Bruno Fernandes really proving why he deserved a bumper pay-rise and should be Man United’s next captain

Or every week when he gets mauled at PMQs by Starmer. He knows this knocks those exchanges down the news agenda.
So is Johnson going to do a sombre Covid press conference every time a picture pops up to prove the Tories were partying while they asked us to stay at home?
Munya remains the undisputed and undefeated champ of satire

Politicians should listen and learn from Gary on how to communicate effectively - clear and concise language, no fluff, no talking around the point

your reminder that almost 2,000 people have been prosecuted at Westminster magistrates court for ignoring lockdowns, attending parties and breaking quarantine during this pandemic

All I said was he’s made some questionable decisions and I stand by that Obvs doesn’t sort the contracts. But it’s clear both could of/should of been sold to stop this situation happening. Lingard was convinced to stay and hasn’t been played. Rinsing lol. I enjoy debate.
Again, it’s not down to Ole to sort out Pogba and Lingard’s contracts. Not sure why you think anything you’re saying contradicts the statement I made: Solskjaer has built a great squad. Also not sure why you keep quote tweeting me when you’re getting rinsed every time 😐

Ole pushed for British signings as part of a ‘cultural reboot’ hence the overpay for Maguire and AWB when it was clear at the time better options were available. Ronaldo was given to him - he didn’t ask for him. And he’s had 3 years to sort Pogba/Lingard situation
Solskjaer doesn’t decide transfer fees. He also has no say in Pogba or Lingard’s contract negotiations. Ighalo was clearly an emergency signing at a time when our strikers were injured so it’s weird to even mention him. Fernandes, Ronaldo, Sancho, Cavani, Varane, Amad 👍

Solskjaer signed 11 first-team players James, Ighalo sold already Overpaid for Maguire, AWB, Telles DVB has barely featured Sold Lukaku + Herrera but gave new deals to Bailly Jones Mata Matic Pogba + Lingard likely to leave for free. Some very questionable decisions
Solskjaer has build a great squad, the personalities are right (no more Di Maria or Sanchez) and we have lots of young players on the verge of greatness. Someone with a superior tactical awareness should have a great time at United.

If Man United can become even as half as successful as the Red Bull clubs at recruitment, then in a few years they well be back challenging for major honours.
During his time working for the Red Bull clubs Ralf Rangnick oversaw the signings of Sadio Mané, Naby Keïta, Dayot Upamecano, Joshua Kimmich and Erling Haaland as part of their data-driven football strategy. In the long-term he could have a huge impact at United #mufc

Ed Woodward is drafting a three-year deal for Carrick. It's the Man United way.

Amar is spot on

This is all part of the problem. Better representation needed in all aspects of life.
It’s at this point where I like to say, I wish the actual DCMS committee panel had better representation too.

This is spot on on football's misguided obsession with giving manager times. Time is earnt by achievements on the pitch.
There's a section of Man Utd fans who are asking why ex-players won't say Solskjaer should be sacked. It's a waste of time. Why do you need Gary Neville to say Ole needs to go? Neville's opinion does not speed up or slow down any change in the manager.

United should do everything they can to get Ten Hag, Overmars and Van Der Sar. It’s the only way they’d actually achieve a proper cultural reset. Still having no plan b is a shocking dereliction of duty but hardly surprising under the Glazers.
No sign of movement on Solskjaer, as repeated sources say "there's no plan B" - no viable medium-term replacements or interims - Rangnick interested but would want to be DOF - Ten Hag wouldn't leave mid-season - Zidane currently no interest independent.co.uk/sport/foot…

This thread is a fair reflection of Solskjaer’s time at Man United. Although the idea of buying British players (because that was what Sir Alex had) as part of the reset has proven to be an expensive mistake when better players were available than Maguire, AWB, James

Man United in real danger of wasting the best years of their most important players. Dea Gea, Maguire, Varane, Shaw, Pogba, Bruno are all 26+. They need a manager to get the best out of them now.

Seeing Ole try to play 3 at the back just makes you admire the likes of Tuchel and Conte that much more. It’s worlds apart. People mention how easy it is to defend with 3 atb, but you can see how that’s just not the case when you have someone as incompetent as Ole employ it.
