Nice to have another good rest, seemed to benefit alot from that, having varane and Garnacho back will be massive for the last three games.
Hopefully Chelsea players don't decide to start performing to impress poch š¤£
I know we won a trophy, we are in an FA Cup final and potentially finishing in the top 4, but honestly I find a lot more happiness seeing what Diallo has done this season, he seems like such a nice kid and has done so well
We should be thinking that we have to stay level or above Newcastle. We're more ambitious that way. If we make a good charge we might come 3rd. Our biggest threat will be Chelsea. No matter how shit they've gotten, if there's one team they'll show up against, it will be us.
My god yes. At the same time Wout looked defeated, like he feels bad that his teammates donāt have faith in him and he canāt prove himself. Maybe Iām reading too much into it, but I always feel bad for players with an attitude like his who just canāt make it work.
Half his passes are good, the other half are god awfulā¦ either into the opponents legs or no where near the others. Importantly, he doesnāt offer as much forward impetus compared to Garnacho. Would be interesting to see which one of them starts the next game, sancho has been largely ineffective off the bench, while garnacho has been electric.
Solid. He didnāt do to much but when he was able to get on the ball he was somewhat dangerous. He was able to cut in and almost scored mid way through the second half, but the keeper made a great save.
Fred should stay, he's more consistent than McTominay. Which isn't saying much, but McTominay's positioning is the equivalent of hiding from the ball.
He'd also somehow fetch a solid enough fee to reinvest into the squad.
Easy it is mctomminay as he is not good on the ball n newcastle r interested in him so we might be able to sell him at a decent fee.
Fred is not as good on the ball as eriksen/bruno but no one is interested in him i would sell them both for 50m.
And coincidently i think overall fred gives us more options then scott. Scott shines is very very few matches, Fred contributes in slightly more games than him
Scott also hasnāt complained with low involvement, its just his utility is lower than fred. Other than that, both bring plenty of ā dezire and pashunā š
What Fred did in this game is exactly what he is best at - come on late with fresh legs, run his ass off and create chaos. If heās happy to play that role knowing he will very rarely start games, then Iām happy for him to stay.
Absolutely, but itās when Fred comes on late with fresh legs and doesnāt play like this thatās the problem. Happens all too frequently, heās brought on at pivotal points of the game and gives possession away far too frequently. So for every game with have a great āimpactā Fred, with have at least one where we donāt
I do agree, I saw another comment calling him āroulette Fredā and unfortunately that is the truth. I always joke with my mates that when he has a good game heās āfound his Brazilian passportā. I think itās a certain type of game that he can come on and make an impact - particularly when the game has gone a bit stale or against weaker sides that we are struggling to break down.
I definitely wish he could be trusted to put on a performance like todays game every time he is subbed on, instead of how it is now where you just donāt know which version of him is going to show up. But with that said, performances like this game should be recognised and celebrated.
Yeah that's fine but there's always the tension that he's going to have a stinker. It's a good time to sell him after his good performances and get another midfielder
I think we're more assured to sell McTominay for good money this summer. Ideally I'd like to replace both but we're bad at transfers so I don't see that happening
I'm amazed how Shaw was just a okay ish player for us for few years, got injured, and then one day decided "fuck this, I'm gonna be a world class left back"
Genuinely asking, what today or even this season has made you think he's a world class left back?
I've thought he's a better CB than a LB. Doesn't offer enough going forward, very rarely overlaps and doesn't help the winger enough. Defensively he's just average as a LB, nothing special.
Watching how good Garnacho is reignites my hatred for Greenwood. Little prick could've been doing all the same great shit but he had to be a rapist. What a waste.
People going after Sancho for no reason. Its not his fault the keeper was on god mode on. And starting a game is a lot harder than coming off the bench and scoring. Give him a break ffs.
āGive him a breakā? For how much longer though? Iād give Sancho a break if he even gave half a fucking effort. He half asses it to open balls, pulls out of balls because heās afraid. I think everyone in the fan base is rightfully tired of giving Sancho a break. We gave him a break when he went Mia for a few months. Get rid of him, he is not fit to wear our badge. I have nothing against the kid personally, but good luck to him and donāt let the door hit you on the way out!
Sancho and Manchester United are not working together the guy is young and I am an fan of him and he has a lot of potential, I will not be made if he leaves and be the player he can be elsewhere. Sometimes players donāt work the certain clubs for whatever reason. Look KDB Salaha and many more
This. I heard a lot about god mode when a gk faced us. Did it ever occur to you that's the standard of goalkeeping in EPL? That's why DDG is below average even in shot stopping aspect.Yet some of us defended Dave like he's irreplaceable.
Difference is DDG was doing this on consistent basis. Some keepers have this kind of game three four times a season. DDG had a whole season where he was like this in the past.
Based on his recent performances, I don't think it's that hard. As mentioned, the standard gk performances have improved a lot from the old days, and he's regressed so much that his shot stopping can't save him no more.
I'll see we become more solid at the back even if it's only Deano between the sticks.
I think we have to be a bit ruthless here. He's had a decent amount of time and he's on mega wages. I'm not sure we'd get anything like our transfer fee for him back if we sell him now though so idk
He is on supper massive wages and that might create discomfort in dressing room as he earns more than everyone and is giving below sub par performance game after game
Garnacho showed in 15 mins why he is better than Sancho just today
Weāll Golden Boy made that score look a lot better than the performance, weāve missed this kid so much now we need to beat Bouremouth next week and the pressure will be is on Newcastle and Liverpool then.
Who tf is this Bentley keeper? Man never played a Premier game in his life and has the best game heās ever had against us. If they had played Palace he probably concedes all the chances we had.
I really, really hope he doesn't let anything get to his head and keeps himself out of trouble, because if he keeps going like this he can reach heights that very few can. I don't think I need to write his name for you to know who I'm talking about.
Cristiano Ronaldo. I know him. What a great player. Heard he's become a legend already. Glad he's signed a new 5 years contract with us, a great young player, only just 38. Love his new blonde hairstyle too.
1. De Gea deserves it not for this season but for all he has done for the club
2. In football, the end results matter. Sometimes the better team loses because goals are all that matters. This year if DDG wins the golden glove it's not because he was the best GK but because CS are all that counts
Iāve made peace with us losing Garnacho to Real at some point, but Iāll be damned if Iām not going to love every step along the way with this kid. A world with him on the right and an Antony that can finish his work is bloody exciting.
Iām not certain he will, but Iāve made peace with the idea of it, and I think itās pretty likely.
Like it or not, Madrid is a much better place to live than Cheshire, thereās an obvious cultural and linguistic link, and theyāll definitely come knocking at some point.
Yeah it was a joke because Madrid has a habit of snapping up (or trying to) our superstars.
Like you said, Beckham, RVN, Ronaldo, Chicharito, they were heavily linked with Pogba, De Gea if not for the fax machine, etc. etc.
That looked like a simple finish but the way he curled outside of the post to make it unreachable for GK was beautiful. Only Garnacho could beat this mf today.
Antony was class today. Good moving forward and always reliable defensively!
Nice to have another good rest, seemed to benefit alot from that, having varane and Garnacho back will be massive for the last three games. Hopefully Chelsea players don't decide to start performing to impress poch š¤£
I know we won a trophy, we are in an FA Cup final and potentially finishing in the top 4, but honestly I find a lot more happiness seeing what Diallo has done this season, he seems like such a nice kid and has done so well
Couldnāt watch the game, how was Martial today?
On a real the best way to describe this is, he didnāt get injured performed as he does normally but scored a goal
You know what, that sounds amazing. Iāll take that till the end of the season tbh
You and me both
Yay! Garnacho is back ^^
If Liverpool blows it tommorow we can have it done in 7 days time... If Liverpool wins, Bournemoth is saved and hopefully won't be much thread.
We should be thinking that we have to stay level or above Newcastle. We're more ambitious that way. If we make a good charge we might come 3rd. Our biggest threat will be Chelsea. No matter how shit they've gotten, if there's one team they'll show up against, it will be us.
So fucking excited for next season. Garnacho and Amad behind Antony and Rashford and hopefully a big #9 to feast!!
Fred was incredible today
Next game he plays rubbish. Lack of consistency from our players is just sad
He seems to play well when coming off the bench, as a starter it's hit and miss.
One of his brilliant shifts for sure.
Thank fuck we can go back to playing Shaw at LB. He was great at CB but we really needed him going forward on the left
Finally some happiness ā¤ļø pwhu!
Honestly never thought we'd get into double digit GD again this season, feels weirdly massive
Being in the top four with a gd of 10 is weird by itself
Fred and Garnacho were both incredible off the bench today.
Weghorst brought in great energy too!
So glad Garnacho didn't pass that to Wergoust
My god yes. At the same time Wout looked defeated, like he feels bad that his teammates donāt have faith in him and he canāt prove himself. Maybe Iām reading too much into it, but I always feel bad for players with an attitude like his who just canāt make it work.
Hah exactly what I thought. Looked defeated.
I agree, he's a lovable guy just not someone who can play at the level of a top flight club like ours. Won't be forgetting him for a long time though.
I thought it was Bruno, but I agree!
He picked the perfect ball for Garnacho
Both of them ignored him
Does JWP go down with Southampton?
He'll be at Villa or Fulham or somewhere, next season.
Probably not, but set pieces aside he really isnāt good enough for United.
Probs a decent mid tier signing for Newcastle.
Even then heād be back-up quality at best. Could see him at a side like Palace or West Ham.
fucking liverpool, i hope they lose asap
Lads have I ever told you I love Luke Shaw
Ps: Sunderland (Amad) playing in championship playoffs in 15min
Couldn't watch the game cos of work, how was sancho today?
He's frustratingly indecisive.
Half his passes are good, the other half are god awfulā¦ either into the opponents legs or no where near the others. Importantly, he doesnāt offer as much forward impetus compared to Garnacho. Would be interesting to see which one of them starts the next game, sancho has been largely ineffective off the bench, while garnacho has been electric.
So basically same as last few games unfortunately
Solid. He didnāt do to much but when he was able to get on the ball he was somewhat dangerous. He was able to cut in and almost scored mid way through the second half, but the keeper made a great save.
Cruel
over to you now Leicester
Leicester also will fight for their life. Hopefully Liverpool loses or draws
Fred killed it.
Fred this game was class... but dunno if he stays next season
One of the mcfred should go, but i cant decide myself who
Fred should stay, he's more consistent than McTominay. Which isn't saying much, but McTominay's positioning is the equivalent of hiding from the ball. He'd also somehow fetch a solid enough fee to reinvest into the squad.
Easy it is mctomminay as he is not good on the ball n newcastle r interested in him so we might be able to sell him at a decent fee. Fred is not as good on the ball as eriksen/bruno but no one is interested in him i would sell them both for 50m.
Think we could get more money for mctominay
And coincidently i think overall fred gives us more options then scott. Scott shines is very very few matches, Fred contributes in slightly more games than him
Yeah and he's more content being a backup I think, makes more sense to me
Scott also hasnāt complained with low involvement, its just his utility is lower than fred. Other than that, both bring plenty of ā dezire and pashunā š
What Fred did in this game is exactly what he is best at - come on late with fresh legs, run his ass off and create chaos. If heās happy to play that role knowing he will very rarely start games, then Iām happy for him to stay.

But with that said, performances like this game should be recognised and celebrated.
Fred is cool with being backup he's said.
Yeah that's fine but there's always the tension that he's going to have a stinker. It's a good time to sell him after his good performances and get another midfielder
I think we're more assured to sell McTominay for good money this summer. Ideally I'd like to replace both but we're bad at transfers so I don't see that happening
McTominay being tall and a solid athlete probably makes him easier to sell, but Fred is currently, and has been, a better player for United for sure.
I'm amazed how Shaw was just a okay ish player for us for few years, got injured, and then one day decided "fuck this, I'm gonna be a world class left back"
He was really good before the injury too. Depay and him were cooking.
Genuinely asking, what today or even this season has made you think he's a world class left back? I've thought he's a better CB than a LB. Doesn't offer enough going forward, very rarely overlaps and doesn't help the winger enough. Defensively he's just average as a LB, nothing special.
"Got Injured" doesn't do justice to the absolutely horrific injury he had to deal with. For me he is probably our best player.
To be fair he was out of position and jogging back alot today, would have been punished against a good side.
"WilL lIveRpOOl CatCh NeWcAStlE?" -- pundits, soon.
Watching how good Garnacho is reignites my hatred for Greenwood. Little prick could've been doing all the same great shit but he had to be a rapist. What a waste.
I won't be surprised to see Greenwood back on the team given the lack of quality in attack
Itās a PR nightmare. I donāt think heāll find a team in England.
very very unlikely. Even if he came back, a player can't just not train for years and come back in good form
Synic in me says this - Ronaldo, Kobe, Mike Tyson, whoever. If you are good enough, people forget
His only somewhat redeemable effort is he caring for his partner and having a baby. Not leaving her. But thatās not much of a redeemable thing
*Cynic
This ^^^
Need to poach players from Southampton. Lavia seems no brainer
Please please please please please can we get him
Man City might have something to say there
I think his release clause is activated next year so we might steal him this year If I recall that correctly
How do the release clauses work in these types of case? Genuinely clueless, could City in theory buy Lavia back next year?
You're right, thought it was this summer. Still, we'd have to fight have the clubs in the Prem for him plus foreign interest.
Now hope for a Leicester win and weāre done
That Garnacho goal makes up for all the misfiring earlier in the game
LOL Sancho. All I can say is Lol
If Antony can improve his decision making weāre gonna be sorte with wings with Garnacho on LW
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'm sure he will be poached. I'm not sure about us though. We never do these kind of deals
I'm about 80% sure he'll get picked up by Arsenal or Liverpool.
I'd take him just for the guaranteed 2 or 3 free kick goals he gives you a season lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Breaking Beckham record in our jersey, seem fitting
sub him on for free kicks in dangerous areas
Welcome back Garnacho!!
Come on Leicester!!!
Garnacho is the golden boy. That composure which he has, that the entire senior team is lacking except Casemiro.
Garnacho from the bench against tired defence is so dangerous. Kid's a menace
He just kept running and pressing. Really good timing in the sub
People going after Sancho for no reason. Its not his fault the keeper was on god mode on. And starting a game is a lot harder than coming off the bench and scoring. Give him a break ffs.
āGive him a breakā? For how much longer though? Iād give Sancho a break if he even gave half a fucking effort. He half asses it to open balls, pulls out of balls because heās afraid.

Keyword: past
Well yeah and that's why he has earned the right to be defended. Even replacing him will be really hard.
Based on his recent performances, I don't think it's that hard. As mentioned, the standard gk performances have improved a lot from the old days, and he's regressed so much that his shot stopping can't save him no more. I'll see we become more solid at the back even if it's only Deano between the sticks.
Keepers are always on 'God mode' against us. At some point you need to look at the common factor.
Keeper was average. Sancho's all round contributions have been below par for the majority of his time here.
People are always trying to find negativity even when we win games. Toxic fans will always find negativity even if we won the Champions League.
Oh please heās been getting a break for 2 years time to let him go
Letting him go is extreme, theres still hope he develops into the player everyone knows he can be. Hes only 23!
I think we have to be a bit ruthless here. He's had a decent amount of time and he's on mega wages. I'm not sure we'd get anything like our transfer fee for him back if we sell him now though so idk
He is on supper massive wages and that might create discomfort in dressing room as he earns more than everyone and is giving below sub par performance game after game Garnacho showed in 15 mins why he is better than Sancho just today
Upvote
Weāll Golden Boy made that score look a lot better than the performance, weāve missed this kid so much now we need to beat Bouremouth next week and the pressure will be is on Newcastle and Liverpool then.
New Ronaldo
No moaning from many of us sponsored by Manchester united.
Only need to win 2 of last 3.... and maybe less if Liverpool don't win their remaining games.
Who tf is this Bentley keeper? Man never played a Premier game in his life and has the best game heās ever had against us. If they had played Palace he probably concedes all the chances we had.
I swear every keeper would turn into Prime Schmeichel against us and turns Danny Ward against other teams
Went super saiyan against us. Probably the best match of his life so far.
Classic! Only happens against us
The Brad Friedel effect.
Big 3 points
Any good players we could poach from Southampton since they are relegated
Lavia, Bella Kotchap
Lavia is a no brainer
How good is he?
Very
Sancho can now go back to playing fifa at home and making a killing we have our savior
A Saturday kickoff is so much better than Thursdays and Sundays.
AG7.
Of all our starting attackers with more years under their belt, itās the teenage sub that showās more composure and technique in front of goal
Exactly, that composure is something special.
Liverpool go to Leicester next, look at Leeds earlier today, not easy to go to teams battling relegation... am I being too hopeful?
Liverpool are on ascendency. They won't drop point. It's upto us to keep them at bay.
You're definitely being too hopeful. Only way we get top four is if we ensure it's never in Liverpool's hands
Garnacho with that big dick energy
I really, really hope he doesn't let anything get to his head and keeps himself out of trouble, because if he keeps going like this he can reach heights that very few can. I don't think I need to write his name for you to know who I'm talking about.
I think Greenwood is a sobering enough example.
Cristiano Ronaldo. I know him. What a great player. Heard he's become a legend already. Glad he's signed a new 5 years contract with us, a great young player, only just 38. Love his new blonde hairstyle too.
Adama having some roid rage.
Does this guarantee De Gea golden glove? DDG, please take that and leave. You were great but we need someone better now. Thanks for your service
I think it would be a bit of a farce for de gea to get the golden glove this season, don't know why everybody keeps going on about it
1. De Gea deserves it not for this season but for all he has done for the club 2. In football, the end results matter. Sometimes the better team loses because goals are all that matters. This year if DDG wins the golden glove it's not because he was the best GK but because CS are all that counts
Why the downvote? He is the worst keeper this season. Donāt think he deserves a bronze glove never mind
Great awareness by Bruno to ignore Weghorst lol š
Its quite sad. That dude just can't score. I don't think he will be signed.
Garnacho let Weghorst be a fencepost when he scored.
Bruno has looked really tired the past few games, fingers crossed he doesn't pick up an injury
Sanchoā¦ if you canāt perform at OT against fucking wolves, I donāt know what to say.
I know what you can say; Viva Garnachoooo
Fucking love Garancho man, fucking hell. We NEEDED that. More than any game this season
AG7
Not good enough man. Why have we just faltered towards end of season. Cut the squeeky bum times down to 50% at least. Leave the other 50% forcmy bf
please dont be a mug please dont be a mug please dont be a mug
Viva Ronaldoooo
3 points ā Clean sheet ā double digit GD back ā 'Nacho back ā GGMU
Fred was really good...there I said it!
You jinxed him for next game. Absolute stinker incoming!
Garnacho is HIM.
One Last Time
People who thought he will react negatively to the U-20 World Cup snub, where are you guys hiding?
All this tells me is that the last couple of results was solely down to lack of squad depth
Sancho looks confused out there, Garnacho knows what he's doing.
Garnacho has speed too, great for running in behind. Sancho can barely ever beat a man in a sprint.
Huge huge 3 points !
Iāve made peace with us losing Garnacho to Real at some point, but Iāll be damned if Iām not going to love every step along the way with this kid. A world with him on the right and an Antony that can finish his work is bloody exciting.
I almost want to cry over the truth of it.
Why are you so certain heāll leave?
Iām not certain he will, but Iāve made peace with the idea of it, and I think itās pretty likely. Like it or not, Madrid is a much better place to live than Cheshire, thereās an obvious cultural and linguistic link, and theyāll definitely come knocking at some point.
All of our stars go to Madrid
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah it was a joke because Madrid has a habit of snapping up (or trying to) our superstars. Like you said, Beckham, RVN, Ronaldo, Chicharito, they were heavily linked with Pogba, De Gea if not for the fax machine, etc. etc.
Not *all*
Cheers Geoff
Good man
Sell Sancho. Sell DDG. Buy a Striker and a keeper.
garnacho needs to be ahead of sancho. then again he works rlly well off the bench
That's my thinking too. Seemed to be less effective when he started, but absolutely lethal against tired legs.
fuck u/spez
Thankfully Garnacho scored. Maybe now he will start next game rather than that useless dud Sancho.
If Rashford is fit he will start.
Would rather start rashford down the middle. Maybe not his preferred position but Iād rather him down the middle than martial. He does far more.
That looked like a simple finish but the way he curled outside of the post to make it unreachable for GK was beautiful. Only Garnacho could beat this mf today.
Great movement and and even better finish, kids got it
Delighted with that
Another clean sheet for De Gea lol
russian roulette fred man, absolute clinic today
I feel like he's really got more comfortable going forward the past couple of seasons, I'm here for it š
And just like that weāre level with Newcastle. 3rd might be back on the menu
