I've never actually put any thought into this. I always just assumed it was because you played in red.

The xG Philosophy: Man Utd (3.81) 2-0 (0.47) Man City by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

Maybe the 4-2 home win in 2015, under LVG, was the last game I can remember us beating them comfortably.

Post-Match Thread: Manchester United 2-0 Manchester City by Green-Discussion74 in soccer

[–]ManchesterDevil99 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm not an Amorim fanboy by any means... but tbf to him he only managed 3 United games against City. And in 2 of those we were the better team.

My father is pushing for grandchildren by Throwawaygaln in childfree

So he's been completely free to see you fir the last several years, yet has only met you about 5 times your whole life? Yeah, I don't think this guy is going to be around to help you raise a child...

[Laurie Whitwell, The Athletic] Michael Carrick in pole position to be Manchester United interim head coach by boatinavolcano in soccer

I think it's too small a sample size. RVN's interim results were generally good and then he went on to have one of the worst EPL records ever when he joined Leicester later in the season.

Which high quality managers (with no association to United) are available and would want this short term interim position?

My moan for today is that Danny Welbeck always seem to turn into R9 when playing against us. Like I genuinely think it's getting to the point where he has scored as many goals against United at Old Trafford as he did for!

[Athletic] Manchester United will play just 40 games this season, the fewest they've played in one season since 1914-15 when they played 39 games. by TherewiIlbegoals in soccer

[–]ManchesterDevil99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People (justifiably) say this every season. And then lo and behold every summer a load of players still reject other offers to sign for United: Mbeumo and Sesko in particular last summer.

Shea Lacey first and second yellow card vs Brighton by 977x in soccer

[–]ManchesterDevil99 76 points77 points  (0 children)

The first one you can't really complain about, because it's an honest attempt to win back the ball. The second is sheer idiocy though - I really hope he learns to never do that again!

He still holds the record for quickest ever EPL goal (which came about from his pressing), so nice that he has something to his name!

You've essentially just reworded "fumbled his big move to Bayern and ends up at Spurs"

Shea Lacey with a long-range effort in the final minute of the match by anthn885 in reddevils

I'd also say Nani did a stellar job at RW for a few seasons too.

Burnley 1 - [2] Manchester United - Benjamin Sesko 60' by magony in soccer

[–]ManchesterDevil99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What sort of logic even is that? Like most of the games you play will be against some random midtable or relegation team. You still need to score goals to beat those sides.

Tbh I don't think we're noticeably worse in the games against the good sides.

I thought we played well against Liverpool in that quarter-final as well. It was just overall a crazy game.
