For all the money they've spent, who are their genuine class players? Not even world class, but just players that would walk into lost teams? Mazroui looks good, and Bruno F is still a good player, beyond them two though? I'm struggling to think of anyone that would get a spot even in our first XI. 

I was looking at the Man United XI from today, comparing it against ours earlier, and I came up with the following:

 

Bruno Fernandes 

Andre Onana

Kobbie Mainoo

Amad Diallo.

 

The last two are very very debatable and on current form wouldn't have a hope in hell of getting in, but given they're both young and the potential of both players gets them ahead of Joelinton and Murphy, Onana as hilariously calamitous as he can be, is a good keeper and better than Pope, and Bruno Fernandes is their only World Class player.

Absolutely no fucking way do I take Onana ahead of Pope like, and I'm far from Pope's biggest fan

It's astonishing. Crazy amounts of money thrown away.

It's amazing. The season before our takeover they finished 2nd. Since then they've spent in the region of £500m (net) and this is what they've got to show for it.

I can't see things getting sorted out any time soon. They have a fan in charge of the football side, and he's made a bad choice of manager. I don't think they've got much money to spend, and they look a bad proposition for any player who is good enough to have other options.

Hes a great manager

Is this a joke? 

 

Fake Bruno is OK, but definitely doesn't fit as a LCM for us, so that's a no

 

Onana is crap, no need to expand on that

 

Mainoo would be in and around Miley and longstaff, and I'm not even sure he's much better than them, if at all. He's not even remotely close to either Joe

 

Diallo where has this hype come from?? He's mainly rubbish and had a decent moment now and again. Murphy as frustrating as he can be giving  the ball away, Daillo does the same and is less of a threat. Would rather take Garnacho. 

[The College Dropout]

They let Ten Hag ruin what was a decent squad under Ole. 
 

Solid back 5 + McFred then 4 killers up top was great for them.   

[David Edgar]

Fake Bruno is actually an incredibly talented footballer who would instantly become one of our most important players in the out-there hypothetical that we signed him.

He wouldn't get sent off constantly playing in a more organised, competitive side. So we wouldn't need to worry about that. Also seems that he is actually a good egg off the pitch.

[ikri]

What Man Utd are experiencing now should be a warning for any team wanting to join a breakaway league.  You may be a big team right now but once you're in a league with 17 other big teams you may just end up as one of the whipping boys for the really big teams.

[David Edgar]

Amad Diallo though, massively overrated. Looked like the worst winger on the pitch against Bournemouth. 

 

Mainoo has got potential, but is being overused to his detriment.

 

Onana is low-key genuinely a good player, but has way too many clangers in his locker.

 

I'm taking Dalot in this hypothetical. He's quality.

Dalot loves a howler too.

All the money in the world spent and so little to show for it.

 

It's just so immensely satisfying.

 

There's a deep rot that has set in at the club that will take some sorting.

 

They keep looking for individuals to throw under the bus, but it's so much more than that.

It’s all down to club culture. They’ve not had an identity since Fergie. Glazers have been setting the tone for the rot with their ownership approach and now this scruff has come in getting rid of the workers who actually care about the club. The guy is more of the same parasites the Glazers have been. 

 

@Froggy you’re awesome, but it’s funny as fuck watching Man United eat itself. Even when you’re terrible, you still win trophies.  It’s always individuals either carrying them to a trophy (Casemiro against us) or being scapegoated (Rashford, Dan Ashworth).

 

I have zero empathy for anyone who associates themselves with that club.

Bruno F is a brilliant player, still IMO, and Mainoo is clear of Longstaff and Miley but wouldn't be a guaranteed start over Bruno, Tonali and Joelinton. 

 

I think Onana would be a good keeper in an organised defence and could significantly improve our distribution from the back, so personally, I prefer him (or what he could be) over Pope.

This is all I noticed.

Don’t rate the Amorim hire. Think clubs like Man U should avoid heavily - formation based managers or ones with specialist styles.

Bruce it is then...

 

He doesn't believe in tactics.

Especially managers who favour very specific formations (3 at the back, basically) which require you to build what would otherwise be considered to be a heavily unbalanced squad.

Exactly.  It’s not like he has Conte’s track record either.

Not saying much about their plight until 10pm on Monday.

Not a chance am I having Onana in our team
