Watching last night - what is Ugarte meant to be doing for Man United? He's slow, small, average on the ball. PSG and Man United have spent huge money on him, lots of international experience but he has as much impact as KEA in our glory days. Ampadu outstanding again.

Ampadu was very good, still don't think he'd be good enough for our specific needs in that position. Ugarte though yeah, what's the attraction there?

He was another shiny new thing that had a bit of positive press and Redfilth fall for it all the time by spunking huge money to try and stay relevant.
Same for Hjoiland, Yoro, and many other useless fuckers - i love it

They unfortunately fixed some of that with the Cunha, Mbeumo, Sesko signings. Their defensive and midfield signings have been shite for some time.

Still reliant on a half fit Luke Shaw and Maguire. Fernandes carries them still. Emery got our approach all wrong that day at Old Trafford, still if Tammy didn't make a mess of that chance...

Carrick got a tune out of them initially, putting Fernandes into his best position wasn't exactly rocket science, but I think they will continue to drop plenty of points in the run in.

Teams are working them out, but hopefully they give him the gig full time so when they face they same rigours as everyone else next season with European and domestic fixtures he'll fall flat on his arse.

Most amusing to me was Fernandes playing a literal quarter back for the last 10 minutes.  He was the last man back and was just hoofing 40-50 yard hail-mary balls into and around the Leeds box.

I don't think their game is much more than that otherwise.

Casemiro and Sancho gone from their payroll I guess (2 disastrous signings) in summer, will free up the wage bill a good bit. Still have likes of Mount, Rashford, Zirkzee, Ugarte to try and move on, not easy with contracts they are on.

Didn't Carrick argue the Maguire incident wasn't a red card as well? And halfway through his rant he seems to have thought the red card was given on the pitch and the ref was sent to the screen to override it and didn't.

Quote
"I don't even know what it looks like. It's not a pull, it's not a tug, it's not aggressive. He touches it and he gets sent off.

"Worse of all, he gets sent to overturn it, a clear and obvious error. Shocking. He is off balance and grappling.

"We have got to be careful where the game is going. It is a shocking decision, absolutely shocking."

Yeah, I heard that and thought I hadn’t understood what actually happened because I was trying to watch the game on my phone while working. Turned out it was Carrick who misunderstood it despite being in the ground at the side of the pitch.
