What's gone wrong with Manchester United since Sir Alex Ferguson retired (2012/13 season). After a decade of hiring new managers, nothing has changed yet. David Moyes,Louis van Gaal,Jose Mourinho,Ole Gunnar Solskjaer,Ralf Rangnick,Erik ten Hag, and now Ruben Amorim. Who’s more to blame for bad results? The manager or the players? Or even the board, who lack a vision for Manchester future. I'd say without blinking an eye,the latter to blame. Money talks.
@PunterBloke The root of the problem is the Glazers but, money considerations aside, the practical issue that needs to be solved is ye issue of Player Power. Did you see Rashford on the bench, tonight? The way he portrayed himself; pure arrogance. "Why am I, the mighty Marcus Rashford, sitting on the bench !?!" He should be sprinting up and down the sidelines, foaming at the mouth, dong cartwheels to convince Amorim to put him on! And this terrible, terrible Player Power mentality has continued- probably channelled through the Academy- since Ferguson left.
@RichieRochdale How do you as a Manager change that Player Culture? I don't know.
I'm glad that Bookmakers never change their mind concerning the ''Big Clubs'', considering them as favorites no matter how they perform during a period of time. Odds >2.50 for Newcastle win was a Christmas gift.
Ah, these Man United players---. They love their sports cars, they love their WAGS, they love their big mansions in Cheshire---. Do any of them actually have any love in their hearts for Man United?
Enjoyable
lol yoro looks like something from billy smarts circus
Even the woodwork are pissed off.
Man U is garbage
Well, I had Newcastle To Win and BTTS. Why did I think United could even score---? :( :( :(
Who else noticed the big gap in the midfield due to Fernandes's absence?
@PunterBloke Eriksen is crippled, dunno why they hired him
@koziol.mutant what about Zirkzee? In my eyes, he doesn't even look as a football player.
@PunterBloke he is good between the lines, but looked as lost today lol as all of them
@PunterBloke In fairness to Zirkzee, every one of his teammates was just as bad as him in the first half, :(
@PunterBloke Yep, United were already screwed but no Bruno deff no party
The board should send scouters to Brazil & Argentina and look in the lower divisions to find cheap players who can replace the bunch of schmuck players at Manchester United. Just a suggestion.
so far the worst Man Utd team ever, no ideas in offense, defense, transition, or positioning.
@koziol.mutant and if there is a chance = awful miss

he he maguire created the space foe newcastles 2nd
Man United. S**tbag Team, s**tbag mentality.
If both neighbors of Manchester Clubs move to relegation, the PL would look splendid and skip the greedy ownership of Man U and the aroused starship of Man City.
he he maguire is newcastles 12th man lol
Now it seems the VAR got paranoid, after every goal coming from a cross, they need to review it. Believe me, football can survive without the VAR service, and we can enjoy the beauty as we did it during a century.
@PunterBloke nope
Isak TSA +160
@KingKeno Within five minutes !!!
@KingKeno that was quick
MAN UTD Onana, Yoro, Maguire, Martinez, Mazraoui, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot, Diallo, Fernandes, Hojlund.
@Marbella SUBS Bayindir, Rashford, Malacia, Yoro, Garnacho, Antony, Mainoo, Collyer, Kukonki.
NEWCASTLE Dubravka, Trippier, Schar, Burn, Hall, Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton, Murphy, Isak, Gordon.
@Marbella SUBS Vlachodimos, Barnes, Osula, Livramento, Almiron, Kelly, Willock, Longstaff, Miley.
0-2
3-0 NC, Man United is trash
1:2
alexaner isak to score best bet here
Mourinho would be an awesome choice for Manchester United's new coach: two losers would find one another. Of course, Mourinho is smarter than to accept a job at Manchester United: he always makes sure to have attacking talent upfront like Dzeko at Fenerbahce. What's sad is that even when we consider the age of Dzeko, Manchester United has no forward of Dzeko's caliber and Mourinho knows how to position himself in winning teams.
@Zoltan Hojlund has all the assets to play for Amorim in a similar way to Gyokeres at Sporting but the kid has bought into the Loser Mentality of this Man United squad.
okej seems things changed this shet end draw .
Manchester United problems not base on manager even if appointed Arne Slot as manager he can't do anything for the club...Soo Manchester United board to go in the market to bring new faces if not no manager can solve the Manchester United problem.....3:1 win for castle
1-1 Game !
Draw game!
Newcastle DNB @ 1.90 Odds
man utd are only making up the numbers this year they have too many crappy overated players
@Cardiffcityfacup Most of the Players bought over the last few years were bought to accommodate Ten Hag's Vision of playing. Unfortunately, due to the Player Culture already existing within that Man United squad, we can't say if they are crappy or not TBH. Their mentality is, "Can't play, won't play."
BTTS
Manchester United to win 2-1, Newcastle will score first through Isak, assisted my Murphy. Marzroui will score the equalizer and Newcastle will score own goal.
@Leproffy ya dreamin
@Leproffy That's a very impressive Prediction!
@Leproffy did u dream it
3-1 for newcastle. Isak TSA
Haha if u are dumb go for home
if that's the home team line-up then 3-2 or 2-2
Newcastle united to win and Isak or Gordon to score
EVERY single Manager since Ferguson can't be wrong. Clearly, the problem at Man United is the Player Culture. I know that we're in the Age Of The Spoiled Bas***d Player but it's at its most apparent here. Sir Jim has to sort out the Academy first before he can sort out the Team- their poor mentality is being transmitted by the Academy Players. This Team IS good enough to Win here, Amorim IS good enough to Win here but I still expect a Newcastle victory TBH.
@RichieRochdale seems most of the players think they are new CR7 too soon. Rashford after 1 very good season, now Garnacho, Mainoo. They try too much individually instead of as a team. Also, the transfer policy to buy garbage from Bayern is telling itself.
@koziol.mutant This new Manager needs to offload Rashford A.S.A.P. and, I'm sorry to say it, Garnacho too. Amorim needs to be allowed to buy, at least, the spine of his own Team and there's not too many Man United Players I would describe as "untouchable" in terms of selling to buy that spine.
@RichieRochdale Garnacho is actually top talent, I would give him a chance, he just needs to stay humble. Also, he has some difficulties playing in this new system unlikely Diallo.
@koziol.mutant I agree that Garnacho is a top talent but, from the outside looking in, he appears to be in the "problematic" gang. For that reason alone, get rid of him and bring in some cold, hard cash! Diallo- I would describe as untouchable. However, it seems as if Amorim is looking at the Goalkeeping Department first before the rest of the squad---.
both to score+over 2.5.
The only successful united will win here
