I’m #teamric on this one. Was hardly a resounding success was it? We all backed him at one point and it ended disastrously.

We all already knew that MehTominay, Mehguire, Mehlanga and Aaron Wan Mehssaka aren't anywhere close to first team quality. Presume 1 or all of them will be £#%&!ed off by the summer. Squad needs better 2nd options.


Bringing on Case, Eriksen and Rashford was grossly unfair. Alejandro is superb. Pellestri deserves his chance. Up the £#%&!ing on the way to wembley tricky reds

Sparky.

Pellestri has to be second choice RW now until Sancho comes back. Last night was the last straw for elanga for me. He can’t even be a squad player.

Mainoo looked good in places. Probably a couple years away from a loan to get first team football but the experience would have done him the world of good.

The Scottish Player another one that needs the chop in the summer.

I think if we keep mejbri next season and sign a CM, get rid of The Scottish Player . It should leave us with enough options in midfield.

A great strike from Anthony but he was poor for most of the game. Maybe losing Dalot didn`t help him. Maguire shocking, McTominey even worse and Malacia had a bad one to. It was a good move to bring on the Ist team subs because it looked as though we might ship a goal at any time. I was impressed with Pallistri when he came on but I thought Garnacho was my MOTM apart from Rashers of course whose on fire! Thank you to Trafford Borough Council for issuing me with a parking ticket at 12 minutes past 10 in the poring rain. @#%&!s!

I got one of those at the Bournemouth game. @#%&!s

Anyone who has watched United could tell you when Ronaldo did play there was a sense of “ play him in through first” . Whether it was subconsciously because of who he is or an actual tactical direction I don’t know.

But there were elements of , get it to him first even if there is a slightly better option. I understand you have to play to your strengths and if you have a world class player the team should be driven to create as much for him. But Ronaldo had been poor all season (by his standards) . Lack of goal scoring aside, he misplaced passes, heavy touches, arms going up after the first misplaced pass to him or even if the wasn’t picked out .

The couple of europa league games against the cannon fodder where he wasn’t struggling to keep up with them physically was hard to watch.

Take him out, we play better as a team. we can see it with our eyes. I am glad he is gone and we can start to build for the future

You have to think we were building something at the time when Ronaldo arrived.

Absolutely disrupted the squad, caused havoc with the wage structure, cost Ole his Job which ended up being our worst season in sometime with the disaster that was Ralf and then if course the interview

Was this all worth it just to stop him going city? Yes it probably was

This is true. They create about 5/6 clear cut chances a game. He would have won the golden boot as he was doing it and probably took them far in the champions league too.

Ronaldo, Pogba, Lingard all gone. Look to the bright future.

Every recent match thread has had people in it saying that actually we weren’t that good. Signings are being written off after a handful of games. Heads are falling off because we’re trying to sign someone who played for Burnley.

This is the most positive place the club has been in for years, and some people still want to see the negatives in everything.

No negativity here Geoff. It's great watching us at the moment. Think Antony is waaaay overrated by some but let's see how he develops once he learns he has a right foot.

Elanga is not very good, But we have had to put up with The Scottish Player for years now and he is utter turd. sell the Scottish fraud too

Is he way overrated though? Aren't people saying he's not played many games?

This Antony has no right foot meme has run its course already tbh. Literally scored with it on Friday ffs

ffs. he could have used his head to score that and he wouldn't be great in the air.
