Man United 2021-24, 'Best of the Rest'

Well, best of the rest it was for this season... Leeds going down and Liverpool out of the top 4 is enjoyable. Winning this particular FA Cup final would be delightful...

Yeah, Ten Hag's done more than stabilised the club. With the squad they've got, 3rd in the league, league cup and FA Cup finalists is pretty good. He's managed to get through a horrible run of injuries over the last month. They'd be my shout for 2nd next year.
 
City went on an incredible run at the right time but, depending on how much money they spend, feel like a few teams are in with a shout next season.

This was a weird year with the world cup break. I suspect city/ abu dhabi will just roll on next year.
 
Remains to be seen what kind of structures are put in place with the new owners, in terms of recruitment and overall management of the club. If it's Radcliffe, there's a chance the Glazers still retain a share, at least for a while. Fantastic. And if it's Jassim, that makes United another front for state torturers. :(

I'm not surprised-it's how a lot of them think in my experience. Bloke I used to work with, season ticket holder at theirs, said to us on the Monday after Hillsborough 'Well, I was depressed after the match on Saturday until I heard what had happened over there.' It was the days when many of them thought Ferguson was shit and ought to be fired, and he was one of them.
 
The De Gea pile-on seems a bit over the top. He had the most clean sheets in the whole league. All keepers make the odd mistake goes with the territory. Certainly don't think he's the main problem as some pundits seem to think.

He’s a liability, and even if he wasn’t the game has moved on so much now from what he has to offer with his feet. City’s 2nd keeper is miles better than him.

Back to yesterday though he was rooted to the spot for Gundo’s first, and was very poor with his second.
 
Anyone think Højlund is going to be the answer up front, like next season not the future. Can't help thinking picking up Taremi would be good as competition since he is well proven and quoted price is surprisingly cheap.
 
Very lucky. Bang average performance.
Mount pretty anonymous.
Onana was fine before the flap at the end - likes to play around on the ball which will probably end in tears.
Antony, Sancho, Rashford, Garnacho all very hit and miss.
Casamero and Varane looked a bit old really.

Oh well at least we don't have to worry about competing for the league...
