Jesse Lingard has completed his move to Brazil, joining Corinthians.
1.) 07 Mar 2026 17:04:07
Hopefully the clown stays there.
2.) 07 Mar 2026 17:24:40
What makes him a clown, Spence? Contributed massively to a few of the trophies we have won in the last 10 years, too.
3.) 07 Mar 2026 21:30:51
Behave, mate. He threw away his football career, and you know it.
4.) 07 Mar 2026 21:58:16
Nope, he went through well-documented off-the-field family issues. He did well, came through the academy, played around 150 games for us, scored some massive goals, and was a key player in some of the rare trophies we've won since 2013. If that's throwing away your career, then so be it.
5.) 07 Mar 2026 22:45:58
Yep, Pspence, I think you've gotten that one badly wrong. Jesse had a few really good years here. And his decision in going to Seoul meant a huge pay drop. He embraced the culture there and is a fan favourite despite a rocky start there.
6.) 08 Mar 2026 12:08:27
Lingard gave us some good times. He's a character, but he's done well, and come through some tough times. He's one of our own, a Northwest lad who played for United.
He's playing in Brazil, apparently for a very low wage. He's experiencing the world, and fair play to him. Wish him the best.
7.) 08 Mar 2026 12:37:42
Lingard's a very promising young player.
8.) 08 Mar 2026 22:02:56
He was more interested in off field antics than football. Having issues doesn't excuse him; we all have issues, but that doesn't mean we stop turning up to work.
9.) 14 Mar 2026 18:56:38
Wasn't he a catalyst in dragging a few players down to his off-field issues?
10.) 16 Mar 2026 10:25:50
PSpence, he didn't stop turning up for work. I think he had a fine career. Sure, some of his antics are questionable and not for everyone. It's usually a generational thing.
Arguments can be made that he didn't fulfill the potential he had and he made some errors along the way, but being an academy graduate, trophies, England caps, travelling, and playing in different parts of the world.
When all is said and done, he should look back fondly.
11.) 17 Mar 2026 16:03:13
Every single player on here would love to have had the career Lingard did and experience what he has done.
He will have regrets, but who doesn't? Even Frank Sinatra had a few.
But he seems happy, so who are we to judge. He may have achieved most of his life goals, and not everybody can say that.
Not everybody is the same.
Maybe he got what he wanted or his career was more important to him than what you think he should have got out of it.
He never seemed to put football ahead of everything, but most people don't put their career before everything, only the really special, dedicated ones do, and they are few and far between.

Thomas Frank sacked by Spurs. Roberto De Zerbi leaves Marseille by mutual consent. Coincidence?
1.) 11 Feb 2026 17:08:55
If your implying de zero goes to spurs I hope so he's a woeful coach.
2.) 12 Feb 2026 08:13:08
Dyche also gone. Forest owner is an embarrassment, hope they go down.
3.) 12 Feb 2026 09:38:33
Sacking Nuno was a disgrace at Forest. The irony is he’ll keep West Ham up most likely based on their recent form at the expense of Forest.
Forest are the new Watford.
4.) 12 Feb 2026 10:08:30
Would like to see Di Zerbi and Frank back in the premier league soon as their Brighton and Brentford sides were excellent performers for their respective budgets.
For the Dyche, the championship beckons if he wants to get back into work.
5.) 12 Feb 2026 20:56:03
Im not a fan of dyche.
I like de zerbi but he seems very emotional but I like the way his teams play.
Frank is a solid citizen. Seems like a good guy and i'd like toto see them both back at work soon. I hope they choose the right appointments.

Manchester United sack Ruben Amorim in the wake of rising tension at Old Trafford; Amorim dismissed after meeting with Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox; Darren Fletcher to take charge of United for Wednesday's game at Burnley; Amorim departs after 14 months in charge.
1.) 05 Jan 2026 11:23:27
The press conference yesterday sealed his fate. Otherwise he would have seen the season through.
2.) 05 Jan 2026 11:29:49
Rinse and repeat. And so the cycle continues.
3.) 05 Jan 2026 11:40:03
Who we thinking for his long term replacement then?
I believe Glasner is the favourite.
4.) 05 Jan 2026 12:00:26
Glasner? The guy who plays 343? That will go well here. It shouldn't be ever so long before some turn on him due to his 'formation'.
5.) 05 Jan 2026 12:11:25
Here’s hoping Wilcox follows him out the door.
6.) 05 Jan 2026 12:56:35
Ed001, you mentioned that the club were willing to get rid of Wilcox. Is this something they could still do?
I have not been impressed with what I’ve heard about him. That he sucked up to Ratcliffe and undermined Ashworth to steal his job. I feel like we need a proven DoF to come in and sort out the mess.
{Ed001's Note - I think it is very likely he will be replaced as well, in a couple of months or so when it will not seem related.}
7.) 05 Jan 2026 15:12:05
Thanks, Ed001.

Man Utd team news
Man Utd: Lammens, Dalot, Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw, Amad, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Mbeumo, Mount, Zirkzee.
Subs: Bayindir, Dorgu, Heaven, Malacia, Martinez, Mazraoui, Mainoo, Ugarte, Lacey.
1.) 30 Nov 2025 10:49:34
Not a team that looks like being able to beat a good palace team. But looking at the bench there wasn’t many other options.
2.) 30 Nov 2025 11:28:08
That team looks poor in 3421 but I’d say looks decent in a 433.
3.) 30 Nov 2025 11:42:55
So far absolutely awful. its terrible. Utd are so crap it unbelievable.
4.) 30 Nov 2025 13:15:50
Never in doubt ?? where didthat second half performance come from? Brilliant result after Mondays shambles.
5.) 30 Nov 2025 14:27:57
Feels much better after the win. Second half was much better but the issues with CM and the left side remain. Licha back could be huge and Mazraoui probably starts now before Yoro. A left side with Licha, Shaw and Cunha has enough quality I think. Others here I know don't believe Shaw can handle LWB but 60 minutes from him with Dorgu/ Dalot playing the remainder would be a significant improvement.
We're not particularly fluid but mostly the upward trend from last year is clear. Today was another game we'd have lost last year.
6.) 30 Nov 2025 21:43:26
We need to grind out results. This match last year, would have resulted in a loss for Utd.
I do believe that when Licha is fully fit and capable of playing 90 mins, that Shaw should play LWB. Dorgu and Dalot haven't impressed. I thought that Malacia might even be given a chance. It appears he is just making up the numbers.
7.) 01 Dec 2025 07:21:02
The work rate in the aecond half was excellent. We outfought Palace and that was tremendous to see.
8.) 02 Dec 2025 13:40:10
I think some of our season ticket holders should be vetted for suitability and have their tickets revoked. #getridoftheantifansgivetheirseattoatourist.
9.) 02 Dec 2025 14:18:23
Outfought a team that played less than 72 hours earlier and your bragging about that, I know we have to be grateful for small mercies but that’s pushing it… we won let’s just take that not start saying we were excellent.
10.) 03 Dec 2025 03:47:31
Difficult one Ken. Whilst in principal I agree, I was a season ticket holder for 30 years. For 12 years of that I was in the armed forces. Whilst based in UK I was there every week. But for 5 years I was based overseas. Some of that was in Europe so made efforts to get back every now and then. However some of it was in I was unable to travel so “sold” my tickets out of the folder at the Trafford Arms.
That gave me some return on my season ticket and meant that I could retain it throughout that period. I gave it up in 2005 after living in Oz as it was clear I would not be returning permanently. I am now happy that some do sell their tickets and know I can go to the Trafford Arms and get a ticket if required.
11.) 03 Dec 2025 06:25:47
Edit. However some of it was in a place that cannot be mentioned and I was unable to travel.

Manchester United transfer target Senne Lammens has not been named in the Royal Antwerp team to face Mechelen today.
1.) 24 Aug 2025 14:17:26
Beat me to it by a minute there Fizz!
2.) 24 Aug 2025 15:43:27
6 Minutes ;)

Thankfully, this is not a mathematics site otherwise it would clearly be doom and gloom.

I don't think the surrounding area is right. We used to have a foundry and engineering shop on Trafford Park Road. I was there every working day for 7-8 years, albeit I'm now a senile old geyser whose memory may be shot. Something looks back to front.

I think it's AI generated, newname. So it wouldn't be accurate.

Who is Al and what does he know!?
12 Feb 2026 09:04:07
Being widely reported that Tuchel is to extend his England contract to 2028. That will disappoint those here who want him as our next manager. Personally, I'm pleased.
1.) 12 Feb 2026 10:04:56
Im pleased too.
2.) 12 Feb 2026 12:15:17
Yeah I am happy with that too.
3.) 12 Feb 2026 12:18:17
What are people's thoughts on what our strategy should be for a new manager? If we look at Cuty's roadmap, they went for Mancini and Pellegrini before graduating to elite and hiring pep.
So both Mancini and Pellegrini brought a culture, play style and success and then Pep has built on that.
I personally think its a ridiculous ask to actively seek some kind of SMB and SAF characters. They're bi-generational managers.
Id prefer proven like those two pre-pep managers
My top 3 would be.
1.Ancellotti
2.Mancini (amazed this has never cropped up, he's a transformation manager)
3. Conte
They are not up and coming, they're serial winners. All match the gravitas of the club with only Conte being the outlier in being a little fiery.
Thoughts?
4.) 12 Feb 2026 18:31:39
What about McKenna.
11 Feb 2026 09:02:39
What should happen in the 12-day break our team now has?
Carrington, every day working on fitness?
Reserves sitting deep and starting 11 working on breaking down a low block?
A couple of behind-closed-door friendlies?
A warm weather camp abroad?
A straightforward break for all to recharge?
1.) 11 Feb 2026 09:15:07
Try and break the mould of Eth 2.0 would be a damn good place to start after that performance.
2.) 11 Feb 2026 09:27:09
A point against what is now a well drilled team, in form, fighting for their lives away from home. Take your medicine and a point, learn a lot from it, and move on to a similar team who we should beat.
Loving the finish from Sesko - slow burner but yes beginning to earn to the Utd shirt now. West Ham blocked the spaces brilliantly nullifying Amad, Cunha and Mbeumo. Should have gone more directly sooner.
3.) 11 Feb 2026 10:16:53
There rumours of a friendly against AC Milan in Saudi Arabia. But I don't think thst is happening.
4.) 11 Feb 2026 18:09:39
I do find the concern fans have over a low block to be slightly out of proportion in my opinion.
There is a reason why poorer sides tend to use it against sides with superior players, it's effective and statistically the best chance they have of getting a result.
Only the very best sides can consistently play against a low block and beat it. Typically to beat a low block you need one of three things.
1. A mistake from the opposition, someone not tracking their runner, losing their individual battles, giving the ball away in a dangerous place, or gifting a penalty.
2. A moment of unbelievable magic and invention from a player who does something you just can't stop. Hitting a 40 yard screamer into the top corner, dribbling past 4 or 5 players with the ball glued to his foot, rising 2.5m into the air to head a ball home that no one else can reach.
3. Having a team full of world class players who can just relentlessly pummel the opposition until they break and concede.
That's it. There is no clever tactical plan to make good to average players suddenly capable of consistently beating a low block through the brilliance of their play.
I mean Arsenal have spent over a billion creating a top class squad, and even they tend to rely on starting 4 CB's to overwhelm the opposition at corners to consistently beat low blocks.
We are a long way from having a top class squad to be able to overwhelm the opposition and beat the teams that will let you have the ball and stick two banks of four in front of the ball. We will have to rely on either moments to brilliance or the opposition making a mistake. Neither of which you can consistently rely on.

Casemiro saying farewell. A great player.
Video farewell
22 Jan 2026 09:00:11
This was widely reported in the press yesterday. Possibly with Ugarte involved in part exchange. Seems versatile as a FB, CB and DM.
05 Jan 2026 13:18:17
Tuchel? ????
Noooo!
05 Jan 2026 12:00:26
Glasner? The guy who plays 343? That will go well here. It shouldn't be ever so long before some turn on him due to his 'formation'.
05 Jan 2026 10:31:04
He was manager of the month not long ago, and everything was looking pretty good. As soon as we've hit a bad patch, with a squad affected by AFCON, everyone has gone mad.
05 Jan 2026 08:30:09
Sad if this comes to pass as you describe, Ed001, because we are improving under RA. So the merry-go-round continues. When will the lunacy end?!
{Ed001's Note - I believe he had won, but then went public over it. If he had just stayed quiet, I believe things would have changed in his favour. Now I can't see that they have a choice but to get rid, because you can't allow your employees to simply publicly revolt against their bosses.}
20 Mar 2026 10:59:15
A good, conclusive, dominant and exciting win will be blinding, but any old scrape through 3 points will do at this moment in time.
20 Mar 2026 09:09:33
Couldn't be bothered to join the previous thread?

Gonna go on the piss with Georgie Best.
20 Mar 2026 07:20:29
Maze, it isn't a question of a sell on value, it's much more about building a team around a player who hasn't much time before the risk of his legs going becomes an issue that has to be replaced, again, in short order. That's my issue with a player's age.
19 Mar 2026 16:14:26
