My unpopular opinion is that we should vote on threads that we comment in.

[–]DarmianLVG 9ポイント10ポイント  (7子コメント)

I want Fellaini to stay. Time and time again he has performed when it matters and has won games for us. Sure, his football isn't the prettiest, but in several games he has offered us exactly what we needed.

[–]tammodiruud van nistelrooy tra la la la la 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

Not to mention he really gives a shit about the team. I've never been happier when Fellaini scores. You can see what it means to him to play for United.

[–]DarmianLVG 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Exactly. It'll be these passionate players who bring us back to the top.

[–]ijd17Uncle Ant 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

I actually agree with this

[–]LDN2016 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

He's put in more match winning goals, big game performances and iconic moments in the last 2 years than all of Basti, Mata, Ander and Blind combined.

He's got serious limitations but I think he's a fucking fantastic tactical option. He totally bullies Matic and Yaya every single match he plays agaisnt them. He's often the difference against physical teams like S'oton, West Ham and Watford.

The problem is not that Fellaini doesn't do a great job once in a while. It's that there are players out there who can do the same job more consistently and more.

[–]DarmianLVG 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't disagree with that. There are times when I have been disappointed to see Fellaini starting, but there are games that absolutely scream for him. I think he'll he missed against West Ham next week.

[–]ManUChao7Memphis -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Renato is done deal Bastian will be back next season so I don't think there is room for Fellaini. We need a way better CAM if we are going to stick with 4-2-3-1 formation and I just can't see big Fella staying with us.

[–]danskzwag 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Carrick is massively over rated

[–]danskzwag 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

Fellaini being good in the air is a myth he regularly gets outjumped

[–]shinkag 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Blind having good positional awareness and Darmian being great at defending are myths too. Blind has cost us time and time again while Darmian was made a fool of by several wingers. Darmian is a good defender but not great, having said that I don't think we've seen the best he has to offer.

[–]D1794Viva Ronaldo 10ポイント11ポイント  (9子コメント)

I don't think there is anything wrong with our board.

[–]Mustard93 5ポイント6ポイント  (2子コメント)

Haha go on then, I'll bite. Reasons? (other than you don't rant to be fired!).

[–]DatGuyRichMartial 14/12. DAMN SON 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

For a start it made no sense to sack LVG in December

[–]tammodiruud van nistelrooy tra la la la la 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I get you might have disagreed, but "no sense". Really?

I think Van Gaal should have gone in the christmas period. He had shown no progress at all in United's play and the performances were getting worse and top 3 was fading away.

[–]ijd17Uncle Ant 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

people are downvoting an unpopular opinion in an unpopular opinion thread, lol. In regards to your comment, why do you have that opinion?

[–]D1794Viva Ronaldo 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

Well, for starters, our board isn't just 1 person. Our board is not solely Ed Woodward, which a lot of people seem to think...

Whilst our board is made up with a large amount of the Glazer family, and they riddled us with the insane debt, are they currently holding us back? I'd argue not. You hear all the time that our board are wank. But then you get the news that we'll be getting over £100m a season from kit sponsors alone. Which will allow us to buy players who we all like. Who set about achieving those deals? The board.

Ed Woodward was covered in glory when signing Di Maria, Falcao, Basti, Schneiderlin, Memphis (to name a few). And he doesn't make ONE decision (Admittedly, a decision i want to happen) and all of a sudden the entire board is inept?! Give me a break. I've said it before and i'll say it again. We have NO idea what goes on at boardroom level. We get what the media feeds us, which could be total bollocks. How do we know the board haven't already decided to sack Louis? How do we know the board haven't decided on Jose already, but want to give him a fresh season to begin? We don't. We get a quote from the media saying LVG might not be sacked and it's 'our board are shit bla bla bla'

A shit board would allow LVG to stay for a decade playing the way we do. Our board is not shit. The blame from LVG's failures are spreading. I see people blaming the board regarding our transfer policy...WHAT?! They get told by the manager who to buy, and they fork out for him. A shit board would have shook their heads at £36m for Martial and he'd have gone to Juventus or something. They pull it out of the bag time and time again. If it doesn't work out, it aint their fault, it's LVG's.

Yes LVG should have been replaced a while ago. That was a mistake. We just need to see what happens in the summer. If we let Jose go and continue with LVG's boring style of play, they can come under scrutiny. For now, nah.

I'm not sure that any user on this sub legitimately thinks that "the board" is just Ed Woodward.

[–]tammodiruud van nistelrooy tra la la la la 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Though despite that I think these past couple of years have been a big eye opener for them

[–]obadetonaHerrera na na naaaa 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Care to explain? I doubt even they would agree.

[–]D1794Viva Ronaldo 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I explained in a reply to another comment

[–]danskzwag 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

Rooney is a a bang average midfielder

[–]WhovianMoakSchweinsteiger 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I can't say I completely agree. But I think he is an far above average captain. I think his leadership on the pitch is really important. And he does some things, like tracking back to save our asses on defense, far better than the other options there. If he plays next season like he has in 2016, I will be happy to see him in that role.

[–]ZoidbergTheHeroMartial 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

I think Memphis has been really good when he has played... especially since that game against Midtjylland. I'll agree he has issue's with tracking back, but going forward I think he offers a massive threat. We know he can cut inside but he can constantly puts in really good balls with left bombing down the flank and always tries something different/creative.

[–]tammodiruud van nistelrooy tra la la la la 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

The issue is that FC Midtjylland are 4th in the Danish league. People want to see performances against bigger teams.

[–]jonnyshHerrera 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think the club needs a massive talent injection. I think the only kind of buy we should be doing is replacing players that we sell.

On that note, I think Mata needs to be sold.

[–]TanqPhilWoodward! 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Constantly posting that United, owners to boards to Woodward to manager to players, are absolute shit in every thread on this sub does not make United better. It drives supporters away and shows immaturity/spoiled attitude/lack of perspective.

If your opinion is based on newspaper articles, you are a complete and utter fool who does not understand advertizing.

A significant percentage of posters (more importantly upvoters) are not United supporters, but instead ABUs spoiling threads. United fans could not possibly hate United that much. " If I bitch enough on Reddit, United will win faster!" No, it pisses off real supporters...kill yourself, prick.

3 fucking years on Reddit, only 6000 karma, obviously I don't give a single fuck about downvotes. Come at me, assholes.

[–]OrcnickThe 3 R's 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think we should cash in on lingard in the summer. He's had great season and I cannot fault his commitment and love for the club. But he's a replaceable player and we need someone with more quality. He's reminds a bit of welbeck, lots of hard working but he was not quite united quality.

Of course I am always open to be proven wrong but I just don't see a future for him as any more then a bench player once a better RM joins :/

[–]itsandercontrolDarmian 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Memphis is massively overrated by this sub. Lingard has played better than him recently and should rightfully keep Memphis out the team.

[–]tammodiruud van nistelrooy tra la la la la 0ポイント1ポイント  (10子コメント)

Memphis shouldn't be sold this Summer. I know he's had an underwhelming year but I really think he needs more time. He clearly has talent. We need more patience with youth.

[–]yiyiyiyiHerrera 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Selling him would be nuts. You might as well give him another year to see if he can kick on. If he does then we've potentially got a world class player. If he doesn't we don't lose anything by keeping him a year.

[–]knoxisbackDe Gea 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

This isn't unpopular, more 50-50.

[–]AveLuciferGiggsy! 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

So it's unpopular with 50% of people.

[–]jbiresqHerrera 0ポイント1ポイント  (6子コメント)

On the other hand, I believe if we get a good offer for him he'll go.

[–]tammodiruud van nistelrooy tra la la la la 1ポイント2ポイント  (5子コメント)

What's a good offer to you? United aren't a selling club. Whether a player is sold or not isn't decided by the size of the offer as much as with other clubs. (Ronaldo the exception)

[–]LDN2016 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'm happy to sell him if:

(i) we make break even AND

(ii) reinvest the money in a better forward, young or already established e.g. if Memphis money goes to buy Dembele or towards a bid for James/Griezmann.

.

Do not want to sell him to make squad space for an academy player or pick up someone mediocre like Sadio Mane.

[–]tammodiruud van nistelrooy tra la la la la 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Why on earth would Griezman join us. Where has this come from? Griezman isn't leaving Atletico.

[–]jbiresqHerrera 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

I mean if someone offers close to what we paid so we could recoup the investment. I just feel there's something beneath the surface we're not hearing about. But, I don't think that offer will come in so he'll stay.

[–]tammodiruud van nistelrooy tra la la la la 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I just feel there's something beneath the surface we're not hearing about.

I've been gutted to see his name on the bench as much as it has been this year. I'd have wanted him to start over Lingard more than he has done, even if it means playing on the right.

[–]LDN2016 3ポイント4ポイント  (2子コメント)

Valencia, Carrick, Rooney, Fellaini, Rashford and Lingard have all outperformed Darmian, Rojo, Morgan, Ander, Mata and Memphis.

Martial, Shaw and maybe Blind are the only players we've bought that have shown they're good enough for a title winning team.

I think if we listened to most of this sub's opinions about our old guard and academy products we'd be 10th right now instead of 5th.

I still think they need replacing but I'm only willing to move Carrick out of the starting XI if you can bring in someone as good as Modric or Veratti. Not someone as good as Morgan. I'm happy to move Valencia out of the team for Carvajal, not for Darmian. I'm happy to move Lingard out of the team if we buy Griezmann, not to play Memphis. I'm happy to move Rooney on for Kroos or Vidal, not for Ander or Mata.

.

I think too many people have a mentality of change for change's sake even if it's not an improvement. I think all of that old guard needs upgrading, I just have much higher standards for what kind of players constitutes an upgrade on them.
