Pupils in years 7 and 8 enjoyed a cycle speedway session at @aandtcycling over the weekend: well done to pupils Saahil, Elliot, Aiden, Ryan and Harry who were involved with OM Mike Hack (66-73). #cycling

@mrmujac I was there and have no objection to paying £10 admission fee. What I do object to is the Club only allowing permit holders to park in the car parks at the ground. There were plenty of available spaces and some of the car parks were manned at the gates.

A poor performance overall but three pieces of individual magic, some good tactical switches by Fletcher and it was enough to see us through. Well done to the youngsters...although the small crowd (2,516) was disappointing.

@mrmujac Cheers, I was there tonight

@HullVikings "I want gate one, Ian".

Best caption please….. #HullNeedsSpeedway

@HenshallAlfie I want gate 1 Ian.

@SwedishRumble Ferguson was the master of squad rotation. But United often won titles with 80-85 points. Guardiola and Klopp changed that with their teams capable of getting 100 points. But, I agree with your point, effective rotation of a capable squad has to be done.

We are seeing how PL teams are tired in Europe -- but it is just as clear in the PL. There is a huge drop off for teams, after City and Arsenal, depending on whether they are playing in Europe or not. 🔺I've commented on this in the past -- the way this is heading, clubs must adjust significantly. Top managers in the PL do not rotate their teams. We complain on the schedule, FIFA, UEFA, the FA. Reality is that it is completely unrealistic to expect the schedule to be reduced with more than 1-2 games per season. Even if it was reduced with 8 games -- teams would still have similar issues. 🔺It is really quite simple. A manager does not rotate his team, because the only way to compete at the absolute top has been for managers like Mourinho, Klopp and Pep to play almost the same XI every single game, and pray for everyone to stay healthy. If 3-4 managers try the same thing, one of them will get lucky and have a healthy squad, and win the title. But is this the case anymore? Teams winning the PL have gone from getting 100 pts to what, 80-85 pts nowadays. Especially with the CWC and in World Cup seasons, I am not sure if the best alternative anymore is to have the strategy to play your core players till they drop and hope for the best. When you pull up the stats for any top PL team, its the same. Below is Arsenal who have shown so many signs of being very tired lately. Add 6-7 games for country. It is too much. But there are plenty of players who could have played a lot more without coming close to a threshold where they would be "tired". 🔺A discussion must also be had if it is enough to rotate the squad. To be clear -- I am just wondering if a team like City or Arsenal would do better if they set up internal rules and simply left players at home in accordance with more or less a pre determined schedule. Take someone like Timber, give him three 1 week periods off during a season. He would have 2,900 minutes instead of 3,270 minutes. Ben White would have 370 minutes more.

@Stephen78857051 1st & 3rd in the 1969 World Final? Subsequent presentation at Belle Vue.

All smiles from Ivan & Soren. I wonder what the occasion was🤔

@StatmanDave I saw his Leipzig team lose 5-0 to a United team managed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in a Champions League match at Old Trafford. So, no thanks.

Should Julian Nagelsmann be the next Manchester United manger? 🤔👇

@mufcinfodotcom 39 clean sheets in those 61 games!

Happy #MUFC birthday to goalkeeper Sergio German Romero born 22-02-1987 in Bernardo de Irigoyen, Argentina, (2015-2021). Appearances (61), Goals (0).

@SwedishRumble Referee was a complete disgrace last night.

Free kick against Amad? 🤔

@paulenglish1961 Brilliant keeper. 39 clean sheets in 61 matches for United and he was the no. 2!!!!

Born in Bernardo de Irigoyen, Argentina, 22nd February 1987, Sergio Romero. Goalkeeper signed from Sampdoria in 2015, he was a fantastic understudy to David De Gea. Won the Europa League with United in 2017, but was badly treated by Ole at the end, and was frozen out of the 1st team, with his contract expiring in 2021. #MUFC #UTFR #GGMU #ManchesterUnited #ManUtd #ManUnited

Born in Chorlton-Cum-Hardy, 21st February 1880, Jack Fitchett. Originally signed from Bolton Wanderers in 1902, he didn’t play a first team game before leaving for Southampton. Re-signed in 1903 he then joined Plymouth later that year and was re-signed again in 1904, but left for good in 1906. Over his three stints with United, he played 18 games scoring once. Jack passed away 1st November 1942. #MUFC #UTFR #GGMU #ManUtd #ManchesterUnited #ManUnited

@RobHaughton3 @paulenglish1961 Yes, he was my great uncle. Although other accounts have listed him as born at Old Trafford. He lived on Harper Street, Brooks Bar, Stretford, which is no longer there.

@paulenglish1961 Wow - first ever United player I know of to be born in Chorlton cum Hardy....approx 2 miles from OT

Born on 21 February 1880 at Old Trafford, Manchester, my great uncle, Jack Fitchett. He played 18 matches for Manchester United between 1903 & 1905. Also played for Bolton, Plymouth, Fulham, Southampton, and the Football League and England. Photo courtesy of @paulenglish1961
