      @Dion:

      As far as I can remember it was only his second final loss?

      Judging by that game it won’t be his last. United were very poor as were his team choices and subs. He increasingly seems like a spent force.

        It's not very entertaining (if at all) to watch United play recently. The second half was way better yesterday but it's fair to say everyone is always expecting more from this club. Best wishes and a speedy recovery to Sir Alex.

          some games are fantastic to watch. the comeback against city, the first few games of the season and such where the link up between lingard pogaba and co were brilliant. but then there's some where they just sit around with any penetration going from side to side.  😞 it's absolutely frustrating. i wish some players would leave soon.

          on my list:

          rashford, sanchez (unlikely), hererra are my top 3.. i wish i could give that boy rashford a chance but he's too slow and indecisive..

            The way Utd are playing is unacceptable, boring at times (maybe the majority of the time) and just plain poor.  We are the definition of underperforming with the talent on this squad and for christ's sake will we sign a fucking world class CB or two?!  Phil Jones and Chris Smalling?!  Really?!  It's a joke…forget talking about who we need to get rid of the first order of business in my book is making that back line world class.  I couldn't think of any other big club in the world who would have DeGea in goal with two sub par CB's like Jones and Smalling in front of him.  Bailly is a good start but we need two more world class CB's....and why Mourinho chose to not start Bailly is beyond me.

            With that being said...we have made steps forward since Mourinho came on but jesus....this is getting ridiculous.

              I was more entertained by the LAFC vs Portland Timbers MLS game that came on after the Cup Final.

                  Games that were entertaining to watch are an exception rather than the rule in the last years. I guess I'm still spoilt by the SAF era. I don't think Rashford, a homegrown English player, should leave by the way. He has masses of talent but Mourinho should start using him more.

                    i'm all for homegrown english players. i remember when united used to fill most all of the players in the english squad. however, rashford needs to improve. when i see him play, especially that last game against watford. he could've scored way more or set some one else up IF he didn't take an extra touch or hesitated in receiving a ball.

                    Bailly has been brilliant and kinda reminds me of vidic. but unfortunately he's injury prone. everytime he plays, i always feel like he's going to get injured either by making a tackle or tripping over himself. but he's first choice CB for me no doubt.

                      Mourinho is notorious for not developing young players, what he did to Hazard during his time at Chelsea is an example of that.

                      Rashford is a good young player but starting out of position, off the bench every week, whilst being openly criticised by your manager isn't exactly the recipe for good development.

                      That's all from me, I'll go back to watching the mighty Hatters in beautiful League One  😎

                      The devil is in the detail..

                                    Damn United are making transfer moves already.  Two quick signings with Fred and young LB Diogo Dalot.  I like the move of beefing up the defense but we still need a top notch CB or two.

                                            They were both still young (Pogba and Pique) when they left so yeah, they hadn't matured yet but no doubt they would have with time under Sir Alex. It is weird how south American players never seem to click well at United…made me think the same thing about Fred that you are.
