@preciouscfc8 @sliceinterlude We’re acting like Arteta hasn’t been humiliated online for the past 2 years.

Rosenior LinkedIn jokes might be funny but it is telling that pretty much every Black coach that dares to be somewhat ‘intellectual’ with their tactics and messaging gets labelled as a ‘Linkedin’, ‘charlatan’ or ‘hipster’ coach that doesn’t deserve their position

@FootballEra_ I do feel like most mainstream pundits discussing the title race are neglecting the fact City bought 2 top level PL players in January. Arteta would have wrapped the league up by now with that privilege.
English
They signed Nico Gonzalez for £65m in 2025 January window just because Rodri got injured, he wasn’t good enough, and they binned him.
They signed Reijnders last summer for £70m, used him for a few games, he wasn’t good enough, they binned him instantly.
Now they’re about to sign Elliot Anderson for £100m.
That’s close to £250m spent on a single position in the space of a year, no other club has that kind of financial luxury.
This is what Arsenal are up against, financial cheats with endless pool of blood money. All their trophies are asterisked in my eyes.

🚨 Manchester City are prepared to make a very important financial proposal to Elliot Anderson, leading the race as revealed since March. Manchester United still attentive and keen if Man City deal won’t happen. Nothing advanced with Forest yet. 🎥 youtu.be/3Ig8tR8OcHs

I’ll say this, at least Mike_LUHG f*cked off to Real Madrid, but sadly we still have his disciples amongst us.

I’ve accepted it. Not because I believe in it - but for my own sanity. Michael Carrick will most likely be here next season. But let me say this clearly for those expecting a “new version” with signings… Nothing is going to change. Not because the players won’t be good enough. But because this is how he plays. Go back to Middlesbrough - same football. Go back to his time under Ole Gunnar Solskjær - same patterns. Sit deep. Stay compact. Wait for moments. Counter. That’s the identity. And identity doesn’t change because you buy new players. You can upgrade profiles… But you can’t upgrade ideas. So don’t expect control. Don’t expect dominance. Don’t expect a team that dictates games. Expect what we’re already seeing. Underdog football. Reactive football. Moments over structure. And here’s the uncomfortable truth… If this is the direction, then we’re not building to compete - we’re building to cope.

@Altgthr @Mike87_United I think Iraola’s style translates better to a top 6 team than Frank’s did. I was always quite surprised Spurs went for him over Iraola.
English
@Mike87_United Iraola has a bit of the Thomas Frank’s about him.
Xavi - zero league experience and not managed for a while. All come with risks as well.
English
If you can’t get Enrique, Naglesmann, Ancelotti, Tuchel then you get a Xavi or a Iraola. Quality coaches who have track records of serving up good football. You don’t give the job to a bloke who was sacked by Middlesbrough and has us playing some of the worst football in the PL.

Who are the five most recent central midfield academy graduates to have started at least 10 Premier League matches for Manchester United?

Robert Pires later apologised to Dejan Stefanovic for his dive. Arsenal draw 1-1 vs Portsmouth.

@_Lewis88 @BallProgression Agreed. I saw someone in the comments mention eating a banana before hand. I tried that once and felt like I burnt through it in my first 2-3 sets.

@MarkSau23333740 @AndyMitten @TheAthleticFC But we’ll be playing 2 games a week most of the season so it’s realistic he’ll play weekly. Plus all it takes is 1 injury and he basically picks himself.
I also think Yoro needs some development and requires an experienced head next to him, so that also limits options.
English
@ChrisRedDevil99 @AndyMitten @TheAthleticFC Appreciate the reply.
This is my point, H (to his credit) doesnt want to be just a body, he wants to start regularly. So if he does sign a new deal, I feel as though this will be a promise he will have been given. That is what In questioning. Feels financial rather than sporting

Why it makes sense for MUFC to offer Harry Maguire a new contract.
- the interest from elsewhere, home and abroad
- insight on what he brings to the team
- the financial sense
- no more playing while injured

@MarkSau23333740 @AndyMitten @TheAthleticFC He’s been great this season, and his experience is crucial considering we’re already losing Casemiro, and the only other experienced CB can’t stay fit.
Also, Europe is going to hit this squad like a tonne of bricks next season - we need bodies.
It’s a no brainer to keep Harry.
English
@AndyMitten @TheAthleticFC -Weaknesses get highlighted in a back 4.
-Wants to start.
-Are we really going to rely on a 33 year old whos always lacked pace, isnt the objective to play on the front foot with a high line?
Oh! I know why we want to keep him, less outlay on a new CB and a paycut #glazernomics
English
@ronaldobrown_98 We should have tried to get Garner before he signed a new contract.

Mason Mount runs at people fast though so top reds love him.
