Surprised Rio Ferdinand hasn't offered to buy players himself.

What do you think is happening with the tickets?

 

There's still a ballot for staff, but the rest are going to fans, which is the way it should be. 

 

You can't win with the media.

[Joelinton7]

Never thought I’d see this 

Sure Tonali would love to sign there

Confirmed by the BBC.

 

Do you honestly think that’s the reason the club are doing it? 

Players are getting only 2 free tickets but can apply for more ….. if they PAY for them.

Would that be to get more fans in too?

Lose the Europa League final, lose Bruno Fernandes, get relegated. 

 

It's possible.

 

Any team with Fernandes is far too good to go down, but without him I could see this team go down as we wouldn't score a goal.

The final is so much bigger for Man U than Spurs. Everyone knows Spurs will continue to be a complete mess for years to come. Man U, this could be a huge momentum changer. If Man U lose then Amorim will be gone within 9 months I’m sure

Hope not.

 

Just give us a seasoned striker in the summer please.

Do you reckon a new striker fixes your woes @Froggy

I think a good one might alleviate some of them. Don't think Delap is the answer though. 

 

Proper world class strikers like Kane, Lewandowski, Isak, Mbappe etc. are miles out of our reach now. 

 

Players like Ekitike and Sesko have big price tags and zero guarantees. 

 

Genuinely no idea who we can get that could make a difference right away. I just know we can't have another season with Hojlund as the starter.

I mean you're better placed than me but I think you're about 2-3 years from being anywhere near CL level again. I think you need a real overhaul and to really out faith in Amorim or similar for the duration of that 2 to 3 years as well. You need a new culture around the club and less jonny-come-lately, mercenary wankers and more people who simply want to grasp an opportunity to play for Man United with two hands and really excel.

 

I reckon Hojlund will be alreet in time, it's more building the spine and then fleshing it out. New keeper and CB potentially.

Well, you did splash some cash on Zirkzee in the summer but don't know what the intentions were back then, if not to help Hojlund. Aye, he is a different type of forward and still young but can't just forget him for that. He was a zero gurantees sugning for sure though.

You’ll need far more than just a striker in the summer

[Pilko]

Whilst I think Hojlund is a dud, it's not because he misses boatloads of chances, they just don't seem to create him anything.

 

If they can get hold of a more traditional winger in the mould of a Jacob Murphy, I think Delap would do 15+ league goals nae bother even in Man U's current state. He's managed a dozen in that doomed Ipswich side.

[Dr Venkman]

If they’ve got any sense they’ll get Glasner in before emorim can do too much damage.

I'm always of the opinion 50% of chance creation is the strikers own positioning, movement & anticipation. Man Utd have one of the most creative players in the league. Hojlund doesn't receive any chances because his own movement and anticipation isn't good enough.

Would agree with most of what you've said. We want Amorim to change the culture, and he's doing that. Dickheads like Rashford and Sancho are being shifted.

 

New keeper is important. Onana has periods were he was playing well, but he's a total liability and has cost us a ton of points. I think we're OK at CB personally and it's not somewhere we'll be looking at this summer.

Just a sign of shit scouting I would assume. He was absolutely signed as a striker, and he's anything but. He definitely has a role as a #10 in this system though and was playing fairly well before his injury. Very tidy football with decent creativity, but ultimately not someone who'll take you to the next level.

Correct. Hojlund has went backwards this season. Literally. He spends all of his time with his arse in a defender instead of making runs. 

 

Garnacho is getting better as well, but is still very greedy and doesn't pass to Hojlund. Amad is much less selfish, and his return should mean a few more goals for Hojlund.

[Abacus]

Watkins?

 

Anyway, ridiculous back page headline saying if they win the Europa there will be no bus tour, just a BBQ at Carrington instead. 

 

It's both ridiculous that's even in any way news but also even that they've said that in the first place.

Wonder if we can get Amad here.
