Manchester United - News, Developments & Season

[danfo driver]

kenya! guess this is the closest they can get to success.

5 of Man Utd's 6 outfield subs were teenagers. They finished the game with a 17yo, two 19yo, and a 21yo scored the winning goal.

Beaten by academy players, pls OGS, continue to play academy players, life is good

I would have been OK with a brave and gallant defeat today. I just wanted Utd to put up a good fight, and thought they would be up against it with 10 outfield players out (11 once Bailly went off injured). The victory was all the more amazing given that they played the last few minutes with 9 men (Chong and Greenwood are promising, but not yet ready for this level of competition). I was thinking that a silver lining to CL elimination was that it would reduce their fixtures at a time when the club resembles a hospital casual ward with all the injuries. Now with FA Cup, EPL, and CL fixtures, who on earth will they manage to get on the pitch?!

Fourteen points off the top with 9 games to play, the fast approaching mathematical impossibility of a title win gaining form with each passing weekend. Locked in a three-way tussle for fourth place. United spending a second more in a competition that Beloved is so desperate to reach, United exceeding our best return in how many years, with an interim manager who was so pathetic at Cardiff, Neil Warnock's shower of sh*t is being considered "making a fist of it"...is by no means good for Beloved. Tis more grease for that f*cking Mancunian elbow, TV money, gate receipts, celebrity, favour, tweets, retweets, dabs, handshakes, Milly Rock, fraggle rock and the rest of it.

Its belief, its form, its inspiration. Its dangerous.

Two of them were Rashford and J Lingz and have since gone on to play in a WC semi-final.

FWIW i am not against the Academy, far from it

But the issue is, do you guys wanna conquer England (possible with Academy players) or rub shoulders with Barca, Juve, PSG, RM etc

LVG promoted 10+ Academy players...majority were sh'ite and have found their level

[wiseone]

It is somewhat creepy that OGS picked exactly the same starting 11 that I did below, and exactly the same 7 substitutes as well...

With this casualty list, how many players can Man Utd get onto the pitch against PSG? Perhaps switch to a back 3 with:

DDG
Bailly-Smalling-Lindelof
Young-Pereira-McTominay-Fred-Shaw
Rashford-Lukaku

Subs: Romero, Dalot, Mark Red, Garner, Chong, Gomes, Greenwood

Good grief. That is a very green bench!

This thread is a perfect example of why one cannot take CE too serious in commentry. The haters of Man U cannot even get themselves to be objective. Anyway onwards and upwards. To the next game.. Moving on. Well done Tfco for calling this one early on

football is never about 11 individuals but a team, i said this in another thread! i was shot down for saying this, PSG did not play like a team yesterday, they were busy showcasing their passing skills forgetting they had to score! they will simply learn the hard way

I have a suggestion: Arsenal vs PSG in the 2nd round of UEFA CL any year. every year...at least one of them will win.

too many signs yesterday! like you pointed out, the rain, the early goal, 1st half united leading, at 2-1 PSG just wanted to control the flow of the game, they did not seem to push for the 2nd goal that would have killed off this tie, they became complacent, Mbappe, too many fancy touches, they have to learn how to finish off teams, they got sucker punched by real madrid, barcelona, now united!

[Nkume]

PSG was robbed. Never a penalty.

i always provide receipts

[Bigpokey24]

so United won..PSG nah real trash on serious note..massive respect to Ole .... at least we get to see Pogba balling like no tomorrow and that boy Rashford...now that is a player the English should be hyping..because he is the real deal

[tfco]

karma
he should not have been on the field to begin with

[tfco]

using the England NT as a yardstick to big up the United Academy is kind of cringe

WC semis...ok

Two of them were Rashford and J Lingz and have since gone on to play in a WC semi-final.

very

i would have put Dalot at RB to start

[tfco]

Once PSG got to terms with the English physicality, their football overcame. Always the extra man in CM, by switching to a 3-4-3, allowing Veratti to play United like a fiddle!

man has not commented on the 2nd Leg

yeye

[tfco]

Imagine losing at home to a PSG side without Neymar and Cavani.

Imagine losing at home to United Academy players
