Ronaldo, Varane, Bruno are all world class. Sancho, Greenwood, Rashford are among the best young players in their age group. Even if you disagree with all this, we shouldn't be getting outplayed by the teams that have been outplayed us frequently
You're letting player reputation cloud your judgement Ronaldo it's the only one of those 3 I'd call world class to a degree. Can't really disagree on the young players.
Bruno is Grealish, not necessarily in style of play, but how the team is set up for the sole purpose of inflating his numbers. Big fish in a little pond.
No denying that the side is terribly imbalanced, but managers worth their salt make proper calls.
The Pep’s and Klopp’s of the world would just never play a front 4 that we started with tonight. It was in a 4222 but fundamentally it was 2 wide forwards who don’t press; a second striker disguising himself as a no.10; and a 37 year old poacher who has no desire to play build-up.
It’s just basic common sense problems that saw the downfall of Ole and if Rangnick continues it will be the same for him.

I mean, fair enough, the guy is an interim coach and he’s literally never managed anything bigger than an Energy drink company, but these just don’t seem like massively complicated solutions.
If he wants to press from the front foot (something we’ve only seen for 30 mins vs Palace), start players like Cavani and Elanga. Players who fit a cohesive system > actual individual player quality. If he wants to play with two wide no.10’s, Bruno just can’t fit. He can’t run with the ball. If he wants his fullbacks to be massively important, Luke Shaw has to play.
Think being interim limits him a lot, can't really afford field a team with the distant future in mind, Cavani looks like his gone, Luke Shaw is out of the team for rhee same reason people are calling for Rashford and Bruno to be dropped.
Ronaldo deal looks worse by the day, brings a lot of disharmony to united, manager can't really leave him out the team, and him showing his frustration on the pitch doesn't help the rest of the team. City played a masterclass forcing Woodward's hand.
Rio was touted for the DoF role and everything he's backed united to do has been abysmal

Ever heard of De Gea aka our man of the match in 9/10 games this season
This 4222 formation is trash cus there is nobody in the center of midfield to advance the game in a creative way.
Bruno on the side didn’t work with Portugal either. But drop him and we have literally zero creativity left in our team.
Strange lineup
Would've liked to see Bailly x Varane, mostly bc I'm just sick of Maguire
Pretty much every line up this season has been a struggle line up. I get the team is kind of ass but it's ridiculous to be this far away from finding a best 11
Would've liked to see Bailly x Varane, mostly bc I'm just sick of Maguire
Varane is just back from injury
Also please get a midfielder in January
A quality midfielder. If one isn't available since its January then I'd rather we not add more Fred level players to the team
Varane is just back from injury
Yeah makes sense to rest him, Maguire's just had a bit of a mare then as well
These are the half-yearly performances that McTominay has that makes us believe there is a good player in there
Maguire is actually so bad, the first thing we need to do to move on is strip him of the captaincy and drop him

Hopefully new manager takes care of that in the summer, wouldn’t be good for the teams moral to do now

Stop this gimmick
