I was still holding out a small bit of hope, contrary to all reason.
It’s amazing this Manchester United team are near the top 4.
Worse than the sum of very poor parts. How anybody can be persuaded that Wan Bissaka is worth spending £50 million or, shudder, Maguire £80 million ...
Those are the two players who most immediately come to mind, for sure. Utterly horrific, the both of them.
Wow. What technique from Cancelo.
I've resigned myself to the City win so I'd love the last 10 minutes to be filled with a demoralizing amount of City possession without increasing their goal differential. Which finally provokes Maguire to snap and break a City player in half.
Providing the change in manager happens at the same time as a change in league; it's possible
They just have no plan really do they? Wan Bissaka was a very good and highly rated right back before he joined them but it was Crystal clear that he was barely average in possession and gives close to nothing going forward.
No top side plays with fullbacks like that anymore, it’s like signing a keeper that’s a great shot stopper but is useless with the ball at his feet.
No complaints here though, long may it continue

Thought he was off on first viewing too, but he was on. The defender’s trailing leg played Mahrez on.
4-1 is a fair reflection on the match.
Very concisely put. I doubt there is a single-player in that squad for which other clubs with sensible DOFs would consider paying 25% of what United paid. Leeds should conduct an investigation on who authorized 30 million for Daniel James.
85 million for Maguire, 50 million for Bissakka, 85 million plus for Pogba, insane wages for DDG, Juan Mata is still there - has he done anything of note since 2013? That entire generation of Spanish players have retired for the most part. How come he still has a contract.
Long may it continue.
Wan Bissaka and Maguire were such lazy signings. They were doing ok at mid level clubs and getting a load of media praise so United went out and paid a fortune for them.
They're so bad ...
I also think those two signings are a result of them trying to copy us.
They saw how Klopp was using fullbacks and getting a lot of praise on the development of TAA. They just went and decided to purchase the next media hyped-up English fullback on the market.
They saw how VVD elevated us and then decided to copy that with Maguire.
Yep, but easily done. We did the same on Benteke and Lovren.
Lovren any day of the week over Maguire. Feel like he gets a bad rep because of his personality and is easily dislikable.
Lovren was way more competent for us than Maguire has been for United.
I would take Lovren over Maguire too, but Lovren was never the leader and organiser that the media suggested he was
Agreed. Though relative to slabhead's captaincy, Lovren's leadership is Steven Gerrard, Hyppia, and Souness rolled into one.
Wan-Bissaka was billed as a dogged defender with endurance and pace, although limited going forward. Not only has he failed to improve with the ball, he's become an utter liability at the back. Barely Premier League standard at this point, so shot is his confidence.
Maguire was the product of a good system at Leicester, who have fleeced several teams. Slow as an oil tanker on the turn, just pig stupid, and several layers above his level. They'd do well to sell him to Burnley. Or maybe back to Hull.
Rashford has fallen off, Greenwood is a rapist, Ronaldo likely is too, and Sancho still has it all to prove.
Pogba is actually class on his day but is surrounded by dross and isn't the type of leader to pull it all together. Fernandes is also class but an utter wanker.
And De Gea is the shot-stopper-but-shit-with-the-ball-at-his-feet mentioned above. Brilliant shot stopper, in fact, but doesn't command his box and not capable of playing sweeper-keeper, which means all the space behind Slabhead is exploitable by any team with pace or nous.
Fred actually has started to look more impressive of late, so shit that entire squad is.

The problem is that United have bought hype players, they dont have a Klopp to take these players to another level and instill some consistency in them.
To me Sancho is utter shit, tell me he is some rich guys Ibe. Pogba is just rubbish, there is no doubt about that now after what 4 years at united. Garbage, utter garbage.

He’d be better still on the right side of the bench, far away from the pitch.
However I fully support any Man Utd manger persisting with him on the pitch .
