Foedn will walk into that midfield I think but Greenwood will have to battle it out with Sterling, Sancho and Rashford.
Whisper it quietly but if he weren't captain I would think our talisman striker would be most in danger of losing his place if we don't have a significant upturn next season.

But as Kane's captain he'll probably play every minute anyway regardless of form, knowing Southgate.

Foden's a dead cert, it has to be Foden, Henderson and a.n.other if England continue with 4-3-3

Nah captain or not, absolutely no way Southgate drops him, he brings a lot more to that England team and generally performs better for them then he does for us.

That is true, it's been so long since an England game I'd almost forgotten.

I'd like for us to replicate the way Kane plays for England with him lying a bit deeper and Son and Bergwijn running the channels and in behind. But if we ever did that I bet Jose would pick Lucas instead...

I can't remember the last time any new signing had the impact on a team like Bruno's had on United. It feels unique.

Bournemouth are really bad. But United are also good. We used to be that good. We had our chance to finally crack the upper table and whiffed so bad by standing still we’ll end up worse off than we were before.

Gutting to think we had the chance to sign Bruno last summer and chose not too. Unbelievable really considering how poor our midfield is.

The lad is a freak. Just shows you what being a two footed footballer allows you to achieve.

Dele and Erik take note.
I might open a can of worms with this but it's unfathomable to me how a professional footballer with thousands of hours of practice can make it without training enough with their week foot to be adept with both feet.

We did use to be that good. It's fucking demoralising. We are now fucking death by football

I hope we're ready for someone to remind us of this every time he has a good game.

All reports suggested it was Gio or Bruno. Gio might be a fantastic player for us but it's definitely a massive what if.

so they just showed a still of the Utd player in the wall and his foot is beyond the last defender as Fernandes scores.. but it's not given as offside. I have it muted, but why was that not given?

Completely agree. There is more of an argument for left footers to be more likely not to use their right foot as they make up about 25 per cent of all players, however Greenwood has proven otherwise.

It's when Dele went down the left channel the other night and flicked at the ball with his right foot instead of using his left to get the ball in the box. It's like he is scared shit of using it.
