The old Man Utd Thread

He's generally played on the right this season, although he's always been a central striker for the youth team and reserves. He tends to start on the right or come on as one of a disorganised mass of forwards thrown on in desperation when we're chasing a game. Obviously in those latter cases it's quite difficult to tell where he's supposed to be playing. He's usually the one that gets a goal in those situations though. 

 

Thanks!

Can he bang goals in for fun inside the area?

more likely to get a 20 year old goalkeeper for the u23's...

@JPLill just quote myself :p

[5R7]

[feltmonkey]

Looks like we might get Ighalo on loan.  I don't know if he's declined while he's been playing in China, but he was class at Watford.  I'm not against it.

[feltmonkey]

Ha, simultaneous posts! 

[spork]

Apparently he had 33 in 82 appearances at Watford. Lacazette is on 32 in 82 for Arsenal.

 

Could be worse I guess? 

[5R7]

its desperation, it smacks of desperation, its pathetic, its NOT Utd!

*waits to eat words as he scores ALL the goal"

[ckny]

It smacks of desperation, but we’re desperate. We needed a striker, we got a striker.

[Mr Do 71]

We need top four.

[Yobo Ahoy]

I just can't wait to see dat scoop again. 

 

 

He comes with a sweet chant to the tune of 'Gold' by Spandau Ballet too. 

[feltmonkey]

I actually thought when he was playing for Watford that he was destined for greater things, and that it was a shame he decided to go to China and play in a much inferior league.  Dunno, at least we got someone.

[Gabzy]

This makes me happy. He's had a tough time but he seems to be really turning a new leaf.

Chelsea have dropped points again today, so we really need to capitalise on that to be in with a chance of a top four finish. I feel like I say this every week, yet we aren’t any closer to them.

[JPL]

Fernandes starts. Nice.

[5R7]

The fact the Chelsea have dropped points, clearly means we will too!

 

So Bruno, chucked straight in then!

What better time to give him his debut than against his home country?

[5R7]

well...Bruno is alrite aint he?!

[Stevie]

His first game and only had a training session or two with the team. I think hes going to be brilliant. 

[Loik V credern]

Hopefully someone will compile a Fernandes vs Wolves individual highlights video so we can go through it in slow motion and try to identify the exact moment he regrets moving to United. 
 

joking, i’m optimistic he’ll shoot from outside the box and get the ball roughly within 10 feet of the goal, a new thrill for us. I am genuinely optimistic, a ball player who is confident. just watching United gets you down. I just want stuff to happen. 

[feltmonkey]

What I like is how he's pointing, telling the players around him what to do. As a player making his debut having just made a step up from the Portuguese league to the Premier league, that's fantastic. 

[spork]

Odds on Bruno getting a red card on his debut? 

[Stevie]

I can watch Bissaka tackle all day.

Good job because he can’t do much else

[feltmonkey]

Did you post that just after he skinned their fullback and put in a beautiful cross to create the best chance of the match? 

[JPL]

They really don’t want 4th place (or even 5th now), do they?

Not claiming to be making any hot takes, Man Utd are fucking shit and I’m just enjoying it :).
