I’m genuinely fucking fuming. Manchester United supporters are being taken for absolute fucking mugs. On Friday, Ten Hag said he only want players for the future to suit his needs. Arnautovic? 33 year old carthorse? Get in the fucking sea. Falcao, Ibra, Ighalo etc. Like Neville said, it’s a pattern and the Glazers are taking everyone for fools. I think you could see genuine full scale mass protests if this continues. What else can you do?

Ragnick was a snake oil salesman. I’ll take a progressive 3 time winner of the Dutch league over him.

If this isn’t a sign of how far we’ve fallen, I don’t know what is. Utterly embarrassing we’re bidding for this over the hill, never even world class donkey.

Henry Winter, Chief Football Writer at The Times: Glazers. Bored saying it. If leadership is not hands-on, things drift. Their obsession with money has changed focus at the club. There are many good people at United, hard-working and loyal staff, and your wonderful Foundation saves lives, but the Glazers have changed the culture. The balance needs to shift to football first. Marketing, merchandising, money is all very well, and helps pay the players’ wages, as well as the Glazer dividends, but the centre of the club has to be the dressing room not the marketing department. However warped the culture under the wretched Glazers, players still have to take individual responsibility. Too few did. Oliver Holt, Chief Sports Writer for The Mail on Sunday: They’re an easy target, I suppose, but the obvious answer here is the Glazers. Everything stems from the owners and it was them who persisted with Ed Woodward for as long as they did and presumably them who sanctioned the half-baked succession to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The disaster of 2021-22 also includes, as far as I’m concerned, the increasing disintegration of the infrastructure of the club. There are lots of promises being made about investing in the stadium but I’ll believe it when I see it. James Ducker, Northern Football Correspondent at The Daily Telegraph: Last season’s chaos felt like the culmination of years of mismanagement and the result was one big, toxic mess. The ultimate responsibility rests with the Glazer family and the former executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, who presided over an utterly dysfunctional football operation. The appointment of managers with wildly differing styles of play and approaches, combined with a shambolic recruitment set-up, was always going to be a recipe for disaster and last season was the straw that broke the camel’s back. The only upside of Ralf Rangnick’s calamitous six month interim reign is that the German had no qualms about exposing the scale of the problems. I found the entire Ole Gunnar Solskjaer experiment utterly bewildering, including the decision to extend his contract last summer, but in many ways his appointment underlined how abysmally the club has been run.

Barsa haven’t exactly got the £667mill they claim because they decided to leverage £150mill back into their own pockets. It’s like me lending you a tenner, asking for it back and claiming it as profit. They need to pull some more levers…..

They’re not gonna shag you mate.

Whatever happens, absolutely nobody looks good coming out of this, including United. Should have fucked them off weeks ago and moved on.

I’m not sure that would even be legal? Especially if they’ve actively sold him? It’s still money owing.

He really, really wouldn’t be. He absolutely deserves the salary back though, not arguing with that.

It’s been heavily documented he’s considering a pay cut to stay. Time will tell. Still, I’d rather not have any player that shows zero desire to move to a club.

I’m more embarrassed by his behaviour if I’m honest and don’t want him anywhere near United. Simping for a club that owe him millions, contemplating a wage cut and still fawning over them. He’s an embarrassment.

Watching a Nolan film these days is basically like experiencing Alzheimer’s. You have absolutely no idea what has gone on and nothing makes sense.

LoveFilm. Used to send you DVD’s in the post

@True Blueyou called him Philly didn’t you

Try 3 motherfucker.

Not sure how highly your youth teams are rated but that’s a hell of a result. Especially in your backyard. Really excited we might have a few lads finally breaking through as a group again.

It’s a travesty that you’ve met that bellend twice and yet I’m still to hold your penis in my hand.

It’s only pre season but the style of play is so much better to watch. Sancho, Rashford, Martial. It really should work. I’m hopeful but we’ll see. If we have the calming presence of De Jong in that midfield, I’ll start to feel hopeful. Until then, it’ll be another false dawn

I’m getting excited again. It will come back to haunt me.

He’s been class pre season tbf to him.

Membership officially renewed for Martial FC.

McFred again. Pain.
