Manchester United’s loss in the derby day was not surprising. What is a surprise was the team selection, the positions they played and the substitutions made. What the hell was ETH thinking? There is a significant difference in skill level between the two clubs. City players seem to be comfortable with their positions and know what they are doing, while United players appear as though they have never seen a ball before. Certain players like Rashford have no right to be on the pitch. Why the manager continues to play him is a mystery. What does he think is going to happen? Rashford has been crap in every game this season, at least he is consistent. The manager playing players out of their position, and why does he do that.

Same, every year
Seems like a normal result between two teams fighting for the same ‘Top 4’ position.
United are predictable and toothless. No ball winners, or incredible athletes, or any variation. Erikson, Mount, Fernandes, McTominay are all the same. No physical power, or ability to control the game/tempo. I’d hoped the new forward would add another dimension to their attack, but he’s crocked already. Rashford isn’t comfortable leading the line. Quite why a club of United’s stature doesn’t have a proven goal scorer can only been a result of long-term mismanagement. Every year I hear rumours of United possible title challenge, either because of players bought or the new manager being Guardiola 2.0.
Yes, United is a gigantic club in stature but not so much on the pitch, at least for the last decade or so. Too many expensive mistakes and it will take more than a few transfers or a new coach to change that. It will take years and a series of good decisions in every area of the club to bring them back to the top. Until then, 4th place is a good place to finish.

7-0
The score was an outlier. While difficult to swallow, let’s not overreact. This match was down to a rampant Liverpool, and the ending scoreline as the result of sleepwalking. Casemiro and Rashford have been superb for United this season and I think that’s glossed over some weaknesses that have been exposed last night. A good wakeup call for ten Hag, he’s only at the start of his rebuild, he’s made good progress but there’s an awful long way to go.

Derby disaster!
City are good, very good. But that was an absolute spanking. Another reminder of the gulf between the two Manchester clubs.
Manchester United as a club is still a complete mess, with nothing to recommend it but revenue streams and a glorious recent history, becoming less recent with each passing season. You can’t argue that the players aren’t fit enough – United have a collection of magnificent athletes, some of whom boast the best physical statistics in the league.
United haven’t had good enough managers. It’s very hard to find the right manager. It took Liverpool a very long time. How long did it take Spurs before they got Pochettino? Arsenal are still trying. This is not a unique United problem. Most of the appointments made sense given the alternatives available. But they didn’t work out. Now the whole football world knows United are looking for a new manager, so we will hopefully have a bigger field to choose from this summer. Either of the top two names currently being mentioned (Pochettino, ten Hag) would be much better than any of United’s previous post-Ferguson managers, in my opinion.

Ole out!
I’ve always been Ole In but I really am starting to think that a change is now needed. United aren’t where they should be with the players they have. The United team is set up to attack but conversely is not set up to prevent counter attacks against them. The midfield is a problem as none of them are specialist holding or defensive minded players and do not offer any protection whilst they are concentrating on foraging forward. Leicester have been awful this season but they were the better side today.
United have also been knocked out the League Cup by West Ham, lost at home to Villa, couldn’t beat Everton and lost to Young Boys, it’s all very depressing.

Spoiled fans!
Manchester United supporters have been spoiled over the past couple of decades. You watch your team at Old Trafford expecting a win regardless of the opposition. You start the season in August expecting at least one trophy come May. Do we have stupidly high expectations? Yes, of course we do. Rivals fans can blame that on arrogance or whatever else, but the reason is we have become accustomed to winning something almost every season.

The right team picked, the right players in their right positions, and we had champagne football in the first half. And what a performance from RVP in that first 30 mins, absolutely stunning volley, perfect technique. A beautiful moment
Rooney played some sparkling balls, but I hope SAF doesn’t see Rooney’s future in the midfield, to me he will always be a striker and that’s where he’s at his most lethal, 5 kgs weight loss, and he’ll regain his strike form provided he’s played upfront.
In the end just got one thing to say

CHAMP19NS! Well deserved 19th title
19.
Done.
I’m not too big a man to admit that I’m crying a little here…
We as United fans (or at least I) celebrate this title with all due respect to the great Liverpool teams of the past, who achieved something so incredible few people imagined they could be surpassed, and certainly not this soon.
A good rivalry is something to cherish, but there’s a line between rivalry and bitterness. We’ve had many a feud with Blackburn, Newcastle, Arsenal, Chelsea, City and recently Liverpool again, and I believe those rivalries have only made my team stronger.
I do not hate Liverpool so bad nor wish them anything particularly foul. The simple truth is that for my team to win, others have to lose, and I’m OK with that. To all other teams, chin up and use United’s success as something to aspire to and perhaps even surpass one day.
Here’s to all champions, past present and future.

Why I hate Liverpool FC!!
I am a Manchester United supporter since I begin to watch English Premier League. it’s been a long I’ve been supporting them. One of my friend is a Liverpool fan. Probably he is a greater football manic than me. his room is all covered by his favourite football team. i never hated Liverpool team. I never cared about any other team than Manchester United, and I never need to care about other teams. Manchester United is the most successful club in England. But in every Saturday and Sunday, we have a verbal war. He can’t see my teams wining. If my team performs bad, draws match or loses, i have to answer his every question. For this sometimes I need to switch my mobile off. he just criticize me no matter what happens in the game. Because of his mood I slowly begin to have some negative feeling about the team he supports. After all Liverpool are the greatest rivals of Manchester united. Both the teams have history of bitter rivalry. But since he begin to talk too much about his team, Liverpool are certainly the most hatred team for me. I never watch their match but begin to wish that they lose their every game. Amazingly this season, my wish seem to come true. I am writing this after their home defeat to the newly promoted Blackpool. Now they are languishing to the bottom of the table. they are in the drop zone. It may be too harsh for Liverpool fan, but i want to see them relegated this season. Sorry, LFC fans, You have walk alone this time. And sorry friend, you have nothing to talk about football this season with me!
