Manchester United Thread

If a fan from a club like Chelsea would have posted something like that 5 years ago, you would have laughed with him... Surely, that must be sarcasm...
 
What most United fans don't seem to grasp is that with Ferguson gone, the best period of their club is gone and that there is a fairly big chance they will never witness a period like that in their life...
To be fair, have been rather unlucky this season. They must have played 3 or 4 matches where the opponent's GK played an absolute blinder (West Ham, Burnley, but there are others). They also deserved to win the match against Arsenal.

IMO United play better football now than under Moyes and LVG. The utter irony is that they are doing that under a manager who is the ultimate cynic and who has always said that he doens't care about style, but only about results.

The guy responsible for the transfers should be fired, United has bought too many players that aren't good enough or that are on their way down (Zlatan for example, why not play Martial and Rashford upfront).
 
I tend to agree, and it was a great goal...but why of all teams against Spurs?
It's not the first time that United wakes up against Spurs, was it two years ago under LVG near the end of the season that you suddenly started to play well against Spurs? A 3-0 win or 3-1?

Nice gesture by Mourinho to dedicate the win to Fellaini. For his own saken Fellaini should leave United. He is becoming the symbol of the post Ferguson era and the (relative) failure of United...when the crowd started to whistle when he warmed up...that must be devastating...

He is not the most eye-pleasing player and to be honest i also prefer to see our national team without him, but people who know him better say that he is a very nice guy...i feel for him.
 
31st December 2011: Defeat at home against Blackburn as young Pogba is left out of the team for a midfield of Rafael and Park

31st December 2016: World record signing Pogba scores late to save the day.
 
Man Utd are now 13 games unbeaten in all comps; their longest run since March 2013 under Sir Alex Ferguson (18 games).

Some cup games before a massive game v Liverpool
 
Jesus, how poor United were in the second match against a very poor Anderlecht team. Once again Fellaini saved them (that is wat Mourinho himself said, not me).

Don't understand that Mourinho doesn't see the Obvious: United play better without Zlatan.
 
Well he's probably out for most of the season now so we'll have to regardless. Fellaini has definitely improved under Jose. good squad player.
 
Still thin Mourinho is underachiving with this squad and with all the money he has spent...look at Spurs and how briljant they are doing without spending very much (although Sissoko was a big and an expensive mistake, don't understand that one).
 
nice to finish the season with that, unfortunately events of earlier this week mean its not the most celebratory mood but job done.
 
Get in! Back in the CL we are :D

Feels funny to finish behind Arsenal but still be in the CL, lol.

It all starts now. Now's the real show. Hopefully we do a lot better next season.
 
Like 95% of the neutrals i wanted Ajax to win, because...well because it's Ajax, the biggest football club in the world...the club that made football what it should be: the beautifull game.
Can't say that Man Utd didn't deserve to win, but this was the ugly game, Mourinho's way. An extremely lucky owngoal (and although Pogba got the goal, this definitely was an owng, so United won deservedlyoal, without the deflection it would never have been a goal) and then United could defend (which they did very well). The second goal at the beginning of the second half was a very good one and killed the game.

The young Ajax team did not enough, so United won deservedly, no discussion about that.

There are also positives for me: after the what happened earlier this week, this is something positive for the city of Manchester and for the Mancunians, they truly deserve this.

As a Spurs fan, it's a goo thing that Manchester United also has to play Cl football, now only Arsenal don't play Wednesday or Tuesday, but they have to play on Spursday...

Some people in this thread think i hate United. That is not true. I miss United as a powerhouse. Football need a competitive Man Utd. You should get rid of Mourinho. You got lots of good young players. He will not use them. He will insist on buying expensive foreign players that you don't really need.

Look at Conte and Pocchetino, they didn't moan but adapted their tactic and made their players big (Moses is the best example). I would go for Allegri or Jardim.

Good luck in the CL.
 
This time a lot of people wanted Utd to win, even lots of City fans. Naive mugs imo and proven by the Utd celebration video

Dull game. You know what you're getting with Mourinho tho.
Ajax manager had a mare. When you're up against a bus you need width but he had their wide players both within the width of the penalty box with no FBs in side. They spent the entire game trying to be intricate through the middle. Madness.

Anyway, on a more positive note, next season should be fun :

Are we going to see a season like 2007-08 or 2008-09 making a comeback?
 
So, what are the current proper transfer rumors? Seems everyone is joining as usual.
 
Silly Season so expect it all, The entire Monaco team, Griezmann and any CB the media can think off :)
 
I wouldn't mind the Colombian ajax cb. I've only watched that one game though and thought he looked good. Dont know how good he is overall.
 
IMO he was very poor in that final. I've seen much better matches from him, but Wednesday imo he was perhaps the worst player on the pitch.

Oh and by the way: Fellaini was great.
I'm well aware that United fans don't like him, but he has had an normous impact the last two seasons and that is fully recognized by both his managers.

I must confess that i'm not a big fan of his playing style either, but i feel for him...imo he has become the symbol of United's "downfall" in the eyes of some fans. First of all, there is no downfall and secondly Fellaini is very important to the team (just like Valancia, by the way).
 
Looks like they're signing Perisic.
May mean less of Fellaini next season. Perisic has the aerial presence for Jose's 'find the big lad at the back post' tactic.
Agree with you about Fellaini's impact but he's very much double-edged sword in that Utd lose ability to control CM with him in there
 
Thank you for everything Carrick. Was a fun last game to watch. Great goal to go with as well.
 
Fans bot happy about Perisic. I remember one or two seasons ago the fans were outraged when there was a rumour that United would buy Mane. He is a hell of a player now (but Perisic is nowhere near that good).
