He's just saved his second penalty of the game against Milan (Tammy missed!) Decent save as well. Coaching standards have certainly slipped there. De Gea actually didn't save any of the 30 + penalties he faced in the prem between 2012-21 or something ridiculous. Also didn't save one of the 11 penalties he faced in the Europa league final against Unai's Villareal. If there's one player in the prem who desperately needs a new club it's Rashford.

The Fun Factory Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago They have a terrible squad and lack pace. I was surprised that Eriksen basically plays as a defensive midfielder nowadays as his legs have gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an excellent keeper for United overall but did start to regularly drop clangers. For a few seasons he was top quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're well suited as Rashford is the personification of United. Flash but flawed, occasionally decent but largely lethargic/underwhelming & now massively living off the name and past achievements. Not sure if it was Woodward but Rashford showed a propensity to down tools so the decision give him the multi-year 250/300k per week is criminal. Those types of moves hold them back. For that type of money he should be walking into the front 3 of all/most top 6 teams and I'd struggle to see him displacing anyone in the top 8... Grealish/Doku, Martnelli/Trossard, Diaz, Neto/Nkunku, Rogers, HM Son, Gordon, Mitoma etc. 1 hour ago, Genie said: He was an excellent keeper for United overall but did start to regularly drop clangers.

His standards defo started to drop but most would argue that they didn't fall to such an extent that it made sense to let him go on a free and spend >£50m on Onana who would command not too dissimilar wages. ETH thought that was a good move I should add, I love seeing them be **** so please keep it up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's not as simple as 'they'd be challenging for the title without him' but he has to take the blame for the formations and instructions to the players, and most of the blame for the signings of those players. Those are the main problem areas! The Glazers can take the knock for the waterfalls from the roof, but we're proof ourselves that having a dated, worn-out ground doesn't prevent good performances on the pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think there's something wrong at the club. That maybe I can't put my finger on, but the same kind of thing that was wrong at Villa when we went down, or is wrong at Everton now. Man utd won't go down but there's something rotten at the club. It feels like it needs a complete rebuild But yeah the manager isn't helping. He's crap, and not just with how he operates on the footballing side, but how defensive he is with the media, and how he throws players under the bus etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but then their board members get to say they signed this kid who was a big deal once upon a time, look at us still competing The same as eriksen, casemiro, the various strikers and then the stupid signings like anthony and Sancho, look at them competing with man city Alexis Sanchez... It's all optics for end of year reports and shareholders Man utd can't be on the decline that much when they're signing big names for lots of money Edited 1 hour ago by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted 32 minutes ago Share Posted 32 minutes ago (edited) Their recruitment meetings must be good fun. Reviewing all the dozens of scouting reports of quality experienced players and wonder kids then just signing a player from the dutch league because ten Hag has his number in his phone already.
