Manchester United Season 2019 - 2020

[Sideswipe]

It's either the botak Dutchman or Gareth Southgate. All other 'big name' managers have rejected Man United.

Southgate would be interested but Utd fans don't want him.

 

[Bad New Brown]

EPL is most important, they must improve, they lost 14 times last season.

Unlikely Botak and his players are just there for a salary, a Top 4 in the EPL is also unreachable in the next season. The League Cup and the FA Cup are the only trophies that they can win, I don't think they can win the Europa League too.

i hope they are smarter and grow a pair in the transfer market.
In my opinion, their most urgent need is a DM. Ever since Roy keane left, they had not replaced him totally. Players come n go. Casemiro was the authentic one but he shone only one season. last season he faded faster than my youth. Not sure if he was asked to play out of position or he was asked to tone down after raking in too much red / yellow cards.
For me, central defender needs an addition yes, but please get in a young and proper DM.

For central defender - walk away from Everton's stupid demand for Branthwaite - he is not worth 70M. Either focus development of Kambwala or get another one. Perhaps swap Maguire with Branthwaite to lower the price but I doubt Maguire will want a move.

the last priority is a striker - honestly, 4-3-2-1 you havew Hojlund. If Hojlund not available, you do without or a false nine liek what Ten Hag did at times. We have alot of attacking midfielders / strikers. If you really have to, get a seasoned but cheap striker - we have good experience with old strikers - think Sheringham, Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Henrik Larsson. The aim is to sign for one / two season to provide foil for Hojlund.

really i will keep sancho....settle whatever difference and use him, I will also keep Greenwood. He was good with both feet. Fuck the feminazis....he was not charged, whatever means, he wasn't guilty. Flog out De Beek, McTominay. Anthony won't be able to move. So just keep him, no choice. I will also flog out Shaw - his injury record is longer than my cock hair.

Finally, its a pity that we cannot sign back David De Gea.

Venue:Old Trafford

Brennan Johnson gave Tottenham a third-minute lead
Phil McNulty
Chief football writer at Old Trafford

Tottenham produced a magnificent display to outclass 10-man Manchester United at Old Trafford and pile renewed pressure on manager Erik ten Hag.

Spurs, even without injured Son Heung-min, tore Manchester United apart as they set the platform for victory with a first-half masterclass, the only mystery being how they only had Brennan Johnson's third-minute goal to show for their overwhelming dominance.

Johnson's simple finish was created by Micky van de Ven's barnstorming run from his own half, and Spurs went on to create chance after chance without adding to their advantage - Timo Werner being the biggest culprit when he allowed United keeper Andre Onana to save when clean through.

United's cause was not helped when captain Bruno Fernandes was sent off three minutes before the break for a lunge at James Maddison – but Ten Hag's side were an overrun, indisciplined rabble well before they had a numerical disadvantage.
Spurs finally extended their lead two minutes after the interval when Dejan Kulusevski lifted a deft finish over Onana after a fine break by Johnson.

The hard-working Dominic Solanke got the goal his industry deserved and gave the scoreline a more realistic appearance 12 minutes from time, turning in Pape Matar Sarr's headed flick at a corner to spark a mass exodus from Old Trafford by United's supporters.

Postecoglou revels in show of power​

Premier League: Ange Postecoglou happy with 'outstanding' Spurs performance
In overwhelming Manchester United for a fourth successive win in all competitions,
Tottenham produced a complete performance - their finest since the heady early months of Ange Postecoglou's reign.
It was only two weeks ago that Spurs needed a late comeback to beat Coventry City in the Carabao Cup as the first serious questions were being asked about Postecoglou, but this thrilling display, and the manner in which a side they will regard as rivals were so comprehensively dismantled, provided a compelling answer.
Spurs were full of quality, running and power from the first whistle, the hard-to-please Postecoglou often reduced to holding his head in his hands in anguish, or throwing his hands in the air in frustration, as they carved United open with ease time and again only to somehow fail to build on Johnson's early goal.
The fear was clear, that Spurs' failure to cash in had left the door ajar for United. Postecoglou need not have worried.
Fernandes' red card aided their cause but they had United where they wanted them long before then, and once Kulusevski added a second the deal was sealed, with Solanke's third adding the final flourish.
Johnson's early strike was understandably greeted ecstatically by his father David, who started his career at Manchester United, and who watching from the directors’ box. It was another strong response from a player who was upset by recent heavy criticism from Spurs fans.
He scored for the fourth successive game and created Kulusevski's second, playing a key part as Spurs threatened to run riot.
United had rare moments in the second half but this was Spurs' day and they thoroughly deserved the standing ovation they received from their elated fans at the final whistle.

Ten Hag in turmoil once more​

Manchester United 0-3 Tottenham: Maddison foul 'never a red card' - Bruno Fernandes
Ten Hag has reached the stage at Manchester United where he is only ever one bad defeat away from a crisis. On that basis alone, this was a desperate day for the Dutchman.
Ten Hag might point towards the dismissal of Fernandes, which did not help - but United were being given a fearful going over by Spurs long before their captain went for lunging at Maddison after slipping on the sodden Old Trafford turf.
United's inferiority to Spurs was embarrassing. Only goalkeeper Onana emerged with any credit for two fine saves from Werner when the forward was clean through and another from Solanke, who had looked poised to rub further salt in the wounds with a fourth.
It was not simply the abject manner of United's effort as they dropped into the bottom half of the Premier League table that was so alarming. This was a tactically bankrupt and wildly indisciplined display.
Mason Mount summed up United's lack of control seconds after coming on in the aftermath of Fernandes' red card, needlessly clattering into the back of Rodrigo Bentancur to pick up a senseless yellow card. Lisandro Martinez was equally culpable for a foul on Maddison.
It will, of course, be Ten Hag who will come under scrutiny. He has no place to hide after this beating.
United show few signs of improving or any signs that they are better than last season.
These are difficult days for Ten Hag - days that will be testing the patience of the Old Trafford hierarchy who finally kept faith with him in the summer after a post-season review
