On the Sancho situation, I think the way Sancho has handled it is all wrong. ETH only said "Jadon was not at his performance at training and not selected", and the went on to say at Man United each player has to train at their best. He shouldnt have said anything, but if he really wanted to, he should've just copped it on the chin and vowed to do better. Rashford was in the same position last year, he was late to training, he was dropped, he came out and accepted responsibility and then went on to have a great season.

Writing a note on social media crying about it is just going to mean he is even less likely to be picked moving forward.

It really shows in his performances. The guy has zero fighting spirit in him. No pride in his performances.

And ETH is trying to set a standard here.

1. He dropped Ronaldo
2. He dropped Rashford for turning up late to training
3. He dropped Garnacho in pre season last year for being a minute late to training
4. He dropped AWB for poor performances and then gave him the opportunity to fight his way back into the team
5. He dropped club captain Maguire to the bench and made him fourth choice
6. He let go of a legend in De Gea

He has signed the likes of Martinez, Casemiro, Antony and Amrabat who all have reputations for being hard workers who leave everything on the pitch.

There is a culture shift happening and it’s long overdue. It’s not going to be easy but it is needed.

Yes this goes back to when he was like 14/15. He was a **** of a kid then and he's even worse now.

give it one more season once u are able to bin the rejects in the club and build up the squad like we have over the last few years
With Arteta could always see a vision in how you wanted to play. Still don't see that with United.

Plus, Arteta was never truly backed to start off with and has to prove himself to the club. Ten Haag has been one of the most backed managers in the world.

Just am not sold on Ten Haag

they did back him but not as much as our wage bill at the time was ridiculously high and we weren't able to sign many players

To be fair our fans have protested every game this season and last, win or lose.

The reason we had to play Johnny Evans, 8 years after he first left the club because he was past it and considered not good enough is because they were refusing to dip into their pockets. Each club is allowed to invest 90m of external money each year regardless of financial play rules, so when we hit the FFP limit, we would have been allowed to sign another centre back with Glazer money, but from Day 1 at this club until now, they have invested $0.00. Not even one cent of their own money.

I think Ten Hag has clear faults. The lads dont seem to be as fully fit as other teams, we also cant press. But most United fans know that whether its Ten Hag or any other manager, the club has a deeper issue that needs to be resolved.
While there are clearly deeper issues as play, surely there comes a time when you actually blame the manager?

In 3 transfer windows he's been backed more than Klopp in his entire time at Liverpool. There needs to come a time when people open their eyes and stop blaming the owners for absolutely everything

They backed him to a point but nowhere near what they're doing now.

I'll stick to what I said. Arteta had a vision and it was clear to all what he was trying to do.

I'm still confused by Ten Haag tbh. Hope for United's sake he gets it right, and he's done some good things such as binning Ronaldo and Maguire.

Just not seeing it on the pitch

playing counter attacking football against the bigger teams doesn't genuinely work
