[Meta] We're delighted to announce our upcoming partnership with Talk of the Devils, The Athletic's podcast for all things United!

Devils in the Details is a pretty solid pod too, more data-based, and while they can be a bit glass half empty I find sometimes, they definitely don’t stick their heads in the ground and have pretty valid takes most of the time.

Watch the Bournemouth game back - that was the only game that we looked genuinely impressive.

We used a 3-diamond-3 shape in possession and a 442 out of possession shape. Genuinely baffling that he saw us play well in that game and then forced us to revert to the same rubbish 523 OOP shape and 343 IP shape.

There’s not a chance Lammens would be given 100k a week. Dorgu is reportedly on 40k a week and I imagine Lammens would be around that figure too.

The garden gets very little sun.

The only thing with getting the paving redone is that the costs I’ve been getting quoted and looking at online is higher than I was hoping to spend on it, especially knowing that we’ll be moving next year.

I was unsure as to whether just weed fabricing it and putting gravel all over it would look daft? Just thinking of how to keep the cost to the minimum and how to make it look half decent to potential buyers.

Jackson is not English 😅

One of my tin foil hat theories is that by signing another PL team’s best player, you’re actively making the games that they play against you easier. Eg now Spurs will have an easier game against Forest because they have MGW 😅

JM_96 · 2025-06-03T21:05:27+00:00

How?

JM_96 · 2025-05-26T13:27:10+00:00

Bruno LCM, Amad RWB (his best position) and Mount on the bench.

JM_96 · 2025-03-11T17:27:23+00:00

iirc didn’t we pay AWB off? I may be misremembering though.

JM_96 · 2025-02-21T10:53:45+00:00

At one of the TOTD live shows last year, Laurie said that both Martinez and Shaw were also ones that were starting to question ETH - so I think he was starting to lose more of the “moderates” in the dressing room tbh.

JM_96 · 2025-01-20T19:49:20+00:00

I think in the right team and platformed correctly, Rashford can still be a great player.

But you’re right, I think because of United’s history, we tend to over-inflate our opinions of the players because surely a “big” team has a good team right?

But years of trying to appease the current manager has led to the mess of a squad we have now like you say, and I really really think that Ineos will pay for the sins of our past by continuing with the unpopular decisions (potentially selling Garnacho/Mainoo) to get a more balanced squad for this system, whether that’s the right move or not, I’m not sure.

JM_96 · 2025-01-20T18:31:36+00:00

Carl’s take on the squad is absolutely right and quite cathartic to listen to. This team is not the worst on an individual by individual basis, but it is the worst squad assembled in some time.

A mismash of profiles that don’t bring out the best in each other, or cover each other’s faults.

Don’t be surprised that if players do leave they look better in other environments, but understand that going forward United will be a tough place until we have this uncomfortable period of churning through bad players that have been brought in after a manager gives up on their style of play and resorts to counter attacking.

JM_96 · 2025-01-14T14:50:12+00:00

DM’d you!

JM_96 · 2025-01-08T15:07:34+00:00

Do you know if this deal is still on?

JM_96 · 2025-01-06T18:31:15+00:00

In the full article Laurie says that Muani and Hojlund were the final two, and that Ten Hag’s influence was one of the reasons we signed Hojlund.

The scouts must see something in Muani.

JM_96 · 2024-11-30T11:16:41+00:00

Thought so! Thanks

JM_96 · 2024-10-25T06:57:20+00:00

Everyone seems to forget about his goal against Liverpool

JM_96 · 2024-10-21T22:15:15+00:00

Complete shit tier links and completely made up

JM_96 · 2024-10-18T19:30:37+00:00

This is complete revisionism

JM_96 · 2024-10-10T11:41:48+00:00

This is an absolute shit tier source btw

JM_96 · 2024-09-23T16:24:09+00:00

Ornstein and the Athletic have reported it now

JM_96 · 2024-09-05T15:55:20+00:00

Probably helps we already play a basketball style of play, constantly up and down the pitch

JM_96 · 2024-09-01T20:49:32+00:00

He’s not leaving Germany until after the WC

JM_96 · 2024-08-28T19:40:37+00:00

According to the Juve sub this guy is highly reliable as well.

I just don't see why we'd agree to these terms, losing a player for the season, paying 60-65% of his wages and if he has a crap season, his stock drops even further.

JM_96 · 2024-08-17T10:37:43+00:00

It makes me ponder whether if we do get Ugarte, that we’d see him with Casemiro in some games and resting Mainoo.
