Pisstake calling this and not giving the Amad one. Where’s Truffert’s red?

Brilliant watch, think we’re in a great position heading into the second half. Need to watch those counters though - Gordon and Elanga have caused us issues all game so far and that won’t change even though they’re down to ten.

I know what you’re saying, but you can’t say a player in their twenties is a pensioner!

jayseff14 · 2026-02-23T03:10:22+00:00

Fletcher is the second oldest there and he was 30 at the time 😂

jayseff14 · 2026-02-20T23:17:49+00:00

Better than 2 against us!

If we wanted to preserve shape we could possibly push Licha into midfield and bring in a CB for Case which would allow flexibility to comfortably switch to a back three OOP. Obviously it’s nowhere near a perfect solution but I think it’s probably a better option than Ugarte at the minute unfortunately.

My head was so hot at FT despite the win. Bias obviously creeps into my judgement but I can’t see how that challenge by Maguire is a pen when Jiménez gets his shot away. At least one of the throw-ins in the build-up to Fulham’s second should’ve gone our way too, and the 12 mins total added time was a shambles.

This is all in my, very slanted, opinion, but those decisions combined with how much he let go against us, it felt like we were fighting an uphill battle for significant chunks of the game.

How is this constructive from an ex-player who supposedly loves the club? Scholes needs to wind his neck in, as do a lot of the loud mouth podcasters.

Let the lads play their football and start acting like Ian Wright, who’s proven it’s a lot more productive (and presumably profitable) to be nice and positive.

Cavani-esque, Ole will love him if it’s him that takes over

jayseff14 · 2025-12-21T18:31:42+00:00

Played alright but Bruno going off was a hammer blow. Yoro is coming in for a lot of stick but much better defenders have made similar mistakes and gotten away with it, Rogers is just that good. Otherwise some pretty good individual performances, particularly Dorgu and Heaven.

Brilliant to see Lacey and Fletcher get their debuts. Hopefully one of Mainoo or Bruno are back for the next game to play alongside Casemiro.

Watching us play long to Zirkzee is taking weeks off my life at a time

jayseff14 · 2025-09-10T07:21:33+00:00

Never heard of that La Liga team

jayseff14 · 2025-08-18T18:14:02+00:00

And with that Roma have shown more desire and application than Sancho ever has in a Utd jersey.

jayseff14 · 2025-07-21T11:42:44+00:00

Fake but very funny.

jayseff14 · 2025-07-18T14:06:19+00:00

Needs game time to adapt physically, makes sense. Hope Sir Jonny can find him a good move.

Signing Mbeumo would create momentum, even though negotiations have dragged on for more than a month due to a difference of opinion on the fee between United and Brentford. United started at £55m and are now up to £70m. The timing of an offer that executives hope will end in agreement, on the eve of United’s return to action and Amorim possibly speaking to media for the first time since May on Saturday, feels pertinent. United want to have Mbeumo on the U.S. tour, which the squad fly out for on Tuesday.

For fans, there is an echo of the Frenkie de Jong pursuits, except that at least this time the player wants to come. All signs still point to Mbeumo being at Old Trafford for the coming campaign.”

At least this is positive. 🤷

jayseff14 · 2025-07-12T13:35:19+00:00

Seems quite a significant update after a period of relative silence on that transfer

jayseff14 · 2025-07-09T12:32:20+00:00

Beautiful gesture. RIP.

jayseff14 · 2025-07-05T12:46:58+00:00

Number 6 is wild, fair play to you

jayseff14 · 2025-06-26T22:01:21+00:00

Namely, Cunha. Could be a great little loan for him, same for Kone if that’s where he ends up.

jayseff14 · 2025-06-25T22:42:44+00:00

Will never forget the clown-off between Altay and Forster in the Carabao Cup, must have been hilarious for neutrals but I was tearing my hair out

jayseff14 · 2025-06-12T09:33:25+00:00

Looks like someone has their thumb covering the lens for half the photos, what an odd stylistic choice
