Man United are better BUT it’s not enough
United cannot play for 60-70% possession with these players. How thick are these people. The strength of this team is pure speed and ETH has finally realized that which is why results are starting to turn around. Open your eyes people. Man United are getting better BUT it’s not enough! –
Man Utd had the highest XG for the weekend on understat with 3.59 and virtually all Luton shots except the lucky goal was next to no chance of going in.
ManU control games at home and tactically use counter attacking tactiks at away games. ManU only gives up control of games vs ManC, Liverpool and Arsenal for reasons. If the best back line and DMF are lined up- Luke Shaw, Delot/ AWB, Martinez, Varane at the back and Casemiro, Amrabat, Mainoo at DMF. ManU paly attacking games whenever we have the above. ManU had alot of injuries and no reliable bench therefore they cannot risk attacking games with midiocre defence. They tried it and backfired.
Jose Mourinho Speaks about England Job Offer and Time at Man Utd
Show them the 1st against Wolves, both Rashford’s and Højlund’s goals from a proper possession play.
What’s wrong being a counter attacking team? Is there any rule that good teams only know to control possession? United thrive more during counters. Yes, it should be less chaotic against the teams in the bottom half but now it is all about results and he is getting them now. It’s crazy now that they turn to performances when the results are good.
It’s like asking Mbappe to play Jack Grealish role at Man City asking Rashford, Bruno, Case etc to play a slow passing game.

The way Pep Guardiola plays has blinded people into thinking that’s how all big teams should play. I have no issues with a big club “going against the grain” and doing something different. The issue with Manchester United is the way they are set-up defensively. If Ten Hag solidify his rest defense and makes them more compact, I’m a happy man Utd.
They are everything
Just as games are fluid and ever changing, they have played in many different ways
Possession based…. remember many games Man U where accused of playing to slow and predictable ?
And certain games or periods of games they attack quicker.
This is the case with most teams. You have different set ups & strategies depending on the opponent.
How World Cup Winner Pogba Got Banned From Football
Burno is the main reason why manchester don’t dominate the midfield. He always gives the ball away, terrible passing, and bad decision-making. He cannot hold onto the ball and control play. I mean, the guy is captain, but he can’t claim the team down and play dynamic football in midfield.

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.

- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
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
