Time to get rid

Clearly a good player on his day but for United only he can seem to decide when his good days will be..

Unlike for France where he always puts in a shift

Sell him on , replace move on

All the noise around pogba seems to be he will see out contract and then move in summer. It’s one hell of an outlay for nothing in return.
I’ve never understood why they didn’t get Kante from Leicester at the time.

As for Ronaldo, a lot of the podcasts and journos this week been saying he is the problem and doesn’t fit the system… surely with a generational goal scorer you make the system fit him. They’ve got 2 seasons at best to get it right with Ronaldo, I’d not be worrying about the tracking back he does, but how I get my other 10 players to give him the platform he needs to score 30 goals.

Poor result today, cruising after 30 mins and should've had the game wrapped up.

Poor 2nd half performance, though credit to Brighton, they're a very good side if given the chance.

Still, at least we never got humiliated on our own patch by our fiercest rivals?

I'm not claiming to be but I'd enjoy trying ???

I think you are a DM and CM away from a good team.
If he buys them I think you will be top four no problem.

With the money he has spent, is that acceptable though?

Its no use him getting 30 goals, if the rest dont get many more and you also let in 30-40 goals in a season.

Just see Harry Kane7Spurs of the last few years. Its about how the team perform as a whole, not just one egotist.

Absolutely not
He needs silverware,and the players know it as well.

1. Would you trust him in January with another 100 million to spend?

2. If he doesnt win anything this year, and say finishes 3rd or 4th, do you go into next season with him?

1. It is hard to know who is buying the players anyway. If Ole bought De Beek I'd be shocked

2. Unlikely, though I'd be shocked if we finished 3rd, or even 4th.

Fair play to Brighton today, they gave us a hell of a scare.

At 2-0 down they flooded the front line on the break which is a high risk strategy with our normal transition but gave us loads of trouble. At times, they would have it down the wing and 2-3 where breaking their necks to get forward, and overloading our centre defence.

do you think he has much say in who is bought?

That’s a tough one
C/l next year is a must for certain
Can’t see us winning the league or C/L this year,that leaves the FA cup.
20+ points behind the winners this year and it might just be too much.
Also will depend on who’s available.
I believe we are looking for stability,so someone short term is no good,chopping and changing won’t help.

Thought a few of your players looked leggy,tired?

 

[Liverbirdie]

Its a fair question. If he doesnt he needs to grow a pair and stop the club buying marketing sensations instead of players.

Agreed, all that running back to the centre spot last week took it out of them.

Not really.
But as I said “ those players are very hard to find”

Nice to hear a bit of praise for Brighton!
I don't think anyone expected that result.
Especially when looking at the Premier prediction league on here! ?
