If we’re honest it’s been brewing for a while between those two tbf.

Dunk has never been wrong about anything, ever, on the internet tbh so £#%&! all chance of him stepping down

Have your moment... well done. Only a fool will think that if we continue to play this poorly in large swathes of games then we’ll win anything again this season.

Greenwood has to have a run down the middle. Martial is out and Rashford obviously isn't right.

Get James in and then flood the midfield with Pogba, Fernandes and Van de Beek. The Scottish Player with them. Reckon we could do well.

Think you mean three mate.

sometimes i think it's easier for the media in this country to point the finger at manchester united for being sub standard than acknowledge the real problem...

..which is that we have an oil funded sportwashing enterprise running away with the league again that's slowly over the last 10 years squeezed all the competitiveness out of our premier league.

You’re right but there will be arguments that Liverpool ran away with it last season and Chelsea invested strongly and it didn’t pay off for them.

You could also look at how bad we were backed in the summer. We had to wait until January to get the player we signed instead of Sancho.

massive 3 points.....should cement the top 4 now wiht a 11 point gap to Spurs who we happen to play next sunday after our Europa match

Greenwood MoTM, even playing out of position. Thank £#%&! also that Bruno never stops trying and Shaw continues to be a beast (although I would fault him slightly for that first goal). The rest wasn't great but that's top 4 done I reckon, probably even second.

Good first 20, then a bad 25. Great second half though, we were fantastic and absolutely smothered then to turn the game around. But ater playing pretty well, Fred went to utter shite as soon as we went ahead, his head completely went.

Good win in the end, Brighton are no mugs and one of the rare instances where their league position doesn't reflect the performances they've put in over the season so far, and they were in form going into the game.

Cavani was shit.

Covid season has £#%&!ed the players physically. We play much better with a high press but outside of bruno and fred(probably only thing he is good for) the players half arse it.

Strange times these. Clear improvement, but with constant nagging problems that have yet to be solved. The next moves are critical. As things stand we’re just as likely to slip back into a race for 4th as making a proper fist of a title challenge next season.

James is decent at it.

yea, he has a good work rate and has built up some decent form for him. Expect him to start on Thursday.

No it’s not. Won’t post the evidence because you’d ignore it anyway.

You're wrong. Again. We've come from behind twice at Old Trafford this season to win.

Is it the first time in the PL though?

Could well be, and what I meant to post tbh. Honest.
