As the world's biggest and richest club, Manchester United reach a global fanbase.

Part of the attraction for fans around the world has been the football luminaries, such as George Best and Sir Bobby Charlton, who have graced the Old Trafford turf in a Manchester United shirt over the years.

Recently, Manchester United have continued to attract or develop some of the game's biggest names, with England stalwarts such as Paul Scholes and David Beckham having been regular fixtures in the Reds line-up.

The Manchester United team, past and present, reads like a who's who of world football.

It is only fitting that a great team should grace a great stadium. And with Old Trafford's recent development and the closure of Wembley, the ground is easily the largest in English football, holding in excess of 60,000 fans.

Despite this capacity, the demand to see United in action is so great that tickets are hard to come by.

But it isn't only Manchester United fans who flock to Old Trafford. The standard of the ground is such that it regularly hosts high-profile games, most notably, the Champions League Final and Great Britain rugby league games.

Rock fans have also made use of the Reds's facilities, watching a number of high-profile acts at the ground.

But it's football that will forever be synonymous with the Reds famous ground - and with good reason.

The last decade has seen Manchester United under the shrewd leadership of Sir Alex Ferguson maintain a virtual stranglehold on the Premiership crown.

Manchester United has won the league no fewer than 18 times in their history. They are also Cup Kings too, winning the FA cup 11 times, the league cup 4 times, as well as winning the European Super Cup, European Cup Winner's Cup, and 3 times being crowned European Cup champions.

Manchester United has long become a name associated with success both on and off the pitch.

As club profits continue to grow, Manchester United have become one of the richest sports clubs on the planet.

With supporters club branches on every continent, it's hard to go any where in the world and not see somebody wearing the famous red shirt of Manchester United.

1st in division 1 championship!

4-0....

I bet next match after 4 - 0 Liv will just chill...

Or even 2 - 0, so that it make Man Utd looks not so bad (damage control?) and will maintain this form for much longer = more damage to Man Utd longer...

I also bet Brendford also didn't expect we so sucks until oopsie 4 - 0 us in first half...

Frankly say, I don’t mind we lose the game
But not until this extend
I been lowering my expectations but this is too much to bear.

Hope ETH are bold enough to drop underperform player. Otherwise he gonna follow RR footstep sooner o later.

If the manager dare to drop underperform star and replace with hunger youngsters, nobody will blame him. All arrow gonna point at the board for not backing him.

But right now, he Jz gonna bear all the blame due to his choosing starting 11. Nobody know what happen between the board n manager to keep playing under perform star. But it Jz suck max.

salam 4-0

Liverpool will hentam us double digit

Losing the game with this absurd performance

To make it worse, ETH tried players that got 3 managers sacked.

Added by silly board.

Gone Gone United

Next match player change should be below
Martinez > CDM
LB Malacia > Shaw
CB Varane pair with Bailly
LW Garnacho > Rashford

Wish to change others but our backup is equally shit

And the captain played!

Why maguire have to start even for England???
This fella is a fraud

RR already said to rebuild you need young players with hunger for success

You also need to realise not all asking for youth are based on playing a video game. Point it, manager should be able to recognise and play the best team available to him. IF there is no player that can be more useful than mctominay, then the whole academy is pretty shit. Not only should we see the player's experience and ability, but how adept he is at the requested style. Mctom is 100% not suitable, so are you saying noone else can be moulded better to eth style? If so, then yea, eth not to blame. Because cannot be eth is such a weakass manager who plays player like mctom JUST because of his status in the club right? Right?? But then again, maguire is still captain and NOTHING eth does shows that he is the strong hard handed type of manager that the club NEEDS. So, my initial point, I would believe eth is playing it safe not to offend the higher ups or the more senior players rather than doing everything he can to progress.

He still has to be given time, but at current point, he looks very unambitious and if this is what the club is looking for, then no point changing manager. In fact, should have just kept OGS.

RR had a good attitude that the club needs, but maybe not enough tactical ability. But instead, he was removed and now got an ETH that so far looks like the epitome of the board. Targets high profile expensive players that cannot get then blame it on the transfer activity.

i think at the same time oso fans need to manage expectations on signings

we're not the previous man utd who can attract world class talents right away (even Haaland and Bellingham also opted for Borussia when we want to sign them)

Stop living in the past and look for hidden gems or future talent that we can rely on for years .. at the same time accept some stop gaps signings while we rebuild for the core future players ... other than that is just daydreaming jer (don't be beggar cant be chooser and overpay)

every mistake/misstep will drag man utd to even lower tier

The only way I see it is to fully restructure the club. By saying so, relegate to division 1 or division 2. Let it sink there for few years like Leeds and maybe just maybe they come back alive like salty fish

We are way too big for that. We needed RR to run us like a German club. Now we have no direction, just letting things happen.

That's one of the issues i see with eth or the scouting team. Go for de jong nvm, but when cant get him, why no other options. Scouting team has produced zero realistic options? Or eth just dismissing all of them and only wants shiny expensive toys?

Kih3... Based on my observation, man uts players especially luka shaw , rashford , maguire play using his own understanding not how eth wanted...

RR too honest and brutal bout the club ... owner and board cant take it

No wonder 00s kids nowadays only support successful teams like Manchester City, Liverpool or Chelsea.

Most of us United fans nowadays are from older generations.

I nak bukak Facebook pun takut tau 🤣

newer generations can only support when win

older generations tend to support even when lose

my stereotype

I don't even dare to mention anything about football to my whatsapp group lol.. Plenty of MU supporters there, scared they will kill me haha

For once I 70% agree with this yet another underbite

We should have changed friends. I have a lot of Liverpool fans constantly mocking me 🤣

Even IF fdj comes, the players mentioned may not smart enough to look and pass to him

This post has been edited by and85rew: Aug 14 2022, 01:10 PM

Gary nev blaming the owners for the results... no mention of any players

if de jong come, eth can remove maguire, mcfred, rashford, bruno, shaw.. its time for donny to shine

that 3 midfield must be martinez, de jong ..with donny at 10. wide garnacho left , sancho right

tom heaton gk, dumfries at the right, malacia left, varane partner with baily ..

This post has been edited by orga_laut: Aug 14 2022, 01:20 PM

First of all, time to recognise we are a shitty team. Last season DDG and Ronaldo was OK, now even they infected by the virus.

Is it the fault of the owners, YES. Why? Isn’t it the fault of owners if your dogs bite people, misbehave and isn’t it the fault of owners if the employees don’t do their jobs?

Ok, the buck must stop somewhere. Time to wake up and smell the relegation roses. As a fan I don’t mind watching a different set of first eleven who are passionate to play. But not this entire batch. We don’t go to the same restaurant if they serve the same rotten food every time.

But there is no shame in admitting it is crap when it is crap. I don’t even want to talk about recruitment anymore.

I hope so..it is clear shaw/rashford/mctom/fred and bruno will not pass to vdb..and it may happen to fdj

Benching maguire already huge achievement to start for ETH

Why blame owners? They have done everything the fans wanted. Marquee signings every window, bringing back CR7 etc


Let’s swap with FSG as owners?

Noticed that the Captain will not do post match interview after defeat..

Anyone know when was the last time he did one?

Takde telo is it?

Eth is the one play the first 11 week in week out. So, it's unavoidable not to vent frustration on him. Now is kasi chance period. He is behaving like ole, say nice thing to keep the job but without result. Not even strong enough to drop maguire.

Everyone know owner is the problem but nothing can be done on them. The first 11 play like shit and its murtough problem? He is the bigger part of problem but eth share responsibility as well.

Replace maguire with varane/baily. Mcfred with lindeloft/martinez/Zidane/Gardner/some unknown. Shaw with malacia. Bruno with vdb/fred/eriksen. Are these names mentioned far worse and not worthy for even game time against mid table opponent?

If lose with new starting 11, no fans will vent on eth. Yesterday is a total failure. We did nothing on second half to even score 1. Its like bunch of players pass around trying to needle through a block of Brentford players. And kena counter.

Dropping mctom and only in bringing him back is a joke. Like rr, try drop mcfred, not working after some games, mcfred returned. These we already gone through. And repeating what rr did again hoping different outcome.

no need, fans dont wanna see his face. u see his face after he concedes those goals. no reaction one, jus stunned n sad. As captain you got to encourage your players, push them. this kind of captain will only mourn and diam diam after concede goals

I dont know, to me it looks like he want the armband for the status it brings.. without doing any of the responsibilities it demands..

+ blame others

I wonder who higher up are so blind to make the manager play those underperform star?

Maguire I understand la. Captain ma
Shaw? What?
Fred? What?
Mctominay? What?
Rashford can understand la. Previous golden boy.
Out of 5, at least 3 are droppable.
But they still start the game instead of other

VDB, garner, garnacho oso not starting
Even the sub oso late.
I really wonder if this is Man Utd new culture for late substitute?

https://www.espn.com/soccer/manchester-unit...rentford-defeat

Bullshit
Some of them not even in my starting 11
Let alone sub them at half time 🤣

RR are even worst treated by the board.
0player of his choice signed.
Not even backup.
Expect miracle.
Joker.

If I am the owner, I will sack all the board member in the club. Not even 1 left. But too bad. Football are not our owner interest. Money is.

Completely useless and speechless

last game? cant remember

read that there's only 1 post match interview per game and DDG requested to take this one

Yes. I do feel like the resident oldie already, been supporting since Ron Atkinson's time.

As much as I dislike the Glazers, this is more DoF and the players.
Neville no longer has any credibility to me. He's trying to play to the gallery to restore his standing among the fans after the Ole fiasco.

Try giving Simon Jordan a listen instead.

DDG requested to do a post match interview even though he was not scheduled for one.
DDG was one of the main factors we lost, if not the main, I must give him credit to requesting to come up and face the music. Our Captain on the other hand....wait for his Facebook post of "We go again".

Not scoring is one thing, but leaking goals is unacceptable

Don't bother
FB access very slow and sometimes hang. Because MU haters all come alive today in FB.

Partly true .

However, the problem now is from head to toe.

Look at the bright side. We are currently first.. from the bottom of the table. LOL.

4-0


feel like shit

It is time to introduce class of 2022 😅😅

Don't worry, you guys will do well against Man City and Liverpool

How's the 2nd half performance? Went to sleep after first half.

Superb, kept clean sheet.

Masuk just to put salt on the wound just show your character. Kudos for rival fan who show some respect by not doing that

Personally i dont think he is the main reason why we lost, the first goal was all on him no doubts, but we didnt score a single goal. Frank did his homework and ETH didnt, they pressed Eriksen when we tried to build up from the back. I was screaming for another CB when they scored the second goal, we dont have the correct players to play this system. If FDJ was at that Eriksen spot, i feel we wouldn't have conceded that second goal but we would probably still lose the game, pathetic performance from everyone including the manager.

Nice display pic. Maybe it will come true in 2026. Pray for it.

This post has been edited by kenlimfornication: Aug 14 2022, 04:11 PM

Just rumors.
But if it is true, he really gamble hard.

For me FDJ 99.99% won't come.
Dunno where does the Ten Hag confidence from.

But again it is just rumors, may be it is totally different stories.

Come or not, good luck to Ten Hag.

This post has been edited by KennRicky: Aug 14 2022, 05:40 PM

Dude if he doesnt come, you dont have to imagine the uproar ...

I feel he is still coming. We still need at least one attacking signing.

If pansy FDJ decide to come and he flops miserably(he will) - its all on Baldy

Now that you mentioned it, I realised there's literally 0 of my friends' kids support MU, including my super die-hard MU fan friends.. Must really hurt them seeing their own kids laughed at their team lol

With this, I expect last day extremely last minute deal.
Not necessary panic buy, but finally Ten Hag press the button after confirming FDJ won't come.

Most probably Gakpo.
If lucky, plus one more panic buy.

Tbh la, for me FDJ won't come.
Barca already able to register 5 out of 6 new players.
They are not desperate to sell FDJ anymore, they can sell other players to get the registration done for the last new signing.
And FDJ intention is always to stay.

Yet again it is just rumours.
No body know what really happened behind the scene.

But if u ask me, I would rather believe this.
Even though someone keep blaming the transfer team, they in fact already prepared 80M for FDJ, so there is 80M to buy other players since he doesn't wanna come.
Just that Ten Hag gamble hard on that 0.001% possibility, and on hold all other transfer.

It explained better.

Which is why need a DoF

We want to play modern football … but we also need modern structure

Both owners sucks. Gnev as usual shifting the blame to owner.. i guess to justify buddy ole was previously not at fault

Stil.got class of 2015 2016 obe at helm

Let’s move back to few seasons back during pandemic time, whole world were fully lockdown, EPL was forced to play behind close door without fans, the time where we played “well” and finished 3rd during 2019/20 where second half season we were playing closed door and 2nd in 2020/21 where we playing most of the season behind close door. These were the time we played well, come back and even thrashed Southampton, when lockdown was lifted and fans start entering stadium during 2021, the time where the performance starting to decline. The rest was history.

The players just can’t cope under the pressure and live fans, they looks lost whenever they are under pressure, always wondering “to play manager’s style or to play our own way”…..

CM/CDM should be address no doubt but yet only sign eriksen.

But im more disappointed wt players who really should step up but have not.. since last season dunno what happen to bruno. So invisible. Last game also wasteful and invisible

Then sancho.. nowhere near form wt dortmund. Looked confused dunno what to do

Rashford too of coz.. look so promising few year back but now falling more and more.

ETH need to revived this 3 player to hv any chance of staying and sign CM/CDM of coz

You are right when you say we don't have the players to play the system. Implementation mismatch.

News coming out that things are getting tense between ETH and the club hierachy. ETH feels let down by the transfers and now has to make decisions based on available budget.

Hoping eth to retire aje, let the club burn the whole season.

No manager in their sane mind want to take over the club and manage with this shithousery 🤣

P/s: eth need to take the blame for giving the armband to maguire. He don’t know how to organise and give direction. Mmg la disorganised the team 🤣

This post has been edited by damnself: Aug 14 2022, 08:08 PM

Most funny thing is Barcelona only able to draw on their first game and xavi are calling for more signing despite kounde still unable to register.

So nice to be a manager who having the board backup so heavily in a season even the squad he inherit consider top 4 team d.

But how naive for him to keep request for extra signing even kounde still unable to register.

Compare to Barcelona, our loss is expected but while Barcelona is not. Hope it continue to drag Barcelona down together with us.

We still talking about us is a big club? Won’t surprise me if we keep losing and relegated becoming the most talked thing in the next 20 years. Lol

I actually don't mind relegation if it means getting rid of the Glazers. I'd watch the games in the Championship.

Sancho fan's favourite mahhh..hyped by media..naive fans fell for it and ask why the club dont quickly sign him..kek...havent learn anything from the past failure like sanchez, di maria


Kesian to the welcome ETH mood...things turn so sour so fast..lel

True

Ahh sancho, Ole’s signing

The best performance i seen from him is against watford loss last season … with vdb partnering him for the intelligence run and pass

A long read of the history of Glazer's takeover.

It all started because of a racehorse.

Bold statement

Nah, Ten Hag not learning fast enough as I expected.
He shud stop thinking about reviving those 5~6 deadwood.

It is like we have 5~6 Dele Ali, no use even keep training.
They have totally lost their passion for football.

The more practical solution is to replace them one by one slowly within 2 seasons.

Hopefully the almost certain 3rd lost to pool will make his head even clearer.

I am familiar with the necessary pain of chemotherapy to address a deep rooted cancer.

Lingardino & Henderson starts for Forest
Doubt if Botak team can even win against them

https://bit.ly/3dbiX1Z

See if Henderson tangkap katak

Haha your generation, the dominating MU is it. The hypocrisy is real man.

Btw, very early discussion for pool match.
I can see the only way is to play 901, all 9 players on own half.
With that lost 1~2 goals already considered as win.

If Ten Hag decided to play "normally", prepare for another 6 ~ 8 goals lost.
Hope he get it right.

Err ... Is this real?
No way right, it must be photoshopped right?

Ya, surely Photoshoped.
Can see the 6 yard box line has disappeared under the leg of Brentford player.

Last year RR n Ole been criticised for parking the bus even before the game start. Looking for draw only.

If I am ETH, I rather go as usual n try get some fan faith. With current team, 9at own half doesn’t guarantee clean sheet though. I rather Either you win big or u lose all.

damn fergie lagi. haih sad. monday blues cuz of work. open football news open facebook all MU screwed up news. zzzz

Henderson saved a penalty - no tangkap katak

Man's just saved a penalty.

Botak shipped out wrong keeper

That what he is, the best Goalie for newly promoted and championship team..

Jezzielingz doing good over at forest too

even forest transfer activity was way more imppresive than MU
