@YB, have said it from the off, Amorim is too much of a change mid-season. United, much like City, will hold thorough beatings before the season’s done.

Ekwensu Literature, as we have all said it from the off, Arteta will never win the league. Arsenal, much like Tottenham, will continue to choke for the rest of their lives.

Have some shame and go to your failed team's forum.

FFS they could not even raise their game to honour club legend Denis Law. United teams usually raise their game and win the next match after a club legend dies (e.g. Sir Matt Busby, George Best, Cathy Ferguson, Sir Bobby Charlton etc). This lot could not even do that.

Amorim just called this current team the worst Manchester United team in the club's history.

Too much change at a time when United cried for stability. Most of their wins have been fortuitous, down to individual brilliance more than anything else. At what point does one concede repeating the same sequence and expecting a change in fortunes is the stuff of fantasy, fiction or madness. Dare one say it, Erik the Red would’ve had more points on the board given the chance.

Rangnick would have had more points. For all his faults, Rangnick had a good eye for talented players. Look at the players he advised United to buy (United ignored all of his recommendations) and where they are today: Haaland, Gvardiol, Laimer, Julian Alvarez. All of them are box office.

They should have promoted him upstairs as originally planned. I doubt the 85 million for Antony, 60 million for Mount, 75 million for Hojlund, and 60 million for Casemiro transfers would have happened under his watch.

Chelsea may have dropped bid for Garnacho. Stealing your gems. If you ask nicely, we will sell Disasi to you.

Chelsea fans think 60M is too much for him. Still raw. Mount had CL medal when you got him. Way too cheap.

Don't worry about United. They will keep making BIG money, and they understand that you use money to make more money. If they start looking for cheap bargain players like Arsenal does, it will negatively affect their brand. Teams that are rich and used to spending money typically become used to identifying and buying quality, and will, more often than not, buy wisely. Cheap teams even when they get windfall, will go and overpay for average players, in the name of spending money. Man U may be spending big, and may not always get it right, but it is clear they go for players with a purpose, and usually those who can immediately impact them.
People came here to complain when Man U splashed on De Gea and Bailly.... Even though I am not a Man U fan, one can't help but admire the gangster attitude of signing the likes of Rooney and Fellaini from Everton, Tevez from West Ham, Berbatov from Tottenham, RvP and now Sanchez from Arsenal. Each of those players came and WON something. Now, they also have Mata, Matic and Lukaku from other EPL teams.
Signing sanchez meaning, we open up a new frontier in south america, Chile first united player, see where i am getting at, a whole new fan base, united has to be seen to sign the best players in the world, thats why we are a global brand and as someone said, you use money to make money, hopefully sanchez will have a immediate impact in our frontline, there are still a lot of games to be played, champions league, we need a strong squad, we need to finish in the top 4 this season, TV money has increased in recent years, a good run in the champions league will bring in increased revenues, football is big business these days
I understand what you guys are talking about.
But is there any chance that the football bubble may burst for whatever reason. Or the monies will keep pouring in to a point where the top players are getting 5 million per week or even more.
And what will that translate into? People refusing to play football, or fans refusing to watch?

United “didn’t want him anymore” because Ten Hag insisted on signing Antony instead.

Cannot believe United will let Rashford go to another Premier League club. Meanwhile, Malacia is close to joining Benfica, and Patrick Dorgu is on his way to Manchester for a medical.
