I’m completely done with Nunez. He stinks

Hopefully off to Saudi in the summer, put the funds towards Isaac or Cunha. Wouldn't be too upset if Diaz and/ Jota were let go also. One doesn't have enough end product, and the other is a near permanent feature in the medical department.

I’m not sure about Isak only because he seems to be injured a lot. He is absolute quality but given how much he would cost, I’m not sure it’s worth it if he misses 20 games every season.

Agree on Jota, very injury prone. Diaz is a good option to have but if we get a big offer again, not opposed to selling him.

But we need to keep Salah and VVD. Positions to strengthen are LB, ST and CB coverage , plus then depending on who we sell coverage there

I’ve stopped watching Man United games for the sake of my mental health (not exaggerating, Man United is genuinely affecting my mood). But I feel terrible for Amorim, no matter who he puts out there and what he does, these players just can’t get the basics right, passing, defending, basic goalkeeping. Amorim must feel like he’s in hell.

A long list of managers can't all be to blame for your woes. The players ( attitude, and dressing room power) have been the common denominator going as far back as Mourinho. At least Amorin is trying to clean house and do something about it, but will he have the backing of the board, and especially the fans to put his stamp on the place ?, with recent results and the team hovering way outside the top half of the table he might not get the time he needs. Don't know how much he will get to spend either with the current financial situation and it won't be easy trying to move some of those players on with their current wages. There a basket case on and off the field.

Isaac definitely is a risk, I would be more than happy with a proper striker along the lines of Isaac, Watkins or the current version of Chris Wood, a 20 goal a season striker, we would probably not drop points against the likes of Villa and Neverton with a functioning CF. . Love Robbo, but 8 seasons up and down the wing playing Klopps rock n roll football will slow anyone down. I like Hato, the Ajax hybrid left full back/ centre back , probably a future CB , is still only 19 and has repped for Holland and captains Ajax. Not as concerned about DM as I was a few months ago, Grav has been superb and Endo is fantastic to cover the last 20, 30 minutes when we are protecting a lead.
Here's to NUMBER 20 !

Hard fought 1-1 draw today for my Baggies against league leaders Leeds. Fell behind early 1-0 but showed great character to level and with a bit of luck we could have nicked it at the end. Onto QPR next, really need to win that one.

Old Trafford could've undergone an Anfield style redevelopment years ago had the Glazers not made a total balls of it when they bought Man United two decades ago but now it seems fixing up Old Trafford as is would cost more than building a new stadium.

PSG are a quality outfit. Probably the form team in the world right now.

Not sure who thought it was a good idea to put Nunez up second. PSG deserved the win, they were the better team over two legs.

Donarumma is the penalty shootout master too
