…. Or a blinkered blue 
But it just looks chaotic.
Both on and off the pitch.
Utd have got a fantastic history. By hook or crook, in the last 3 consecutive seasons they have been in 3 finals and won two of them.
But I look at Kobbie Mainoo‘a position. Has said previously he doesn’t want sign anew contract… but is this his agent pushing things or more of a picture what’s happening behind the scenes ?
Managers position is not looking too stable - but is anyone else’s for that matter?
It’s going to be another interesting season at Old Trafford- grabs the popcorn

but it is still a big draw. They are struggling a bit when they have to go head to head with other rich and currently successful clubs across the big Euro leagues but they retain a huge pull, particularly for players with the self-belief where they see the opportunity to be part of the restoration of glory.
If they continue to be a shambles for a few more years that might change but right now most still think ‘they will get back on track soon’. IMO they are at worst the 4th or 5th most attractive PL club for the majority of agents and players behind the other CL winners Liverpool, Chelsea and City. Arsenal might also have a slight edge but I reckon head to head quite a few players would still choose United despite ownership, ground, Amorim. Previous Message
If Moyes had said .. “I’m off - I’d be quite happy to go - no need for a compensation package “…
Why would you sign for a manager like that ?
I imagine he’s playing to the media, but Man Utd are absolute mess. It’s like watching a soap opera at times. Fully expecting them to be the big headlines next season - just not the stuff that goes in the pitch.
If they have a wobble nxt season - as all clubs do - Amorim will be gone. I’ll be surprised if he still there at Christmas.
No champions league. Constantly revolving door behind the scenes in terms of scouting. Staff (day to day staff that is) being shown door. A bizarre ownership relationship behind the scenes - who is in charge ?
I just find it odd that anyone who wanted to improve their career would sign for them apart to increase their social media profile and wage packet ?
Any ideas ?

They’ve signed two brilliant players. Both at the top of my wishlist for Everton.
I think they’ll surprise people this season
