Default THIS IS MANCHESTER UNITED #142 (2019/20) - Our Hearts, Our Hopes, Our Dreams

THIS is MANCHESTER UNITED thread

It is Manchester United, Man Utd or simply UNITED

Keep the topics to Manchester United and our next opponents...or anything newsworthy related to football.

We will focus on positive support for our club and refrain from negative remarks on our rivals.

Name calling, taunting on other teams are frowned upon.

All are welcome in this thread

Default New Season

With the transfer season for incoming players now closed,
and with the players we now have,
what do you hope we can achieve ?

I had hoped that we sign one midfielder, one of either
Bruno Fernandes or Sergej Milinkovic-Savic
but alas, it was not meant to be
Hope at least one youngster break through this season

I'll be happy if we play attractive football, in the top four whole season and win one cup ......

Great results with added surprise of 4 goals scored. New signings Wan-Bissaka and Maguire did well. James scored on his debut and his pace and dribbling will trouble other teams.

First half wasn't great but the play improved in the second half when there were players around to pass the ball to when we had possession. Improvement is still required but it is a great start to the season.

As Zouma continued to stay on the pitch, I felt more confident as he was a walking disaster for Chelsea.

On impressiveness, Based on week 1, 2 Manchester joint 1st. Man city has easier opponent but away. United opposite in both factors.

Liverpool had easiest opponent at home.

Spurs, only consolation is Kane scored.

Arsenal and Chelsea look outside top 4.

Another 37 matches to change the season, it’s going to be fun.

The engine is still not working well. McTominay needed better support from players between the midfield and forward line.

OLS has to work hard on the midfield dept as if there will not be any new recruit joining us in Jan 2020.

We have recruited Bisaka and Maguire to reinfore backline.
With current Rashford and Martial lead the front and academy Greenwood backup.
We still fall short in midfield. Though PP is still with us but good to invest replacement for Herrera and Fellani.
A good attacking midfielder to command passes and attack.
Read DDG has not sign contract extensiom.
