United look worse on paper going into this season. Great start to a new era.


I fear Casemiro not going will be a massive blow for us.

Guy seems like he is just done. The perfect example of why that is a terrible profile of player to buy.

His salary means we’ll probably have to settle for bringing back Amrabat or go for Sander Berge, instead of getting a real top level CM.

As said before, optimism of 3 weeks ago has quickly turned to dread. Basically need at least 2 of Rashford, Mount, Garnacho, Hojlund, Zirkzee, Sancho or Amad to have a “Salah-like season”, and nothing suggests any of them are capable of that.
 
Been trying to get through the 9 minute Solanke highlight vid all day me. He looks dead food ffs. Fossil football.

Hopefully Bergvall can feed him in some header opportunities and long balls

Think he’s decent enough, but doubt he’ll be a game changer. Should be a solid member of the squad, but 65m seems way to steep.

Closer to a Dominic Calvert-Lewin or Callum Wilson than a Harry Kane.
 
On my way back from my night shift and seeing loads of Man U mugs on the streets. It’s half 9 ffs.

Just googled and the community shield is apparently today. Imagine taking it seriously. Embarrassing

Right? Who cares about trophies ffs, that's not what the game is about.

At least they’re looking to strengthen their defense in the up coming weeks (with defenders Bayern no longer wants).

 
Watching Leeds v Portsmouf on Icelandic stream. The language is related to mine, but it's all gibberish.

The commercials were hilarious though
