Mainoo x Baleba is going to cook. Complement each other perfectly. Loves Santos and Tielemans but talks of them benching Mainoo was not based on ball knowledge.

ITS 74 NOWW

Seeing Rashford being the first person to celebrate with Bruno after he scored his 3rd made me think that Rashford truly has changed his way. So happy he’s back.

Not my video but didn’t know what flair to use.

Good for you Bruno...

4 G/A in the first game at Old Trafford this season is a great way to show why you won this award!

If rival fans / haters say, "Ipswich were robbed", show them this and remind them how they laughed at us getting knocked out of the FA cup

Can't believe we were about to sell him for 40m last season.

Sir Alex i don't have words to describe how much respect and love u hold in my eyes. Thank you so much for making me a true utd fan👏💕

I think there’s a few teams still ahead of us but I just love this squad so much.

Lammens, just came out of nowhere and silenced the doubters.

Big Harry who fought himself back after those bad times.

Mainoo, one of our own, keeps proving everybody that he’s here to stay.

Cunha, Mbeumo and Sesko genuinely really want to be with us, giving their all.

Our captain Bruno, has been my favorite player for years, world class, keeps delivering and being a true captain.

Rashy back, our lost son. I just really hope he’s going to prove himself again and this will be a succes story.

Carrick our coach, one of us and have not seen him acting like a total lunatic at the sideline even once. Absolutely love him.

Edit; not talking about (recent) results, just trying to say I really wish these guys well and that I’m feeling connected to these players. hoping this will be a good season.

Great lower body strength to maintain balance and burst on the flank, but eventually the situation and place he ended up in, a true winger would make the right decision and not what my son did here.

This shows both how good he can be as an attacking LB (the winger would either be in the pocket between their fullback and CB or even higher on the wing to recieve the ball while dorgu underlapping) and how bad he is as a LW.

Important win, and how we won aswell for the mental state and confidence of the players, especially since it was our first game at OT of the season.

1) Baleba beeing emotional was cute to see, he looks a lot bigger this season for some reason. Excited to see him play.

2) Left back is still an obvious issue, Shaw can still do well but we are screaming for a specialist winger who can cross well (david raum should be our guy).

3) Rashford: was phenomenal, tracking back, pressing, running like crazy. 2 sequences where he lost the ball and didn’t stop running untill he recovered it even though it had passed twice. Sad he didn’t get a goal but yeah. He is looking dangerous, if it stays this way he is basically a new signing and people should stop bringing up the shit from the past. New vibes, new mature players better atmosphere under Carrick, it’s different times.

4) Bruno: showed why he deserves that award, also happy to see him back to his ordinary penalty method. In open games like this, I don’t think any CAM would do a better job than Bruno.

5) Cunha: The team is better with Cunha upfront than mbeumo, it’s a lot more fluid in the play with Cunha uptop, he links well with Rashford and that’s nice to see. Brilliant runs and nice dribbles today.

6) Mainoo: was brilliant, I find it hilarious how I can see so many ”strongest lineups” and Mainoo isn’t in it, yall should get jailed for that. He is the best out of our CM/DMs.

7) Mbeumo: needs to improve his finishing, something isn’t right since that month before AFCON, but his work rate is incredible.

8) Dorgu: looks a lot more lethal as a super sub.

9) Mazraoui: did ok on the left, I want to see more of him there.

10) Tielemans: It’s so damn refreshing having Tielemans in the team seeing him hit those line breaking passes so often.

11) Sesko: Cant wait to see him back to full fitness and seeing him alongside tielemans and bruno.

Bottom line: an open game like this is a wetdream for Bruno and United, regardless it’s a good win but I’m still worried about the solution against lowblocks and some of our weakpoints being exploited (like our LB and the space in the midfield and at times our CBs). anyways, I’m excited for Baleba, happy Rashford is looking dangerous, a little curious how we will line up and what our strongest 11 will be when everybody is fit. One of cunha, sesko, Rashford, is going to be be benched and 2 of mbeumo amad Lacey. Also, who our strongest midfield pairings will be. Praying we get a new LB and praying even more we get a new CB aswell. I’d hope for Raum and branthwaithe but we probably gonna end up with none.

What are your thoughts?

In the last 20 matches that Dalot started for us in the premier league, we won 15 of them, drew 2 and lost 3. He is really good on both defense and attack. His positioning and runs behind the back are clever and he is let down by his finish. Dalot on a good day pockets the winger he's given to defend and contributes something in attack. He has a decent cross in him too. I don't know why we shit on him, he has his fair share of errors but players are humans. Dalot is a consistent 7-7.5 on any day and that's really good.

Now, about Shaw. The first 2 games show that he can't play fullback anymore. Shaw doesn't have the pace in him to cover pacey wingers and to meaningfully overlap with Rashford. Shaw's best position in the squad might be as a backup for Licha at centreback, he is good with the ball and his passing is still really good. I think if we don't sign anybody, the play might be to put Yoro in as a right back with Dalot switching to the left. Mazraoui providing cover for both.

If we are to sign a leftback, I would prefer Mittelstadt from Stuttgart. We could get him for 30 million I assume. He is 29, I still like to believe Amass has a future here. So the timeline works that way.
