Manchester United Transfer Banter

05 Dec 2025 19:41:16
Anyone else getting a bit tired of the repetitive excuses, the players don't get it yet, I. e. the System 12 months in We didn't control the game for the full game, no team does.

The simple issue for me is the work rate, tempo and constant passing backwards and sideways. More work rate, quicker tempo, and be more direct passing would great improve things for a start!

06 Dec 2025 08:15:29
Tell me which players we have, particularly in midfield, that are capable of controlling a game. We’ve not had any since Scholes hung up his boots. We don’t have a Modric or Vitinha. It’s certainly not Mainoo. His best position is a 10.

Midfield and wing backs are shockingly bad. Bruno, our best yet predictably most inconsistent player, should also be a 10. Casemiro wouldn’t get in any other top-10 side. The guy runs through treacle and can’t finish 90mins now. Ugarte is younger yet worse.

Up front isn’t great either. Zirkzee is awful. Sesko injured and needs a season to adjust. Cunha has hardly set the world on fire and Mbeumo is regressing amongst it all.

Beggars belief that this site blames this abject group of players for throwing managers under the bus yet still turns on every manager when results turn.

We don’t need to sack a manager (who has the guts to not give in to absurd media pressure to play Mainoo who is not the solution) we need to fix the squad problems. Mainoo isn’t great. He’s simply a tool to bash the manager with. If we’d bought him from another team 5-years ago rather than raise him in the academy there wouldn’t be any of this fuss. It’s all foolish romanticising void of any logic or reason.

Jeez.

mainoo isn't great its just a tool to bash the manager with
Go ask other pages how many clubs would take him he's a young lad being mishandled by the manager.
I mean he's that poor he played in the england team to a final last tournament.


Lets bash a player because the manager doesn't fancy him its that simple
Rewind 18months we would all want him built round now he's a 10 and simply not good enough jesus!

06 Dec 2025 13:39:40
Utter garbage Treble

Mainoo simply isn’t good enough. And that’s opinion not a ‘bash’. He’s slow. Lacks physicality. Yet you want him playing in an area that demands that. He may have 2, 3 maybe even 5 good moments in a game. But that’s not good enough.

It staggers me how clueless some supporters are.

06 Dec 2025 13:46:03
Who decided Mainoo's besy position is as a 10? Amorim, that's who. That's not where he played in his breakout season for Unted or England, yet here you sre buying into a false narrative. His treatment has been shocking.

06 Dec 2025 14:43:12
AJH he's played in all but 4 games. Ok it's limited minutes but he hasn't taken his chances.

06 Dec 2025 15:39:43
BRD - Mainoo isn't that great? Okay mate ?.

07 Dec 2025 08:13:25
No he isn’t angel

Look at the long list of top clubs not interested in buying him. There’s your evidence.

Some good posts on the Match Posts page.

RA has one trick and when it doesn't work there is nowhere to go. To lose at home to 10 man Everton and then to huff and puff against a poor West Ham team is pretty horrible, the win against Palace masks our current form but they were knackered, a fact acknowledged by both Managers.

The fact so many teams are inconsistent this year is keeping us mid table, we have improved but we are still horrible to watch and unconvincing.

RA's treatment of Mainoo is criminal. Kobe was a rising star, one of our stand out players, scored the winner in the Cup final, and broke into the England team, and yet he can't get into our poor performing team. RA has made his mind up, instead of polishing the diamond, he leaves him on the bench all the time, and sadly, some fans have bought into this bizarre narrative.

The Manager needs to motivate the team, but the lack of energy and urgency we see in games is alarming.

Lovely guy, out of his depth, no tactical nous, no ability to influence games, unable to motivate players, that's what I see.

I hate watching us, I have no confidence we will win any game, its all very depressing. And RA has done nothing to suggest he can change things.

05 Dec 2025 19:53:53
“I hate watching us”, i can't echo this enough, this is not a sophisticated take or a tactical take but i can't agree enough.

We make the game of football look really hard lol, there is very little flow or feel about the way we play.

If we lose against Wolves on Monday and give them their first win of the season, we are firmly back at square one and the pressure will be back on Amorim.

05 Dec 2025 21:30:12
It is a horrible watch and I don't see it getting better. The most pivotal attacking roles in this system falls to Dalot and Dorgu and whatever mediocre wing back is played.

05 Dec 2025 22:13:10
Is there any actual pressure on Amorim though dsg? Maybe from fans and the media but by all accounts the owners are content with him and have no intention of removing him. Love to know what statistics or data they are seeing that the rest of us arent.

06 Dec 2025 07:47:46
Tim

I hear social media is alive with rumour the Glazers want Amorim out whilst SjR and co don’t, yet.

06 Dec 2025 12:46:33
Great, so basically our ownership model is convoluted and indecisive. If true obviously!

This season has to be the strangest, we have seen, with every team, apart from Arsenal, being so i consistent. I don't know what our finances will allow, but if we can get a strong midfielder in January, we could really push for top four.

The Afcon, will effect us though, but even with our poor results we can go 4th tonight with a win at home. There definitely a good team spirit there, but just need that high tempo hard work in every game now.

04 Dec 2025 09:03:19
It is one of those seasons where any team that puts a run together will push up the table. It is possible that as the season goes on we feel the benefit of no eurpean football even more as other teams begin to juggle league/europe/fa cup.

The Afcon will definitely be something we will struggle with but I am hopeful that others will step up and potentially we go early with a January addition. We could see some of the youth players step up to the first team as well which we have been calling for.

04 Dec 2025 12:46:16
It is very similar to last season, where Liverpool were the consistent team and the rest weren't.

It's a Yoyo league this year.

04 Dec 2025 13:44:04
It’s very odd with RA. He doesn’t seem to like playing the youth players that much.

04 Dec 2025 17:13:54
Who should be have played and when fallguy?

04 Dec 2025 18:20:30
We . at see some youth get ayed in the fa cup. and also as the season concludes.
Playing them for the sake of it is the right approach, they need to earn the nod, or the opposition need to be at their level.
Maybe RA learnt a lot from the Grimsby outing.

04 Dec 2025 19:04:22
You need to remember Fallguy, many of the likely candidates for the first team are in the U21s and the most likely player's are out on loan to gain experience.

There is a significant number in that position, also it is a case of the right player's for the right available position's. Furthermore, when the team was struggling it is not the best time to risk a youngster possibly being unfairly criticised by some of our ''fans''.

Having said that I think there is a strong possibility that come AFCON Shea Lacey will be given an opportunity on the right hand side, to cover for Mbeumo and Amad. I hope he does get the chance as he has been performing well for the U18s.

04 Dec 2025 19:15:11
Well, well, just seen the team for tonight. Ayden Heaven playing central CB. Promoted from academy, he is not long turned 19. He has, of course, had some injury problems which has kept him away from the first team.

04 Dec 2025 22:18:35
Somebody from the under 14’s side would probably do a better job than Dorgu and Ugarte!

04 Dec 2025 22:54:09
Fallguy. Who do you think he spoils have played and when.

Is this the 1st time ever united will have more players going to the afcon than they have English players going to the wc?

03 Dec 2025 17:51:10
Hi Ed, can you check on 2 different logins? Je suis unite posts suspiciously similar to redrebel1 on the Liverpool page. Just had a quick check and I'm intrigued.

Just hearing news that Remi Moses has passed away.
Very sad news, RIP Remi!

{Ed025's Note - very sad Sim0 and only 65...RIP Remi..

Mitten has confirmed that this is incorrect and Remi is alive and well.

Really. apologies my bad.

By all accounts it’s a hoax! Disgusting if that’s true, even worse by his wife! What’s the world coming too.
