None of the prospective Man Utd buyers would come without drawbacks and negatives. An interfering Elon Musk is made to sound like the best of a bad bunch.

The one and only Wanderers
Last night, Bolton won 5-0. Our first 4 goals were scored by 4 of our back 5. Our 5th goal was scored by the player that replaced the only one of the starting back line not to score. Not a particularly Earth-shattering revelation but I think it’s a nice, quirky little stat

Post-derby clarity
Dear Editor,
For the first time in weeks I looked at the sports news with a sense of excited anticipation, not dread.
I actually thought there would be a few more fellow reds singing our praises this morning! Don’t get me wrong, we’ve not ‘turned a corner‘ this is not ‘the reset’ etc, etc. But what a lovely evening of football.
A goal for Mo, a goal for Gakpo, an assist for Darwin – who could ask for more? A confident and more disciplined performance form TAA (notably Jordan Henderson sat nice and close to him, a reminder of how it used to work so neatly on that right hand side). Bajetic was fantastic. A clean sheet. I mean, just lovely stuff.
Moreover, you could instantly see the impact to the press when Jota and Firmino came on – it takes time to learn the system and they almost instantly both forced defensive errors when they came on by pressing the centre-half and full-back respectively. The midfield is a huge issue, but perhaps getting our pressing from the front functioning again will help to relieve some of that pressure – with Diaz on the road to return as well, I hope we can begin to work a bit more cohesively and protect the defence from higher up the pitch and be less reliant on an off-form Fabinho and less vulnerable to the counter. We shall see!
A derby win to head in to a very tough challenge on Saturday. And I’m able to read F365 et al. with confidence for at least a day.
Up the reds!
Cheers,
Marc
Man Utd takeover options
I don’t want to come across as a Woe-is-us Man Utd fan, but I can’t help but feel distaste for all of the prospective buyers of the club. Not that I want to stick with the leeches the Glazers are, but each of the prospective owners the media have reported come with significant drawbacks.
Firstly, the Qataris. I frankly don’t want anyone involved with the club who benefits from slave labour – in Qatar, in the wider Arab world or…
