The Footie Thread

Greenwood is one of the best two-footed finishers I’ve seen at United in years. Totally leaving aside the circumstances in which his demise came about, from a purely footballing perspective he is an enormous loss.

UTD really were stuck between a rock & a hard place on the Greenwood situation.
Personally I think they handled it well.
Silly boy

In the rain with the wind off the Mersey? Bracing!

Be a right laugh with kids or older supporters

This Everton game was brought to you by Galvin Green

Apparently United inserted a buy back clause in Greenwood's contract.

Should they, if the opportunity is presented?

The case against Greewnood where charges were eventually dropped is as clear as mud. Should Greenwood return to Utd. I think it would spilt the fans. If Utd were flying and didn’t need him. He would not even warrant a discussion. It’s a sad situation that Utd find themselves in that he is still discussed about possibly one day returning. One player is not the answer to Utds problems both on and off the pitch.
Personally I hope he sorts his head out and we don’t have another “ leopard don’t change its spots” moment.

From a footballing standpoint, absolutely. He’s a quality player, one I remain convinced would have played through the middle under Solskjaer, but for the arrival of Ronaldo. But that’s history.

The issue is that a football club the size of United, with its global stature, is not just about football. The brand will probably be a bigger consideration than the eleven players on the pitch. For that reason alone I’m not sure he will ever pull on a United shirt again.

A real shame. But only one person to blame.

If your going to do that you should have kept him in the first place and just rode the flack.!

I can see him coming back and utd hoping it’s calmed down.
He’d get hammered by away fans tho.

Think NFL or all US sports have some rules about domestic abuse etc

But imo Man Utd tested the waters last year about him and the reaction was very negative

I suspect most man Utd fans wouldn’t want him near the club regardless of how good he is

Then there is the case of Ronaldo and the rape case in the US

Here’s hoping ten Hag’s decision to start Rashford ahead of Garnacho, and leave Ugarte on the bench, does not come back to bite him.

Seriously, I say it every week but just how bad does Rashford have to play to get benched?

I'm still going 0-3 ......................................... it's the hope that'll kill me!

United have gone all colour blind, again!

 

[Slime]

Dodged a bullet there, Utd are all over the place.

 

[Slime]

What a crazy five minutes.
I still think the wrong team is leading!

No.

Southampton must be kicking themselves
golden chance to take a lead when playing well but really poor penalty and United go up and score

Good finish from Rashford for the second and pretty much game over
