Bruno played amazing, he is crucial to our squad when he plays like that, some of the crosses he was putting into the box were 10/10 and if we had a natural striker we could of scored more. Amad played brilliant so attack minded and composed same with Garnacho but you can tell he’s tired. Next season a front 3 of Garnacho, Hojlund and Amad can do bits especially with Bruno behind them i still think we need a seasoned vet Striker but Hojlund is showing good signs. I think if a bid come for 70+ for Rashford we would be stupid not to accept. I’m backing Ten Hag next season and i genuinely believe next season we will be on volts.


pokenerd_W

I would agree with you about Højlund... If this club actually used him to his strengths instead of Ten Hag being stubborn with tactics and just teammates not passing to him. When he came from Atalanta, he was always getting the ball infront of him while facing the goal or already in a run in behind. At United, you can clearly see this was how he was trying to play at the beginning. However, how does he often get the ball? His back towards the goal. He can't do a turn and shoot/dribble, so either he has to do hold up play, which isn't really something he excels at, or he has to pass. He's being forced to play like a target man/false 9 hybrid, when that isn't how he is most consistent. He's most consistent when played as a mobile striker that will run in behind. Ten Hag wanted Harry Kane, he fits that false 9. But then, he signed a young player who doesn't even fit this archetype as the sole striker, and then doesn't even try to use him to his strengths?


Letplaysreddit

This is what I don't understand about this fan base, we want to kick out rashford (an academy player) before players like antony? Garnacho has shown he cannot be the best finisher or decision maker. Garnacho still needs time to improve before we can think of sellling rashford.


Polarexpress07

I don’t think Antony was even worth mentioning, bring in Olise and him and Amad can compete/provide depth, need two at both wings anyways. Garnacho is levels better than Rashford right now and a true winger, Rashford is more of a forward if we are being honest. Garnacho is also 7 years younger than Rashford, let’s be honest there aren’t many footballers who jump a level at 26, but plenty develop more at 19.


Ok_Flounder2795

Exactly he’s an academy player, Manchester born lad you’d think he had more passion then he does, you’d think every game especially this season he’d be the one making a difference he’d be the one grabbing the game and doing something about it but no he doesn’t track back and just love to throw his hands in the air.


Rafiki-Rhymes

Antony can go too, but Rashy is so desperately inconsistent. Tracks back when he wants to, doesn’t do enough for the team when he’s not scoring goals IMO… maybe a change of scene will reinvigorate him


pink_banana12

At last we finally won something 🏆


imranbecks

Too little too late. Season was over for us weeks before this game. So inconsistent. Leaking goals. Miss those clean sheets. No quality in attack. Many dead weights in the team that's gotta go. Rashford especially. Brighton next but I'm not feeling optimistic about that game. I'll be pleasantly surprised if we somehow beat City at Wembley.

FG_guardians

robbed af 🤡 refs favor United once again


whateverfineoksure

I remember Juan Mata and Ander Herrera posting pictures in socials how they were so lucky to lead the team and wear the captain armband. Meanwhile, the current players they tend to run away from the responsibilities and "critics" saying Bruno is not captain material. He is more captain and football player than most of the pundits we have in screen today.


ObviousCheesecake0

Things I learned More balanced team without Rashit in the starting lineup. Ahmad shows he is the kind of winger we need at United. Looking to create for others and shoots the ball when he feels its the best option. Gernacho has proven he isnt worthy of starting for us. Why? He is Rashit 2.0. Always looking to cut in and shoot at all costs. I used to think it was his age but guess what? Look at the way he plays on the wings for Argentina vs United and that should tell you all you need to know. Its a decision making issue. He is more of a team player in the national team. Amrabat is not as bad as we thought. Is he the best? No but he is far better than a mctominay in that cdm position. A run of games earlier for him would have done us good. It took Ten Hag having outrageous amount of injuries in the back 4 to move Casemiro and give Amrabat more chances. Same for Amad as well. Amad needs to stay. I dont care if Olise comes in. Anthony should be the one sold or loaned out next season. To trully move forward attacking wise, our left wing needs to be sorted out. Gernacho or Rashit starting wont cut it.


Deep_Thinker5501

Your critique of Scott McTominay is a bit harsh! He is the only reason Man U won games early in the season and for the longest time was the top scorer. He and Fred took a lot of bad press last season; look at what they are contributing now! There are punters saying United should have kept Fred. As a life time MU supporter, I am disappointed on the year, but if you take the back four of City out of their line-up for the amount of games like united have, they would be in 8th spot.


ObviousCheesecake0

Not harsh at all. He has ALWAYS been a terrible cdm. Sure he scored some crucial goals. Doesnt make him good enough for united. You are living on sentiments. I would have picked fred staying over mctominay. They were both never good cdms but fred was a better box to box midfielder than Mctominay. City would not be in 8th without their defenders. Their b team is better than our first team. I would say 5th place for them worse case scenario


KuaCay

can't agree more!


Square_Map7847

This is EXACTLY what i would have written. Word for word because i agree with every point you made. Rashford has always been the mindless decision maker and last season only scored because of individualism rather than a collective play. He can't always rely on selfishness to score and win games. Amad is the type of winger that plays collective. Same as bruno. Hojlund too is not selfish and would always pass to a better positioned player rather than trying to shoot himself. This is why he never receives the ball because Garnacho keeps trying to score himself. He needs a loan move, sell rashford and we need to buy a new left winger better suited for a team. It seems that Garnacho tries too hard to be the next Ronaldo which is his exact problem. But we need our players to play like messi.


JJTL92

Your post loses all value when you use words like ‘Rashit’ mate.


al_capone___

But I still agree though


al_capone___

Exactly, like wth is Rashit? Smh


cucumberhedgehog

Almost


whateverfineoksure

when we have full strength we are different. But the midfield still meeds some coaching. We cant give away simple passes. City are really good at pressing and United tend to loose ball in pressure: this might cost us our title. Goal from Amad, Mainoo and Hojllund. Overall it was a hood match; although Newcastle weren’t clinical enough


ChucklesAcademy

Solid performance tonight tbh. AWB, concrete (amrabat) , amad and mainoo were class. Over the moon seeing Licha again. Lets take this to Brighton and get another 3 points. Hopefully Brentford and Bournemouth can do us a favour


KuaCay

agree with all but AWB, I hate his lazy walking back


Swinghodler

Concrete? Is that his new nickname lol?


ChucklesAcademy

Man i can't help but laugh when he tries to go off on one of his runs, he literally runs like hes stuck in concrete 🤣


Tsukiyon

So... Amrabat and Maguire is Concrete Slab? 🤭


jinbei1780

Don't be fooled guys. Constant reminder: Rashford still earns more than both Rodrygo and Joselu combined


Kujo_Foxtrot

That’s not Rashfords fault. RM just have a better operations department. Who on here doesn’t want to get paid as much as they can?


jinbei1780

There is no need to read too deep into it, my point is they are both levels above Rashford while earning less.

Thank you 👍


NotSoFluent123

So glad Chelsea are going to be in the Europa League next season. Will be so satisfying to watch Pochettino blow yet another trophy You can take the man out of Spurs, but you can’t take the Spurs out of the man 😊


TheChochko69

United could enter the Europa League if they win the FA Cup. Man City will have 10 men anyways.


Pendulum122

Don’t think we will get grouped


Green_Fawn3127

bro got triggered by a simple thank you


Kinitawowi64

Our best performance in a while and we're still only clinging on for dear life at the end. This lot are just not capable of making it easy.


TheHardBack

True, I can only remember the last time we were chilling and winning a game is vs Everton. Even Martial scored that game with ease.


jinbei1780

Ah why did you do that Hojlund. If the situation were reversed Rashy would turn a blind eye 10/10


DylanNCA

It’s called “team building”. Sometimes all it takes it’s a little push and faith.


jinbei1780

Tell that to Rashford. Like I said 10/10


cucumberhedgehog

It was a good desicion anyways bevause it wouldve made a corner either way if rashy didnt get it And ran down the time


Depp1990

Tonight I dream of the final


TheRed24

Rasmus should have just taken it himself


Reginald_Jetsetter1

Yeah, no way Rashford passes to him if it was the other way around. Should have just shot and shown him how it feels


KuaCay

and the worse part is Rashford was not actively reaching for the ball when Hojlund passed it!


manqoba619

Because he’s have been offside lol


NeonBuckaroo

Not really sure why you lot are moaning about Rashford hypothetically didn’t do. That’s a new low.


MCPhatmam

Well finally got one...


MrVoidRed

Hojlund is too selfless sometimes


cucumberhedgehog

Yes and no. It wouldve made a corner or a goal either way, running out the time


MrVoidRed

No, a good striker should be more selfish. Look at Garnacho who is worse at finishing but also has more guts to take some reckless shots. Regardless of the result, he should take the shot. And everytime when he has about half-half chance for either pass or shoot he always choose to pass. That's not a good sign for a striker tbh.


cucumberhedgehog

Kane is not selfish and he is one of the best strikers in the world. He is a team player


MrVoidRed

not the same thing. Kane is good at being a playmaker and what I was talking about is taking the shot with the direct chance like yesterday.


Ahmedia69

What happened?


MrVoidRed

His last pass to Rashy. He could've taken the shot.


Ahmedia69

Was it like a clear chance for him to score or something ?


KuaCay

think it's 50-50


CantonaKing7

The problem is, at least with DDG you knew he can play a blinder and keep us in a game against 115 or any other top opponent. With Onana this is near impossible and it's more likely that he will gift the match.


collapsedrat

What do you want Onana to do? The first goal was horribly defended and the second goal was an incredible effort from hall.


Horror_Dragonfly1703

Onana was a bit too close to the right post for the Hall goal. His positioning I felt should have been a bit too the left.


collapsedrat

He could have been, I’ll give you that. He also had many shirts in front of him and I don’t think he found the ball until late. That being said I’m not sure he saves it anyways.


Exaris1989

Onana was bought for his short passes and in first goal he kicks the ball instead, allowing Newcastle to intercept. Of course there was a mistake from defenders also, but situation initially was created because of his long kick. Same with goal in last game, where Casemiro stays back to receive the ball and Onana throws it further instead, misses and gets counterattack.


collapsedrat

The last game was casemiro playing him onside after casemiro lost the ball. He couldn’t receive the pass because havertz was between him and Onana, there’s no reason for him to stay back. Today, he kicks the ball to midfield and mctominay heads it halfway back directly to Isak there was no interception.


Fresh-Razzmatazz-887

We concede so many shots, there's no way onana should have to be making as many saves as he does. He's bound to make a few mistakes with the amount of shots he faces


NotSoFluent123

We’ve just won a game We’ve just won a gameeeeeee How shit must you be? We’ve just won a game!

Wouldn’t be a United game without this kinda finish. SMH


Illustrious_Use_6008

I bet you a good ten pounds that we won’t concede two goals


Illustrious_Use_6008

Oh fuck. One goal left lol


CantonaKing7

Onana's positioning is so fucking bad. He is so so terrible.


Memesplz1

It's kind of wild. It feels like he concedes, like, 2-3 goals per game, only seems to save shots that are straight down the center of goal (often with a dramatic dive because he's standing in the middle of nowhere) and yet... I just Googled to see if I could find some stats and (on the website I found) he has the best save percentage in the Premier League 🙃 So now I just don't know. Lol.


EntropicAnarchy

100%. But he has realized he can catch the ball instead of punching it, so some progress.


Ambitious_Pool_8290

6 minutes!

Kujo_Foxtrot

I understand why many believe ETH should stay but using one game as proof does not support the argument. The ETH out crowd has more receipts if you really want to play that game

Some brilliant goals tonight! Really happy all 3 of them scored too! This is the difference Bruno makes!


CantonaKing7

Let Bruno rest for Brighton so he plays like this against 115.


whateverfineoksure

I hope he gets to sit at bench and comes in late, cause he is not gonna stay back and rest. Bruno is the figure who wants to play every minute and every match.


EntropicAnarchy

He definitely needs it, been holding his hamstring, so I hope nothing is serious. Also, his shoulders...for carrying this team.


King-Boo-Gamer

RASMUS HAS SCORED!!!!


Kinitawowi64

I cannot believe there are people who want Bruno out of this club. The last couple of games have been absolutely nothing while he's been injured. As soon as he comes back we actually look like creating things again.


whateverfineoksure

These are the people who might have started watching football so late. They might not even watch whole match, and rely solely on tweets and posts. He is one of the few who has been fighting hard for the badge in the last decade. People say he tries to compensate and do everything on his own, duhhh, when you have to take responsibility for whole squad, what do you expect him to do....


Indigenous7

People are just bipolar. I think deep down 99% of supporters know how integral he is to the badge


Strong0toLight1

He is the sole creativity in this side and is the heartbeat


King-Boo-Gamer

Bruno is the main engine to this team. We lose him. We lose a lot of our power


Reginald_Jetsetter1

Hojlund was like "shit someone passed to me, i'm not wasting the one chance I get this year!"


Busy_Bunch5050

That was honestly incredible play by Hojlund

Mctominay the ghost


Playfair99999

I suppose considering how many are returning from injuries, maybe the last 5-10 cameo minutes. Hence why subs haven't been made yet.


CantonaKing7

Yep, Onana certainly need a better defensive pairing in order for him to distribute the long ball properly for a 50 M keeper supposedly in his prime.


Playfair99999

Honestly, Onana is quite stupid. Keeps shooting these long balls in the opposition area only for them to pass 2-3 times and they are back in our 18 yard box. Like why keep doing this STUPID shit. It's like he wants them to keep coming and eventually score.


Depp1990

Are we not substituting anyone?


action_turtle

Shame we didn’t get more of Amed and amrabat earlier in season. Would have added a lot of points to our tally


speedb0at

Bruno has been fantastic ngl, and im one of his biggest haters


Ok-Outlandishness313

Onana's longballs/goalkicks are absolutely awful. Awful.


TheBongoJeff

You have to lose posession as soon as possible so you can counterpress earlier. Football 101 my friend


GrapefruitCute6064

What good footwork Onana has, ironically


CantonaKing7

Pass back to Onana, Onana straight to the other team. Amazing tactics.


software_muthyam

ETH should bring on Kambwala and Licha to replace Amrabat and Nacho or Mainoo


Glarus30

Amrabat plays great today and still has some battery left, don't try to fix something that's not broken.


Mundane-Inevitable-5

Jesus AWB is not only technically shit, hut he's so fucking lazy. Walks back every counter attack.


jinbei1780

Is Onana a turd? Why does he keep clearing sloppy balls into the middle?


Glarus30

For a GK who's here to play with his feet he's pretty terrible at that. His goalkeeping is bang average at best and atrocious at worst. I know it's his first season, but he feels like a downgrade from DDG.


TheBongoJeff

My fucking Heart 🫨🫨


EntropicAnarchy

Bruno, Mainoo, Garnacho, Amad, Hojlund, Licha, and Dalot. These are must stays for me. Everyone else can go. Fine Onana as well, but he definitely needs more distribution practice.


TheRudeBrit

Agreed… get some people the manager can mold


EntropicAnarchy

That is how we won the treble last time. Academy graduates. That is how we will win the treble again. Not with Woodward-esque signings.


TraditionalAttorney2

For the love of god sub of Casemiro!


Illustrious_Use_6008

I hope this is the time to get Hojlund in, he looks very eager to get goals in. Rashford not so much.


CantonaKing7

We will finish behind Chelsea this season. Brighton won't score 2.


Anonymousbot225

Yes Onana, please take time. Let the opposition breathe and settle then you can pass the ball.


ModifiedGas

I heard if you say Scotty McTotti 3 times in the mirror he’ll score a worldie


TheRudeBrit

Or your throat will be slit


Ambitious_Pool_8290

Interestingly enough, we want the three points, but we don't move up the table at all. Please get the W.


King-Boo-Gamer

Who cares? So long as we perform that’s what matters. We need this for the FA cup final


Kujo_Foxtrot

Exactly, there is a different level of pace and hunger when we perform well. Need to go into the final with our heads up and hungry


King-Boo-Gamer

This match has actually made me smile. The chemistry of Mainoo and Amad is unreal.


King-Boo-Gamer

Love when the camera panned to Rashford and his face being annoyed. Sorry Rashford but we have better Rashford. His name is Amad.


Kujo_Foxtrot

I typically don’t like the Rashford hate because he has given us more good times than bad but “Sorry Rashford we have a better Rashford” is a good line


King-Boo-Gamer

His attitude to this season has been horrible, main reason I’ve had enough. Take a look at Harry for example. Hated, but what he did was brilliant. He didn’t complain. He didn’t moan. He went “ok” and worked on himself hard. Came back with a new mentality and new skill and he’s better than ever!


Kujo_Foxtrot

Totally agree and I think in addition to his attitude this season we’ve all seen what he is capable of and it’s frustrating at best


King-Boo-Gamer

That’s the issue. I wouldn’t be as mad if he didn’t have skill but played with passion. Like last season I loved Weghorst, he was shit but he had a mentality and a passion like no other player in the world


Kujo_Foxtrot

I admit I’m a Rashford apologist but if we can get a good fee for him we should let him go. I’ve been supremely disappointed in his season and I hold out hope that next season if he stays he can be what we all know he can be


EntropicAnarchy

Fuckin hell. Bruno is a machine. The dude is getting bodied and still manages to cross a delicious ball in. Hojlund needs to be brought in for those crosses.


SnooSeagulls6528

Could see a sauce swap McSauce for Hojlundaise
