Never heard of him

It's nice to see the Saudi domestic league get more and more foreign players every day, especially from Europe! For example South Korea's national team goalkeeper for the 2022 WC plays for Al Shabab. I've never heard of this Ronaldo guy either so let's see how he does!

 

[Monkey Shoulder]

United is such a fucking travesty of a team.
Antony, a 90 million bongbucks sack of shit.
Sancho, a 90 million mental weakling mutt faggot.
Sir Marcus Trashford MBE can't even be bothered to show up on time.
Slabhead, worlds most expensive CB is being benched for Shaw.
FRED
MARTIAL

If it hadn't been for Casemiro they'd be sniffing at relegation.

January transfer window could be interesting this year.

-Chelsea apparently willing to pay a huge transfer fee for Enzo Fernandez.
-the hyped up Ukrainian winger probably heading to the premier league.
-Joao Felix possibly heading to the premier league.
-Dusan Vlahovic possibly heading to the premier league.
-Sergei Milikovic-Savic might finally leave Lazio. It's actually pretty crazy he hasn't been sold to a top club yet. He's really good at football.

So what's up with all the Ls Liverpool is collecting lately? Last I watched they were contesting the PL

They didn't amend the attacking options or aging midfield. Mane left for Bayern and Minamino, the Japanese fella that basically held them together during cup ties was sold for basically nothing in todays market. They could have easily got Toney from Brentford, but rather pay the £50mil price tag they decided to buy Darwin Núñez for £75mil instead. One of these two men is actually scoring goals.

Man United had to shit the bed with the Ronaldo stuff and put us on track to this shitty time line, if any of you guys would love to watch CR7 play against a team of lolcows just tune in on 25 Jan, Al Etihad vs Al Nasser, it will be even funnier if Al Etihad, a team fighting relegation in the saudi league just a short time ago, wins. I still don't believe it by the way.

Leaving that smug fuck aside, Man United had always been shat on by players and managers alike, something is seriously wrong with this club:

1. One wise Argentinian man and his wife.

See this face? This is pain.

"My problem at Manchester was the coach." he said. "Van Gaal was the worst of my career. I would score, assist, and the next day he would show me my misplaced passes".

“At Real Madrid, No.11 was already taken, so I took 22. At Manchester United they gave me No.7, I didn’t get a choice. I would have liked 11 but there we are. Here [PSG], I had a choice, so I chose 11!”.

“He has no good memory of the time he spent there. In fact, when something related to Manchester United appears on television, the channel quickly changes.”

"The people are all pasty-faced, prim and proper… weird".

“They’re walking down the street and you don’t know if they’re going to kill you or what. The food’s disgusting. All the girls are all dolled up to the nines, perfectly made-up and there’s me with my hair in a bun and with no make-up on".

“We try to be closer when things go bad. I did not blame him for being there. I just told him, ‘Darling, I want to kill myself, it is already night at 14:00 p.m. in the afternoon.'”

2. One baby faceded Portuguese guy.

“For me, the first thing to change when things are not going right is mentality and organisation, and that was not coming".

“I knew that for me to leave was not going to resolve the situation".

“When I see United play, I see a team that is lost. They are lost completely. There is no cohesion, no organisation, no structure, any basic thing that you need in any successful performance is not there.”

"If I tell you, for example, that I consider one of the best jobs of my career was to finish second with Man United in the Premier League, you will say, 'this guy is crazy,'" Mourinho said in 2019. "'He won 25 titles and he is saying that a second position was one of his best achievements?'

"I keep saying this because people don't know what is going on behind the scenes. And sometimes we, in this side of the cameras, analyse things with a different perspective."​

3. The only chilean guy you know.

"After the session I got home and I told my family and my agent: 'Can you not rip up the contract to go back to Arsenal?' They laughed, I told them there's something that doesn't sit right, it doesn't seem good".

"I'm telling you my experience, the journalists at times would speak without knowing the facts and it hurt, they had no idea what was going on inside the club," he added.

"They said it was my fault, and this, and that, but sometimes a player depends on the environment, the family that is created around him, and I think that in that moment we weren't really a family.

"And that translated onto the pitch, and since there needed to be someone to blame, they blamed me."

4. Victim #4

"I was in a deep hole at Man United. I didn't want to go behind Inter's back".

“One bad year can happen to everybody in their career. It was just done for me. You know what happened behind the scenes, it was just done. For me, it was done".

When Sanchez and Young asked him before signing how things were at Inter, the first answer was ‘really good, there are no clans.

5. Victim #5

"His body language tells you the story that he is not happy there at all. He is not the only one by the way, there is so many frustrated players at the club! I watched the game they had with Everton. Come on! This is supposed to be Manchester United".

“If you asked this question to the entire dressing room, I'm sure that half of them would actually want to leave... there are no positive vibes, they are struggling on and off the pitch. It's two different worlds."

Pogba told Le Figaro: "You have to be honest, the last five seasons have not satisfied me – really not at all."

He continued: "I get along very well [with Deschamps], he gave me a role that I know, but at Manchester United do I really have a role?"

Mind you, the last two unknown victims turned into actual donkeys in this accursed club, suddenly they forgot how to kick, pass and dribble balls.

I heard United only signed Alexis Sánchez because City was willing to snatch him from Arsenal and make him an important piece of the team.
To avoid that, they paid top dollar for him and proceeded to do nothing. And keep in mind that at one point, Sánchez was the best-paid member of the roster! It even became a meme in /sp/ that he was there just to collect paychecks (BOSS! Don't forget to pay me this week, I have three dogs and two families to feed!) and do fuck-all on the pitch.

 

[Shining Wit]

Di Maria was just bitching that Van Gaal criticized him and then whined because he didnt get the shirt he wanted. Lol at Manchester life mindbreaking his wife though.

United is a shockingly run club but a big part of that problem is having all these divas running about without a strong core to rein them in. No manager like Fergie who can man-manage and no leaders on pitch like Keane.

In other news, Arsenal had a great weekend. Still can see them choking the league

 

[Hüftpriester]

Anyone catch the City game yesterday? I wonder if teams will start fouling Haaland early, it seemed to really get in his head and create a chaotic atmosphere for the entire team. Credit to Everton for earning a well deserved point there.

United has some overpaid players but does anyone compare to Jack Grealish? He was pretty awful yesterday. The fact that City bought him for 100M is pretty crazy. Especially when you have a younger and far superior homegrown player like Foden, who plays a similar position.

Idk if it's just my bias, I hate Grealish. The guy flops more than Neymar but never gets shit for it cause he's a darling of the British media for some reason. Completely useless player.

 

[Monkey Shoulder]

DiMaria was decent-ish for a while, then his house got robbed and he went to shit.
Sanchez, Lukaku, and Pogba were always shit. Lukaku and Pogba especially. With Sanchez it was a bit different since his final time in Arsenal wasn't the best.
José is likely spot on with his statements about the club. He's still a massive cunt, but he's right in that there's something rotten in the club.

 

[Manat]

They didn't amend the attacking options or aging midfield.

I noticed that Salah became kinda useless in the last game I watched.

they paid top dollar for him and proceeded to do nothing

This club is so retarded I almost love it.

start fouling Haaland early

anyone compare to Jack Grealish?

Most English players over hyped and overpaid, their marketing machine is unmatched. I hate grealish hair so much.

Sanchez, Lukaku, and Pogba

DiMaria

All these played and play better outside of man united. You see clubs buy players and they get better under their management, but somehow every player man united touch turn to shit.

Right? That's been puzzling me for years.
Ok, neither Jose or LvG play the sexiest football, but good footballers still managed to be good under their command previously. And afterwards too I guess.

I know some people like to say it's because they "couldn't handle the pressure of playing for the worlds biggest club", but that is ... mostly cope.
Lukaku probably couldn't. Absolute smoothbrain

something is rotten in the state of denmark!

Just the other day I heard simon jordan say that man united is as big as RM and barca I really don't think it is the size.

Brentford in European football would be amusing considering the results

 

[Tom Nook's Gloryhole]

I only want to see Newcastle in the Champions League places for a few years to see how much it fucks up teams that are heavily reliant on Champions League money. Chelsea, Liverpool or Spurs spending years outside of the top 4 would be fantastic because it'd lead to all sorts of internal slapfights as players realised they backed the wrong horse.

Same thing happened to Zaha and Wan-Bissaka. Zaha had a terrible time at United, so much so the rumour going around for why he got sold so quickly was because he slept with the gaffer’s daughter. Wan-Bissaka was a machine at Palace too, no one could get passed him which is why United bought him. He’s not even in contention anymore and United are thinking of selling him back to Palace this window. United are a talent pit.

 

[MrJokerRager]

Ronaldo said it good, they have a small club mentality.

Sir Alex Ferguson spent around 20 plus years in charge, and had a very large influence and power. All the gaffers after him are just temporary placeholders.

 

[Hüftpriester]

I think things are heading back in the right direction at United.

- they've gotten rid of useless players like Jogba and Ronaldo.
- ETH actually has a style of play and doesn't let players like Rashford bitch him around so the culture is improving.
- Let's also not forget ETH has benched Maguire.
- the Glazers are selling.
- they are in decent form and currently ahead of more talented teams like Liverpool, Spurs and (to a lesser extent) Chelsea.

Speaking of Pogba, this nigga has not played one minute of competitive football since signing with Juve and he thinks it's a good idea to post photos from his ski resort holiday. Archive
