Manchester United

This bit in bold is already a stretch and sounds like a United fan trying to convince themselves they're back

I've found the full strength pre-season friendly line-ups amusing , he's clearly desperate to build up some belief before the season starts

Nope, both are showing bit and both have pace, FWIW with a decent coach both can offer something.

They clearly bought Erikssen to wind up Bruno F. Trying to inject a bit of humour into their existential hell. ETH calls the players in to name the starting team for Saturday. The fact that Maguire is still named is no longer funny. Stuck with the greatest wrongfooted clueless albatross in football history as your £80m team captain. But to name the guy who died of a heart attack ahead of Bruno is comedy gold. No one could fail to laugh at that epic hissy fit that would ensue.

I am loving this sort of chat from Martinez.

“If I have to step over dead bodies, I will do it”… reassuring for eriksen, the kinda treatment he’d get if he has another episode, haha

Are we sure that’s not Slabhead McGuire? It’d explain quite a bit

Is that the fella who looks like a baby but is actually a grown man?

In what world is Tielemans an obvious second choice if you were are looking for a midfielder that plays like de Jong?



Ahh gotta love the Mancs and their scattershot transfer strategy.

[ChesterDave]

He's a far cheaper and less complicated option than Frenkie de Jong.

I suppose the player having no desire to play for the club is a pretty big complication

Their approach in the market does feel like us back in the 2000s buy a name to fit into the side rather than look at how we're going to play and buy accordingly.

Interesting to see how they go next season and wonder how much time the fans give ETH until they remember the green and gold shirts and are demanding the Glaziers out

that's an interesting way to think about it!
