    Champions League 2023/24 - Group A: United, Bayern, Copenhagen, Galatasaray

    We should be qualifying out of that group without much difficulty, but we’re not leaving Hell or Munich with all 3 points so there’s a lot of pressure to be perfect at home and hope that Bayern run the table. I think we’re going to make this a lot harder than it should be.

    Champions League 2023/24

    Other than Group F, the top two seeds should be making it out of their groups. It usually doesn’t happen like that, but it’s hard to see where the shocks are coming from. United or Feyenoord perhaps?

    Left backs on loan

    Can somebody please remind the board that we are actually the second biggest club in the entire world, and need to start acting like it instead of making a mockery of ourselves? If we are actually up against the FFP wall, why were we screwing around with outgoings? Somebody is going to give us...

    Ryan Gravenberch

    I have no idea if Gravenberch is going to be more van der Beek or more van Basten, but it is rather annoying watching our rivals identify a problem in their squad, and addressing it properly by bringing in multiple options instead signing a half measure on the cheap and praying he can work...

    Liverpool Discussion 2023/24

    Not sure that money is there for Salah next summer. A large portion of it is probably to tempt Liverpool into selling so late in the window. Would anyone take 150m for Bruno right now, with no replacement possible?

    Brighton Discussion 2023/24

    I’m assuming this is tongue in cheek, but I wouldn’t put it past Paddy Power.

    Sofyan Amrabat

    Apparently Liverpool are interested in Ndidi, which means he’s signing for Chelsea. I’d gladly take a punt on him and see if he can recover some form. We got Mount, Onana and Hoijlund over the line without much fuss and have suddenly reverted to type with Amrabat. Lots of agent noise trying to...

    Raphaël Varane | Match Discussion Thread 2023/24

    Varane. Just healthy enough to ensure Maguire doesn’t play and just crooked enough to ensure Maguire doesn’t leave. You’d have to think it’s one more season of this and then off to the Saudi Pro League. Hopefully.

    Left backs on loan

    Not sure how reliable he is, but I’d have preferred an option to buy.

    Dean Henderson to Forest?

    Henderson completed his medical at Palace. Done deal. Finally.

    Left backs on loan

    If we’re looking at cover it probably means Shaw is going to be out for an extended period, which is worrying as he is integral to how we play. None of those options fill me with any confidence, but this late in the window we’ve not got much choice. I’d almost rather just play Fernandez than...

    Dean Henderson to Forest?

    Any keeper moving to a new league will take time to settle. He is so different to what we had with DdG that our defenders and midfielders will need time to learn tendencies and new patterns of play. You can’t prove a negative. There’s no way to know if DdG plays us into trouble and we concede...

    Glazers to consider selling Manchester United? Official: Ratcliffe Acquires 25% of United shares

    Couldn't be anything happening that the club wants to distract from or a protest planned for the weekend.
