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.

Face the truth, based on how we are playing.
Based on the injury list.
Based on our squad.
The target shud be top 6 this season.

another failed transfer window
another poor pre season
another injury crisis
another rebuilding (again)

Damn ! No wonder LB is priority signing now

Let’s face it, we never a title contender for this season to begin with

Top 4 is another minimum requirement, and don’t get toy by City or another 7-0 thrashing by Pool are more than happy already

Don’t forget this season expect every match play 100 min, team like City will be good advantage given that their squad depth is enough to cover… Chelsea keep on piling up players will be useful in the later stage.

Varane as always an injury prone, now Shaw and Malacia on long term injuries, Martial can’t last 60 min, Casemiro suddenly drop form (maybe due to age), Antony is another time bomb if his case did happened, what else, Onana is good with national team and he is off for AFCON for at least 1.5 months, Eriksen is only good if playing with non pressing team, Sancho is just Sancho, Mount injury bothering him again…..Greenwood kena u turn kao kao by the board, Hojlund is unknown…

So expecting Bruno to play every games for 100 min, including international matches

then Bruno burnt out by mid-season, and got leg muscle issue lepas tu

Sky saying we already offered for Cucurela

I thought this cucu got tons of mistake when playing for Chelsea

Due to incompetent of management in bringing in new players, and our injury list, Ten Hag really need to re-evaluate the whole situation.

Loaning out of certain youngsters such as Hannibal, and Alvaro Fernandez need to be wait until last hours of transfer deadline.
If no new player is coming in, then he need to keep them.

The injury list will only become longer and longer due to every game has basically become 105 mins.

Yes, call it management fault, but he also need to adjust accordingly with the limited resources he has.

cucurela is coming

United's sickbay seems like interesting as more and more checking in...
haiz

first time baru 3 matches EPL and our injury list piling up so much... lol... the medical team issue? martial will soon join back the injury list anytime soon... basically now... we have lack of cover at LB and no.9.... what a stupid window we have... say is rebuilding but only afford to bought 3 first team players only, damn stingy pundek glazers... veratti is available for free and some no.9 from mid table teams also shud be available if we ask for it, just snatch any one...

Jones’ spirit live on 😅😅😅

i think we hire new guy for medical department rite? from Arsenal i think.. no wonder our injury suddenly become worse

reporting in!

What happen onana?

sancho to chelsea here we go?? really?

Ha, last time u so hype for him to come, now desperate want to see him leave?...topkek..pffffft

VDB is more and more unlikely to leave.
If unfortunately really not leaving, I low-key suggest Ten Hag put him as false 9. After sequence of Hojlund and Martial.

Rashford in no.9 is proven failed.
VDB in all midfield positions also proven failed.

Starting Rashford as no.9 and playing VDB so far is a disaster. Try some strange change rather than keep the same failed formula.

People tend to overhype all these youngsters larh, how many of the academy players did the club actually make a mistake with? Pogba wanted to leave so he doesnt count. Angel Gomes meh, Garner meh, Morrison trash, who else?

has been a very2 long time since our academy have world class player... lol... not like man city or chelsea academy, produced more world class players these past few years...

And yet fans hype certain ones larh like Garner Iqbal etc ...when it comes to the academy players the track record is not that bad with whatever decisions United have made so far.

ars mu 1130 sunday asadadasda

i have some hopes for rashy and greenwood previously, but after the januzaj case, i already learnt to manage my expectations towards our academy players... most of it just fade out easily... lol... macheda is also a good example

Keep for emergency only, not playing regular games.
Sustain one more or even half season for heavy injuries period

Like u said la, since won't be great player anyway.
Loan out for what, keep for emergency, and sell next season la.
Right?

Of cuz la, that is provided if no new senior players coming in.
If there is, then I have little opinion at all loan out or even sell all those academy players.

May be a little bit disappointed, rather than "hyped", it is more like "our hope that the academy players can live up the expectations is broken one more time".

One more point, it is quite important to develop home grown player to 1st team due to the registration of 25 players squad rules and regulations.

Do u know why we sign back Evans?
Due to sport season? Certainly no.
Due to budget? Big Part of it.
Players registration reason? Another Part of it.

I don't think much fans know that, for 25 man squad registeration, the maximum foreign players is 17 players.
Under 21s players can just registered under U21.

Our club currently have already have 15/16 foreign players, depends on Hojlund is being registered as U21 or in 1st team 25 man squad.
It is considered very packed with little flexibility.
With more homegrown player, it will be more flexible.

So it is not about the fans hyped about academy players, it is about failed to develop our academy players to 1st team, meaning we need to use even more money to buy homegrown players from other clubs.

That is exactly why homegrown player is so expensive even for a soso player.

Greenwood and Ganarcho, even though not considered world class.
Can be considered no issue to play in big clubs.

Greenwood downfall is not due to sport reason.

We are one of the best clubs that help academy players find a place if its not in our own team tho, we dont hold academy players to ransom.

2 days to go

Got… the last we got but board chose money > him

So yeah.. 🥲

Hope it is true.
Just no club wanna buy him, every club only dare to loan.
Accept the truth, get it done, and get a new midfielder.

last minutes here we go?

Not .. yet ..

Amrabat keeps waiting for United.

Haha. Adoilah. If like this lah confirm kena sailang by other clubs 🤣

so we jus waiting for VDB leave, then can cover for amrabat?

city chelsea jus concluded deal for palmer in 2 days? talk about effeciency liv going for gravenberch..

..gravenberch is 21 what a bargain for liverpool .. meanwhile maguire staying and murtuogh still $hit just sack him ..lousy dof

kudus to west ham, gravenberch to liverpool .. what an amazing transfer

Brighton loan Ansu Fati

Fffuuuuuu

Hes value will skyrocket again next season

Provided he doesnt suffer yet another career damaging ankle or knee injury

see how whu, brighton doing in transfers make you wonder how ours can be so bad haha

And we plan to loan amrabat... If not working, sure kena hentam for whole season... But amrabat is wad we need for now... His aggression will be working against strong possession based team.. as for striker, it seems eth fully satisfied

Looking at how other clubs conduct their transfers, it has become quite obvious that our club is painfully behind in this aspect.

We now are dollar and diming our way through the final hours, even loan deals on targets we wanted to make. Did we not raise enough cash with the club now citing FFP?

West Ham came back for Maguire. This time, the club turned the offer down.
West Ham has offered 30M for McTominay earlier in the window, club turned down the offer.

Amrabat is the name I am hoping we bring over. But the way it has been conducted, it's not been good. And really, one of the reasons I am hoping for a Qatari sale is so that the current current club management is thrown out and we get proper people put in.

all our transfer sounded so complicated.
Partly because Glazer do not inject a penny in at all, but it is also our player seems to be so cheap, that every sales do not generate ant significant fund

henderson deal suppose bring in some profit, but we still dont have enough to sign players..

Its just an excuse larh ...we dont really have FFP issue.

less than 1 day to go

Really? Power ni.

Meanwhile we no activity lol

Maguire and philips in england team.. power southgate haha

Reguilon most likely since MU want to loan half season

Palhinha to Bayern, Fulham I think will enter the race again for Amrabat

Fati to Brighton, Brighton covered 80% of his salary

Why wasn't loan half season only tf.. might as well get for squad depth

Pot 1: MANCHESTER CITY, Sevilla, Barcelona, Napoli, Bayern Munich, Paris St-Germain, Benfica, Feyenoord

Pot 2: Real Madrid, MANCHESTER UNITED, Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund, Atletico Madrid, RB Leipzig, Porto, ARSENAL

Pot 3: Shakhtar Donetsk, Salzburg, AC Milan, Braga, PSV Eindhoven, Lazio, Red Star Belgrade, FC Copenhagen

Pot 4: Young Boys, Real Sociedad, Galatasaray, CELTIC, NEWCASTLE UNITED, Union Berlin, Royal Antwerp, RC Lens

Sevilla, united, red star, young boys....

Group A
FC Bayern
Man Utd
FC Copenhagen
Galatasaray

Not bad. But I don’t think we can manage with this team 🤣

This post has been edited by damnself: Sep 1 2023, 01:03 AM

fulham come get mctominay or vdb la. u need a midfielder!

Tough group weih

I think if kena Sevilla those is tougher haha

wow pirlo same group with milan

Garnacho 17
Hoiland 11

Why Varane don’t want take number 4?

So who did we get? Did we get anyone?

seems like Ateltico gets easy group most of the time

Yes we loan someone who once trolled AWB during Europa semi final but he was not playing for almost 1 year

Easy money for Spurs now

Zero harm deal since it’s involve no loan fees to spurs

Well even if there is a need for loan fee, I don't think we have much choice here.
With both 1st choice & backup LB out for awhile, we still need the cover (especially with news that Alvaro Fernandez might be leaving).

Sad is it? This club have become so embarrassing. Please go Glazers. And people who dealt with signing. Absolute bonkers.

Cursed 4... already keep injured. Take liao direct retire follow previous 4 owner

amrabat tonight?

Sergio Reguilon from Spurs to United. Loan.
Here we go.

I'm actually angry at the club if we miss Amrabat, considering how much he's stuck his neck out for us.

joke of a management club

Always use FFP as an excuse… why so scare about FFP? Just fking break the FFP and get Amrabat 20M

UEFA won’t dare to ban us one… they want only money, x number of fine and UEFA will said thank you

Lazio explore the possible to sign Greenwood, now waiting Sarri ball for the final decision

we did amrabat dirty

And now Fulham submitted a bid too for him

Other club keep improve everything from players to management to scout to negotiation to sell to buy..even with manager like howie and de zerbie..they can play beautiful football..and while our manutd makin jatuh..hurmmm..

Hoping our new turkish goalkeeper can be a midfielder for us 🤣

Fingers crossed..apparently we submitted another bid & personal terms agreed. Up to Fiorentina now.

quite sure we get amrabat. late better than never

vdb , bailly, should be leaving tonight too. cukup cover amrabat salary

almost forgot we had number 11. Who had it after Giggs? I have no recollection.. Giggs had it for the longest time..

Greenwood

windows belum close?

6am tomorrow morning.

swap #4 with ex kapitan

mason greenwood

Martial?
