I would much rather sign him than Felix. The contract is making me spin though. Sorry if I’m mistaken but I’m sure you were very positive on Fred last season.

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 wouldn't it better to just pay the wages frenkie is owed as part of the deal than offer a 30 year old 400k per week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred isn't a defensive midfielder though and he completely collapses when he is left to do all the defensive work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Lucky you've hired a manager that wouldn't make him shoulder all that responsibility then, eh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Reckon he just stuck him there with Eriksen and Bruno alongside at the weekend to highlight how weak that area is then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Fred and McTominay are not bad players, they are just not elite level and never will be. They get lots of stick when it’s abundantly clear they are not the main problems at Man Utd, same with Maguire or even Ronaldo. @Froggydo you think the over representation of ex Man Utd legends/players in the media are a negative effect on the club/players? Every loss or not so good performance and it’s a crisis, I’m so glad we don’t have that level of constant debate around us every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anon Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Haven't seen a lot of Casemiro but seemed to come across as a massive cunt on the pitch but maybe that's what they need at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a player in Fred, but you've nailed it there for me he's pretty mobile with a good engine and should be higher up the pitch making runs which is something you're desperately lacking from midfield as it happens. But now you've got to crowbar Eriksen and shit Bruno into the team there's no chance of anything positive happening Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 We’ve seen with Barca that lifestyle and prestige can outweigh financial incentives. Wouldn’t be surprise if he stays in Madrid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) It’s a win win. Man United get another big name so they can keep up the air of them being a big club. Madrid get rid of a player who would be phased out over the next year. And get his peak value. And the player gets his pension. its good for us as well as the notion of the Glazers and Ashley being comparable takes another blow.

KaKa Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 @Froggy what on Earth is the deal with van de Beek?! He did so well for ten Haag at Ajax. Thought he'd be straight into the team, but Fred and McTominay are ahead of him. No manager ever puts him on the pitch since he joined. What's the deal?

Well, as you know he was a counter-attack merchant and that luckily hid a mass of problems, since you tried to move away from that cause it wasn't good enough it's all fallen apart. Whether Nostaljaer was a good enough coach to know what he was doing or was just cautious by nature you have to say in hindsight he did a very good job. Same for Jose.
