Anger Megathread: Manchester United 0–1 Manchester City.

Yes, we get it. Everyone is fucking angry.
The loss to City has understandably kicked off another wave of frustration about the board, ownership, transfers, recruitment, the manager, tactics and individual players. All of those discussions are fair game, and this thread is here specifically for them.

However, the subreddit has been inundated with multiple posts making essentially the same points. If we allow dozens of near-identical rants to take over the front page after every disappointing result, it becomes difficult for other discussions, analysis, news and community content to get visibility.

So, rather than removing the anger, we’re consolidating it.

Use this thread to:

*Vent about the result.
*Criticise the board and ownership.
*Discuss the transfer window and recruitment.
*Question the manager and tactics.
*Criticise individual performances.

Share your frustrations about where the club is heading. Say whatever needs to be said, within the subreddit rules.

You don’t have to agree with anyone else here. Debate, disagree and get it off your chest. But try to remain respectful and avoid personal attacks.

Please keep standalone posts for new information, substantial analysis or genuinely different discussion points rather than another variation of the same post.

Now, go on. Have your say.

Four different scorers. A clean sheet. And a straightforward, winning return to the Champions League for Man Utd! It couldn’t have gone much better than that and hopefully this is a timely confidence boost ahead of the Manchester Derby this weekend.

Please share your thoughts on the match!

Which goal was your favourite and who is your pick for man of the match? There were some good performances in there. I thought Mainoo and Tielemans ran the show in the first half and were at the centre of some really good football.

Commiserations to Sabah, what a special night for their club! However I’m grateful that we could start off with a relatively easy fixture.

A high-following X account is reporting that Man United are looking to trigger Racing Santander left back, Jorge Salina’s £13.7mil release clause. Reposted by Indykaila News. They broke the Louis Page story earlier today before established journalists.

💩 Source. But we have very little to work with today so make of it as you will.

Edit: sorry for the typo in the title. *Jorge Salinas.

Game-week one and I don’t think it’s time to panic. However, how can our players still think that they can get away with putting in partial effort at this level? Everyone knows that promoted clubs are on a high in the first weeks of the season, especially at home. Seems like a leadership problem.

Hopefully this is a kick up the backside for the club.

Posting this to give credit where it’s due. Indykaila broke an exclusive yesterday that ‘a significant meeting took place between Baleba and Man United’ and ‘Man United are preparing a new bid’.

I’ve been critical of them as a source but they were the only ones talking about it before the Ornstein exclusive today.

Hats off.

Does anyone [who follows the academy] know why Godwill Kukonki was not given a contract?

Apologies for the screen recording. iPhone.
