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.

15 more hours to go 👍🏼
both team are on their best form.

We get to enjoy a PL game during CNY.
Hope some of you will have the opportunity to get more of the family watching United.

More importantly to the regulars and everyone here, Happy Chinese New Year! May new owners bring us more prosperity and a bigger transfer budget.

Happy chor2 or pissed off chor2? Jeng jeng jeng

Seems no one is talking about the rumors of Harry Kane to Man Utd. Perhaps, we are just tired of Gareth Bale's story, or Frank Ribery's

Harry Kane is currently 29 years old. The same age, when Robbie Van Persie joined our club - the last striker that we can rely on to score a goal, consistently.

When Wout Weghorst joins us on loan, I read the comment from EtH:


Aside from being a goalscorer, Kane has good defending stats, too, compared to other strikers.

Kane has nowhere to go if Spurs failed to qualify Champions League next season, at least, if he still wants to play in England. Early this season, City got Haaland, Liverpool with Nunez, and Arsenal with Jesus.

What about Chelsea? Compared to them, Man Utd in the present moment is in a better position where we are higher ranked in the Premier League, higher possibility of playing the Champions League next season, and also, Chelsea is the Spurs' London rival.

With the possibility of Spurs not playing Champions League, combined with an expiring contract in June 2024, Spurs has no choice but to win any trophy to convince Kane to renew the contract. If they fail to do that, they may resort to selling Kane, even for a discounted price.

The only question left is - does EtH want him?

I would like to think of it this way. We have had an exceptional run of results. We are firmly in the top 4, which is an incredible achievement with this squad at the start of the season expectations.

So even if we lose, celebrate that we have beaten City and are in the Top 4. Even better, it means Arsenal have a higher chance of winning the League ahead of City. We don't want City to win the League.

So whatever the result, we have a reason to be happy!

confident to get at least a point gogogo

Draw good result

Lost expected but don’t lost so much

Win is a bonus

Gotta humble the gunners!

With Mc Tom, I felt Maguire in CB

Our strength is for sure is defence without Casemiro the midfield will weaken

My prediction is that United going to play long ball, no short pass

Kane will be similar like Van Persie. Might be our missing puzzle to win the league next season, but will be a signing effective for 2 seasons, maximum 3

Haaland how many hatricks d. No cut his supply line, then goals galore

any livestream guys?

Any link?

https://360sportshd.live/360hd5-2/

DDG is playing with fire several times already

Rashford!!!

🤭🤭

Rashford on the form.of his life

bocor so fast .. can DDG / ETH just kick the goal kick high upfield or not ...zzz

AWB at his best again..stay idle..lol

i blame the goal kick tactic ...

this is how we conceded cheap goals during our 1st 2 games

2 consecutive error by AWB.
But out mid is non existence, can’t found options as McTom keep making himself unavailable for passes

Mctom is poor. Only follow where the ball go blindly. Don't even think ahead.

Super goal by Rashford. We give a really cheap goal away.

Everytime we build from back, hati berdebar

Nice

now we're behind

Eriksen don’t have a partner to play. Very bad mid

Weghorst not suited to the play… maybe yet.

Saka > rashford

Owai~

Lisandro!

Header like that also can

Great play by both team

garnacho has to come on for weghorst
Moving rashy to mid, not much option on the bench

McTom ooo McTom….

This post has been edited by areankim: Jan 23 2023, 01:55 AM

that was pathetic and pointless passing sequence for the free kick

you have a target man (sort of) upfront so utilise him

This post has been edited by tzxsean: Jan 23 2023, 01:57 AM

Weghorst is like meguire 2.0

What a game
Attack vs counter

If only we have Casemiro and martial

Consequences of keep defending...lol

Can't rely on counters forever

now only wan make atk sub lol

VAR did not even check the line

Super weird. Super super weird.
5 points lost….over 2 important matches

Antony and weghorst piss poor

come on its obvious we fail to push for the 2nd ball .. and no 3rd man available everytime we gets the ball.. they deserved to win this..

just move on

Meh. There goes our faint title hopes. Arsenal syok lo. Even fans didn't hope can challenge title this season.

Awb caught dreaming in 2 goals. Werghost while not bad, just doesn't seems to have the cutting edge.

Fred is worst. Bring him to have solid def. Always bocor. Against cp also like that

I think the first pass to the wide seems off

Cheh, title contender also need work so hard.. 3 seasons of gelling vs us half season gelling... Luckily stll got 19 match to go

Theyy purposely not show the replay with the VAR line

Well deserved lost. Their hunger to win is far stronger than us. If draw, I would say a point gained.

Should try new tactic with garnacho as starting 11. Not always impact sub.

Good match.

I think another season under ETH, Utd can challenge for the title.

This season, realistically, getting 3rd position can consider as overachieving given how disarray the team was in the beginning when compared to now.

On to the next match. We shall see if Arsenal are just pretenders for the next 18 matches

Spin master is a waste of space. Our right wing is cursed

One footed..only can cut in and shoot
Cross/dribble very poor
Add back pass king too

So fucking annoyed larh, ETH fully to be blamed for this result. Why did he not make changes earlier, only after conceding then bring on Garnacho for Varane.... so annoyed with that. That game was there for the taking, if he wanted to just go for a 2-2, bring on another CB, i just dont understand.

Why Weghorst was on the pitch for the whole game, god knows, why Eriksen was also on for that long, who knows. McTominay was so poor.

Looking for another Man city type of winning?

Ya. Nowadays I rather maguire sub in def lead than Fred. Useless Fred

This post has been edited by IpohGuyz: Jan 23 2023, 02:50 AM

so manu still considered title contender or not?

We dont play like champions (i dont believe Arsenal do as well) but until it is mathematically proven that we cant be in the race, we have an outside chance. Either way, we dont play like champs.

Haha no double win against the top 4 eh

Man City much harder than arsenal but United players lack of focus for full 90 minutes

With Casemiro I do think the result will be different

We miss dearly Dalot,Martial and Casemiro

Lol..why is martial in the list..when he plays..he is ineffetive..proven so many times

We never said we are... Lol... Arsenal pls dun collapse half way... I can laugh u guys forever... 😁

I dont think we are not hungry for win... But the fatigue taken up in second half... You can see rashy cant even do alot of sprints anymore... And shaw obviously tired, erikssen too...

Of course strategies were wrong too with Antony and werghorst in the game for far too long...

Since when did we even declare we are champion candidate.. not like some club 19 games only already macam yes.. lol...

Pls win the epl title... Otherwise u guys gonna continue to be banter club for longer time... Since already 20 years anyway 😁😁

Ole first full season martial boleh pakai, nt the recent martial... Anyway his too injury prone to consider as key player these days...

Narrow loss. Its okay. Not like we got smashed or anything, last minute winner. We will learn and move on. We are never title contenders this season, don't forget this season is a rebuild for us and Top 4 is a good achievement if we get it.

If there was any team I prefer to lose to it is Arsenal right now so I'm sending my congratulations to their fans. If Arsenal loses the PL title to City with the lead they have, you can expect a lot of banter going there.

I prefer city win the title. Arsenal fans auto jadi big headed bila menang. They are slightly below Liverpool fans 😂

Anyway i like the progress shown by the club. Cant wait for next season 😊

I think we are in right direction.
Hopefully the club selling will successful, and new owner will invest like Boehly.

Lots of praises toward AWB recently, but it is once again prove he is the best as 2nd choice.
Imagine if Antony doesn't help him in defending so much, his weaknesses will keep being exposed.

Eriksen, old issue. Not enough stamina for 90 mins.
But it is not his fault man.
Rmb he is with heart issue? He is already a fighter to keep playing as a sport athletc.
He is also the player with most assists in the team, we definitely need him, but with a regular sub who can replace him directly in 60th ~ 70th mins.

Fred? Both of them not even same playing style.
Again, the best choice we have now is Zidane.
I know his physical is not enough, but not even 5~10 mins each in 2 games in a week?
The importance is development.
I personally is quite little disappointed toward ETH in this part.

Squad depth issue, Martial keep injured, Sancho with phycological issue, what to do.
Tbh, compared to pool and Chelsea, we are already considered good.
Again, hopefully club selling successful, new owner invest.

If u ask me, fans of which club I dislike the most, it will be definitely Arsenal fans.
Their class is so low compared to the club itself.

Btw, it is 7 days before transfer windows closing.
The chance we are getting new player, is 0.01%.

I think ETH already accepted that, adjusted himself and starting to pick 1 youngster and develop regularly.
Omitting Elanga, as he is so disappointed this season.

The point is develop + regularly.
Fans choice is obviously Zidand and Pellistri.
His choice seems to be Mainoo, as he is more physical ready.

Yet, he is lacking wow performance so far, which Zidane already did in pre-season and Pellistri already did in Charlton match.
Hopefully ETH is right, as we really lack of no.10, and Mainoo is an AM.
Even though me myself prefer Zidand the most.

Arsenal is destine to be champion this season

1. Consistent
2. Squad depth
3. Less injury
4. Score a lot of half chance goals
5. Luck

18 matches, is still long way to go.

In 2011-2012 season, Utd were like 9 points ahead to City. But the team squandered the lead, until the last match, when Aguerooooo scored the winning goal.

If the Sengal fans think they already won, I'd savour every drip of their tears at the end of the season when they implode like they usually do such as the season when Leicester won the league, as that season the other clubs were in shit form except them, yet they still loss the plot.

The title is Arsenal's to lose and I wish them all the best this season. No one wanna see oil money winning the league again

The premier league need to restore the balance of power

Our title challenge hype lasted less than 2 weeks lol

This post has been edited by cedriclee: Jan 23 2023, 01:06 PM

Ah the legendary 2015/16 season where bottlers arsengal did what they always did... And hand the title to Leicester as well... Lol...

Wait 2/3 of the season done first... They have been handed very favourable schedule this season... If only they reschedule the man city arsenal match when we fought Cp... Then the sunday results maybe very different...

They still have 2 tough matches vs MC, and 3-4 others facing Liv, Chelsea, Newcastle

MC still have chances to close the gap

MC is very inconsistent this year especially their midfields, already got 3 samples to copy (Brentford , Southampton and MU), unless Pep able to twist thing around.

Liverpool and Chelsea currently facing injury problems, but I expect them to come back strong second half of the season

Newcastle is a tough team, well organised team with them playing as a team. Howie so far is better than Potter

tough luck. awb missing his man, then putting him onside later on. aih

Without casemiro, we kena bolos 3 goals. This is daily affair pre casemiro.

Arsenal still need fight City twice. Title race not over yet

Been too busy with work.. watch matches but no time to post here..

Noticed that United playing like a Jose team nowadays.. park the bus.. ball over the top, run from behind.. hit on the counter..
Hanging on 1-0 lead.. not proactively looking for the killing blow.. only reacted when opponents equalized..

Under Jose back then they called it cowardice football.. under ETH they call it progress.. same stuff different marketing..

Interceptions and successful presses is good.. similar like Ole first season..
Only one game showed control, dominate and dictate of the game so far imo.. against Spurs..

Signings.. 14 players out replaced with 7 last summer.. more than 1mil per week saved.. the manager said publicly the squad is full and good..
January window so far, one player out and one player in.. saved 456k per week.. Glazers must be happy..

The manager haven't said publicly the club not backing him.. so i take the rumors that the board dont back him as speculation..

Anyway looking forward to February 26, should be the day United 5 years trophyless run ended.. GGMU

Harry Kane to stay at Spurs

He will end up like shearer, won nothing despite scoring alot of goals every season 😅

He did very well nullifying martinelli already... Cannot everything also blame him lol... Midfield without a world class cdm reli alot of difference... Technical wise... This is why the non injured partey revitalize arsenal bolos ing midfield... Mctom is no where near there... And erikssen, susah... He is playing at his limit with his mechanical heart... 3 matches he also starting first 11

Lol half a season park the bus and u compare against jomo time... we have been playing counter attacking football almost all our life... how to change within 6 mths ? When we won cups with park the bus strategy... We also celebrated his achievement... But his park the bus strategy nt working subsequently make us ended up at no.10...

But anyhow... Plsss middle eastern billionaire come for us... Damn all the bizman money... Unless we get an owner like tedd boehly

I'm just saying it like how i see it and pointing out the double standards form the media and OT fans..

I do not know how to change the way team play within 6 months.. but Eddie Howe did it at Newcastle.. so it is not impossible as people alluded to..

Cowardice football, as long as end up with trophies, all is good.. Jose did it and won 2 cups.. that should be the benchmark..

Shearer won PL with Blackburn, and came close with Newcastle but didnt win much with them but its his boyhood club so it is what it is. Either way, we need to stop looking at these 30 year old attackers larh, time to go for younger STs.

We need an owner that makes this a passion project rather than treating it as a business. So i dont care where the owner is from.

As a personal opinion, I don't think it is completely accurate to say we are playing counter attacking football or even labelling it cowardice football. We are only as strong as our squad capabilities.

Start if the season, yes. The last 10 games minus the Arsenal game, I would prefer the word 'control'. We play a controlled game. We have control of the midfield nd the limiting of opposition chances before they materialise. We see less of our CBs making highlight reel tackles because there is no need to. We have a CDM in Casemiro who controls the flow and snuffs out chances early.

The Arsenal game was always going to be different. We are playing away from home. We are playing the most in form team in the League who are also the League leaders. We are playing without our most vital midfield player in Casemiro. And we lost only to a last minute goal. Playing open against Arsenal would be almost suicide with a midfield of McFred.

In half a season, I do see tactical progress towards a more controlled style play. And no, the Board has let the manager down and if we get Top 4, it is in spite of the Board and not because.

So for me.....

Progress : Yes. Tactical and team wise.
Manager : Big yes. ETH is exceeded my expectations at the half season mark.
Team : Still has holes in the squad to resolve. We need another midfielder badly and fullback cover.
Club Management : Still shit. Poor scouting, poor negotiation. Owners are crap. And yes club management has a big impact on a club, see Liverpool. Klopp is a World class manager and they are only in their position because club hasn't backed the manager and rejuvenated the midfield. Instead plonking 100m on Nunez and calling it a day.
