    United sign Edinson Cavani

    He was getting nowhere near that last season and hence he got sacked. I like Poch, I just don’t think he’s a manager you want in charge if you want to win things. Will he steady a ship and have us competing for top 4 again? Yeah, but Ole’s done that. Will he get us winning league titles and...

    That’s not actually true. Ole has some wins as a manager. Maybe in a lesser league but he’s shown he knows how to get over the line and how to win a cup final. Poch hasn’t won a single thing as a manager. Not one. It’s amazing the way people elevate his status. The guy had one of the best...

    United sign Edinson Cavani

    Do you think after watching Liverpool so far this season they’ll get anywhere near last seasons points total? If this team doesn’t get fourth and I’m an Ole lifer but it’s time for him to walk. As I said I believe we’ve got the third best team in the league so anything less than that he’s...

    No. One off games don't prove things like that at all. Aston villa just tore Liverpool a new one with a much weaker side. Is Dean Smith much superior to Klopp? However Mourinho is one of the best managers about. He also couldn't cope with this board. And just to back up my point about De Gea...

    United sign Edinson Cavani

    Spurs CB's are worse than ours. Both their right backs are woeful defensively and their midfield contains a midfielder that could no longer make the Southampton side (who I like) and Harry 'sideways or backwards' Winks. If you offered Mourinho Maguire tomorrow for £40m he'd snap your hand off.

    And much better than the team that competed for the first half of last season leaving us 15 points off the pace that we managed to pull back in the second half once we had Pogba and Fernandes. This team should be a top 4 side. We’ve got the third best starting 11 in the league even with this...

    Maguire was right. They did review it. A player can’t instruct the ref to go and have a look the man in the VAR box has to. He reviewed it and decided there was no need for the ref to have a look. Terrible decision.

    That’s not what I said at all. I’m saying if we’re dropping Maguire on that performance, Lindelof can’t come in based on his and the next two in line are Bailly and Tuanzebe. Are you suggesting Lindelof should be immune and shouldn’t be dropped after his shockers against Brighton and Palace?
