Marcus Rashford - signed on loan (injured - out for season?)

[AV84]

Given that's the case with several players who left before Amorim arrived, I imagine it's more to do with the club than Amorim specifically.

The fact Amorim, having a good time at a decent club, chose to go to Man U when he did, on their terms, and seems to have played ball with them since, says a lot about him, I think. Maybe he's just bitten off more than he can chew and was nieve in his self belief, but if ever a job was a poison chalice, it was this one at this time. Agree you can't blame him for things that went on before he was there, but I think he's happily hitched his wagon to their mess and is now as much a part of the problem.

Add the distraction of a new stadium and it could be a fantastic few years for them.

I enjoy how much the mock up of the stadium looks like a big top.

Talk today that his goal last night, by hitting the ball into the ground causing the ball to "dink" over the keeper, was a deliberate action.

I have watched it about 15 times and cannot be sure?

[Drummond]

Ronaldo did similar stuff.

I don't care and I doubt he will, a goal is a goal.

Sir Graham once said something along the lines of the bigger the ship, the harder it was to turn around.  These wankers have been telling everyone how big they are for as long as I can remember, so let's hope that's the case.

Hopefully the likes of Rashford, Antony and Elanga thriving away from that circus puts any half decent players off signing for them, unfortunately money talks.

I think the horse bolted on that some time ago and they've been paying top player prices for second rate players.

It's brilliant.

It's a big old rudderless cruise ship. There's more crew than passengers and they are all working on their own.

i've watched it a few times , does look intentional to me

The Beeb comments section for our matches has a lot of ManU fans giving Rashford grief rather than realising that their utterly shit manager is a big problem as to why they're so shite.

[Somniloquism]

He tried to put the ball into the net, he put the ball into the net. He probably didn't mean to slightly over-run the ball, but couldn't knock it forward as the keeper was so far out. But he definitely meant to clip it over the keeper somehow as he had gone down early.

I think the ball held up and got under his feet unexpectedly, he tried to dink it but hit it into the ground.
He scored because he got himself there.
Who cares.

Yup, all of that.

If you're in that position and you're trying to get the ball over a goalkeeper running towards you just lift it over him. You don't think about knocking it into the ground on the off chance he might dive towards you at around the same time.

It doesn't make it a worse goal if he didn't plan every precise movement of the ball at every moment.

[VillaTim]

Does it matter .

Ozil used to see it.
