Reckon Ronaldo is off? Cant work out where I think he would go if im honest! But he will want CL football!

Who knows for sure? I hope he stays, and his celebrations in his last game at home might indicate that. Yes, not playing Champions League is the big thing that might make him decide to play elsewhere.

In terms players leaving Utd, there are many many more suitable candidates to get booted out before Ronaldo. And they'll need replaced, so if Ronaldo was to also go it just adds another position that needs filling, and another headache. So, I think the decision is more down to Ronaldo, rather than the club or management happy to let him go.

I actually said they weren't cancelling games, willy nilly, during the Covid situation.

Subtle difference.

The other teams are all playing catch up due to missed games .......................... cancelled during the Covid situation.

Sorry but you have missed the entire point and are incorrect

We are on game week 36. Game week 37 is next week

United are one game ahead of everyone and have no game next week in game week 37

They played a game before everyone else

Someone would have to buy him too I suppose! Might not be many suitors out there... PSG seems the obvious option if Mbappe goes Messi and Ronaldo in the same team, can you even imagine!

We have one game to play, most have three games to play, some have four!
The fixture list has got all backed up, due to Covid.
That is why United don't have a game this week, because they're not having to play catch up.

No it's not

They don't have a game to play because their games were fitted in and the chelsea game moved because of fa cup final

Otherwise you would be playing them this week

It's very rare to have a non game week when not playing in a comp

The two teams in the final had games to play so fitted them in the week after

Your games that were delayed were fitted in sooner as other teams were still in the cups etc

It is to do with the fa cup final moving your Chelsea game not covid

Maybe those who did the schedule didn't anticipate how 'sh1te' MU's season would be/thought they might feature in more European/Cup games!

Just more of the usual B-S soundbtes that most top managers - including Klopp - spout. Mourinho, particularly, and Fergie, when understandable, were experts at it. Wenger not so much. I haven't seen enough of the other current top 6 managers to really comment on them, but I'm sure they are similar, if slightly toned down. It's also part of the way they 'inspire' the players too.

Awful game of football, the quality was shocking. We did our usual trick, press, press, press for a goal and get suckered on the break.

Too much pressure or is the standard just not very good?

100% it’s lack of quality mate, we have a small number of decent players and the rest are just League 1 cloggers who aren’t comfortable with the “play out from the back” thing we try and do. We spent half the game playing head tennis in midfield, it was just crying out for someone to get their foot on it and play a simple pass. Terrible game of football to watch.

I saw the preview and first few minutes. From what was said, is what you describe not what Barry Bannan is there for? Did he upset someone yesterday and they just bypassed him?

Green shoots for next year or does another year in that division just drag you down further?

anything good they did came from Bannan from what I saw of the game, that said he had to go looking for it rather them providing him a platform to work from. he must be getting on a bit now too?

32 apparently. Looks older than that, tough paper round . Sounds like the sort of player the other team members should be feeding, not bypassing. Next year..........
