Im dreading going up against Chelsea , Liverpool or City with this lot. Sadly , he cannot turn this around and he looks defeated too. Think he will go during the international break

Replace the manager with who though?

Look at all the players in the squad. Outside of De Gea, Bailly and possibly Pogba and Martial, which players would a new manager want to challenge in order to challenge the likes of City and Barca?

So much averageness - Sanchez, Matic, Mata, Shaw, Lukaku, Fred etc. They would need about 8 new players and its not clear the funds would be available for that.

Cant see the utd job being that attractive tbh.

If he's going to be sacked I'd do it now before the Newcastle game. We may get a sense of optimism going into that which can give us a boost as we go into the break.

Does anyone actually believe he will go? The day I pick up my phone or turn on the telly and see he's been sacked will still be a shock, ed will probably wait till our season has no chance of being saved.. only 7 games into the premier league season.. sack him now and we could get top 4 and atleast a better style of play..

Doesn't matter if/when he goes.

The rot set in from before SAF even left. No long term plan AT ALL.

Giving managers/coaches such ridiculously short periods to turn an initially ageing squad (and then one that was full of young but drossy players) into something competitive in a league like the epl is almost the worst kind of directorial decision making.

On the books at the moment United have one player that is a genuine improvement to what they replaced since 2010. Funnily enough bought in by Jose.

If/when Jose goes then EVERY player should also go. Bar, perhaps, jones smalling and lukaku, who really can't be held as responsible as so many others. Many of them are far greater issues than Jose is. Indeed, some of them have had three coaches that they have performed 5hit for. Demonstrating that it's really not his fault if the players are not good enough - and they just aren't.

Plus, I don't go with this garbage about the style of play being more important than results. I watched United between 1968 and 1992 consistently playing, easily, the most exhilarating and attractive kind of football of any top flight club, and winning eff all in the process. Liverpool conversely mastered the art of ugly and had the most successful period in their history.

If United (of any club) don't get the basics right then exhilarating football is a long way down the agenda. And that is so true of this current squad.

United, as a club, may feel that getting rid of all those that are just average alongside those that are cr@p is too drastic, but something has to be done to get rid iof detritus like herrera, lingard, martial, rashford without causing their perceived value from depreciating too obviously.

It matters little whether he stays or goes, it matters little who replaces him. With such poor quality, poor charactered, and clueless players in the first team the club is in much greater trouble than the deepest naysayers are prepared to tread

Only yesterday you were claiming it was plastic not to back your manager.

You contradict yourself more than your namesake.

Glad I didn't make the effort to go last night, even though tickets were paid for.

Very annoying but what a load of trash that was, yet again.

I thought you lot always sold out champions league games Erik.

That’s what stockport always says.

Tickets were available on the turnstiles. Don’t be deluded to think that these tickets were paid for and people opted not to attend.

comment by MBL. (U6305)

They were contacting fans to say tickets were available

So the myth that united always sell out in the champions league has been blown to smitherines.

Or will stockport say these empty seats are different 😂

Ed should go. He’s responsible for this easily as much as Jose, if not more.

What was the official attendance?

Usually its just the north north quadrants (which are crap seats) left.

We did sell most of them seats though. Can't you read? People chose not to go despite paying.

Your fans don't even pay for them or go.

I’ll give you De Gea, he’s quality for Utd but the other 3?

I hear and see the adds all the time on the radio. 3 games for £50, kids go in for a fiver etc.

My ticket last night cost me almost as much as City can sell 3 group games for.

And we're forgetting the important bit. Your team has nevy been as good as it is right now. Why would you all not want to be there to witness it?

No you didn’t because the club was texting fans to say you pay on the gate.

They wouldn’t do that if most tickets had been sold.

Just admit it you didn’t even come close to selling out 😂

Deal with it.

I have said there were some left. Never said it was a sell out. But we do have 75,000 seats to sell.

I was there. Quite a few of you lot didn't go to Lyon at home. So how on earth you can take the moral high ground makes me laugh.
