      Only the best sides in Europe can muster up 5 wins in a row

      Half of Man Utd’s team is awful. Their fans just excited when they win a few games

      Hes probably happy. He is a nobody without that gimmick and right now hes getting advertisement deals and cameo apparances at shows...

    This is why some of these MU players can't get too much confidence, start to like the smell of their own farts too much and getting conplacent. Looking at you Shaw
