    Even Michael Laudrup on Danish television says VAR got it wrong tonight with the red card and both pens.

    Its interesting how United fell apart after red when you compare it to Spurs almost pulling it off with 9 players. Difference in mentality is insane.

    A garbage performance getting a win aided by an even worse refereeing performance. Fucking bullshit.

    Højlund was being an asshole for celebrating like that. FC Copenhagen was his youth club and then he played for them. Why would he not have a more humble celebration? Unless the club were assholes to him when he played there

    9 - Manchester United have lost as many as nine of their opening 17 matches of a season in all competitions for the first time since 1973-74, which was the last season they were relegated.

    History doesnt repeat but often rhymes

      Unironically, a hard reset might be what they really need at this point. Big clubs go through bad spells but typically are able to bounce back and be competitive after a few years in the wilderness. Taking a club like Man Utd that was self-sustaining and getting them to where they are now takes some serious mismanagement. It should be a case study in business schools of how to sabotage success against the odds.

    No disrespect but not being able to protect a 2 goal lead against Copenhagen when you’re Man United is just pathetic. No excuse for it, most top clubs would be expected to come out with a draw at the least.

    This is down to poor game management by Ten Hag and the squad’s shocking mentality. Finished club.

      It’s partly because of awful defending and injuries to our best defenders

      But the backup lot aren’t good enough anyway, it’s no surprise

      How come you dislike him so much?

      Because of something he said after they beat you a few years back 4-1?

        I don’t hate him, but the guy put so much disrespect on CR7. I hate that what could have been the last few years at the top level for Ronaldo was ruined by united and this manager who decided Ronaldo was finished, when he probably would have come back to form. He’s busy scoring some proper bangers in suadi that show he still has it. He was their top scorer the season before ten hag dropped him ffs. If only he went to a better club after juve. Who knows he could still be playing the champions league as an impact player today.

          Maybe Ronaldo should of taken training more seriously then instead of expecting to automatically start because of his name. Ronaldo was actual garbage before being let go and United won 11 straight after so let’s just drop that stupid narrative now. It’s now ETHs fault, that’s all on Ronnie. And nobody is impressed a 38 year old can score in a league not even in the top 20, sorry.

    It’s easy to shit on United, kinda like a low hanging fruit at the momemt but if Copenhagen got a red card instead of United for that foul everyone would be screaming handouts, english bias, United are being helped, etc.

    Instead of spunking another £100m on another player they should get a 20 strong team of the world’s best psychologists and root out the fucking problem with the squad’s mentality. They fold at the slightest inconvenience.
