From sad act player fan accounts on Twitter to Gary £#%&!ing Neville. The minute united drop a point, or even another team has the ball for more than 30 seconds. They are ready to sink their teeth in and carry out assassinations on anyone in a red shirt and the manager.

Gary Neville whos ideal Man United team apparently, according to him hit teams quick. Use wingers, cross it in and work hard is then moaning because he doesnt see 'Patterns of play' It's amazing how this then seeps into the public consciousness. He takes the £#%&!ing piss, he probably spent half is career crying about what the papers wrote to the manager and now he's actively part of the mob constantly talking united down. In his own bubble he doesn't even realise. Take him the £#%&! off united games in the future. Honestly rather have Carragher.

Spurs were magical, majestic, the football they played. Look how far ahead of United they are. Score 2-2. They scored from a corner and counter attack. Real control

The pressure on this team and the manager is immense, but £#%&!ing hell it's actually taking the piss at this point

Post.

Genuinely can't stand Neville. He's absolutely disgusting when he's on our games. The penalty calls this season, anytime its a decision for us "No, nothing in it, they won't give this". If it's a dive or a really debatable penalty being looked at by us "Its a penalty....they'll give it", then when it's not given "Ooooooh, Shaws a lucky boy there. Even though it's a clear dive, it should be given."

I understand he doesn't want to come across as biased but ffs, he's 100% the other way. He's never positive about us. Never. Then he wants to talk about the Glazers like he's one of us. £#%&! off Gary, you weasel. Carragher is unabashed cheerleader when Liverpool and its nauseating. At least you know where he stands though.

I can't watch the Overlap for obvious reasons but Neville is almost as vile as Carragher. Snide @#%&!.

This lad.

My £#%&!ing god. The lack of self awareness of some of these players.

You’re having a shocker of a season Rashford. How about you just keep your £#%&!ing head down and try not to be shit every week?

Stupid @#%&! strolls about while the oppo are launching yet another attack just a few feet away and he wonders why the support is pissed off with him

Nose too far up his own arse.

Didn’t help that some were calling for a knighthood for him 12 months ago

Would be his best achievement this season if he's managed to take its full length.

our deluded fan base won’t to hear how we are the biggest team in the world and that we sell our OT every game.
basically anything but the truth.
“Talking United down” - saying it as it is as we sit there with a negative goal difference in January scoring at a rate of 1 goal per game….


We £#%&!ing stink every week , we look like 11 strangers on the pitch every game and any half decent team seem to just play through us.
Spurs drew game with a 2nd choice front 6. “Lads it’s spurs” yeah that team with half their team out… bettering us in every metric except fan attendance. (Shots, possession, etc)
It’s like us going to anfield with a front 6 of -
The Scottish Player , amrabat mount, pellistri , sancho, martial and having 64 percent possession , playing progressive good football.

Sunday afternoon game and we weren’t even god enough to push for a winner at HOME against a depleted spurs. Couldn’t even muster up numerous shots on goal in the 2nd half but yeah Neville should just say something positive

Gary Neville sometimes overcooks it but what do you want him to say?
That we are great? That’s everyone hates us?
The truth is they love us right now, most of our peers would love to play us right now….can we say the same?

How about this manager that some of you claim is a miracle worker actually shuts the critics up by producing some good football instead of stuttering through interviews and banashing players…

Is OT quite flat these days because of the media or because of every other week a half decent team are playing better than us infront of our fans eyes
We’ve lost 4 out of 11 games at home in the league….
Our rivals ? City 0 / Liverpool 0 / arsenal 1 / Villa 0 / Brighton 1 / Chelsea 3 / Spurs 3
But yeah while trying mantain standards let’s moan about Neville not being positive…a start would be our manager overseeing a positive goal difference for a start…

Did Gary Neville commentate us into finishing 4th in an easy ecl group?

It’s time some of stopped looking to blame someone else.
Liverpool have inhalers, refs favour arsenal blah blah blah
We are shit and and worse that we should be even if you factor in the off field issues….who is to blame….You already know

What has happened to him ffs?

He was such a keen, hard working kid who genuinely looked like he loved playing for the club.

Now, he’s the opposite. Miserable, frustrated and seems like he’s got a really pissy relationship with the club and the fans

He’s been absolutely dog shit this season and should just enjoy moments like that rather than acting like it’s some told you so moment of redemption. It was one goal. And he was later subbed when we needed a winner.

Everything looks like a chore for him now. Like it’s all just too much for him.

We’ll have some moments from him because he’s a talented boy, but he’ll never be the top forward we keep hoping he will be. We should cash in in the summer if there’s a big offer*. Player and club need a fresh start.

*we won’t

We should definitely sell him this summer - best thing for club and player. Obvs aslong as we can secure an alternative that doesn’t treat playing football as if it’s some Shakespearean plot against him.

He’s delusional - too self absorbed, gives way too much attention to all the social media bullshit, probs has an army of yes men and really bad advisors (brothers I’m guessing) around him with £#%&! off massive chips on their shoulders contaminating his thoughts. He befriends absolute #@&%!s.

Can’t work out why those wanting Ten Hag to remain at old Trafford don’t want him £#%&!ed off pdq. I think it’s obvious they don’t see eye to eye and if Rashford is like he is on the pitch then god knows what he’s like in the dressing room. Toxic.

Finding a non-#@&%! footballer is a challenge these days though. They're all so self-absorbed and full of themselves. One goal and he does that What a cretin.

This lad.

Sick to £#%&!ing death of this @#%&! now tbh. he has far more bad days than good and has failed to live up to his incredible promise from when he first came on the scene.



Rashford needs to buck his ideas up as well.

He’s crucial to the way Ten Hag wants to play, I think that’s pretty obvious. I’ve definitely lost patience with him - he’s disappeared up his own arse. But finding a replacement with his attributes won’t be easy or cheap, if that’s what Ten Hag is committed too. I think that’s probably why it feels like he’s been a bit lenient with him.

Since being played in his proper position for 4 games, he’s he’d 4 g/a. It’s a pretty good return for a left forward tbf.

I still think he suffers from depression / Bi polar

You saw it in ole’s last season & the Ralf debacle - he basically gave up,lost confidence and his body language looked shit.

ETH comes in last year, brings with it a bit of optimism and all of a sudden Rashford is playing well again and seems to have a smile on his face.

This year his mate gets dropped and is banished from the first team and all of a sudden stroppy Rashford is back

He’s not good enough for United to carry him through his down spells and if a club comes in with a decent offer it would be best for all concerned to let him go

The return has improved and the forwards are starting to score and assists. 6 goals, 2 each in the last 3 league games. Improvement. The concern is still the performance, especially Rashford. Hojlund and Garnacho drift in and out, but they’re 19/20 and raw. Their attitude is spot on too. They keep going. Rashford has no such excuse and his decision making is absolutely shocking.

He doesn’t seem to learn or improve. There seems to be no desire or even acknowledgement that he needs to get better. He does the same things over and over again and then starts with gestures when he does finally score.

It’s a bad attitude and he needs to cut it out.

He was shit after he scored. He proved nobody wrong. That should have been the catalyst to kick on and instead he had an awful second half and was hauled off when we needed a winner.

As you say, replacing him won’t be cheap, which is why we should only sell it the price is right. If PSG or someone else does put a massive offer on the table and we can put that straight into the team, we should consider it.
