Bruno Guimarães was captaining his side against the likes of Barcelona last season, now he’s playing backup to Miles Lewis Skelly and missing penalties against Fleetwood Town 😢

How would you know? You never go to the games. Sat in your bedroom studio. Get on the terraces you big tart.
Genuinely think the board confused the cheering for Carrick after Bournemouth as a sign fans want him to stay.

Two things about changing culture 1) it starts with leaders and 2) remove rotten apples. So start with Glazers, Ratcliffe and players - Carrick isn’t the problem right now. But @markgoldbridge only cares about himself, clicks and social media outrage.
Carrick has turned up in his coaching gear.....

Outstanding performance from our Under-21s in front of over 5,000 Geordies at St. James' Park. HOWAY THE LADS 💪
Replying to @NUFC
YES, LADS 😍 A big win in the Tyne-Wear derby thanks to goals from Kyran Thompson, Seung-soo and Vakhtang Salia 🙌

This man and this club don’t deserve EH, they deserve shit.
"I do not think that EDDIE HOWE is the right manager for Manchester United!" ❌ Would you take Eddie Howe at #mufc? 🤔

Stand out performances from the Stadium of Light so far include the x10 plastic bags, x20 wrappers and all the other flying debris. Covering the hard yards like no one else.

Have been saying it for years (cf. below) but in anything resembling a fair and proper sport #MUFC would have gone down since 2013. And it (again, alt universe) would have helped them sort themselves out. Instead they're in this perpetual loop of dreck
Replying to @CWeatherspoon_
The top six don't even realise how insulated from reality and disproportionately advantaged they are already. Or, if they do, they choose not to acknowledge it. If any other club had been ran as badly as Manchester United have in the last decade they'd have been relegated by now

255 euros? Seriously?
🚨🇵🇹 OFFICIAL: Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended for 30 days plus fined for €255. The decision has been made by Portugal Federation after he left the national team’s camp in Denmark. Cristiano himself had suggested a punishment after apologizing for that.
