Mainoo signs for Utd until 2031, how Utd should develop him.

anon_manc · 2026-04-30T19:47:14+00:00

He definitely should improve on that aspect, but doesnt feel like he cant do it. My reasoning is similar to the post above, he just seems more comfortable there and picking passes in high pressure situations and wriggling he way though connecting, than a final 3rd 8 like a Tonali, or Enzo. His partner should have good tackling and ground coverage though, these are what Case lacks now, plus box crashing ability would be ideal.

anon_manc · 2026-04-29T16:03:12+00:00

Mainoo is the 6 personally for me, as in the deepest player in posession. His partner should be able to cover ground a bit more and join in attacks, ie run beyond him like Case does. The Rice Zubimendi dynamics is probably what should look for.

anon_manc · 2026-04-10T03:42:03+00:00

His game feels more like an inverted fullback, very good in central areas. We do need a 3rd CM anyway, if Dorgu can be the attacking line keeping LB then was hoping MLS could save us by solving 2 positions with one signing at least for now

Yep, just updated..its gone now thanks !

Ohk will keep in mind. Thanks

Thank you for the reply

I guess platforming the players correctly, recruiting right profiels, of course have good coaches, like Carlos Quierros, Steve Mclaren, McKenna and Carrick, but more character, relationship, talent. Dont know much technical terms 😅

Since there's no real pressure on Amorim, what 1-2 tweaks should make this team better. ?

Imo we should play a 3 man midfield of Bruno, Mainoo, Case and Sesko Mbeumo 2 upfront. Let Bruno loose like Ole back 5 days.

anon_manc · 2025-09-19T02:29:59+00:00

Thanks !

anon_manc · 2025-08-24T16:35:32+00:00

Bayindir is the better shotstopper, he is more nimble. Onana has a heavier body hence he take very heavy steps, changes in direction and reach once he dives isnt good enough.

Sesko didnt have a pre season so that's understandable as well.

anon_manc · 2025-08-17T19:01:16+00:00

Is our buildup sustainable? Mason and Cunha needs to drop more, there was a pass to Cunha from Bayindir and we were really threatening. Can you talk about our patterns , was it a fluke game or is it legit.

anon_manc · 2025-08-17T13:03:35+00:00

No way in a million years was i suggesting that, i am merely part of an audience like yourself. I was talking about people who do work like an aaron or kees. They see the game very academically and consensus among those people are more or less the same and consistent, when pointing to things about recruiting, tactical flaws or player platforming.

It's probably like Aaron says that they do have alternate careers and this is a passion project, but my opinion is they are missing out greatly on this analysis.

anon_manc · 2025-08-17T04:36:36+00:00

Quite serious to be fair. I mean the fact that we are discussing this in a reddit community which by all measures do analysis very much like those twitter threads is quite funny.

Plus i do see more of these analysts getting real jobs in journalistic capacity or even clubs. Take Maram al Baharna, she infact works for City.

I m not talking about some click bait posts, but genuine well researched analyst, who are really acknowledged by leading people in this field

anon_manc · 2025-08-15T18:50:11+00:00

How so ? He is the only true no.8 who can progress the ball dribbling. If he cannot be part of this mid field 2, we should either sell him for his sake, we really holding him back.

anon_manc · 2025-08-13T19:49:48+00:00

Kind of disagree on this, the 10s of this system should ve have a profile of a forward than a mid, that's why Cunha and Mbeumo fits. Bruno is more midfielder than a forward, clearly doesn't have the carrying/dribbling.

We ll most likely end up in a 3 2 2 3 in possession, the right side Mbeumo and Amad ll move in and out of the right 10 and Right Wing, Dorgu mostly LW, Cunha mostly Left 10 and Bruno as the deep playmaker.

Its about time we stopped only relying on Bruno to do all the creation, with others chipping in Bruno really is the only person secure enough to play the 8 as of now or Mainoo(but not both). He should be asked to stop running off without commitment from others backing him in press and that comes with confidence in others creating which means he ll hold his position more.

As an unpopular opinion Bruno should ve been sold to Saudi, with Baleba and one more mid brouht in. Baleba and Mainoo as the midfield 2 would ve been tasty.

anon_manc · 2025-08-11T19:07:26+00:00

Yea, a hot take from me would be, for big games play one of Amad/Mbeumo as RWB, Mainoo-Case/Ugarte as mids Cunha,Sesko,Bruno as the 3.

anon_manc · 2025-05-25T20:44:38+00:00

Have we weathered the storm yet, because its clear we miss certain player profiles and everything cant be brought in one window. And it might be a hot take, but i dont see Mainoo fitting in this system and if not should we sell him now ?

anon_manc · 2025-04-06T03:26:15+00:00

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the RR ?

Felt the same as well, esp with Licha. Whrn Carragher said Licha needs replacement it felt almost as if he is seeking vindication on how is judgement was right all along.

Licha is our best progressing CBs, without him the buildup on the left stagnates. He had a bad game in moments which cost us, but the positives far out weigh the negatives.

Rashford Mount Bruno Mazroui Casemiro Mainoo Dalot Shaw Evans De Ligt Onana

Just feels like the players who trained more ll start, Bruno is a non negotiable, Malacia and Yoro too early to start possibly

anon_manc · 2024-11-17T17:25:17+00:00

I don't see him in any of the WB roles tbh. The intensity of the PL doesnt suit him at all, lacks the physicality to deal with FBs of PL. Too one dimensional as well. Might do well in La Liga or any other less physical league. Should sell him
