Think so. He has that Barcelona DNA.

I want the same energy towards Xavi's credentials for being Barca manager as people had for Ole being our manager because of 'United DNA'. At least Ole's interim period felt like something special. Arguably though we had a much better squad and ownership

They don't have anyone else. Realistically who could of Barca hired instead? If you know anything about Laporta then you'll understand why he chose Xavi.

Barca have an experience problem. Pique and Biscuits are declined so much that they are a problem to the team when they play and don't get the protection. Problem is the next inline of experience the 27-30 y/o players are either not wanted or not good enough/failed so Pique and Biscuits are being overused Pique more so. And then you have all the under 23's. Barca need good and less damaged players in the 24-27 range. The only good player is De Jong. Everyone else is potential or broken in some form or other.

It's kinda like the same situation Arsenal find themselves in. Where they have loads of potential in the young players but the experiences ones are letting them down in someway or another. Father time not being good enough or failed to settle to the league.

I honestly wonder how Barcelona are gonna solve their financial situation. I can't think in my lifetime other than Leeds and Blackburn when a club took a huge nosedive over finances and even then, this seems much more severe

Watch him be linked to Barca and Juve. And United have all the leverage with 3.5 years left on his contract.

Rangnick broke Martial will within a week.

Nah shyt happened over year ago. Dude just hasn’t been the same. Man shaved his head bald with no hairline issues. That’s always a sign something is goin on . Shoutout to Britney

Actually Shaw is the opposite of Martial, as in he does better when there's competition.

He's on the same boat with him based on have more bad season's than good.

But Marital played in all our cup wins.

Breh some United fans are some ungrateful fukks. The way him, rashford and Pogba got us 4th during the pandemic…they forever good in my book

Ironically I think if the club gave Martial the attention and priority they gave Rashford, we'd be looking at a different player.

LVG, Jose and Ole all chose Rashford over Martial because Rashford being the Mancunian academy grad despite being less talented than Martial. To Rashfords credit though, he's scored far more game winning goals than Martial (I think I saw a tweet claiming Rashford has scored the most last minute game winners in United's history, which is incredible considering his age)

And Martial just comes off as being lazy, as well as being French, and doesn't have the public persona that Rashford has. It's unfortunate really

Lens plays like a proper German team. difference is, they have teckers in the midfield and a rwb name Klausse

if they make it to champions league, they are going to upset some teams

 

[gho3st]

Of course If you watch diallo against young boys, you can see the quality. Idk why Ole never played him.

People are forgetting just how good Rashford is.
I'll be the first to admit that his work rate and decision making the last two years has been embarrasing at times but at his best, I genuinely believe he has the talent to be one of the best forwards in the world.

I've always rated him over Martial but his hunger has seemingly ebbed and flowed at times. If he can get his head right, the guy could be an all-time United great.
