and after around £300 million spent in three years, around £700 million spent since 2013 we find ourselves:
- 6th, 19 points off first place
- 11 points off 4th place Chelsea
- Just five points ahead of Brighton in 13th
- Same goal difference as newly promoted Wolves, and WHU and Leicester.
- A worse GD than Everton
And that’s all before you get onto style of play...
It’s the 16th December, less than halfway through the league season, can we just stop and think about that for a second, please.
I’m not sure what to say about today because we’ve said it all, numerous times over the last few years, the same problems still persist and we all know what they are. We just keep going ‘round in circles, at least that counts as a “direction" though, I guess.
16th December...

It could be worse.

Here's hoping. I'm crossing my fingers Jose gets the full season.

I'd rather be in Wolves' position than Utd's.
Clear system of playing controlled, attacking football.
Optimism on the pitch, boardroom and in the stands for a team on the rise.
I'd snap your arm off for Doherty, Neves, Dendoncker, Traore and Moutinho.

Happy as a pig in shat right now.
You could probably get Dendoncker as i don't think he is going to be staying with us and you can have Traore as he simply isn't good enough for this level as a regular starter.

The thing that baffles me with the board's decision to retain Jose is the fact Jose clearly doesn't even care if he gets the sack anymore. He's always miserable, sounds defeated and just looks fed up.

I have never seen a united team so bad at keeping the ball.
The players movement off the ball is pure lethargy.
They aren’t playing for the manager just like Jose’s last season at Chelsea.

Thing is Utd are so poor every game is a potential banana skin.
Cardiff away? Tough.
Huddersfield home? Tough,
No easy points for them

Jesse Lingard's strike for Manchester United is the Red Devils' first Premier League goal at Anfield since Wayne Rooney netted the winner back in January 2016.

I like how they troll us with that stat. Liverpool hadn't scored for even longer lol.
