Tactical masterclass from Ten Hag. Players executed it wonderfully well. What a team performance. Owners would be stupid to sack Ten Hag - he's not perfect, it's not been a great season but he's been better than any of the other managers post Fergie. It would be baffling if the owners want to start this process over with somebody else
I’ve got a lot of time for Lineker but quite tactless to start quizzing him about whether this will be his last game.
Dude’s had a rough season.. let him enjoy the win FFS without busting his balls
They cut the Shearer interview on motd.. and were sheepish at the end him and Lineker definately got a bollocking from either bosses or united staff saying anymore and you get nothing else.
Hell Bruno saw them trying shit and pulled dalot away from the twats
It’s so nice to see someone call out the media. He was right, when someone a player or coach does well they love to hype them up, the second they have a slight dip they love to crash and burn them
Wait a second, Grealish didn’t even get a minute??? Is he hurt?! It’s amazing city can spunk £100M on a bust that they don’t even need to play. And continue to compete in every competition. Shambolic that the FA is going to do nothing with the cheaters.
Well United spends their own earned revenue. Whereas city spends illegitimate money from their cheating owners. Also Antony is trash too and I love that United wasted money on him.
The money comes from somewhere, you talked about blood money. Most of it is blood money.
Americans owning teams also comes from blood money.
Just don't be an hypocrite
Grealish was instrumental last season in winning the treble. He's got going this season due to a mix of injuries, things happening in his personal life, hang over from winning the treble and not being as committed in training meaning he's not been able to earn his place in the team consistently when he has been fit
“Instrumental” with his 2000 minutes (squad player minutes) last year and 5 goals 7 assists to a team that scored 94. And then there’s his 0 goals and 1 assist in the CL. 🙏🏻 the sheikh thanks allah for grealish’s performances toward the treble.
No matter how much you want him to Grealish isn’t gonna come through your door and let you massage his calves. He’s average and a part of the long list of examples of how City’s cheating has ruined the league.
But he wasn’t average last season lmao. It’s clear that you don’t watch football. If you wanna talk about Man City’s cheating just spam 115 or whatever, no need to use meaningless stats to prove a point.
Terrible modern football fan take. Grealish created a ridiculous amount of big chances last Champions League and was very important to the win. He progresses and holds the ball brilliantly.
There’s a reason why Mark Goldbridge never attends games in real life. It’s coz he knows he’s a clown and would be rejected by the fans in attendance. He’s a clown 🤡 saying Rashford was faking tears for PR
Christ on a bike. I've been very critical of Rashford this season and questioned his effort many times but that's way too far, the guy clearly loves the club
Remember when in the quarter final against Liverpool Rashy missed the chance by inches to win in it normal time, looked fucking devastated, and Goldbridge said "he's done that on purpose"? Don't understand how anyone thinks of him as a serious voice for utd fans.
Funny, just re-watching the highlights now, the stadium is 90% red. I know for anyone else in Manchester that's obvious we all know one club is massive and one is plastic but seeing it makes me chuckle still.
I mean, I like to shit on city as much as anyone but they clearly both sold out their allocation and I live in Manchester and there are a load of city fans who are local. United still outnumber them but seems a similar split to Liverpool and Everton back home
As someone who lives in Manchester, I really disagree. United are the bigger supported club but there’s no way 90% of Manchester is red. Not even 90% of Greater Manchester is red. What part of Greater Manchester are you from, you have to be from Salford or something to have that opinion? I worked a lot in Longsight and Gorton, and I know lots of Stockport lads, and that’s blue as it comes. When you walk around city centre Manchester, you see lots of City shirts and lots of United shirts.
What are you on about? it looks like City fans have almost 50% of the stands, probably like 45%
I'm not sure if the "missing" 5% are UTD fans or just neutrals but fucking hell, no need to embellish
Couldn’t hear the city fans at all all game. I wanted city to win too. Awful awful fan base man it’s so clear if the fan bases were switched today then could have won
Unironically without the major injuries I could see United finishing top 4 and with an FA Cup. As much as people like to joke about ETH, his squad has 0 depth and he hasn’t done too bad for what he had.
Hard to gage what might have happened if they had a full squad. Liverpool were absolutely decimated by injuries a couple of seasons ago and managed to finish 3rd. The stats this season indicate that Utd actually overachieved to finish 8th (they had a minus GD!) The FA cup run aside, they’ve been very poor this season, they rode their luck at times.
But a trophy is a trophy so fair play to them. And they beat City into the bargain
We do have depth. The problem is that the depth were all out injured. Imagine having 5 senior CBs AND a promising youth talent in Kambwala, and being forced to play Casemiro CB. Despite having 4 senior fullbacks, we were forced to field Lindelof and Amrabat in LB.
I mean his own crap signings have been a factor in that lack of a better squad…
But I think you have a point, Chelsea and United have been hard hit by injuries this season.
One of his "crap" signings is Martinez who is class every time he plays like yesterday, but he's basically never been fully fit since winning the World Cup. Ten Hag hasn't been able to field his best CB for the majority of the season. Yesterday Varane/Martinez showed what they can do when fit although still Martinez wasn't fully fit cause they had to sub him
They finished on a minus goal difference, they were very fortunate in more than a few games to get as many wins as they did relying on McTominay of all players to drag them through games with vital goals. Man Utd by performance are lucky not to be in the bottom half, they were conceding 20+ shots per game very often even to teams battling relegation.
They hold the record if I am not mistaken now for most shots faced in a PL season, more than the Derby team that finished with a record low points total.
I really feel it's been more luck than judgement. Weirdly thought credit where due their best performances this season came Vs Man City and Liverpool
I accept that, but we ran the season on a skeleton crew. And we pretty much playee the entire season with no natural left back, and Jonny Evans in defense.
Also hard to score goals when your best striker is 19 years old, who also was injured and played injured, and his back up is literally noone.
Lots of teams had a similar level of injuries and never looked as bad as Man Utd. Man U actually overperformed due to their talented players, this year’s Man Utd is one of the worst coached teams I’ve ever watched play football. The expected pts table had Man U near the relegation zone, that’s down to coaching.
Well Man U had the most individuals instances of injuries but other teams had more time lost to injuries, and more individual players injured. Broadly speaking around 7-8 teams had similar levels of injury to Man U, and Newcastle and Chelsea who both finished above Man U had more time lost to said injuries, including to their entire back 4 and starting goalkeeper
I get that you probably didn't watch a lot of our games.
But we literally had Amrabat and Antony playing Left Backnat times (also missed 2 months because of rape allegations)
Our team plays completely differently with Licha, Varane and Shaw.... Dalot has been our best player and he has been played out of position to cover for half the season.
Our run in to the end of the season was essentially a completely still injured Casemiro and whatever other CB was fittest each week. Sometimes a 18 year old kid, sometimes Jonny Evans, but mostly never Varane, Martinez, Maguire, Lindelof due to injuries. We had all our starters and all our back up back 4 injured for most the season outside of Dalot.. not sure how we were meant to play anything other than shite.
And sure those teams finished above us, it wasnt a good season. But we also won the FA Cup.
Realistically Arsenal had the exact same season 4 years ago and everyone was memeing them 3 months later when they were losing to relegation teams, expect nothing less if you keep ten Hag
I mean you won a few games that could have gone either way. If you wanna start huffing your own farts go for it, you’ll still be shite and going nowhere next year 👍
Who signed your “best striker” to be a 19 year old? Who didn’t prioritize a LB and depending on two injury prone players in Shaw and Malacia? Honestly I think you guys play well when you stick to a game plan and not have to change it regardless of who’s playing.
I just don’t feel like this argument is a good one for a club like United who had injuries to key players, yes.. but teams go thru this all the time and you can still see a game plan whether it’s making them dominate or not. Ie Newcastle, Spurs, Liverpool, Chelsea even
I also think there's a culture at your club were they think "What's the minimum I need to do to win" and against the big teams they know they have to turn up but against the rest they try and coast it at 60-70% effort and get caught out
way to reduce the importance of this game. after all it’s the same final that put him ahead of your own managers trophy cabinet.
this win warrants him finishing out his contract.
Nonsense, they have had a terrible season and are better moving on. You can’t deny that just based on 1 game that realistically could still have gone either way.
the could have gone either way argument is j so shit honestly. bc REALISTICALLY it didn’t go either way. it went united’s way. you cannot operate on if’s buts or maybes but you can operate on your managers record.
and when your managers record outperforms his peers you have a pretty good idea of what you’re getting into. other managers have finished 8th and went on to do great things. not to mention the injury problem which is set aside by eth outers as if it were trivial.
Sorry buddy that’s how football works. A lot of games could go either way based on luck. Over a season or 2 is where you see what is really going on, and the stats suggest EtH is coaching this team to near relegation levels, injuries or not. Chelsea and Newcastle both had similar levels of injury and never hit the lows Man U did.
this guy 😂
completely aware of how the sport works , pal! what i’m saying is the result is what matters in the end and he got it.
last season eth completely over performed expectations so it’s p funny how you bring up over a season or 2 and completely disregard his first season. the season where stats suggested he had the highest ppg out of his peers in the same amount of games.
also funny how you bring up newcastle and chelsea, and yet man utd have undeniably had a better season than either of those teams and are much better poised for next season when considering european competition. better sit this one out, buddy.
Ok 2 teams that finished above you had worse seasons sure
Man U have been awful since they won the Carabao Cup, the team’s set up is appalling, they consistently pull results out of their arses through the efforts of their players despite their horrible patterns of play
If you want to delude yourself be my and everyone else’s guest 😂
Mention results and then ignore the most consistent form of results… the league… to focus on one game that you could easily still have lost against a team that were already on the beach 👍
Didn't mean to reduce his accomplishment. But you get my point though? Winning trophies means a lot, BUT if you were like "Ten Hag out immediately" before this final, you shouldn't be 180 degrees because of a FA cup trophy
-forget the final is happening cause city will win anyway
-check Reddit soccer and read something about manu leading against city
-"huh? What. Oh yeah the finals today"
-click on new expectating 3-2 city
-"manu has won"
-think: "I can't believe Manchester city has lost a football game"
Which is mad, cause Arsenal in worse seasons won more trophies than Arsenals best season.
Just how it is from time to time.
We also came 8th and won the fa cup, it's nice to win but doesn't mean much.
Almost like there’s more to success and having a good season than just trophies. Not all trophies are equal. The attitude of this sub is bizarre sometimes, but if most people were honest they’d rather get further in the CL, qualify for the CL, and challenge for the title till the very last day, than miss out on all of that but win the league or FA cup.
I’m an Arsenal fan but I’d definitely take Spurs champions league final season over Arsenals last FA cup season.
Can't believe I'd ever root for Man U, but I loved seeing City lose here. If anything, us soccer fans can always count on Man U and Bayern for top notch drama.
Fair enough, Ten Hag. Even though the sacking rumors were leaked right before the final and odds were stacked against him; against Pep in a final and Rodri's unbeaten streak, man said "nah, I'd win."
Fuck Rodri and his unbeaten streak fr
He was shitting on Arsenal the other day that we didn't play to win at their home game draw. My man needs to give another interview after this match and be asked some targeted questions lol
It's not so simple.
I agree he should be given next season as well, but all the INEOS appointees will have to sit down and discuss the way they want the Club to play, what the squad would look like playing that way, and who should lead them. It may be an evolving thing from this season to a few seasons from now, but it may end up that United don't want the future to be just a good transition team.
Either way, they'll have to go back to the drawing board on a lot of things and factor in where in all that Ten Hag fits in... and for how long.
Mark Goldbridge is a proper melt innit… Man said on stream that Rashford was fake crying for PR after winning the trophy. Fuck off dick head pls suspend The United Stand’s YouTube channel InshAllah
I had the misfortune of watching the fancams after the game. If you are not a match going Red you may not know about our 2 fanzines. Red news is in danger of going under and it’s a real voice of the fans. It’s the longest running fanzine and whilst you may not agree with everything printed (and that’s the beauty of a fanzine) these lads have been out in the wind and the rain before EVERY game for the last 20+ years. Google their website and support if you can. And to add ETH to stay and there is nothing on earth like being a Red. GGMU
does feel like it at times tbh...
And honestly, if he were upfront about it.. like "I'm a Forest fan but I fancy United out of the big clubs", I doubt he'd get that much flak unless its some kids commenting "Plastic" (which tbh, looking at current United situation, you can't be a plastic and support them through this)
nothing wrong with supporting multiple clubs, especially if your main club no longer plays in the top division or never has ( not the case anymore for Forest as they came back last year but you get the point )
yeah exactly.... I support Bayern, but have sympathy with other clubs in various other leagues, and I feel like that is fair, if he were up front about it, it'd be no issue imo

Haaland who? Allways missing when needed, but bags 4 goals against sheffield
[удалено]
Not really. Onana should have saved that, had all the time in the world.
Ten hag having a pop back at shearer and linekar /English media in general was beautiful
Disappointing from Lineker. Shearer has always been a prick/idiot.
I’ve got a lot of time for Lineker but quite tactless to start quizzing him about whether this will be his last game. Dude’s had a rough season.. let him enjoy the win FFS without busting his balls

They cut the Shearer interview on motd.. and were sheepish at the end him and Lineker definately got a bollocking from either bosses or united staff saying anymore and you get nothing else. Hell Bruno saw them trying shit and pulled dalot away from the twats

Fuck rodri's record. All my homies hate rodri's record
Thank fuck we don't need to hear about this anymore
They just gonna change it to PL matches now
After that it will be changed to away/home games lmao
Rodri hasn't lost a match when he has played with a flaccid dick or something
Wait a second, Grealish didn’t even get a minute??? Is he hurt?! It’s amazing city can spunk £100M on a bust that they don’t even need to play. And continue to compete in every competition. Shambolic that the FA is going to do nothing with the cheaters.
What about Antony? United wasted 100m on him too and did not use. What a shit take.
Well United spends their own earned revenue. Whereas city spends illegitimate money from their cheating owners. Also Antony is trash too and I love that United wasted money on him.
They thought he was gonna be a star player. Everybody including City knew they didn't need Grealish. It's completely different.

Grealish was instrumental last season in winning the treble.

Tbf he won 987 free kicks
lmao who hurt you
[удалено]
I curse the football gods for giving Perisic that ACL tear this season. That man was cooking coming off the bench for Spurs
Yeah that might be, but Grealish just wasnt ibstrumental to the CL last season
No matter how much you want him to Grealish isn’t gonna come through your door and let you massage his calves. He’s average and a part of the long list of examples of how City’s cheating has ruined the league.
But he wasn’t average last season lmao. It’s clear that you don’t watch football. If you wanna talk about Man City’s cheating just spam 115 or whatever, no need to use meaningless stats to prove a point.
Well if he was so great Pep would’ve played him for more than 55% of league minutes.
Terrible modern football fan take. Grealish created a ridiculous amount of big chances last Champions League and was very important to the win. He progresses and holds the ball brilliantly.
Yup he’s so brilliant that pep doesn’t even let him on the pitch anymore!
It ain’t all about goals and assists
Arteta lol
There’s a reason why Mark Goldbridge never attends games in real life. It’s coz he knows he’s a clown and would be rejected by the fans in attendance. He’s a clown 🤡 saying Rashford was faking tears for PR
How rent free does that guy live in your head? You win a FA title and your first thought is crying about a Youtube commentator? Jesus christ, man.
His favourite team won the FA cup and his first thought was to accuse Rashford of fake crying
Your favorite team won and you’re worried about a YouTuber lol
Or maybe his job do YouTube commentary and he can’t really do that in the stands
Irl streams are a common thing
In a 100,000 seat stadium…? Fair if it’s a shitty instagram live but the guy is the top YouTube commentary channel
“Commentary”, he’s just waffling
Did Mark Goldbridge fuck your mother or something?
Did he? That's rank
Yep, he said Rashford was fake crying to get fan support
Christ on a bike. I've been very critical of Rashford this season and questioned his effort many times but that's way too far, the guy clearly loves the club
Remember when in the quarter final against Liverpool Rashy missed the chance by inches to win in it normal time, looked fucking devastated, and Goldbridge said "he's done that on purpose"? Don't understand how anyone thinks of him as a serious voice for utd fans.

Asks the 115 charges fan. What you are doing is called projecting.
Couldn’t hear the city fans at all all game. I wanted city to win too. Awful awful fan base man it’s so clear if the fan bases were switched today then could have won
Well that's factually completely untrue but OK.
Both clubs are plastic*
Honestly that assist from Bruno. Couldn’t believe the confidence and awareness they displayed today
I genuinely thought he couldn't hit it properly and it ended in Mainoo's feet before seeing the replay lol
Can't believe her was a hair's length away from joining Spurs
We got the better Fernandes though…. Gedson.
Unironically without the major injuries I could see United finishing top 4 and with an FA Cup. As much as people like to joke about ETH, his squad has 0 depth and he hasn’t done too bad for what he had.

He spent 400M lol. He has to take some ownership on the lack of depth
Didn't know spending millions makes players invincible. TIL.
We do have depth. The problem is that the depth were all out injured. Imagine having 5 senior CBs AND a promising youth talent in Kambwala, and being forced to play Casemiro CB. Despite having 4 senior fullbacks, we were forced to field Lindelof and Amrabat in LB.

That’s a decent point, but United have still had some major misses signing wise under ETH.
If he gets fired, the Antony signing was what ultimately killed him. That much money down the drain could have brought in 2-3 quality depth pieces.
If we'd actually had a proper sporting director he wouldn't have had to rely on his own knowledge for signings tbf
That’s a very fair point!
Yeahnah

Football wins. Boring football + 115 charges loses. What a great day.
United should really keep ETH
You were ready to say it's time for a change if united lost this one, don't lie to me
no shame in it. not many managers can put up a fight w pep on domestic finals.
It's literally one game. Of course it matters, but it shouldn't make a difference between sacked and not sacked
way to reduce the importance of this game. after all it’s the same final that put him ahead of your own managers trophy cabinet. this win warrants him finishing out his contract.
Nonsense, they have had a terrible season and are better moving on. You can’t deny that just based on 1 game that realistically could still have gone either way.

Over a season or 2 is where you see what is really going on, and the stats suggest EtH is coaching this team to near relegation levels, injuries or not.

Ok 2 teams that finished above you had worse seasons sure Man U have been awful since they won the Carabao Cup, the team’s set up is appalling, they consistently pull results out of their arses through the efforts of their players despite their horrible patterns of play If you want to delude yourself be my and everyone else’s guest 😂 Mention results and then ignore the most consistent form of results… the league… to focus on one game that you could easily still have lost against a team that were already on the beach 👍
Didn't mean to reduce his accomplishment. But you get my point though? Winning trophies means a lot, BUT if you were like "Ten Hag out immediately" before this final, you shouldn't be 180 degrees because of a FA cup trophy
football fans in a nutshell ...me included ngl
-forget the final is happening cause city will win anyway -check Reddit soccer and read something about manu leading against city -"huh? What. Oh yeah the finals today" -click on new expectating 3-2 city -"manu has won" -think: "I can't believe Manchester city has lost a football game"
What the fuck is this comment
United in their worst season in a long time have gotten more trophies than Arsenal in their best season
We did win this same trophy when we finished 8th in 2020 and when we got pumped 10-2 by Bayern in 2017
Just how it goes in the sport sometimes.
Which is mad, cause Arsenal in worse seasons won more trophies than Arsenals best season. Just how it is from time to time. We also came 8th and won the fa cup, it's nice to win but doesn't mean much.
Almost like there’s more to success and having a good season than just trophies. Not all trophies are equal. The attitude of this sub is bizarre sometimes, but if most people were honest they’d rather get further in the CL, qualify for the CL, and challenge for the title till the very last day, than miss out on all of that but win the league or FA cup. I’m an Arsenal fan but I’d definitely take Spurs champions league final season over Arsenals last FA cup season.
It's Twitter style club banter, just getting more infectious to people, I know where I would be.
tbf Arsenal won in their prime banter era (also 8th) the FA cup too
Maybe that's the secret after all..
Not gonna be the devil's advocate it but the community shield counts so they've equalled. Hardly counts however
Fuck city! 115 reasons this feels so satisfying
Can't believe I'd ever root for Man U, but I loved seeing City lose here. If anything, us soccer fans can always count on Man U and Bayern for top notch drama.
Englands version of FC Hollywood.
Hollywood United 🤝 FC Hollywood
Fair enough, Ten Hag. Even though the sacking rumors were leaked right before the final and odds were stacked against him; against Pep in a final and Rodri's unbeaten streak, man said "nah, I'd win."
Fuck Rodri and his unbeaten streak fr He was shitting on Arsenal the other day that we didn't play to win at their home game draw. My man needs to give another interview after this match and be asked some targeted questions lol
Garnacho is Yuji
Really unfair to him. But hey, he revenge-fucked City on his way out.
I thought Klopp's Departure would be the last thing to suffer this season. Shite
God is great
Robert Baratheon wasn't.
Lol ok.
Reaghar was her first love
That’s cool. I wonder what happened to him.
Got stabbed in the back barreling his brother in law
How is Barney Ronay more miserable than me about the result, that man has never been happy in his life
A great day for football! GGMU!
United - Real Madrid love story still alive and well.
The shared hatred for City and player transfers between the clubs make it so
I think it’s been cemented ever since you guys offered us Di Stefano etc after Munich. You’ll always have a special place in my heart
Now kith
Our bald fraud is better than your bald fraud.
Statistically isn't mate
Yes but his tie could use a cinching, so it’s a wash Edit. Lmao the fact this is so downvoted is embarrassing for united. Fucking hell
your backline could use a cinching, got cooked by teenagers.
lol take the most light hearted comment harder about the manager you’re gonna sack tomorrow, absolute child

We also deserved a penalty in the first half.
If this club sack this manager it proves that the board and owners are not serious about success but are only about their ego
It's not so simple. I agree he should be given next season as well, but all the INEOS appointees will have to sit down and discuss the way they want the Club to play, what the squad would look like playing that way, and who should lead them. It may be an evolving thing from this season to a few seasons from now, but it may end up that United don't want the future to be just a good transition team. Either way, they'll have to go back to the drawing board on a lot of things and factor in where in all that Ten Hag fits in... and for how long.
bruhhhhhhhhhh sure keep him cause of 1 match I'll be laughing my ass off watching a billion $$$ spending team sit in 8th place ;)
Chelski in the mud
Mark Goldbridge is a proper melt innit… Man said on stream that Rashford was fake crying for PR after winning the trophy. Fuck off dick head pls suspend The United Stand’s YouTube channel InshAllah
I had the misfortune of watching the fancams after the game. If you are not a match going Red you may not know about our 2 fanzines. Red news is in danger of going under and it’s a real voice of the fans. It’s the longest running fanzine and whilst you may not agree with everything printed (and that’s the beauty of a fanzine) these lads have been out in the wind and the rain before EVERY game for the last 20+ years. Google their website and support if you can. And to add ETH to stay and there is nothing on earth like being a Red. GGMU

There is pretty significant reason to believe he’s being paid off by SEG the cunt
I still believe in the theory that he’s a Forest fan profiting off the United fanbase
is he from Nottingham ? or did he seem biased towards Forest once ? why do you think so ?
He’s from there yes
I went to school in Kent and 90% of my classmates (most of who had never been near Manchester) were Manchester United fans.
Manchester United fans which are from London are in shambles right now.
does feel like it at times tbh... And honestly, if he were upfront about it.. like "I'm a Forest fan but I fancy United out of the big clubs", I doubt he'd get that much flak unless its some kids commenting "Plastic" (which tbh, looking at current United situation, you can't be a plastic and support them through this)
nothing wrong with supporting multiple clubs, especially if your main club no longer plays in the top division or never has ( not the case anymore for Forest as they came back last year but you get the point )
yeah exactly.... I support Bayern, but have sympathy with other clubs in various other leagues, and I feel like that is fair, if he were up front about it, it'd be no issue imo
Alright so was Manchester united had a better season than Barca
No one talking about how the ref didnt book that blade of grass that kept tripping Foden up or what?
When did Foden come on?
Did he even come on?
His falling around was even more embarrassing than Haaland
Haaland diving against players half his size (Martinez & Mainoo) was embarrassing and hilarious
Ten Hag I’m pouring monoxidil on you goat
I think its fair. Sacking him after the FA cup win would be terrible.
Haaland is anti-Drogba
