    I think he might, after that disastrous campaign this season he'd want to redeem himself in a big way. I'd love to see Pep vs Mou in the BPL especially since it'll be a derby.

    It's clear that the players gave up otherwise they would be doing worse under a worse manager in Guus. Hopefully he can be backed with 200mill or something to start the summer and get some worldies

    Yeah there is a solid foundation at United, I'd throw all my faith in Memphis & Martial those two have exceptional talent they just need patience and a coach that could motivate them to push them to be better players. What you guys have been lacking is a solid CB partnership, it's no coincidence United were still a dominant side when you had a classic sweeper-stopper combo in Rio & Vidic.

    As a longtime admirer of LVG that sounds like a micro-tactic that he specifically tells players in the strategy. Granted I haven't been able to watch/keep up with football as much as I'd like this season so I can't really comment too much on how you guys have been playing, but I do know that manager has lost his way awhile ago those zone-specific tactics aren't as good as they were years back.

    :CryFamm: For once the managers have a beef. SAF really only had Rafa towards the end of his run, Manchini wasn't a rival

    Fergie v Wenger years ago was classic, he almost drove Rafa to a breakdown

    Yeah the rivalry lessened the more s--- Arsenal got, I still dont like them or Wenger though, respect his earlier squads but they're just meh and have been for years, barring a few good players
