No problems at United, they're an excellent team with the best owners. Keep it up

[annbuckley]

Rory’s blank stare as he says, “yeah, there’s a lot of instability” is Oscar worthy

Adam : Utd in crisis
Rory : Chelsea in crisis
Buffet : I'll get my popcorn and enjoy these two 😁

[amirpepper]

I'm absolutely loving life with the glazers in charge

[nabilshafec]

Problem is simple, literally no structure, no planning and Owners who don’t want to change.. long may it continue

[AdamMcKola]

Who needs enemies when you've got friends making thumbnails like that...

I like Ten Hag, but this result was on him. Pretty much all the players performed badly. It was not mainly McTominay and Eriksens fault. It was how they were used.

[swhi]

10 shots on target, 7 goals conceded. Some stat that… but don’t worry, he’s good with his feet

[ryanschultz]

I noticed Adam conveniently didn't mention Rashford's selfishness! Time after time he took ill advised shots. When crossing the ball, or cutting it back would've been a better option.

When are we going to realise that bigger price on a player just doesn’t mean they’re a better player these days. Late 90s/early 2000s, all these world class players taking advantage of the new age fitness is what made them tower over the last generation, now we’re in a generation of more physically fit but less mental maturity, and that’s what nobody at untied is looking at, or Chelsea tbh .

Problem is that Webb retired back in 2013

[bored_grape]

Rashford:
doesn't tracks back,
helps in the build up,
garbage in aerial duels,
doesn't wins the ball back.
Why isn't he the problem?

[reisssato]

When Arteta had the same issues with a tighter budget, these lot gave him no chance and it was all about banta, now the same is happing with Ten Hag, it's excuses and logic 😂

[FLASK]

I saw this coming a mile away, United were a bad team that over achieved last year, and they're a bad team this year.

[tomm]

United have a squad of rotten, self serving individuals, that is the problem. RR was right when he said the club needed open heart surgery and he was mocked. It's no exaggeration to say United need to gut the squad, sell around 10-15 players, and start from fresh. Otherwise they will continue to turn on manager after manager every few seasons

[nabazaheer]

Brighton sells all their best players. You can’t say that Brighton ownership is better than United’s. It’s DELUSIONAL!

[kunalchowdhary]

There's the "optimistic" fan .... and then there's Adam McKola who is the more delusional than Ten Hag!

[masonchallinor]

Not seen it yet, but I’m guessing Adam blames the Glazers for it & doesn’t blame Erik Ten Excuses at all

[siiir]

United’s biggest mistake was giving Ten Hag all the power and not forcing him to work with Rangnick.
You can make fun of Rangnicks coaching abilities (even though he wasn’t worse then Ole or Ten Hag), but the man clearly knows how to build clubs from the ground, integrate a structure and culture and make great sporting decisions.
United went from overpaying for English and prem players to overpaying for Dutch league/Scandinavian players

[hamzaesat]

How did United fans predict them to win/challenge for the league when their “ownership structure” is so bad?

If the performances and results have been poor compared to your initial lofty prediction, the entirety of the blame is only on the manager and the players!

We all expected Brighton to win, and is that because The Glazers still own the club?
I don’t see what type of football philosophy Ten Hag is trying to implement. No pressing, no intensity, no creativity. Completely the opposite style of the football he showcased at Ajax.
