances all over the pitch, and some people just want to moan about Diallot not getting minutes. So many fans are about individuals more than the team.
If Diallot is good enough, he’ll get his chance. We’ve seen it with Garnacho and Mainoo.
Can't believe we actually played so well, no dramas (apart from Lich injured AGAIN 😢)and we didn't bloody concede! Now why can't we do this every damn week!!! The big H is our god!
Why? We have more chance of catching Arsenal between now and the end of the season than we do Liverpool, Arsenal dropping out of the title race might cause this years implosion.
He created a very close group at Ajax, hopefully he's now replicating it here. Seems like the lads are enjoying themselves, even Rashford is smiling more now.
When we finally played some really good football after a while, there is always Anthony this Amad that. FFS, can you please be happy for a moment and save that comment for tomorrow or something? So much to celebrate come on now
Ridiculous thing is if you send Antony to Sunderland on load for a season people don't think he would look as good as Diallo did? He would look world class
Ggs all. What was interesting was we look much much more positive and seem to have turned a corner. I just hope Licha is okay. All good things start with him being fit
these people are insane. win 3-0 with young players scoring and they're still finding shit to moan about. it's all they've got to define their online personality, sad times.
Two very close moments with him. Almost gave two goals. Amazing block by Dalot and missed other one by skying.
He was holding his hamstring after that run. I hope he is ok if Martinez is not.
Unpopular opinion: We shouldn’t sell MC. T. He is a very good substitute player. We need players who are happy to sit on bench and produce whenever called upon. To buy replacement and moan just create negativity in dressing room.
Mctominay is one of the best player in our squad to come off the bench at 70+ minutes. Only thing is if he's content with that role as he's in his prime age.
If we need to build a winning and formidable side we need to have strong squad compare to strong team. Look how City are. KDB injured and still didnt put them on 8th position. Look at us how huge of difference with Casemiro and Licha in team. We need good bench to reach where we meant to be. On Top.
Yea second half Maguire struggled a bit I thought he was lucky to not cost the team any goals. But he's looking leaner and sharper and his first half was very good, so hopefully he plays back into form more.
Better second half, we are improving, Dallot has been immense today.
On another note, Alvarez is so damn good. Would love to have him in our team instead of amrabat
I think we should keep Scott as an impact sub, if he’s willing to work that role. Because he’s a wrecking ball when he comes on fresh and a real threat to goal
Just sell Amad mate. Kid's a baller and we're pretty much fucking him over to play a fidget spinner in his place.
And for anyone who hasn't seen him play, go watch some games from the Championship last season. He made a mockery of players who were 2x his size, and was immense for Sunderland. Tuned in to way too many games just to watch him play. Such a technical player with an insane eye for goal
The kid missed 6 months with a serious knee injury and is only back in training a couple of weeks. What's to say they're not just being cautious with him?
Yet he's on the bench, and isn't even allowed to get 8 mins in a winning game. Being cautious is one thing, not playing him at all is another altogether.
What position is Scott actually playing lmao? He came on for Mainoo so he *should* be midfield, but he's been floating between the striker position to the right wing occasionally.
Honestly it's why I just can't trust him starting or against any big team. Hasn't been a factor here but we're so, so open down the middle when he's in the side.
He's literally man marking Philips out of possession, drifts forward in possession.
Won the tackle and bagged an assist.
couldn't have played better in the time he was given.
Lads just won the ball back to create an assist, got close to scoring himself and pinged a great cross field ball out to garnacho. What more do you want?
slowly and sadly giving up hope on Amad getting game time, the lad should not be on the bench while Antony plays but the kid must be doing something in training EtH doesn't like
The fact that Casemiro is fading and Eriksen doesn't have the legs makes Mason Mount's signing even more baffling. Every single day, Mainoo is proving why having a good six is important for ball retention, and even he isn't being used properly in deeper positions to control possession.

Bitching after a 3-0 win haha. Classic
As though it isn't obvious that Mount was signed for #8 and Mainoo is perfectly able of playing #6

Happy Hojlund is finding his confidence
Boys what the fuck is this feeling?

What’s Diallo got to do to get some game time man.
i pray Licha is okay
Agreed. Looked like mcl
Across both united games today We scored 5 the opposition scored 0
Gutted for Licha, EtH seems to think that it’s a bad one. Just when he is starting to get fit.
Now I'm just desperately hoping for news that Licha is ok
It doesn't look good apparently, according to EtH. 😔
who got hurt?
Licha
Everything I asked for. A nice, routine United win and a couple of NEIPAs on a Sunday afternoon. Now to hopefully watch Liverpool and Arsenal knock seven shades of shite out of one another and eat a braised brisket 🍺
Great to Rashford smiling😀
Ok r/reddevils time for you to suck the enjoyment out of that one for me, what have you got?
Martinez injured, no minutes for Amad and Casemiro still looking a bit rusty. Best I can do I’m afraid, it was generally a good game.
Go to r/manchesterunited for that.
There are a few lads in here that always have something negative to say as well.
Comfortable win for once that, looked solid
I'm so happy. GGMU!
win 3-0 with a 21 yr old and 19 yr scoring and this place is fuming over a player who has been out for 6 months. pathetic.
It’s wild ain’t it, we have 2 youngsters who he’s imbedded into the team. Both running wild now. Antony while not the best attacking option does commit defenders which you need in the last few minutes. It wasn’t a time for Amad but it will be eventually
Who are we supposedly fuming over again?
The _significantly_ unproven Amad Diallo presumably
Crysencio Summerville has better stats already this season than Amad did last and I haven't seen one person on here mention we should sign him.
Amad
Could've been one of those 3-3 games. West Ham were shit. Visible offensive pattern and improvements but I doubt Ten Hag will be able to fix our defensive issues anytime soon. Long long way to go.
Maybe we can bring kudus in one day.
It’s baffling to me how we just won an important match 3-0 with decent performances all over the pitch, and some people just want to moan about Diallot not getting minutes. So many fans are about individuals more than the team. If Diallot is good enough, he’ll get his chance. We’ve seen it with Garnacho and Mainoo.
[удалено]
He’s had a really great season so far. Hope it continues, especially since our two starting CBs seem to be very injury prone
Not kidding when Rasmus used his left leg as a guitar during the celebration, I thought he pulled his hammy or something :(
Dalot MOTM for me. Amazing performance, high presence at the midfield aswell and some nice defensive actions.
Agreed!
I know it was unintentional from Coufal but I still wanna say Fuck you to him
Solid performance and a clean sheet! Hope everyone has a great rest of the day except for Coufal.
Couffals better start running from me rn
[удалено]
Yeah.. the least sinful thing i could manifest tonight
Everyone crying about amad but where are the pellestri fans at? this time last year he was your 5"5 saviour.
I miss pellistri. Should have been given more time
You'd play him over garnacho? insane.
No, not a chance I’d play him over Garnacho. But he deserved more time. I’d play him over Antony though.
you think playing 10 mins while 3-0 up is better than playing full matches in la liga? Do you want him to have a career?
Hmmm I think you’re making a lot of assumptions about my meaning. There was space to give him a run.
he had minutes and was outmuscled by every fullback he came up against. he needs to play regularly
He does need to play yes
Lol perfectly put.
A win, clean sheet and Chelsea getting battered by Wolves . Today has been a good morning for me
Hope Martinez is okay. Looked bad so but I'm praying it's not. We go back to chaos ball without him!
Professor Bruno 🥸
Loving that
Won’t be surprised if Garnacho’s is the reason for Sancho being sent out.
Can't believe we actually played so well, no dramas (apart from Lich injured AGAIN 😢)and we didn't bloody concede! Now why can't we do this every damn week!!! The big H is our god!
Domination. Totally deserved, well played to everyone, there wasn’t a bad performance.
today i feel gooner
Why? We have more chance of catching Arsenal between now and the end of the season than we do Liverpool, Arsenal dropping out of the title race might cause this years implosion.
we're not catching either mate lmao it's about Liverpool not winning the league
Seems ETH and Alvarez are good friends.
He created a very close group at Ajax, hopefully he's now replicating it here. Seems like the lads are enjoying themselves, even Rashford is smiling more now.
When we finally played some really good football after a while, there is always Anthony this Amad that. FFS, can you please be happy for a moment and save that comment for tomorrow or something? So much to celebrate come on now
Ridiculous thing is if you send Antony to Sunderland on load for a season people don't think he would look as good as Diallo did? He would look world class
Garnacho MOTM Performance! Gave 100% till the FINAL Whistle
That's a team now
I only watched from the 60th minute but we looked great.
We were shaky in the last 25 minutes of the first half but yeah we played decently
A win and Chelsea got thrashed by Wolves
Is this 2022? Fucking good football heh? Please be fine Licha
feels illegal winning 3-0 in the prem, big up our young guns
Hopefully Licha is okay but Atleast Maguire and Varane could work if needed.
after our recent run would it still be too early to say we're back? :')
maybe back to square 1?
we have a team
Ggs all. What was interesting was we look much much more positive and seem to have turned a corner. I just hope Licha is okay. All good things start with him being fit
Sucks for Lisandro. I hope he gets well soon.
The progress the youngsters have made this season has been immense. I know there is more to come.
>more to come Bobby Moore?
haven't you heard ETH doesn't play youth because he's easing Amad in after a 6 month injury.
He seems to play them as a last resort. He should have been starting Mainoo long ago. He waited until he had no choice but to try.
Mainoo was injured in preseason what are you smoking. As soon as he's fit ETH has played him.
these people are insane. win 3-0 with young players scoring and they're still finding shit to moan about. it's all they've got to define their online personality, sad times.
What a way to for Hojlund to celebrate his birthday with a goal and a win
He bought a Guitar 🎸today. He had to play it. Loved it.
Licha please be ok 🙏
Onana clean sheet 🙌🏿
Some good saves too
I'll take that.
Maguire went through the grinder and is now built different
Two very close moments with him. Almost gave two goals. Amazing block by Dalot and missed other one by skying. He was holding his hamstring after that run. I hope he is ok if Martinez is not.
Moving up to 6!
We’ve actually started scoring a decent number of goals
Almost like if we took our chances we would be doing way better, who would’ve thought
We barely created chances in some games earlier in the season
BIG ARRY DEFENDING THE CLEAN SHEET
# CLEAN SHEET BOYS LETS GO
Am I crazy or am I seeing an ad for “Doo Doo Group” on the rotating ad signs?
We can still be more clinical & we still give up a little too much at the back... but that was a great win! 🔥
Credit to Moyes he’s always looking out for us.
A 3-0 comfortable win. Are you kidding me?
Should've sub Amad instead of Antony
Unpopular opinion: We shouldn’t sell MC. T. He is a very good substitute player. We need players who are happy to sit on bench and produce whenever called upon. To buy replacement and moan just create negativity in dressing room.
It's not unpopular opinion, every team including united need player like McT, but you also need players like Bruno to make difference.
Mctominay is one of the best player in our squad to come off the bench at 70+ minutes. Only thing is if he's content with that role as he's in his prime age.
If we need to build a winning and formidable side we need to have strong squad compare to strong team. Look how City are. KDB injured and still didnt put them on 8th position. Look at us how huge of difference with Casemiro and Licha in team. We need good bench to reach where we meant to be. On Top.
will he be really happy to sit on bench???
He also probably won't play much once Mount is fit
Solid win
A clean sheet?!?!
Also should be noted that Onana had a good game. Made some key stops in the first half and then didn’t have much to do in the second.
Good shit, lads. Great work at both ends of the pitch.
Love a good 3-0 at OT! We climb the table lads!!
Hey!!! An Anthony contribution!!
Closed on Sunday
Dalot been mint today
Mcguire is solid today
He made two errors leading to West Ham having two of the best chances in the game. Good outside of that, but he could have easily cost us.
Yea second half Maguire struggled a bit I thought he was lucky to not cost the team any goals. But he's looking leaner and sharper and his first half was very good, so hopefully he plays back into form more.
This one felt goooooood
IT'S JOEVER
I will never understand paying so much to get into Old Trafford and leaving early…
Far better to leave 5 mins early and get home in 20 than get stuck for another hour and a half thanks to the rush and traffic.
Most are locals to beat traffic
Amad will get there eventually, relax guys....
GOOD GAME BOYS!!
Oh my god are we actually comfortably winning a game??
Good result.
Imagine if we had got kudus instead of antony 😞
Dalot is great, our most underrated player
Better second half, we are improving, Dallot has been immense today. On another note, Alvarez is so damn good. Would love to have him in our team instead of amrabat
Hasn't quite worked out for Rashford today but clearly he's more focused...that's what getting even 25% of the parasites out of the club does.
Dalot is my motm
Our Slab
great Dalot
Dalot put in a shift today. Props
Dalot has been immense today
That one block completely changed the game
Maguire's been solid today. Credit to him.
Except for the breakaway he handed them of course.
Two huge mistakes though mate
United win, Chelsea loss...can enjoy Arsenal Liverpool in peace. Nice one
If we move on Rashford, Mctominay, and Antony in the summer, and replace them with footballers, we’ll be looking very good for next season.
I think we should keep Scott as an impact sub, if he’s willing to work that role. Because he’s a wrecking ball when he comes on fresh and a real threat to goal
Dalot has been brilliant today. Defended very well.
Garnacho would've got the hattrick if they didn't move him to left
Can mods update the scoreline please
Dalot or Case for MOTM
Dalot is pretty good, isn't he?
If Amad can’t get minutes when we’re winning 3-0 at home, he’s simply the new Pellistri
Dalot's been SOLID
A nice comfortable win
Would have liked the 3rd a bit earlier, but it felt quite comfortable throughout.
That was an amazing interception by Dalot. His second half perfomance has been great
6 added mins was so useless. Just more chance of injury. No more diving into tackles for Garnacho, please.
Dalot has been fantastic
And there were members here who wanted to replace ETH with Pochetino. Shambolic.
Relax it's west ham at old Trafford. Let's discuss this next game 😂
Oh sorry. We should have scored against Liverpool when Westham is the team against we playing. Chelsea were playing wolves.
So a win against west ham at home and you are calling ETH a genius....🤦🏻♂️
I don't recall anyone wanting to replace Erik with him? Perhaps some wanted him before we got Erik though.
One chance for Garna plz
So um....as I was saying im glad we kept Garnacho on for the 2nd half
👀
Man watching Garnacho play football is such a beautiful thing. Can be a great great player
Guys... Chelsea 2- Wolves 4 LOL
He's almost scored another fuckin hell
Just sell Amad mate. Kid's a baller and we're pretty much fucking him over to play a fidget spinner in his place. And for anyone who hasn't seen him play, go watch some games from the Championship last season. He made a mockery of players who were 2x his size, and was immense for Sunderland. Tuned in to way too many games just to watch him play. Such a technical player with an insane eye for goal
What championship bargains would you recommend we buy from this season???
The kid missed 6 months with a serious knee injury and is only back in training a couple of weeks. What's to say they're not just being cautious with him?
Being cautious would be letting him play only a couple minutes a few weeks after recovery...
Yet he's on the bench, and isn't even allowed to get 8 mins in a winning game. Being cautious is one thing, not playing him at all is another altogether.
Who is Sky commentator lol?
West Ham has been really poor. I’ll take it. We seem to always pick up teams when they’re at their best.
What position is Scott actually playing lmao? He came on for Mainoo so he *should* be midfield, but he's been floating between the striker position to the right wing occasionally. Honestly it's why I just can't trust him starting or against any big team. Hasn't been a factor here but we're so, so open down the middle when he's in the side.
He's literally man marking Philips out of possession, drifts forward in possession. Won the tackle and bagged an assist. couldn't have played better in the time he was given.
Lads just won the ball back to create an assist, got close to scoring himself and pinged a great cross field ball out to garnacho. What more do you want?
One assist and almost a goal, dont know what position but sure is the right position for him.
Someone mentioned: False 6
Rashford wanted the tikitaka
Varane is a solid defender but he's no Martinez. Lisandro makes our play so much smoother
McTominay is desperate to be our top scorer
i would've nut if McTominay scored that
slowly and sadly giving up hope on Amad getting game time, the lad should not be on the bench while Antony plays but the kid must be doing something in training EtH doesn't like
for fuck sake we played well and won a game comfortably and people still bitching about fringe players noy getting a game.
