The improvement to the squad in the last 12 months has been great. It was around this time last year zirkzee got injured and it was a disaster and we didn’t know how we’d cope without him 😩

Out of our forward players I really thought Cunha would become the one to miss out but he’s been nothing short of outstanding during these 10 matches. It’s worrying how much amad and mbeumo have dropped off and sesko won’t be happy staying on the bench forever
English
United in such a strong position now for CL qualification. A more convincing performance today than in recent matches which is important
Cunha really looking like a proper United player. Sesko giving Carrick a headache (must start imo) and we’re really gonna miss Casemiro
English
@johnaokane Completely nothing to do with the point I’m making
English
@mrmichaelbarton Thing is there's not really anything Carrick has done wrong except get the club to 3rd pal..
1 loss..
English
I don’t agree with what Scholes posted about Carrick but the amount of quotes I’ve seen (I appreciate some will be fake) from ex pros saying he shouldn’t criticise his former teammate are ridiculous. Exactly the same stuff we hated when ole never got called out by them
English
United’s midfield needs an overhaul but there’s only Casimero that needs replacing and he’s been one of the clubs best players this season. It’ll have to be some player that comes in and replaces him. Any other midfield reinforcements will be bench players
English
A few weeks ago they was bad as they played a back 5 and didn’t follow the dna of the club. Now they only have 12 or 13 good players and one match a week…

Extreme reactions to results is a problem for a lot of clubs, but particularly Man United. Carrick hasn't become a bad manager overnight. His biggest problem is a thin squad. Stretched beyond a good 12 or 13 and there's not much there.
English
Carrick has done a fine job as interim head coach but take out the city and Arsenal fixtures United have played the same as they had done all season
English
Twitter is so amusing. A week ago I was reading how United would’ve been challenging for the title if Carrick had come in last summer. Now the squad needs an overhaul again 🐸 ☕️
English
Sesko with another big goal. He’s looking like a great signing
English
Only one way this is gonna go now. Bruno as cool as a cucumber 🧊
English
It’s underrated how important Martinez is to this team
English
The goalposts have definitely shifted from hoping they qualify for the CL to now consolidating their place in the top 4. It would be a disaster if they throw it away now. Palace is therefore a must win match as the next 2 fixtures are very hard. On paper at least
English
I’m pleased sesko has his chance, he couldn’t have done much more to earn it. Amad has been dreadful since he returned from afcon
English
As there’s been nothing to discuss for a week. How about a random poll?
Who was the better play in Stam and Vidic?

@mrmichaelbarton Its lazy to just to say we'd have won it too though...
We lost at home to 10 men Everton.
We drew at home with West Ham
Drew at home to Wolves who had scored 2 goals in 8 games.
And drew away with Burnley.
But yeah we'd definitely have beaten West ham around the same time
English
Gaslighting or lazy punditry
United’s last league defeat was on 21st December against Villa where they played well and was unlucky not to get something. They’ve been difficult to beat all season and the problem has been turning draws into wins
