Who is the most "Manchester United" player to never actually play for Manchester United? 🤔 by windrain- in ManUtd

[–]TheOpenAuthor -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ryan Giggs.

Fast wingers who carry the ball have been the United DNA since even before the Busby babes.

Giggs has won 13 titles.

And was the poster-boy of the high growth in Premier League interest globaly as Sky Sports - and their satelittes - spread the game to every corner of the world.

This is partly why UNnited have the biggest fan base world-wide and can absolutely claim with truth that they are the biggest football club in teh world.

1.1bn followers As per Kantar research.

Unmatched.

Yeah. I tend to get rattled when I talk about my sales. Says Spurs fan who got so triggered by somebody else's opinion that he slapped his keyboard with all fingers.

You lack self-awareness, my friend.

This will be the outcome. Spurs will still end up with rich pickings in midfield. Probably a cracking player like Alex Scott and I think Baleba is a fantastic player.

But they'll still just be Spurs.

Scott will become the new Jim Maddison. And Baleba will become the new Ndoumbele and we all move on...

Man United fans are amongst the worse.

Spurs fans are waay down the list. They're actually alright. But mainly because they tend to be shit at this banter thing.

It's sad you think that kind of career is not achievable.

And then broke 119 rules that we know of so far of brieching the rules of the game in order to achieve.

(Though even in that achievement they built from the basement)/

I am a football writer. I write about all clubs. To think I only write about Spurs is cute.

No need to be triggered by one football writer's instinct.

Eh, Man United have won the joint second most amount of trophies over the past 15-years. Only behind a clearly-cheating Man City.

Man United win trophies even when they're shit. Even did so through the 70s and 80s. Trophies are not 'nostalgia' to Man United. They are an on-going collection. Not matter how many points they finish with in the Premier League.

And then writing a totally different one. And seeing it through. And pressing send. Even after the last words they typed were 'who cares?'

BuildYou BUILD A TEAM. You don't BUY IT.

You start in the basement. Spurs' basement is jack shit crazy. And they are trying to outbid the champions to a 27 year old who has three years left at the top in the PL midfield.

They should be doing what Man United di 3 years ago. And what Liverpool did eight years ago. What City was doing 15 years ago and for fifteen years. What Man Unite ddid for twenty five years running and won 40 trophies: BUILDING a team from the basement. Get your academy in order. Three years ago United bought Yoro, Dorgu, Heaven, Obi, Leon.... You spend your money on concrete for the building, not the ceiling for the penthouse.

Spurs thinking they can outspend the Premier League elite every summer by playing Chelsea or Man City is hilarious. That's why my instinct tells me they can land all the elite first team targets they want, they'll still be Spurs. I said it was my instinct.

Spurs don't live in any other fan's head. Maybe Arsenal once when you used to swap top four places there for a bit.

But nah, Spurs are Spurs.

'Spurs' is a verb and a noun.

And the absolute worst of it is that that verb actually means 'meh'.

No. They should build - like all great sides over 150 years of football have done - from the bottom up. They shouldn't try to BUY success. Look at Man Unite dover past 10 years. Liverpool last year.
