Evans and maguire partnership tells you how far United fell
Having to spend heavy on defense to end up with MaGuire and Johnny Evans is beyond me😢
What makes the Rice goal even more painful is that the shot was going into the cluster of bodies; and somehow, Evans legs that he supposedly was using to block the shot deflected it to the sole location were there was no bodies at all, and his legs didn’t even help slow the ball down.

Is there a better encapsulation of the current state of Manchester United than the sight of Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans, standing together as the last line of defence? It was an image to chill the soul of United’s supporters, who have repeatedly warned of the long-term consequences of the mismanagement of their club. Here, in the north London sun, they saw those consequences playing out in real time.

This is where bad decisions – taken over the course of years – ultimately take you, albeit with the help of some rotten luck in this case. Maguire and Evans were not sweating in the afternoon heat by design, but because there was no alternative for Erik ten Hag. Victor Lindelof dropped out of the game through illness, while Lisandro MartÃnez suffered an injury. Raphaël Varane, absent here, is out for a few weeks.

Rice, had made a success of his debut at Arsenal with solid performances, in particular his game without the ball, his physical slaughter, his tactical intelligence, these clean tackles without making mistakes, he scored his decisive goal which rewarded his match. People will stop bothering him because he cost €116m, typically the kind of player Sir Alex would have fetched 15/20 years ago at a premium.
We deserve everything that is happening to us simply because we as fans still attending the games of this and raising the worth of the club for the Glazers 😢😢
A fourth Man Utd fan posted: “Soon as I saw Evans and Maguire coming on. You just had the feeling of inevitability.”
One worried United fan added: “If you spend two transfer windows and end up with Mason Mount and Antony as your most expensive signings. And Maguire and Evans as your centre backs. I’m sorry but we gotta ask questions.”
We need to improve big time ! Can’t believe we finished the game with Maguire & Evans at CB today , that’s an awful combination 😮
Wasn’t Cristiano Ronaldo the problem? He was holding back this world class man united team but now what happened?
And now its ETH vs Sancho……what the hell is going on with this club?
The biggest problem Man Utd and Erik Ten Hag have next to injuries, is having offensive players who only goes solo when they reach the last 3rd of the field… 🙃 New signing Højlund will do decent this season, but will not fix their scoring problems, because he wont recieve any passes from the wingers. The other attackers mentality “me me me” and selfish attitude in Man utd is toxic and gonna cost them alot.. Imagine Højlund not playing arround players with tunnel vision (Garnacho, Athony, Rashford etc).. He would thrive a lot more in a club like man city or any of the other top clubs in the prem.

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
