Squad depth is the name of the game.
United's squad does not have enough quality at depth beyond the starting XI.

Given that they're maintaining the stupid five subs rule, I imagine the big, rich teams will be stockpiling players more than ever, since they can give out more minutes to everyone.

The 5 subs really does play into the hands of the big spenders, I can see an even bigger gap opening up with the likes of Liverpool, City, Chelsea and Utd having the spending power.Given that they're maintaining the stupid five subs rule, I imagine the big, rich teams will be stockpiling players more than ever, since they can give out more minutes to everyone.

The water break and five sub rule needs to go ASAP. Theres no water break in August and September usually, when it can reach 30 degrees yet we've got to endure another stop in play when conditions are fine. The pace of play without crowds is more friendly like so even less reason for it.
Grealish is a very good player but not sure he's got the right mentality to be at a top club. Maybe he needs a big move to help him grow up and improve his attitude though. Looks to me like someone who cruises through games and spends more time winning cheap free kicks and playing with his hair, than dominating matches. If United are haggling over Sancho at £80m, no way will they go near him for anything over £40m. I think if they can offload Pogba for decent money, Grealish would be a good upgrade although both have the same negative traits.

No surprise is it? Taking that long, there had to be issues.
Do you think we can now stop hearing all about the wonderful talents, the life of Amanda Stavely up here now? A super rich fixer, I really don't care.
Sad for the club though, they can't move forwards until Ashley has gone.

Nothing to do with time or human rights, everything to do with piracy over TV deals.
Kill people nae bother. Bypass PL TV rights.....you're dusted. The PL allowed the Glazers to borrow against MUFC's assets, future value and profits, offsetting the interest, no questions asked. Yet a cash buyer with nothing other than good intentions they stall because of TV rights.
Throw in Man City being allowed a sponsorship deal worth FIVE TIMES the deal Arsenal got for a shorter contract. Despite being a higher profile club and in London with a new stadium.

I am actually genuinely surprised, I didn’t think for one second the PL would hesitate to get into bed with MBS, he’s too rich and powerful to say no too. I think in public they’ll say they followed a process and Saudis couldn’t fulfil that, but in private they’ll be gutted they couldn’t leverage a situation to enhance the next Middle East tv deal.
As mentioned above, this has nothing to do with human rights, but all to do with money. If the PL were interested in human rights they wouldn’t be taking money from the Qataris

So basically like your mortgage then?
And they have provided the necessary investment for players, not done any of the scare tactics that the rentamob Shareholders United lot promised would happen and stayed out of the way to let football people make the decisions. I would think most Premier League teams would want owners like that.
They have put the club in heavy debt and are also taking big chunks of money out of the club every year, very big chunks. I don't think you will find many fans wanting Glazer like owners at their club.

You think Grealish is better than Pogba?

He has a better hairstyle than Pogba ?
It depends what Pogba turns up and where. For france theres no chance, for Yernited, probably .
Who are we thinking for FA cup final today, I think Chelsea will win it, only because the Arsenal defence is terrible ??

True enough, but you could equally say the same of chelsea. At least arsenal have a 'keeper who stops the ball every now and then...
I've no dog in the fight, but chelsea seem to defend the break quite poorly, while that is also arsenal's most potent weapon. It's never a bad idea to score first, but might be particularly important in this one.
Sadly, it might also lead to quite a cagey game. I hope not.
