After taking some time to digest last weeks result, I’m almost at a stage where I’m giving up on this team.

There’s been so many negative talking points from the past week alone… that has completely killed every positive aspect that we built in pre season!

The victory over Liverpool almost felt like a shock! like we should have been grateful for such a win and it showed and gave us hope but the more pre season went on, the more it crept back in… the draw against villa! The loss to athletico Madrid the draw against real vallecano… a theme which had caused so much pain last season!

Come match day and before a ball had been kicked, Our captain is so clueless that he’s lining up on the wrong side of the tunnel! Then The first kick being a Diego Dalot mistake which nearly results in a goal! It simply set the tone for the rest of the game and for me, for the season!

It’s true that we might not have qualifications to be managers or even skills to be players but what does our manager see that we don’t!? Between us, we watched and followed every aspect of how man United play over countless years of support! Did it

Our questions are simple and the solution is effective! How does ten hag go into that game with maguire and martinez? How does he think that Fred and mctominay are capable of running that midfield? How does he start Bruno as our main striker!!!??? Varane and Ronaldo sat on the bench… better than everything that started before them!! You always start with your best players and It’s then a matter of change it when you have to!

Now we have 3 weeks until the transfer window closes and our value in the market represents our performances on the pitch! Rabiot being another signing to add to free agent, “Erickson” who is just not the answer! We have a player in Martinez but the pressure to play in that first game alongside a player who is supposed to be our captain… who makes so many mistakes per game! There’s no direction or menace to his game! He is not a leader and unfortunately, Martinez will probably regress over the coming weeks because of it! Luke Shaw I also believe is at a cross roads! He was amazing 2 years ago but we have seen this so many times over the years where players hit a pinnacle and then fall away… this is Shaw now! When malacia had played.. he has a dynamic and refreshing energy that reminds me of Patrice Evra! I hope he gets his chance soon!

Which brings us to the midfield… zidane iqbal shone in pre season! Garner was an absolute baller last season! Why are these kids being brought through the academy if they don’t get the chance to shine in the first team!? What is the point in loans when we need energy and freshness now!!!?

Ronaldo is the only exception because of what he brings but still… starting Bruno instead of him or a young energetic garnacho!?

Rashford has just been linked to PSG today and I say “let him go” because he is not the same player and we cannot let these players keep coming through like this! That shot he missed even though it was offside was just simply unacceptable!

I just don’t understand how this club is being operated to the point that everything we do is tainted with darkness and negativity!?

Our team is dying a slow and painful death! Going for arnautavic! What does that say about our club!? And what does that say about our manager!? What does it say about the money that we REALLY to spend! Is de jong even a real possibility or is it a smoke screen to say we tried and then the last day of the season when we don’t get him, they save £85m?

There’s something much more sinister and dark in play at our once beautiful club and everyone can see it! Until someone takes over from these owners… we will never go anywhere!

I argued this week that I don’t believe we will get even a point in our opening 3 games! Brentford will want to start with a bang and Liverpool will smash us!

Such a sad time to be a United fan but if I could take one thing from city and hopefully we never go there… they were relegated to division 2! Look at them now! We need patience!

Never heard of this kid but he looks decent! United should be about developing talent and I believe ten hag is the man to do that! Everything in his style of management suggests that he can do it!

The latest from Fabrizio ⤴️👀⭐️

I did say this the other day

Melbourne victory 1 vs 4 Manchester United

Another positive performance by United yesterday but most of that came in the second half.

To start with that defense and lose that goal was testament to what I said earlier about maguire not being up to the style of play that we are trying to create.

He was completely left for dead by a second rate player and his decision making as that pass comes in shows exactly why ETH will not have too much patience with him.

To point out and build on the positives, Bruno and sancho were decent and mctominay pushed and grinded well. The goals were well worked and we deserved our lead but still, I felt under inspired by the defense and central midfield selection.

2nd half gave the stage to iqbal, savage and Chong and I felt they were brilliant. They played with intent, flair and speed and it will do great thing for their confidence.

Malacia shown again why he was bought and shown improvement from the Liverpool game and Bailey certainly isn’t doing himself any harm with his strength and assists but I’m still worried about Donny in that position as he really looks lost at times.. not sure he’s going to feature as much as he would like.

Rashford was lively and took his goal very well. The touch to set himself up for the strike was well noted and these wins are great preparations for the start of the season with the potential of not having Ronaldo but we still need more and it’s a shame we won’t see our new players on tour.

Overall, good performance but had it been anything else, I’d have been pi**ed off. Maguire starting on the right of the central defense, for me was an audition for that starting spot once Martinez comes in as ETH will look for his partner at the back… I think it will be varane but we will see.

Interested to see what erikkson does in a red shirt and also really wish we’d get clarity over de jong and either sign him or move on. Not signing him frees up £85m so what we could buy for that is exciting should we not get our man.

Next stop I think is crystal palace. They’ve got 10 senior players on their tour because of Covid vaccination restrictions and won’t have a great team so I see a similar result to this one.

I’d like to see a combination of the Liverpool line up and the Melbourne victory line up

De gea
Malacia
Varane
Bailly
Dalot
Savage
Iqbal
Sancho (right)
Chong (left)
Bruno
Rashford

That’s what I’d start the game with… what do you think?
