If he’s not the first Premier League manager to get the sack this season I’ll be very surprised. They are a shockingly poor side.
They also don't seem to have learnt a thing from last season. He reminds me of Marco Silva during his time at Everton. Pretty football, defensively awful, failed to fix the same defensive faults that happened time and time again. You can't keep repeating mistakes and expect to stay as manager.
 
I did, thought the whole thing was a decent watch. That Utd fan seems to get everywhere.

It was really good wasn't it. They picked the crowd well and the Everton fan was brilliant. The presenter was spot on too, difficult job to manage the pundits and crowd but did it effortlessly. Roy Keane is just something special as a pundit. Why waste 100 words when 5 will suffice.
 
Watched a lot of Brentford last season. Superb side to watch and have the ability to finish top 10. Their Achilles heel is their consistency; prone to long stretches of poor performances.
 
says everything that they send a 21 year old debutant out to do the interviews (like they did with ESR and Saka last year), any of the so called more senior players, maybe the so called captain want to front up?
 
Pepe £75m :ROFLMAO: Without doubt the worst transfer deal in the football history.

Hmmmm. There have been some shockers at United, too. £52m for Fred is a particular lowlight. I keep hoping that someone will remind him he’s Brazilian.

Fred was never worth £50m but he's at least a decent player who was wanted by Pep at City too. Pepe was a nomark in France and chased by no one, yet Arsenal still managed to overpay for him. Lazy, arrogant, can't cross, can't finish and will be impossible to sell due to high wages. All he's got is a step over and the odd curler. I said last season he'll be on loan at West Ham soon but I actually think West Ham are above his level :ROFLMAO:

I agree regarding Pepe, but Fred a decent player?

He had a run of about half a dozen reasonable games in the middle of last season when I thought he had found his feet, but then reverted to type. He is an absolute catastrophe at this level, his passing, in particular, being amongst the worst I have ever seen.

United will never return to the pinnacle of English football with players like Fred playing anything more than a fringe role. He is beyond awful.
