The truly depressing thing about VdB was the fact that United never gave him a sniff. Of all the bizarre happenings at Old Trafford during the last decade, the treatment of this lad is right up there.

You might benefit next season still. If he keeps this up the new manager will like what he sees and bring him back into the fold.

You are right, a strange situation in how they treated him.
 
Great win, thankfully the Everton and Leeds teams from midweek failed to turn up.
Van De Beek easily MoM and Iwobi was non-stop for 90 minutes, not sure when his next good game will be.

Alli showed a bit of class at the end with a superb ball to Rondon that forced the Leeds keeper in to a great save.

All good again under Frank.;)
 
I know it was only an injured Leeds but that was a great game for the team performance we showed. Gordon is rapidly become my favourite player in the squad just based on the fight and energy he shows. Still really annoyed I missed what sounds like the best 30 mins of the season but it’s a nice feeling to be having more than one player we can say was our man of the match. I’ve gone all giddy.

As I put above, I was worried about the teams from midweek turning up, Leeds were unchanged but looked nothing like the team that drew with Villa, thankfully.

I wonder how much it would cost for VDB if he carries on like this and, only 18 points off 4th with 2 games in hand.;):geek:

Erik ten Hag would be my choice, by a distance, I'm certainly not sold on Poch.

ETH would be a disaster. He onlys plays his style of football at Ajax as they dominate 80% of games due to vastly superior quality. Almost every game is a training match. He would get found out badly in a top league and get nowhere near the time he'd need. The Utd job is way too big for him at this point.

Poch is the only person who stands a chance. Plays decent football, intense and a great man manager. Overachieved with Spurs, knows the league well and a point to prove.

I don’t understand this post. city play percentage/ dominate football and it works. As a City fan I hope they go for Poch and not ETH.

Great man manager.

His biggest failure is playing Kane in the CL final and losing the entire squads trust.....

so why isnt joe Linton sent off for 2 yellows there then?

I think fouls like that are deemed one continuous foul.

I'm personally happy with that, seems a common sense decision by a ref. Otherwise, you'd have to give a red card to anyone who grabs someone, let's go momentarily before regaining their grip on them.
 
I wonder how seriously Spurs will take tackling the use of the Y word. Seems to be a big push in the media... Or so we're led to believe, then within 3 minutes it was being sung.

So ask nicely again? Charge/ban fans for use of racially aggregated language? It's a real interesting one.
 
Don't think they'll do anything.
Nor do I think they should.

The fans will use the same defence as those saying it's ok for the N word to be used as long as you aren't white imo.

Which just keeps the word in circulation and will lead to more innapropriate use.
