I remember thinking after last season that they would push on and be really challenging at the top for the title this season. Then when they signed Ronaldo I thought that he was the icing on the cake, and that they could surely be Champions.
I don't know what went wrong in the first half of the season. I'm quite certain however that getting in an interim manager for the second half of the season is a mistake, especially one whose philosophy doesn't match the players.
Could it also be true to say that the modern game generally doesn't suit players like Pogba, Ronaldo, and Kirk at our level? These players who won't track back to get behind the ball and also do a high press, are they going to go out of the game?0 -
I think they've had to change the way the play because of Ronaldo. They went unbeaten for a long time away from home because they played a fast counter attacking style, they can't play like with Ronaldo there. His arrival has also significantly reduced Fernandes' impact.
But aside from that i think the level has gone up this year. United came 2nd with 74 points which is pretty low and would've had you a distant 3rd in most recent seasons. This year 74 points would likely see you finish 4th because the top 3 have got much better.0 -
I see the live games were chosen. Pretty uninspiring apart from Kidderminster although the Forest game should be good. Good that Boreham Wood will get some tv money although viewing figures will be pretty shit.

The ties weren't very exciting to be fair, so it's not as if the TV companies have left out the best gamesChris_from_Sidcup said:I see the live games were chosen.

Man U charging Boro fans £45 for that game - £15 more than the premier league away ticket price cap.
On TV and on a Friday night as well.0 -
Boro equaliser at Old Trafford. Not sure how it's got past VAR though.0
-
Boro get away with a handball before they equalise. One of those ones where because the player who handled the ball didn't score himself, the goal wasn't disallowed...0
-
How has that not been disallowed?
F'ing hilarious lol0 -
VAR is a joke,like the commentators just said,if that was a defender then it wouldve been a penaltyCallumcafc said:Boro equaliser at Old Trafford. Not sure how it's got past VAR though.0 -

Taylor's seen that and not given it because he thinks VAR will give it and it hasn't. Ridiculous decision0
-
Boro deserved to concede there, fannying around with it at the back.0
-
🤣 shocker if a decision that. Who keeps fucking about with these laws. I can't keep up.0

Kasey Keller in the ESPN studio keeps calling them "Middles Bro". I thought he would've known better!0

Man U playing their trump card. Juan Mata comes off the bench.0

Looks like penalties at Old Trafford.0

With TV commentry like that, what hope is there?5 - Sponsored links:

Some seriously brave penalties from Boro, hitting the roof of the net. But as Elanga shows, it's a risky strategy0

Everyone running to the keeper who didn’t make a save.
Haha
just natural to run to the keeper after a shootout.2 -
Boro win 8-7 on penalties.
15 scored in a row, followed by a miss from a 19 year old.0 -
Boros penalties, particularly Peltier and Bambas, were class2

Rashford is just a bang average player who peaked at a young age. No different to the likes of Theo Walcott.Gravesend_Addick said:There's something wrong with Rashford. He actually looked depressed tonight.
Think he needs to take time away from the game2 -
