"My condolences, we are witnessing the death of a football team. Can they pull it back?"
Unlikely. We were awful even before the (harsh) red card. Players second to every ball, passing straight to Spurs players...the only wonder is that (so far) it's only 2-0. |

"He has to be sacked tonight 🤣
You'd have to think they can't go on with him. They look all over the place.
Hopefully they get Southgate 😂😂😂😂"
Well he did say he wants a job that is nothing to do with football
Babysitting a bunch of overpaid primadonna's will be his job. |

We’ve been shite for ages! That was never a red card though. Most reds are apathetic about it these days.
I’ll still dine out of the fact we ruined the childhoods of 90% of football fans for a good period of time. |

"Did we lose yet again?!? Notice I don’t follow the results anymore 🤦🏽♂️"
It's not finished yet. Celebrations or commiserations should wait another 20 mins. Theoretically, anything could happen..... |

I have supported United for 65 years. The Glazers just wanted money. Their interest was commercial gain. They got it.
But simce Sir Alex left that neglect has shown itself in poor decisions. Seems getting worse.£600 million spent by Ten Hag on moderate players.
United used to play lovely flowing football from Giggs and Scholes onwards. What now?
We are a mid table outfit. 10th to 12th. |

As a Man Utd fan I am disappointed in the performance but when you go 1-0 down and then have a man sent off it’s always going to be difficult to get back into the game.I am also a firm believer that if you are the right man to start the season then you are the right man to finish the season.In Erik ten Hag case in his first two seasons he has won two cups and a 3rd place finish so in my eyes he should be judged at the end of the season not less than 10 games into the season. |

Admirable loyalty that said, they were hopeless well before the sending off and were lucky to be only 1-0 down, players seemed to lose their heads and lacked any sort of leadership. If I were Sir Jim I'd be making a change now. United fans (I'm not one) deserve better. |

Not necessarily loyalty more a case in my eyes he has credit in the bank with 2 cup wins in 2 seasons.As a Man Utd fan for me Erik ten Hag has to be getting into the top 4 this season.He has spent £600million so far and the majority of those players was who he wanted so whilst he can’t play the game for the players he needs to be getting more out of them. |

"Man united live off the glory from years ago when their manager was paying refs off. "
Wait for the large brown envelope asking you to appear in court to defend your comments.
Oh and don't forget to bring your car keys. And house keys. And the shirt off your back too. You won't be needing any of them after.

Didn't get a chance to watch the match but the stats made for grim reading. I'm not sure what's worse though, the result or the people who think they're funny making the same tired "give him a contract extension" joke that's been seen a million tiles on the Internet. |

Yes Jose is correct you don’t win anything in September.I personally didn’t want him as Man Utd manager when we appointed him in 2016 and I wouldn’t want him now as we have enough problems without him falling out with everyone. |

Sacking managers doesn't work with Man United.
It's the players that need looking at.
Toxic environment at Old Trafford.
ETH has won a few trophies and is still in Europe, not many managers can say that.
Give him until Xmas atleast. |

Problem is how many of the current squad have been brought in by Ten Hag..
20 I read, and nearly £600 million..
So if there's a problem with the players, if it's toxic who is that down to..? |

The scouting and board above him at the time have to take some blame as well. It's one thing for EtH to highlight players he wants, but if the structure above him is shit enough to not have a plan for it, then ludicrous spending is bound to happen. |

The structure yes, but they won't get sacked before the Manager..
And they're not the ones doing the day to day coaching etc and aren't there on the bench on match days.. |

First, they already have. Arnold, Murtough, various scouts, gone when INEOS took over.
And that's why I said they have to take some blame. Not all the blame.

Suck it up Joe, it isn't going to stop..
It's nothing personal and you give it out when appropriate (not as often as you'd like perhaps)..
Speaking from experience it goes with the territory so don't let it get to you.. |

Take it as a compliment. You might be suffering at the moment but people remember that you have won more league titles than anyone else so of course they are going to enjoy the pain. |

So seeing more the United ones than say Liverpool when they've had a down season or Chelsea whi have finished mid table is just "coming with the territory?" If you can't see the difference then you've not been paying attention. |

It's always been the way, as the poster above says it goes with the territory..
In some ways the inevitability of it is down to other teams in my lifetime not having the success your lot and my lot have had for long periods and when that wanes as it has with both in that time also the flack is going to come in large..
Moaning why us again cos we got trounced when a big win gets given the big un doesn't cut it..

Firstly, you posted that. Don't pin that on someone else. Also, the obsession with hating you lot wasn't as widespread or easily seen because your best years came before the internet was a thing. Ultimately, you're not subjected to the same unoriginal, shite jokes regardless of how big the defeat is |

I did yes and I'm not trying to pin anything on anyone, personally I don't go with hate despite the rivalry..
There's no place for hate..
My best man and mate of many years was a season ticket holder at Old Trafford, maybe I best tell him that with all the stick he's given me over the last forty plus years (77 FA cup final stands out) that he's getting it more because of tech and I'll lay off because of that..

If he wins the Europa League this season we will automatically be in next season’s Champions League.Our board will have to look at a range of things before deciding if they will offer him a new contract.Wins the Europa League, now that's a good one Mrs x. Essentially we are a cup team after all we did beat Man City to win the FA cup last season so why not the Europa League we could end up playing Tottenham in the final.You seriously think you could beat Man City again in a final and you've just been hammered by Tottenham, you couldn't even beat FC Twente the other week...

Isn't that why they say it's a funny old game." You're tight and that would be hilarious, Mrs x |

It's the ol' saying " can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear " ..you could have the best manager in the world & he'd still struggle with those players at that level, to me personally ,& have been a United fan all my life , at that level they have players that are stone wall useless as professionals go , Utd have the biggest cribber , cribs about everything ,Fernandes, the biggest waste of £160 Million EVER in HM & Anthony,other players that wear the Utd jersey but are league 1 & 2 standard, it just goes to show that you don't have to be good to play for Utd now , just lucky , astronomical wages & absolutely crap performance's but the sad thing is the Manager always gets the bullet not the players , have always said it players contracts protect them way too much ,if those players were in ordinary jobs & turning out work like they play they'd be sacked cause no employer could afford to keep them but hey they're so protected by their contracts it's laughable.oh btw l was followed United when they might win a Cup , never won the league but they had pride & passion. |

Admirable loyalty that said, they were hopeless well before the sending off and were lucky to be only 1-0 down, players seemed to lose their heads and lacked any sort of leadership. If I were Sir Jim I'd be making a change now. United fans (I'm not one) deserve better."
Agreed. Anyone thinking the red card has a significant impact on the game didn’t watch it. |

So you are saying they have spent over a billion on players and still don’t have a good squad? |

"Also, can I ask why the fuck these threads pop up whenever United lose? The of the league's supporters obsession is getting a bit unhealthy at this point. Go outside, get a hobby, hug your loved ones "
Because so many of us know so many United fans who were utter arses in the glory days.
Payback time! |

You see when the whole " sack the manger" shit comes out I find it difficult to understand why the players don't get as much scrutiny?
What I mean is, at this level they are very experienced professional players who have been in the game since early teens and possibly even younger thru academies
And so on.
These players should by now know the game inside out,ok so a manger may pick the line up and system before the match but during its pretty much 99% down to the players to act and play , they pretty much decide to play or not.
So shouldn't the players be penalised first? |

Well yes but ever we're it thus. What's interesting is utd have been under performing for a decade and multiple managers. They even bring new players in and seem to break them. I wonder if even klopp / ancelotti / pep could get a consistent tune out of that squad. I feel a bit sorry for ten hag but he's had 100 games so should be able to get his players to run around a bit rather than standing still and gesticulating. |

I don't think Pep/Klopp would accept performances like this. Especially the lack of effort. If there's one thing above all else those 2 have is their players seem willing to run though brick walls for them.
They both seem to improve players they inherited at clubs. A big part of that is probably just getting players to maximise effort. Plus if you don't perform for them you don't last at the club. ETH will come out after a game and from his interview you would think they had won 3-0, not lost by that score. |

Ok, so fromy point of view I was always EtH in regardless of last season's FA Cup result because of a few reasons. We had an insane number of injuries which would take its toll on any side, we finished 3rd with a cup the season before, I was sick of us sacking managers with no real plan or backup, I genuinely thought he had a good style of play in being quick in transitions and pressing high and just didn't think we had the players to do it.
I think most United fans knew this was make or break for him with the new ownership and getting more of his style o players in, but some of the performances have been shocking, and while there have been individual errors that aren't his fault - defensive lapses, not finishing chances as we've had the most number of "big chances" in the league - the fact we still can't seem to cohesively press or break teams down is a worry and just don't know what it will take to improve the team. |

The players do come under scrutiny. Pundits, journalists etc get on players’ cases if they think the player is playing badly or not trying hard enough.
But they can’t just sack them, except in extreme circumstances such as gross misdemeanours, but not for playing badly. The reason is transfer costs, a player may have cost 50 million, and if you just tear up their contract you get none of that money back.
Managers are much easier and cheaper to get rid of. |

It was all over the media yet again this morning. It's become a bit of an obsession. An unhealthy one at that. Other football managers and clubs exist and nobody wins anything in September. It's a bit like when you see some sexy legs... You just can't help looking. |

Cant keep sacking managers cause the players spit there dummy out.but think ten hag time is nearly up.but if he gets sacked the same trouble makers are still there rashford and shaw get rid of them 2 and you have got rid of the cliche probably started by pogba and lingard.should of got rid of mount over mCctomminy.i no united are a big club but they dont need to be main headlines or talked about on every channel for hours.they are a average team at the moment who deserve the same amount of coverage as west ham or bournemouth get. |

Usually, I would react with glee to Utd misfortunes. However, with my own team's ineptitude, I have no emotion left to spare. But I am still chuckling over their relegation from the top division in the 70’s. |

I’ve been doing that since the day I was born with the exception of about 4 seasons where we actually challenged but ended up with nothing. |
