    Don't mind Gary Neville. Seen him loadsa times tearing strips oot the tories for food banks and stopping benefits and stuff. He's passionate about man u for sure though

    Which is completely fine tbh. I only mean to say it shouldn’t be a Ten Hag vs Rodgers ‘better manager’ debate.

    I know virtually nothing about Ten Hag so I can’t really comment.

    What I would say is I think very few managers would be right for the specific job needing done at Man Utd, for obvious reasons.

    The early signs are obviously bad, both in results and at the club in general.

    I don’t doubt he’s a very good manager, though.

    Conte would have been perfect to sort out the toxic dressing room, but he'd still have been shafted by the board/owners.

    The fact they never went for him when he was available tells you everything.

    Thing is aswell, as big a club as man United are, the top players that they need want to be at teams that are challenging for titles and performing well on the European stage, so majorly of them probably wouldn’t touch Man U with a barge pole at the moment

    Brentford midfield and attack put there’s to shame in terms of work-rate, same story last week against Brighton too.

    Missing some leaders, grafters and a flair player or two in the side.

    I’d be going all out for Nkunku and Antony for the flair. Maybe someone like Ruben Neves or Matheus Nunes for CM. Dumfries or Frimpong for RB. Lafont for GK.

    Would try cash in on Sancho, Rashford and Ronaldo the now and try to recoup £110m or so.

    Ten Hag set himself up to fail when he kept Maguire as captain he should be nowhere near the squad. They genuinely need to sell everyone and start again not one of their players gets in any of the top teams in Englands sides.

    Gary Neville is a * as well funny how he isn't on his freedom fighting crusade for all of football now no English teams are involved with the super league

    I think Man United will likely have a problem that the salaries are likely very high. Would any of their squad today earnt less than 60k? I bet most are on at least double. They have some good players, but nobody is buying them and then matching the wages.

    What was that strip?

    It is Man Utd! If you walk on to a pitch dressed in the latest corporate pyjamas that look like casual beach wear then you are already at a disadvantage.

    I hate some of the efforts our kit manufacturers foist on us year on year. Each team should play in their traditional home kit as often as possible and the away kit should be a recognised themed alternative that players wear with pride, not the product of some designer who pays no heed to the history of a club and the players look like five year olds at soccer school.

    The Man Utd effort today was worse than the “ruined in the wash” grey abomination worn at The Dell all those years ago.

    As for their team? Overpaid big headed * jockeys and they should have employed Potter as manager.

    The whole team, board and fans are a bunch of fannies. Highly amusing.

    Lisandro Martinez is an idiotic signing.

    You need to be really * special to be able to cope with the EPL as a 5ft 9, slight CB.

    Doesn't help that he has Maguire beside him mind.

    Here, speaking of the kit - when I got in yesterday and turned the game on at half time that was the first time I’d even seen that green effort from them. It’s actually NOT the worst strip I’ve ever seen, but * me it’s far to close to being the same colour as the grass on the pitch, at times I was watching it and it just looked like heads floating about :56::56::56:

    What is that nonsense English football fans shout when a keeper’s taking a goal kick?

    Seriously embarrassing stuff. Worse than the Yanks.

    Looks like you’ve been beaten to it by at least 1,000 others.
