    Unless United does a top to bottom overhaul of the organization, this dire football will continue.

    May that overhaul never happen and their club dies of their own hubris.

        How United manages to find such unlikeable characters through the years is beyond me…him and Garnacho are so hateable

          It’s the only thing they are good at! Add Antony to the list and you have the three Stooges haha

            The video of that FA Cup final shootout way back popped up on my feed the other day…Scholes, Keane, Cristiano…god there were so many wankers on that team.

    What is actually going on with United, they’re leaving Varane and Lindelof on the bench just to play Shaw out of position alongside Dalot out of position, also starting an 18 year old (who tbf is good) over a guy they just loaned in to play there, among many other things

    Kinda glad Foord, Catley and Cooney-Cross didn’t start for the Matildas in their shellacking by Canada

      As an Aussie, I wish we did play a slightly stronger team as Canada came out with 7 or 8 of their Olympic winning squad. Tony Gustavsson did 100% make the right move though - the Matilda’s are getting older and we need some new blood. At the end of the day, the game wasn’t important so hopefully the learnings get applied for the next one.

        Iirc read somewhere that that’s a thing that happens because you end up putting too much strain on the other leg and hurting it, still frustrating though
