The smallest centre back in the top 5 leagues and the slowest centre back in the top 5 leagues.
It's like a challenge you'd set yourself in a videogame and see if you can avoid relegation.

Another game where we ran less that the other team
At home playing deep sat in our own box hoofing the ball up
Carrick ball in full flow
Clueless,
Drawing the game and brings on cb to play fullback ?
Remember Amorim getting blasted on here and in the media for his subs
But carrick is English and is there mate so nothing is said.
20 Sep 2026 18:04:59
Remember when we got completely done by hull on day 1 and people said we were over reacting and United would come back strong
Good times.

I've been accused of being too negative so let's focus on the positives.
Pressing as a unit, desire, passion, intensity, continuing to attack and pressure for more goals after taking the lead. So that's Brighton
Positives for utd. Lacey looks good.

That was absolutely pathetic. they look so unfit. Teilmans has been a disaster, never seen a team give it away so much and the tackling. well its comical. Lost count how many nutmegs United players had against them. a 35 year old just ran United ragged.
Lose sunday, carrick will be gone. im lost for words on how unfit this team is. Pathetic shameful embarrassing. in fact there's not a word created yet to say how disgusted I am with this team now. And don't get me started on dalot ??.

? ? ?.
3.) 16 Sep 2026 22:18:49
We look so poor so unfit. Sideways backwards lose possession sideways backwards lose possession. The player have no fight, they hide from the ball, they don't want any responsibility.
How dalot can play like that against city and get a game today?
4.) 16 Sep 2026 22:28:34
Thing is that he won't be gone they will waste the 3 week break and keep him only to sack him when we are near the relegation zone in January. This board don't have a clue and they also don't want to be proved wrong again so they will hold out till the bitter end. Just warning u.

Sickening loss. I preached patience but I've reflected on it and every trend line including last year as time went on said the same thing - we are getting results that don't match our underlying performance. I supported Amorim because the trends were the opposite. I understand why others were frustrated by some of his game decisions that needed to improve but I could see improvement. And more importantly the culture improved.
Now I see a complete regression. I do believe the players are there to have a decent season but I think the club needs to act decisively and put a proper coach in. Wilcox I believe has made too many errors now and should follow Carrick out the door. I believe in showing patience but not if there is overwhelming evidence to take action and unfortunately I think that's where we are.
6.) 17 Sep 2026 00:17:58
Pointless talking about amorim, but honestly, if he just played bruno as one of the 10s and mainoo in midfield he would probably still be here.
7.) 17 Sep 2026 00:49:00
Tielemans was one of the better United players last night.
Frankly until we get better defenders United will ship goals no matter who is the manager.
Pre season was not great in terms of general play and transfers and confidence is low.
It's going to be a long hard season but we should not blame all the players. That's not fair to the ones who do try.
8.) 17 Sep 2026 00:49:23
He'd still be there if he didn't have an emotional outburst. It was nothing to do with Bruno and Mainoo.
9.) 17 Sep 2026 08:59:06
Tielemens seems to run around that's it. Players ghost past him like he does not exist.
Him and Mainoo should not play together.
10.) 17 Sep 2026 13:09:11
Tielemans is a properly good player. Our structural issue is that instead of the fluid formation with our wide players coming into midfield, Carrick has Rashford and Mbeumo sticking wide at all times and not really needing to come back. Cunha on the left came in to create an overload in the middle and we are way stronger for it. Carrick has sacrificed team cohesion for one player. Maybe when Baleba is back we'll have the athleticism needed for the midfielders to cover the ground to allow whatever Carrick is trying.
But the gaps in our structure are painfully large. Under RA we transitioned from 3-4-3 to 3-2-5 in attack and 5-4-1 in defence but now our structure looks like 4-2-3-1 in all phases. When Carrick came in first some of the transitions still happened but now we're extremely static. We look uncoached.

Deadline day movement at Old Trafford.
A tumbleweed has been seen rolling past the entrance.
1.) 01 Sep 2026 15:03:26
I'm sure there'll be plenty of rumors between now and the end of the window, all of which will fall just short of getting over the line. The club want to appear as though they are actively trying to sign players even if they have no intention of actually doing so.
2.) 01 Sep 2026 15:09:16
Appears the only signing is that young kid from Leicester, maybe.
3.) 01 Sep 2026 15:11:39
I haven't even seen any rumours circulating.
It reminds me of the days when Fergie used to regularly tell us there was no value in the market. Fortunately, he was able to make mediocre players better than they were.
4.) 01 Sep 2026 15:41:30
Sure we'll end up with Regulon at 10.59pm. :D
5.) 01 Sep 2026 15:47:56
@fallguy, I forgot about him. Was touted as being close before Baleba signed, then nothing. Can't see any signings being made. Juve decided not to buy Zirkzee, so seems we have no money to buy an LB.
6.) 01 Sep 2026 16:07:35
Another midfielder, Louis Page, from Leicester for a reported 8 million pounds. What the f*** is this board doing?
7.) 01 Sep 2026 16:14:19
2-7-1 formation.
8.) 01 Sep 2026 17:25:06
Cantona, did you see Ken rolling past Old Trafford? Did he stop to applaud them in their dealings, and tell them, if they are happy, then he is.
9.) 01 Sep 2026 17:46:12
Can't be happy with no lb JSU.
But what you gonna do?
They don't have to answer to me and you at all. It is their business, and they can do whatever they like.
Spotting feathers here won't change that.
I get some like to vent their frustration, but I don't have any frustration.
Disappointment is the feeling I have.
I'm happy enough with the midfield buys, but still too many gaps.
If players on big contracts don't leave, we can't just keep adding players.
Shame, but I'm confident we can do as well as last season, and hopefully get a decent cup run. Just have to wait and see.
The board don't answer to non-shareholders.
We are still suffering for past sins, and it takes time to rectify those mistakes.
Carrick and Co. just need to do their best, and if they do that, we can all know more of them.
There are about a million things much more important to me and in my life, so I don't get frustrated with things I can't or don't control.
Very calm here on my side.
Everyone has a choice on how they act. Some are very emotional about it; I tend not to be.
I'm optimistic for the season ahead. I see no reason not to be.
Would have liked a lb, cb, rb and cf, but if they don't come, then we have to do better with what we have. There's no drama.
10.) 01 Sep 2026 18:48:04
Oh Ken please sob into your pint like others here seem to. The end of the world is nigh.
I agree with you. realistically I can do sod all about potential signings and so I just sit back and enjoy the transfer window for what it is.
Last year's third place was a false position. Others faltered badly and we snuck in to that place. The year before we were in the bottom six. Where's our true position. I would suggest now it's too six or seven.
The signings we have made are an improvement in the squad although Casemeiro goals will be missed as will his character. Overall though we should have a decent year building on last year.
To expect us to go from bottom six to world beaters so quickly is unrealistic
11.) 01 Sep 2026 20:29:26
Fair play to Zirkzee. All roads post Utd are a decline, and he wants to stay and fight for his place. Good luck to him. I think he'll serve as a backup 9.
12.) 01 Sep 2026 20:31:55
Salford, will the one league goal in 2024-2025 be missed, or the one league goal in 2023-2024? People only remember recent performances, but the 9 goals Casemiro scored last year are not the rule but the exception. He will be missed, of course, but not for his goals.
13.) 01 Sep 2026 21:21:35
There is still enough time for transfers, guys. What are you talking about? It's so obvious we will sign a LB and a ST! It was obvious 3 weeks ago, 2 weeks ago, a week ago, and it still is! We are just waiting for the perfect moment!
14.) 01 Sep 2026 21:46:30
I tend to be optimistic.
Carrick was not my preference, but his results earned him a shot at the job, so until that changes consistently he will have my support.
I really like our midfield signings, and I think they will justify themselves and improve our play considerably.
I also like the attacking options we have. Like most, I would like to have seen Rashford and/or Zirkzee move on to free up space for another striker, but they never left.
The squad looks super unified and happy despite such a rotten 1st game.
I have good confidence in our keeper.
Our defence is weak, we need a lb badly, and I'm very disappointed with an hour left we don't have one. Bad error imo.
2 games in, I've seen nothing to say any of the teams below us last season have improved any more than us, except Chelsea perhaps, but they look ropey at the back too.
I'm not doom and gloom about the season at this stage. 10 or 12 games in will give a reasonably robust indication of how much each team has improved.
15.) 01 Sep 2026 23:17:02
I don't think that the squad we have is too bad, but we should have done better, mostly because there is so much happening at the other clubs, and it was a great chance to be one step ahead of them.
Some big holes in the squad, and nothing was done about it, although it was obvious since May which positions are critical.

Window closed, so in Luke Shaw we must trust and hope he can play 50 odd games without injury.
01 Sep 2026 20:37:09
I don't see the point in signing an unknown quantity for lb and letting Amass go for peanuts. Page would be great, but I'd rather see Amass given a chance than sign Salinas. If we get a lb then Hall or Raum is the way forward.

I am truly shocked by these leaks as I didn't think we had any tactics.
26 Sep 2026 09:24:46
80 point deduction and they would probably still end up finishing above us lol.
22 Sep 2026 06:54:15
Yes but only 6 of those 20 something shots were on target and only 2 of those were ours.
20 Sep 2026 20:02:24
Neville realised he not cut out to be a manager and picked a job as a pundit becuase he was good at it. If only carrick had made that realisation of his own after boro.
20 Sep 2026 18:55:06
Who else can play. Baleba is crocked, mount has legs made of poppadoms and carrick doesn't trust santos.
