Unless they were under 20 obvs.

True. But we knew the kids stood no chance. Still stunned he plays Rashers, albeit out of position.

One of the major disappointments tbh. I was assured every player would improve 10 fold once the evil LVG regime was removed and Mourinho's majestic man management skills arrived. Same players that were shit are still shit, the same ones that work hard and do as they are told remain. The only difference between this and last is the number 9 and the increased power through the middle of the side. For me.

He's slotted in seamlessly over there, they're a very good attacking side tbf, fun to watch

They are, watched them against Roma and they were excellent, full of energetic dynamic players. The speed of their play is no doubt helping him, Utd were so pedestrian under LVG, attackers finally getting a pass with everyone behind the ball.

He does have more responsibility at Lyon, confidence of knowing that he is going to play, Dunk is correct with the Martial problem. Still see him as a poor mans Ronaldo, but latter Ronaldo without that initial base of dribbling ability.

Yeah. Also the team has that set up which is more cautious against the counter attack, so we don't expose De Gea as much. But otherwise, based on what's happened so far I dread to think how low Mou would have finished with lasts seasons group

He'd have won the league with last seasons squad.. (c) everyone riding Mou's dick once he was sacked at Chelsea last season.

He probably would not have wasted the best part of £250 million on players ill suited to the league and Utd.

Defending LVG through the excuse that he wasted a load of money on shit players seems a bit odd.

My point all season was that we had too many shit players and nowhere near enough goals. I was assured that this wasn't the case and a decent manager would be pissing it with the players we had.

Which is why many fancied us for the league this season. Before later deciding they'd love the Europa.

There is an awful lot of %@#$&!s being spouted on this thread.

Can we stick to Depay and not derail another thread into slating our manager, ta

Don't think anyone reasonable thought we should have been pissing it last season. It was still an appalling campaign, you have to take into account the abysmal standard of the league, Liverpool, City and Chelsea were all terrible, to finish outside the top 4 against that level of competition was unforgivable.

Yes, and at least we haven't LOST to the likes of Norwich at home this campaign.
