2-4 years ago, I was excited about McTominay. I genuinely thought that we had found our own Fletcher to help solidify the defense. So sad that it turned out this way with him.
Bad coaching doesn’t help. He has the fitness, the physical attributes and the attitude to succeed. What he lacks is entirely mental and the absolute lack of coaching in the past half decade is never more evident than when analysing McTominay.
I'm a United fan, born and raised in Manchester, so standardly I have a fair few City mates I've grown up with over the past 30 years. Saturday was an all time low, lower than even the 6-1. We all met in the pub after the matches, then went back to a mate's gaff with cans to watch MOTD. The City fans we're genuinely crying with joy, real tears, during the United highlights. Never been so miserable in all my life. The blind faith supporter in me still feels we can beat Liverpool on Monday, but my head is also fully aware this could be the worst season ever. Again, great vid Tinashe regardless of the subject. Sad times but chin up lad. GGMU
Having Casemiro and VDB filling out the CDM roles might be the magic bullet we need, but there's still a gaping hole in the back 4. Obviously the fridge has to go. But Shaw and Dalot, while fairly good at fufilling the wing-part of "wingback" - while they've been consistent at applying extra pressure in the flanks of the final third, their actual production when it comes to chance creation is less than stellar. Methinks it would be an even higher hurdle to clear with TAA thrown in against them. Not to mention the aforementioned wingbacks are not the best when it comes to defending their own flank in return... And we still haven't mentioned an out of form Bruno, an out of form Rashford, and a very disgruntled Ronaldo. However, if magic is indeed created, I think Ronaldo might just stay.
@@munmunyee Mate I'm fully with you there, it's been a real shame with Shaw since his leg break, he comes back sparklin every now n then, but yeh, he's more Stella than Stellar... Been saying for years now, he always looks rough, like he's had a night out on the tiles before a game. Dalot.... Yeah pass on that one. He's kinda alright on the wing, but if he's pedaling back in the box I swallow my own tongue every time. Bruno has real class, we all know that, he just doesn't get the chance to play his football atm because we have crabs for midfielders (passing sideways... sideways... back... sideways... back.... sideways... etc) ffs it's painful. Rashford..... Lord only knows what's going on with him. His heads gone, he's right off the wagon. Heard that he's bringing a rap song out with that melt "Dave". Jesus wept, says it all really.

Mason Greenwood was their catalyst, he scored in the games where united desperately needed a goal (pre Ronaldo). Him rightfully going to jail was what to me, the start to the new low United started facing.
Greenwood started in the Liverpool and City games at Old Trafford last season which was what really got Ole sacked, he might have made a slight difference but the downfall was well underway when he got arrested
I imagine a lot of the dressing root issues stemmed from it, you never know what's going on behind the scenes, but it's hard to imagine that the revelation didn't have a significant impact on squad synergy.

I think the magic of the soljkaer temporary role was having a midfield of Matic, Herrera and Pogba, they covered each other well. When Herrera got injured we started to suffer and it continued till the end of the season. If it was evident then that we needed a CM and no action was taken one can wonder how poorly this club is run.

Mourinho is known for getting the best out of what he has. At Madrid he had players he wanted, he eventually won La Liga with a record 100 points playing some of the most electric counter attacking football ever seen. At United he didn't, so he played boring defensive football, and still left with a Europaleague, League cup , Fa cup and comm shield. Firing him was the worst decision that club has made, shouldve sold Pogba immediately after the Mourinho spat.
Ralf was 100% spot on when he said the club needed open heart surgery. I think the owners and the board underestimated his analysis and that led to him leaving in the summer. I don’t blame ETH in any capacity for the results early this season. The pattern is there, the behaviour of the players. The point about the ownership is crucial. The Glaziers have taken £1bn in dividends since taking over in 2005. If they did not have to meet this and annual £60m interest payments they would have had an additional £1.6pm in potential transfer fees. They could have blown any team out the water with their financials.
They've turned Man U into the Yucs. When they took over the Bucs they did the same thing. Difference being that the NFL has salary caps so they have to spend a set amount on players and after the 02 super bowl they were complete trash (back to the Yucs) until Tom Brady decided to go down there.
Used to hurt so much when we lost, now I feel nothing… no thrill in football like your team winning and winning in great fashion, don’t even have that option anymore
You forgot to mention the fact that they seem to always have some sort of scandal every now and then involving players in the first 11.. Giggs, Ronaldo, Greenwood etc...
Here in Germany, Ralf Rangnick is seen as on of the best German managers there is. (Klopp and others have called him the best and their idol) The fact that what Mourinho has said about ManU seems so obvious now, and Rangnick, after coming back as a manager after having had Burnout and instantly wanting to leave again, shows to me that no manager will have lasting success, unless something changes at the top.
I always felt like Rangnick was past his prime. What was his last managerial success? Things changed a lot since the last time he lead a club to glory. My very biased German opinion.
@@jochenklausberger9076 you‘re probably right. But I still think that Rangnick‘s performance at ManU was for the most part was not his fault. I mean having half a season is really not much to change a club that has struggled for years and Rangnick usually has needed time to really leave his mark. And even if he was more to blame, I’m sure most elite managers today couldn’t have done better in the time given. (How could anyone: different scheme fits, management problems etc.)
@@jochenklausberger9076 and more to your point: I’d agree that Rangnick isn’t the same anymore, especially not when you consider for how long he has managed, how many years he was absent and because of his burnout. Still, I believe a out of prime Rangnick is probably more capable than most of ManU‘s managers since Ferguson.
I start by saying I'm a Liverpool supporter. Last year, I was so surprised to see Man U drop sooo low ! I mean, they seemed like they were on the up, they brought insane players like CR7, Varane and Sancho, and Solkjaer looked to be in control, though he's not the best tactician there is. So, to thrash them 0-5 at Old Trafford and then 4-0 ! I was very happy about it of course, but very surprised too. I trully expected Man U to be third, and closing the gap to City and us, like 10 points behind or something. But Man U is the perfect example that if your owners don't give a shit about football, you can do whatever you want, the odds are very strongly against you. Even if you're the richest club in the world, spend 1.5 billion in 10 years trying to get the best players and managers. On the opposite side, at Liverpool, our owners (other Americans) are specialized in sports first, which is a good thing, arrived when the club was at a historic low, but they did everything to bring back the club to the top and achieved it in just nearly 6 years. The Glazers bought a club on the top of Football, had years and years under one of the greatest managers ever, with the capacity to stack money to prepare the post-Ferguson era, they had the money and reputation to bring in whoever they wanted not only as manager, but as director of football and as CEO, and even as scouts, coaches, etc... And yet, when Ferguson left, the club crumbled... It all starts with the fact that for the Glazers, Manchester United isn't a fan favourite football club, that inspires millions of people all around the world. For them, it is a cow that produces a lot of milk. So they milk it like crazy, they focus only on the business side of things. I don't even understand why they decide to bring players the managers don't want. What is the point? Why bring Fred, Fellaini the legend, or take insane risks like with Sanchez? Who decides those things? I don't wish Man U to win, obviously, but I'm not wishing Manchester fans to be desperate either. We Liverpool fans were desperate from 2009 to 2015 (except the 2013-2014 title chase) and that is hard. I want our biggest rival to be strong so that the Derby of England continues to mean something ! We'll see what happens tonight, but Man U looks so weak and fragile... If the Glazers are to stay, the best thing would be to give ten Hag some time, time to rebuild, time to build his own team and develop his style. Look how much time it took Klopp to bring us in title contention. In 2015-2016 we finished 8th ! Man U would have just sacked him ! Then we finished 4th twice in a row. Nothing exceptionnal right? But then we finished 2nd and won the UCL, then the PL the next year. Now we are extremely strong. And Klopp had a much weaker side when he arrived than what Ten Had has right now !!! So, give him time. He won't build a world class team in one year (most likely anyway), but give him 3 years and you may be in title contention once again. We'll see. See you tonight Man U fans, I hope we Liverpool kickstart our season tonight !!!
You should have reminded us on how Maguire, Shaw, Rashford, Martial ,Fred were responsible for making united what's now . Seems like this Maguire uses charms in maintaining his captaincy.
The biggest issue is with Maguire. If you have a completely inept player as your captain and getting game time despite being worse than horrible, it sends a bad message to the rest of the team. Mediocrity is ok, tolerable, acceptable, or even to be rewarded. Then there is Rashford, who is more interested in being a wannabe philanthropist than actually putting in a performance on the pitch. I pity Shaw, Martial, and Fred to a certain extent. Shaw had a horrible injury record IIRC and having to cover for a Maguire sized black hole day in day out is not going to be good for your mental health. Same with Martial, with the club pining for the likes of Lukaku, Sanchez, and Cavani up top over him. Then again, his poor loan spell didn't help his case. For Fred, he has never been given a chance to shine alongside a proper CDM. He is better going forward but because he is shackled to McTominay, who is also better going forward, the partnership suffers.
I think the best case scenario Uniteds' future right now is looking at Arsenal and seeing what may be for them if they do the open heart surgery. Arteta started 3 years ago to implement his philosophy, playstyle and discipline to the team. It took 3 years to get Arsenal fans genuinely excited over actual progress, not a lucky 2nd place because everyone else was having an off-year too. Arsenal hasn't even qualified CL yet, last years ending of the season was very typical as well (AGAIN). But they keep strengthening their squad with smart purchesing of new players for areas that need that boost, and they do it with Artetas' philosophy and playstyle in mind. They first strenghtened their keeper, defense and midfield, and now they finally bought a REAL striker with the skills they desperately needed. Same way Liverpool started rebuilding under Klopp, starttng at your own goalpost and working forward to your striker. And they give talented youthplayers a real chance, which is now really paying off for Arsenal. United have been signing attacking players they don't need for so long and never invested in their defense the wat Liverpool and Arsenal have been doing. If you want Ten Hag to succeed, learn from Liverpool and Arsenal and give the man 3 years to implement his philosophy. Get him the players he needs and give talented youth players a chance to shine if your A-squad players keep dropping the ball because they're unmotivated and undisciplined. The fact that Fred was bought without the manager even asking for it or signing off on it, but he's been in the starting eleven all this time while clearly not being good enough just says it all. Good luck United, I hope I can get excited for you too in 3 years because I just love to see a good comeback story like Liverpools' and Arsenals'.
I thought of an idea that I’d love to see you explore. I’m a novice but huge fan of soccer, I love watching top tier football, and I’m wondering if they’re any non euro leagues worth watching. I’m in America so Mexico is close and always on tv, but a lot of times it seems like it isn’t quality at all. Any specific leagues or any teams worth watching in the americas?
Man United are a big club, a giant, and to see this one great dominant club fall from grace so hard is unfortunate and sad. My friend supports Leeds and even him, while he is proud of the rivalry between the two, said the glazers have leeched and ruined them.
Great vid as always I’ve been a subscriber from around 25k and have loved all your videos. Could you please maybe do a video on the rivalry between Celtic and rangers or maybe just Scottish football please.
0:51 honestly tho, that right there is straight up the truth. Man United had World Class Midfielders at their disposal yet somehow McFred started over the much better pairing of Donny Van de Beek and Nemanja Matic… I don’t even know anymore.
They're a very shrewdly run club, that's why. For sure, they suck up the rest of the Bundesliga's best players like Kirby, but you never see them paying an extortionate amount on transfer fees and wages. At the end of the day, they've been in the black for the last few decades. For a big club, that's impressive.
Who owns Man U? Who is the president and who is the GM. They are the problem Players psychology: why even try at this point in the season when we are likely to get another manager? Rinse repeat.
Should’ve listened to rangnick. Utd needs an open heart surgery, at least half of the team needs to leave. Focus on own youth and on promising young talents should be the focus (like arsenal).
@@lexkanyima2195 don’t know, but it would be better than spending lots of money on players that are older / just want to cash in. For example, real bought tchouameni and has just sold casemiro to utd. Dont get me wrong, Casemiro is still great but tchouameni would have clearly been the better move for united. The could’ve also tried to get Bellingham. But yet again they bought some older player who might be shit in one to two seasons
De Jong isn't gonna leave his dream club where he plays Champions league to play for a dead team like United in Europa league, he's still young why would he retire from top tier football?...stop smoking lmao
There wasn't any real progress under ollie, poor performances by those around united and Bruno taking 100 pens masked how awful they were. I don't see how anyone saw progress with the play style they had, there's been no identity for a long time
you now understand ManUtd fans' pain. But for me, this is understandable because this the transition period of the team, when they are at their weakest state. However, United's period is much worse than Klopp or Pep's, Erik ten Hag literally has to coach a team with no basic foundation aka they don't know anything simple like off-ball movements or first touches. This season I admire him because he has highlighted "Sir" Ole's trash legacy of sabotaging potential players like Pogba, Dean Henderson, Donny van de Beek, Aaron Wan Bisaka, and demolishing the club with Bruhno Fernandes, Harry "false 5" Maguire, the legendary double pivot of Fred and Mctominay. Erik ten Hag is really a man with excellent talent, but what he has to face is so much worse than he could imagine. This transition period really takes the club at least 5 years to change the squad, and change the staff as well. But if the club has patience for ten Hag, and willingness to grow and change with him like Sir Alex's rough time, they will regain their startue soon.
Man United are a victim of their own success. Cuz when you've been on top for so long, you tend to forget what it took to get there in the first place.
Lol the defense can't even keep a defensive line the midfield melts under any pressure and their best forwards prime was when most of the managers were players. All this and the squad cost over half a billion
@@kgomotsolucas1988 i wish what? I´m not a United fan, and yes, Casemiro its a done deal and Antony is close, unless you know better than Fabrizio Romano.

And man, I remember how LVG brought the FA Cup trophy into the post match interview to prove a point, just to get binned a few hours later. I feel that he was treated unfairly harshly.
@Will Stubbs if u say the problem is multi faceted, then u cant say that LVG wasn't suitable for the long term rebuild. Despite the awful slow football he played in his second season, he was doing the right thing in terms of long term planning, promoting a lot of youths.
@@lexkanyima2195 thats what i meant, the 1st commenter said LVG wasn't suitable for the job but by his CV he clearly one of the most qualified, and United problems wasnt just a Manager's problem, its the whole culture set by the owner
Ten Hag knows now that his pre-season plans are out of the window. If he wants to stand A chance against Liverpool and others, he can only park the bus and hope for something that resembles "counter football". Forget about one touch football, forget about lettin the ball run, forget about tactical play with and without the ball, forget about anything that comes even close to the standard of national and international football. His fundamentals from defence and midfield are not there. He needs a world-class goallie and a world-class defence , just to start with.
@@philsarkol6443 I dont think he will survive long enough to implement his style, his only hope is to play counter attack and try and get players in over a few transfer windows to make his own team.
I knew this was coming back in July, when Harry Maguire was confirmed as captain _again._ Consider what it communicates to everyone else on Man U's roster when this guy is gifted the armband again despite his consistently shambolic leadership of the defense. How can any of Man U's players be motivated?
Great video. But as a United fan I felt some issues weren't addressed in this video. - Glazers Incompetence in running this club. - Fans not backing Ole to leaf United to the promised land - Lack of silverware since 2017. - High player wages.
@smth 9021 Anybody who saw Man United under Mourinho will tell you how dull and defensive that football was. It worked in the first season only. After that we were getting humiliated
The Casemiro and Fred Combo works for the Brazilian national team so there's no reason why it shouldn't work for Man United right? Harry Maguire: "Hold my beer"

I mean, they seemed like they were on the up, they brought insane players like CR7, Varane and Sancho, and Solkjaer looked to be in control, though he's not the best tactician there is. So, to thrash them 0-5 at Old Trafford and then 4-0 ! I was very happy about it of course, but very surprised too. I trully expected Man U to be third, and closing the gap to City and us, like 10 points behind or something.
But Man U is the perfect example that if your owners don't give a shit about football, you can do whatever you want, the odds are very strongly against you. Even if you're the richest club in the world, spend 1.5 billion in 10 years trying to get the best players and managers.
On the opposite side, at Liverpool, our owners (other Americans) are specialized in sports first, which is a good thing, arrived when the club was at a historic low, but they did everything to bring back the club to the top and achieved it in just nearly 6 years.
The Glazers bought a club on the top of Football, had years and years under one of the greatest managers ever, with the capacity to stack money to prepare the post-Ferguson era, they had the money and reputation to bring in whoever they wanted not only as manager, but as director of football and as CEO, and even as scouts, coaches, etc... And yet, when Ferguson left, the club crumbled...
It all starts with the fact that for the Glazers, Manchester United isn't a fan favourite football club, that inspires millions of people all around the world. For them, it is a cow that produces a lot of milk. So they milk it like crazy, they focus only on the business side of things.
I don't even understand why they decide to bring players the managers don't want. What is the point? Why bring Fred, Fellaini the legend, or take insane risks like with Sanchez? Who decides those things?
I don't wish Man U to win, obviously, but I'm not wishing Manchester fans to be desperate either. We Liverpool fans were desperate from 2009 to 2015 (except the 2013-2014 title chase) and that is hard.
I want our biggest rival to be strong so that the Derby of England continues to mean something ! We'll see what happens tonight, but Man U looks so weak and fragile...
If the Glazers are to stay, the best thing would be to give ten Hag some time, time to rebuild, time to build his own team and develop his style. Look how much time it took Klopp to bring us in title contention. In 2015-2016 we finished 8th ! Man U would have just sacked him ! Then we finished 4th twice in a row. Nothing exceptionnal right? But then we finished 2nd and won the UCL, then the PL the next year. Now we are extremely strong.
And Klopp had a much weaker side when he arrived than what Ten Had has right now !!! So, give him time. He won't build a world class team in one year (most likely anyway), but give him 3 years and you may be in title contention once again.
We'll see.
See you tonight Man U fans, I hope we Liverpool kickstart our season tonight !!!
You should have reminded us on how Maguire, Shaw, Rashford, Martial ,Fred were responsible for making united what's now . Seems like this Maguire uses charms in maintaining his captaincy.
The biggest issue is with Maguire. If you have a completely inept player as your captain and getting game time despite being worse than horrible, it sends a bad message to the rest of the team. Mediocrity is ok, tolerable, acceptable, or even to be rewarded.
Then there is Rashford, who is more interested in being a wannabe philanthropist than actually putting in a performance on the pitch.
I pity Shaw, Martial, and Fred to a certain extent. Shaw had a horrible injury record IIRC and having to cover for a Maguire sized black hole day in day out is not going to be good for your mental health. Same with Martial, with the club pining for the likes of Lukaku, Sanchez, and Cavani up top over him. Then again, his poor loan spell didn't help his case. For Fred, he has never been given a chance to shine alongside a proper CDM. He is better going forward but because he is shackled to McTominay, who is also better going forward, the partnership suffers.
Who is watching this after Liverpool game
This is awesome I’d love to see break down of record vs money spent
Mad how things have turned around in a few weeks.
Rocommended after united's draw vs crystal palace. Still holds true more than 2 years later😢
I think the best case scenario Uniteds' future right now is looking at Arsenal and seeing what may be for them if they do the open heart surgery. Arteta started 3 years ago to implement his philosophy, playstyle and discipline to the team. It took 3 years to get Arsenal fans genuinely excited over actual progress, not a lucky 2nd place because everyone else was having an off-year too. Arsenal hasn't even qualified CL yet, last years ending of the season was very typical as well (AGAIN). But they keep strengthening their squad with smart purchesing of new players for areas that need that boost, and they do it with Artetas' philosophy and playstyle in mind. They first strenghtened their keeper, defense and midfield, and now they finally bought a REAL striker with the skills they desperately needed. Same way Liverpool started rebuilding under Klopp, starttng at your own goalpost and working forward to your striker. And they give talented youthplayers a real chance, which is now really paying off for Arsenal. United have been signing attacking players they don't need for so long and never invested in their defense the wat Liverpool and Arsenal have been doing. If you want Ten Hag to succeed, learn from Liverpool and Arsenal and give the man 3 years to implement his philosophy. Get him the players he needs and give talented youth players a chance to shine if your A-squad players keep dropping the ball because they're unmotivated and undisciplined. The fact that Fred was bought without the manager even asking for it or signing off on it, but he's been in the starting eleven all this time while clearly not being good enough just says it all. Good luck United, I hope I can get excited for you too in 3 years because I just love to see a good comeback story like Liverpools' and Arsenals'.
It will not gonna happen.
The edits were class and funny as hell bro, your videos are consistently improving and they’re already so good.
Keep up the great work man 🙏🏼
"All the big Boys" - No FC Bayern.
... I take that personally. :(
I thought of an idea that I’d love to see you explore. I’m a novice but huge fan of soccer, I love watching top tier football, and I’m wondering if they’re any non euro leagues worth watching. I’m in America so Mexico is close and always on tv, but a lot of times it seems like it isn’t quality at all. Any specific leagues or any teams worth watching in the americas?
Man United are a big club, a giant, and to see this one great dominant club fall from grace so hard is unfortunate and sad. My friend supports Leeds and even him, while he is proud of the rivalry between the two, said the glazers have leeched and ruined them.
You're one of my favorite TH-camrs, bro... BUT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!!! MORE OF IT!!!! HAVE FUN IN THE VANARAMA NATIONAL LEAGUE IN A FEW YEARS!!!!!
Arsenal fan 🤣 even if we go in our lowest point we'll still be bigger than ur tinpot club will ever be. Enjoy bottling Top 4 again 🤣.
United are finally back and have improved a lot and since winning Liverpool they have rarely lost but mostly won and drawed
Great vid as always I’ve been a subscriber from around 25k and have loved all your videos. Could you please maybe do a video on the rivalry between Celtic and rangers or maybe just Scottish football please.
This aged well.
0:51 honestly tho, that right there is straight up the truth. Man United had World Class Midfielders at their disposal yet somehow McFred started over the much better pairing of Donny Van de Beek and Nemanja Matic… I don’t even know anymore.
My week was ruined too my friend
I am from the future
I love how Bayern isn't on that top 10 global spenders list.
They're a very shrewdly run club, that's why. For sure, they suck up the rest of the Bundesliga's best players like Kirby, but you never see them paying an extortionate amount on transfer fees and wages.
At the end of the day, they've been in the black for the last few decades. For a big club, that's impressive.
in germany we say "the fish smells from the head" the glazers are the main problem in the club
Mou was right about this club and its players. We really let him down
Sad to watch but a must. Keep up the good work.
fred isn't as bad as people say he is, easily one of the best players last season for utd along with de gea and Ronaldo
I need a full analysis video on Alexis Sánchez
Who owns Man U? Who is the president and who is the GM.
They are the problem
Players psychology: why even try at this point in the season when we are likely to get another manager? Rinse repeat.
damn Such a shame how a big club like Man Utd fell off so badly
I have such a bad feeling about out game today against Liverpool.
My gut tells me this is going to be a record breaking game for Man Utd.
Not finished your video but already gave a like. So entertaining and informative. Keep up the great work.
Great video man, your story telling is amazing💯
The players need to know that if it doesn't work out this time, we're not looking at the coach but at any player who doesn't deliver.
Been waiting on you to cover this
Shit, i forgot Sanchez played for United lol
Should’ve listened to rangnick. Utd needs an open heart surgery, at least half of the team needs to leave. Focus on own youth and on promising young talents should be the focus (like arsenal).
But will it work
@@lexkanyima2195 don’t know, but it would be better than spending lots of money on players that are older / just want to cash in. For example, real bought tchouameni and has just sold casemiro to utd. Dont get me wrong, Casemiro is still great but tchouameni would have clearly been the better move for united. The could’ve also tried to get Bellingham. But yet again they bought some older player who might be shit in one to two seasons
i wish mourinhos roma faces ten hags man united and if mourinho wins against them says it all
With Casemiro onboard it may fix their midfield problems somewhat..now all they need to do is axe McGuire and who knows...skys the limit
Just ask Gordon Ramsay to make a great spaghetti out of leaves and dirt. that's how Erik Ten Hag now
What I'd do to remove the Glazers ffs
we went from de jong to rabiot to casimero and we could still get de jong they know that thyere under pressure from the fans
Let's see what happens
De Jong isn't gonna leave his dream club where he plays Champions league to play for a dead team like United in Europa league, he's still young why would he retire from top tier football?...stop smoking lmao
How do you feel about links to Casemiro?
There wasn't any real progress under ollie, poor performances by those around united and Bruno taking 100 pens masked how awful they were. I don't see how anyone saw progress with the play style they had, there's been no identity for a long time
Poor Casemiro.... well actually really rich cuz *DAMN* that is a lot of money, but poor in trophies for the rest of his career.
hey, can you please do a video of one of the greatest midfielders of all time, arguably (and is) the greatest midfielder of all time, Andres Inietsa??
Another banger by Football Iconic!!!!!
Cheers mate
Honestly... My exact thoughts. 👌🏼
Reminds me of what Disney has done to star wars.
This team can't score goals period, what will signing that DM from RM do?
POV you are here after Man U beat Liverpool 2-1
Chin up man, now you have Casemeiro
you now understand ManUtd fans' pain. But for me, this is understandable because this the transition period of the team, when they are at their weakest state. However, United's period is much worse than Klopp or Pep's, Erik ten Hag literally has to coach a team with no basic foundation aka they don't know anything simple like off-ball movements or first touches. This season I admire him because he has highlighted "Sir" Ole's trash legacy of sabotaging potential players like Pogba, Dean Henderson, Donny van de Beek, Aaron Wan Bisaka, and demolishing the club with Bruhno Fernandes, Harry "false 5" Maguire, the legendary double pivot of Fred and Mctominay. Erik ten Hag is really a man with excellent talent, but what he has to face is so much worse than he could imagine. This transition period really takes the club at least 5 years to change the squad, and change the staff as well. But if the club has patience for ten Hag, and willingness to grow and change with him like Sir Alex's rough time, they will regain their startue soon.
Liked this before I'd even watched 😂 what a time to be alive
We grew up knowing that Manchester was Manchester United but now
14:06 Ouch! 🤣
Man United are a victim of their own success. Cuz when you've been on top for so long, you tend to forget what it took to get there in the first place.
You almost had me until you tried to defend HM5.
Lol the defense can't even keep a defensive line the midfield melts under any pressure and their best forwards prime was when most of the managers were players. All this and the squad cost over half a billion
delete this video. manchester is red
no one saw this coming...

Just glory supporter things.
Great video! Depressing but great.
Man U just signed Casemiro and is closing in Antony according to Romano. Two huge signings, if he finally benches Maguire and Shaw.
U wish 😂😂
@@kgomotsolucas1988 i wish what? I´m not a United fan, and yes, Casemiro its a done deal and Antony is close, unless you know better than Fabrizio Romano.
😂🤣😂I would love to see de gea trying to play from the back against the Liverpool high press,who may not be at their best but they are still dangerous
As a Man United fan, this was almost therapeutic. I try to focus on all the good memories the club has given me. Speaking of which, any chance we get a video on Beckham’s time at United???
Just get an old school shirt used and never support the glazers again
@@hsthatzo8063 already got one mate!
Absolutely a beckham video and park ji sung
I recently started watching your vids and I've been binging them so much lately. Well researched themes and stories, great humour and your accent also helps. Keep it up!
Couldn’t agree more with you. Popped up into suggestions and have not regretted watching that first video I saw. Keep up the amazing work
Same here. After watching one, I had to watch them all. Problem is that now I've watched them all.
And man, I remember how LVG brought the FA Cup trophy into the post match interview to prove a point, just to get binned a few hours later. I feel that he was treated unfairly harshly.
@Will Stubbs 👍🏻 agreed.
@Will Stubbs if u say the problem is multi faceted, then u cant say that LVG wasn't suitable for the long term rebuild. Despite the awful slow football he played in his second season, he was doing the right thing in terms of long term planning, promoting a lot of youths.
@@d1want34 so why it work well for him at Ajax, Barca, Bayern and the Dutch national team (2012-2014 period) ?
@@lexkanyima2195 thats what i meant, the 1st commenter said LVG wasn't suitable for the job but by his CV he clearly one of the most qualified, and United problems wasnt just a Manager's problem, its the whole culture set by the owner
@@d1want34 good point 👍🏻
I slightly feel bad for Ten Hag, because he has little in terms of power to do anything about it, yet this will be bad for his carreer.
Yet he must have known what he was signing up for?
He didn't pay attention when Ralf was there?
Ten Hag knows now that his pre-season plans are out of the window. If he wants to stand A chance against Liverpool and others, he can only park the bus and hope for something that resembles "counter football". Forget about one touch football, forget about lettin the ball run, forget about tactical play with and without the ball, forget about anything that comes even close to the standard of national and international football. His fundamentals from defence and midfield are not there. He needs a world-class goallie and a world-class defence , just to start with.
@@philsarkol6443 I dont think he will survive long enough to implement his style, his only hope is to play counter attack and try and get players in over a few transfer windows to make his own team.
@smth 9021 there is no serious traning at all.
I knew this was coming back in July, when Harry Maguire was confirmed as captain _again._ Consider what it communicates to everyone else on Man U's roster when this guy is gifted the armband again despite his consistently shambolic leadership of the defense. How can any of Man U's players be motivated?
Great video. But as a United fan I felt some issues weren't addressed in this video.
- Glazers Incompetence in running this club.
- Fans not backing Ole to leaf United to the promised land
- Lack of silverware since 2017.
- High player wages.
I mentioned all of those.
Except for the Ole bit- fair enough.
@smth 9021 I think Ole being a former manU player....shone a more empathetic light on him as compared to LVG and Jose...
@smth 9021 Anybody who saw Man United under Mourinho will tell you how dull and defensive that football was. It worked in the first season only. After that we were getting humiliated
I miss Ole tho. He's still at the wheel I heard. 🤣
Jose Mourinho: "The greatest achievement in my career was getting Man United to finish second.". He was not wrong at all.
Obnoxious as he may be, the man speaks truth from time to time.
we won against liverpool less go
Ironic i just got this today recomended
Aged like milk
You and Tifo are by far the best football channels on TH-cam
Keep it up bru
We top 4 now boys
The Casemiro and Fred Combo works for the Brazilian national team so there's no reason why it shouldn't work for Man United right?
Harry Maguire: "Hold my beer"
International football is shit.
For England Harry Maguire is considered good.
As an on and off writer I really appreciate the work put into this video🙌🏾. Subscriber from Kenya🇰🇪
