Fred is an enigma.

Granted we had an unbalanced midfield. But it's weird with him in particular. :russ:

Ajax used to get gutted in the transfer market, but with ten Hag as manager, they would just reload and keep dominating the Eredivisie while making deep runs into CL.

He leaves, and now Ajax got gutted and is supertrash.

ten Hag is a legit great manager. When he gets his guys into place, y'all are winning a PL and CL, I have no doubt.

Thought he was the perfect fit for Barca instead of Koeman. Would have all that talent and the Dutch connection to Barca.

He's a confidence player, it was clear he lost all belief in himself in the second half. Every time he received the ball facing his own goal he lost possession.

Should've been taken off but I guess ETH doesn't trust Iqbal and Mainoo at all since he would rather have Fred in the middle of a nervous breakdown out there rather than either of them :francis:

Rodrygo took a wet shyt on Flamengo lol



This dude took every opportunity to trash the club in the most disrespectful ways possible when he left, and now he’s back like nothing happened.

We deserve to get relegated :dead:


The vice president was live this Monday lying about they were trying to sign Cavani, got called out on it and backtracked immediately lol...

It is being reported as private Qatari investors, so not the state. Who do you think would be a fit owner for United?

"Clean" billionaires do not exist
Yeah I’m SURE they have no connection to the state :childplease:

I’m not naive enough to believe anyone who has that amount of money hasn’t exploited someone along the way, i’m also not naive enough to think we can avoid what English football is now in terms of ownership.

But it doesn’t mean I can’t voice my concern over being used as a sportswashing project for people from places that hold backwards views that are diametrically opposed to my own and what I believe our society should stand for.

‘But but but…the uk goverment give them money’ 1. The UK government/anyone connected to them aren’t trying to buy us. 2. fukk the UK government, they’re wrong for what they do. :why:

Anyone getting on that whataboutery is essentially admitting they don’t have a valid argument.

Put it this way, Manchester has a significant gay population, i know gay people, and we’re meant to accept owners that would likely have these people chucked in the back of a van and vanished for living their lives?(if they were in Qatar/Saudi)

I realise this place is a cesspit when it comes to these issues(omg hahahahha fukk them gays hahaha), but it’s something I believe in.

And that’s before we get on to the general human rights abuses, workers rights etc etc

Have your culture and run your country how you want, buy yourself a word cup to try and pull the wool over the worlds eyes. But if you buy a club, especially one the size of United, you’re making us part of or at least adjacent to that culture and these beliefs in my view.

I realise that for a lot of internet mans football is just a tool for banter and they want to have bragging rights over rival internet fans, but football clubs are meant to represent more. The ship has already sailed at the top level in England, i get that, but i’ll still believe what i believe.:manny:
