    Mbeumo has been very poor. Bassey has him pocketed. Cunha has looked the best United offensive asset but as a whole none of them are worth it playing like this as a team.

        Yea not often that the full backs are as big and strong as Bassey. Mbeumo unable to bully him like he can with many others.

      Amorim needs to realise that Bruno is not a box-to-box CM. He's way too rash with the ball and also positional awareness not that good to play in that position. Also Mount is not a fcking false 9, sure it worked against Arsenal. But against teams like Fulham a proper CF is needed.

        Yea Mount is the weak link. He needs to just start playing Sesko so the team get used to their attacking structure.

    People bringing in Wood, or considering it, are you bothered about all this Nuno losing his job chat? If he goes, I can’t see Wood doing as well. Last season was his only good season in his career and he hasn’t all of a sudden turned into Cristiano Woodinho at 34 years of age. That said, if is not him, who else could it be? I am dropping palmer and could use the money for almost anybody but I have my doubts with most options at the moment.
