Good to see Mainoo back in action as well as Mount now getting these injuries back again is good. Just need a cameo from Luke Shaw.

We'll you were right about the clean sheet. But I think I'd have preferred my prediction of an 8-0 loss cause at least we would have seen some goals.

Clean sheet is a start. But the hope is that this will be one of those big opposion games where the team actually turns up and gives 110%. Alternative is that Man City actually switch it on and we lose 8-0.

Yeah it's a bit of a culture shock, but a nice one. Although they weren't difficult games, it is good to see the team starting to gel a bit. From experience I'm not confident it will last. But its welcome none the less.

To be fair I don't think the finance will be a problem. Investors and banks will be lining to fund this as there is so much room for return on investment. Just look at how much the Glazors have taken out the club, United is a free money pot for investors. One thing for sure, the money won't come from Glazors though,, but they will still be around to profit from it without doing anything to earn it.

Well we lost but it wasn't as bad a performance than we've had recently. It was good to see Obi given a chance, he looked bright. Zirkzee did some really good work too. Garnacho made a big difference but he got to get more shouting practice in and learn when it's best to pass instead. Still young so hopefully that improves over time.
Now we have more time to focus on getting into the top Fourteen in the league!

I think from now on is probably worth starting watching games from after half time and pretend like it's 0-0 from there.

So now the US are officially running a protection racket! You really do have mob bosses running the place.

No it isn't

Wow, really nothing at all to comment about in that first half. Looks like one of those games where we hopefully nick a late 1-0

This is a much better deal than I was expecting.

Fingers crossed he gets a new lease of life elsewhere. There is a great player there but his one trick approach was very quickly found out in the Prem. I think elsewhere in Europe he'd have more luck.

If he pays well and we can get at about half our money back in transfer fee in the summer that would be decent.

I give it about 5 seconds before you'll start to see other fans mouthing off about how unfair it is that the tax payers are paying to build United a new stadium! 🤣

But this is great news, regeneration of the wider area around a centre piece stadium (built and funded by us) would be amazing.

I have more faith in the money men successfully pulling this off compared to their success with the team.

we need to get someone else then to partner Ugarte. Don't think we have anyone already in the team. Casimero and Erikson past it can fill in sometimes put not first 11. So we got to spend to fill that gap.

I'm not watching the game but following the match text. Please someone give me some hope for the second half, has there been any signs of life at all in the first half?

However this finishes you can't say the players haven't put in effort and commitment this game. They are up for the fight.

This is really troubling now to the point you wonder where and how we are going to pick up any more points. Palace, Everton, Wolves and Ipswich all look like they could string a run of results together better than us.

Big trouble you say.... Only question now is how many will Wolves score.

I don't expect Van to change things massively but at least I want him to have told the attacking midfielders to pass more and not just shot on site as soon as they receive the ball.

The music is one of the best things about this series. It's full of addictive little dittys throughout the game.

Anyone here watched the animated film. It was one of the very few decent game adaptations. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1488591/

I think the following 6 are reasonable aim:

• Team with the most managers this season
• Most wasted potential of the year
• Most unexplained injuries
• Worst owners of the century
• Best Stadium Waterfall
• League Cup
