    So Verstappen starts 17th?

    He only got picked for England, because Carsley picked from the players that did well for him in the U21 side.

    Performing well in France, and in a handful of meaningless international games against second tier opponents does not make someone a top Premier League talent

    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    Being suited to a manager's style of play and being competitive at the business end of the Premier League are two very different things. It would be an incredible achievement to get United into the top 4 this season. Getting too 6th will probably be the best we can expect if he has a good season...

    Yeah Piastri shouldn't be an obstacle at this stage of the season. He has to watch out for Leclerc behind though.

    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    Maybe from the press, but I don't think the fans will feel like that. Ten Hag had big support right up until his sacking, and being beaten heavily by rivals is hardly a new thing. I think the attitude will be "These are the same players who got beaten 7-0 by Liverpool last year, why should we...

    I imagine Mainoo would do that role. I'm not sure whether the differences in that polygon are due to the capabilities of the player or the role he was being asked to do. Either way Mainoo has a lot of development left in him. Other options might be Erikson, though his ability to play 90 mins...

    Napoli are a better side than United, you're right, but they play a different way and in a very different league. When McTominay played his "best" football for United last season he would get up to into the box, score goals, and leave massive gaps between the lines. When he played in a double...

    This is mind-blowing :laugh: Elanga and McTominay have both done well since leaving United, and I hope they continue to do so. But they were never good enough to play for United and were rightfully sold. Sancho was a complete flop, and joins the list of Dortmund Attacking Midfielders who...

    McTominay wasn't good enough Sancho wasn't good enough Varane was excellent but injury prone Sabitzer was on loan Fred wasn't good enough Greenwood has charges of domestic abuse against him and rightfully has been moved on Ronaldo was past it, and caused more problems than he solved Bailly was...

    Amorim also has a free hit this season. It'll be a massive achievement to get top four from this position, so he has a chance to really look at the squad in a competitive environment and highlight squad weaknesses early enough to have a good summer. Realistically we need 2 centre backs, 2 left...

    I think the uncertainty surrounding Pep's future is why he would move to United now. I think a guaranteed job at a big club now is significantly better than a chance at the City job in the future. He took over the Sporting job when they hadn't won the title in 20 years. Now they're the dominant...

    I actually think the current United Squad would suit that system quite well. Ugarte is a ready made solution for the Ball Winning Midfielder, and has played for Amorim before. Mainoo when he returns will suit the Progressive role alongside him. Erikson or even Bruno can fill in there. United...

    I think he was being lined up to be Guardiola's replacement. City picked up Guardiola's preferred DoF a few months prior to his arrival, and they've recently poached Sporting's DoF. There were rumours that he was going to Liverpool when Klopp left, but Liverpool didn't want to pay his 10 mil...

    To be fair the United squad is in a significantly better position now than the one Ten Hag inherited. That squad had downed tools for Solskjaer, then Rangnick in the same season. Amorim needs to get his own background team in as soon as possible. Neither Rangnick, nor Ten Hag were able to...

    Exactly. Then you're entitled by the regulations to open your steering wheel and run the overtaking driver out of road. Particularly effective on the more modern tracks where the run offs are tarmacked, rather than the more traditional gravel traps.

    He was about 4 seconds ahead by the end of the race so he definitely had the pace.

    Or if he just held his line and let Max crash into him
