Top to bottom United are a bad squad.

Nothing but a complete overhaul will change this team.

There has to be a firesale like when Roman took over Chelsea in 2003 or this problem is likely going to persist for years. It's something rooted in the culture of the club. They can't even attract the same caliber of player anymore.

With Tottenham and Arsenal in the ascendency they will continue to struggle unless they take drastic measures. Man City has firmly replaced them as the establishment club of Manchester.

United fans been calling for new players all summer and the summer before and the one before that.

It's a bigger issue than just "new players".

Damn I thought United would handle them considering they just lost Bissouma and Cucurella

Brighton plan their transfers well in advance. They signed Caicedo 18 months ago knowing that Bissouma would be leaving at some point.

We still have McFred, Shaw and Maguire(Who was okay today tbh). While losing Pogba and Matic.

Even Norwich also blew throw our midfield last season.

Dreading Brentford.

Nah, I don't.

Not really debating who has said what either really. Just offering analysis.

Good ball by Foden.

Haaland just needed another inch

How is it that only United managers see Fred as a holding midfielder?

Do they go through A Clockwork Orange brainwashing when they sign a contract?

I think his industry and lack of vision makes people think that's the best spot for him. Both him and McTom are not good enough though. They really should be out of the club. Have the kids instead of them. ETH has to takes big part of the blame because he was warned about this squad.
