Well the Ref seems to be sympathetic towards Man U at least in terms of fouls. They are physically fouling Newcastle players at the refs hardly bother to notice.

i think the only logical explanation is that theyve had too much break in between games due to cancellations and theyve lost match fitness. was a shocking performance overall

yep i definitely feel like this is the case. two solid weeks without any games or training is going to affect how you play on the field especially with the regimented tactical style that rangnick has tried to implement.

also joelinton being turned into a b2b midfielder in the mold of kante/toure is pretty funny

I also think 4-2-2-2 is not going to be "good" going forward either. a 3-5-2 is where i would be looking to use for Yanited. The CBs they have are all good on the ball just pretty out of form defensively, so sure that up with a back 3, then a midfield 3 of bruno and whoever, wingbacks and ronaldo plus one up top.

They should drop Bruno Fernandes. He doesn't get free kicks and pens anymore and all he does is complain

he is facing the same problem that he does in the national team....has to pass the ball to cronaldo.

indeed useless player whenever that happens. goes from a sure thing and top form in united to a no show in games. really feels like our national team.

Honestly wouldn't surprise me if Man U ends up drawing with Burnley 1-1

Interesting game though, Burnley given as good as they're taking here, but scoreline shows a more clinical man utd, but Burnley not been awful here.

left side with shaw + sancho was clinical - right side with awb + greenwood not so much

also it boggles me that maguire is still starting games - what a bum

yeah get the fridge off the pitch.
lennons goal was so casually slotted into the corner it even shocked burnley fans.
and maguire has this really bad habit of wanting to prove himself on the ball for some reason so he always holds up play looking for a pass or carries the ball forward. wish he would just play the easy pass to a better player quicker ffs
