To any impartial observer, they look considerably more likely to win something than city.

Tomorrow (Today) marks the start of a season-defining 18 days for @ManUtd
By March 2nd, United could have lifted silverware, beaten Barcelona and be in the running for the FA Cup and league. It’s important to remember that hiccups happen. Enjoy the ride.

Now, I can clearly see obvious progress and am generally an optimist, but in the running for the league this season? The man makes me look almost doom-laden.

And I'm flouncing until the end of May if we get beat today AND pick up more injuries...

Leeds away will test your metal and reserve.

Shall we see a few cracks and the floodgates open.

C'mon its what all the Rags are secretly expecting

I think Wealdstone, Woking and Halifax will for you too next season.

Well Meslier has basically had the first half off.

As has De Gea.

A football match might break out eventually.

Nailed on for a red card in the 2nd half; my money's on Fred.

The steel bus chassis?

Good ol' fashioned first half.

Like a 1980's First Division match. Lots of heavy tackles, comical back-passes, and fok all skill.

Bruno's shooting boots were left back in Manchester.

**hallelujah** · 12-02-2023, 09:55 PM

I fancied him to beat Meslier then, but we've been crap.

We don't half fucking miss Casemiro (and Eriksen). Ridiculously so.

I take it all back...

...it's on!

Poor today but battled through it and the quality up top saw us through. We actually have a team again in the truest sense of the word.

**Edmond** · 12-02-2023, 11:10 PM

In a good ol' scrap, quality can't be subdued for the whole 90 minutes.

Lovely decisive high-pace goals.

Ten Hag's the man. The man that can.

**hallelujah** · 12-02-2023, 11:21 PM

The only team in the Premiership still chasing a quadruple.

A bit more quality in the summer in a couple of positions and we'll be right in the thick of it for the title next season.

Fred or Shaw man of the match today, btw. Leeds made us fucking work for it and it suited Fredinho.

**Joe 90** · 17-02-2023, 12:00 AM

How many is Lewandowski gonna put past DeGea today.
Early kick off , so armchair supporters around Asia don't lose any beauty sleep tonight.

**Joe 90** · 17-02-2023, 12:08 AM

Word is the Qataris have bought the global brand

Time to chuck the Norwich scarfs in the bin.

**Joe 90** · 17-02-2023, 01:07 AM

Wot no Apple sponsors??

**cyrille** · 17-02-2023, 01:13 AM

'Marcus Rashford is literally on fire' - Owen Hargreaves.

Kind of 'the club intellectual' in his day, wasn't he?

**Joe 90** · 17-02-2023, 01:53 AM

No Sherringham or OGS to save the day today although bacon face is reminiscing in the crowd.

**cyrille** · 17-02-2023, 01:58 AM

Well that's what happens when you don't make pressure pay.

Yeah.

We were excellent for the most part and we've come away saying we're disappointed to only get a 2-2 at the Camp Nou.

Silly goals to give away too, but Barca would probably say the same.

Cracking game.

**Edmond** · 17-02-2023, 06:49 AM

Rasho squeezing it in like Sparky back in 91.

**cyrille** · 17-02-2023, 06:56 AM

Rashford in the form of his life, for sure.

**Edmond** · 17-02-2023, 07:05 AM

Hopefully Haggy can get the same confidence and form into Sancho.

With a big #9 in the summer, and Bruno behind, that would be some attack.

**Joe 90** · 17-02-2023, 07:12 AM

Oh look, the armchairs have woke up and watched the highlights

Qatari Royals Plan £5 Billion Opening Bid for Man United

Qatari investors are readying a roughly £5 billion ($6 billion) opening bid for Manchester United Plc, people with knowledge of the matter said, ahead of what’s expected to be a fierce bidding war for the English football giant.

A consortium including Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, the country’s former prime minister and ex-head of the Qatar Investment Authority, is putting the final touches on a proposal to acquire the English Premier League club from the US Glazer family.

Deliberations are ongoing and no final decisions on the size or timing of any proposal have been taken, according to the people. A representative for Al Thani didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Bloomberg News reported this week that the QIA has been helping with preparations for a bid alongside local family offices. Any offer is likely to face competition from British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, who’s already lined up financing from banks including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. for a bid of his own.

Manchester United is one of the biggest names in world sports and has been the subject of increasing takeover speculation since Bloomberg News reported in the summer that the Glazer family was open to selling a stake. New York bank Raine Group is advising the Glazers.
