not looking forward at all to the europa league.
and to add salt to the wound, injuries to darmian and smalling, plus schweinsteiger's 3 game suspension means united travel to bournemouth this weekend with a very very thin squad.

Red Devils & LVG jialat liao...wif tis kind of situation & form, looks like very slim chance of making it thru their next few opponents ...sigh

really dont understand LVG. he chose to sub mata for powell? replaced the injured darmian with borthwick-jackson?
happy that LVG gave the younger players opportunities to establish themselves. but to turn to them when our CL hopes were hanging on a thread?
questions would need to be asked on why januzaj and wilson were loaned out and chicharito sold.

we are in group B with PSV, CSKA Moscow and Wolfsburg.
should make it through to the knockout rounds.

Hope it does not happen again.

Sigh, history 'repeats' itself. Squad is stretched pretty thin this time, I agree. But that only highlights our lack of depth.

Perhaps it's time for LVG to go...lost to Bournemouth, a newly promoted team last nite 2-1 ...though he is hampered by injuries to his senior players, they hv not really been scoring prolifically as teams of the past under SAF...it's a wonder tat even not playing tat well @ one stage they were top of the table for 1 day...But tink LVG is now losing his direction, his plot & his philosophy...he is living on his past glory wif those elite teams of Europe which is now history...sigh

Heard Pep Guardiola is lined up to replace him & even Carlo Ancelotti is interested in his job...we shall see how things unfold as time goes on...

the defense that played against bournemouth was the weakest that i've seen from united in more than 20 years of being a fan.
i could never have imagined a defense for a premier league game made up of varela at RB, borthwick-jackson at LB, and the CB partnership of Mcnair and Blind.
we had the entire first choice defense out (no offense to blind but he is not a CB lah).
lack of depth would be an understatement.

LVG said he would go if he sensed that he has lost the dressing room.
i think if we do not survive the 3 games over the xmas period, the sensible thing is for him to go.
giggs should be given the interim job and see how he handles the team over the 2nd half of the season. if he does well, he gets the permanent job (and we potentially lose guardiola to city )
if he doesnt, we better go all out to lure guardiola to old trafford in the summer!

This is a new low.....Im sure we can bounce back.

MU does not need Guardiola...
Give our hero Giggs the job lah...

hence i am hoping that we flop over the next few games and LVG decides he's had enough and goes off. giggs to take over for the remaining half of the season. if he does well, he gets the job full time. if he can't turn it around, guardiola is available in the summer and we should go all out for him. just me and my imagination.

one of the least offensive MU side...think LVG won't go beyond this season...

he's the type of "my way or the highway" coach

even chicharito has score more since sold by LVG

Hey guys,
I am planning a first ever trip to old Trafford next year.
Probably targeting Arsenal game scheduled on 27th Feb.
I have gone into the official club website. Apparently, need to sign up as an official member before they even consider match tickets; provided its still available.
Was wondering any die hard red devil bros here can advise on dos and don't .. like how to purchase tickets etc

Also appreciate any "kinky" experience and advise to share will be great too .

Thanks in advance

Glad that Chicha had done so well since moving to Bayer.
I could never figure out why LVG discard him.

• ‘Van Gaal said I only had a 1% chance of playing in my position’
• Mexico striker has scored 19 goals since joining Bayer Leverkusen

Stats said it all.

JiBye...
LVG can follow Mourinho's footsteps liao...

[lacoruna69]

I thought we started off quite well.....but again....due to certain reasons....got cold feet when in front of the goalmouth.
Norwich exploited the gaps behind as everyone was so far up.
Jerome scored against the run of play.

From then on, we lost steam.

JiBye x2...
LVG can follow Mourinho's footsteps liao...
