Manchester United making the best of a cheap job
An alternative view of why Manchester United are proper again, as I find Vasanthan’s email in today’s morning mailbox inaccurate on many many levels. Summary – IMO we are making the best out of the players and limited budget we have (including injuries/suspensions).

So many mistakes from AWB, but he tries so hard IMO.

Same for Fred, I find my head in my hands every match he plays, his touch, passing, intelligence are so bad, but he tries very hard, case in point final quarter of the game, he was better when Barca players started fading, got Gavi suspended for 2nd leg.

Weghorst is bad? He is a defensive attacker IMO, he runs, presses, impressive mentality, holds up play, limited player but I love that United are doing well on a budget, not throwing money at *stars* who will *never* do that kind of a job match after match, do check how much pressing Rashford did and if that is the right use of Rashford in anyone’s opinion.

Sancho is rediscovering form, is being phased in by 10Hag, keep watching him improve till the end of this season, 10Hag took some time to improve Rashford, be patient.

Garnacho being sent late on is good as opposition players get tired, he can create more of a difference with his speed and agility.

Exceptional work so far from 10Hag, United’s fitness was better despite a more rigorous schedule in the immediate timeframe, UTD coped very well without Sabitzer, Eriksen, Lisandro, Antony. Loved his composure in the face of referee error (it was a red card for challenge on Rashford IMO)

Bruno’s technical ability is so bad (passing, crossing, shooting technique), wish we could swap him for KDB or give Fred’s engine to Eriksen, Bruno’s leadership is not too good.

Casemiro’s error punished by Raphinha, but Casa is a god overall, the bite in his challenge, the lack of hesitation and the in-game intelligence is stellar.

Miss Eriksen. Lots of hopes from Sabitzer and Antony.

Final Summary – Happy to see good attacking football, hold your head high United regardless of the result, trophies/wins will come naturally in time.

…I thought I’d write a little bit of a defence for Weghorst after the panning he is getting after the Barcelona game.

Whilst he…
