He wouldn't get in our team either.

They must have signed the wrong player.

Fred would struggle to get in most PL teams on present form,but he's not the only one,and this sums up Man Utd's predicament,whoever the gaffer is they need a major overhaul of their entire squad,but that takes several transfer windows,their recruitment policy has been dreadful for years,Ed Woodward has to go surely,and a real director of football appointed before United completely implode,it would be hilarious if they went down to the Championship,BTW i don't think that'll happen,that said their results over the last 20 games or so = relegation.

Relegation won’t happen but the top 10/12 might just be a struggle. There are teams like Us, West Ham, Bournemouth, Palace who have better options all over the pitch. Not forgetting the other top 6 plus Leicester and Wolves.

**** poor management by Ole.

signed the wrong player, appointed the wrong manager, owned by the wrong people.

The usual start of a decline.Sign good players who don’t perform:Pogba, Sanchez,Fred,Bailly, Lindelhof. Young players who lose confidence. Injuries. Poor board, poor exec, poor manager.
Richest club in the world you know.

Didn't we once beat or at least draw against Man City a few years ago (2009/10) and there was mention that one of their players, I think Robiniho, earned more per week than everyone associated with BFC combined?

Get sucked into buying expensive foreign players with exotic sounding names (Fred!!???) by clever pushy agents who know you've got plenty in the dry powder store, only to find they're no better than decent Championship players who would play for half the money and come for half the fee. But it keeps the fans believing you're ambitious!!! :roll:

To be fair Lindelhof appears to be a 100%er he's just maxed out skillwise. Bailly's always injured. Not necessarily his fault or is it, he's their Defour conundrum.

Pogba just seems to be poison.

Sanchez doing well at Inter?

Think Bailly's 'injury' problems are more down to a habit he has which when found by club tends to result in mysterious 3 month lay offs.

Is that true?!! Makes our not checking Andre Gray's Twitter pail into insignificance then as a form of due diligence
