United 2 trophies in the last 2 seasons.. Liverpool 1 Arsenal 0 Chelsea 0 Aston Villa 0 Spurs 0 Newcastle 0 😂😂😂😂 Ten Hag is a trophy machine 🏆

[@Redballoon99]

ETH has won 2 trophies in 2 years, while dealing with the nonsense of ronaldo - greenwood - rashford - sancho - antony They finished 6 pts (2 games) off top 4 while dealing with over 60 injuries to key personel playing evans in more games than any defender. and only having 1 striker. If united can half the injuries they will walk into top 4. if they can add personel and remove deadwood - GREAT even better may push for 3rd and 2nd. but anyone who think ETH has not done well in context of the season and what happened behind the sceens on and off the pitch - should have a voice

Im happy with the early transfer business but lets see. There's a long way to go yet. We had pretty much no competition for Zirkzee, and no other team was prepared to pay what we did for yoro. I'm happy with the speed we've done it. Lot of work to do yet. We need to sign at least one more cb, 2 cms if we're letting amrabat go, and a rb, plus some more clearing out to get done

[@bossmanbirdie3044]

Need to slow down with the expectations. We’ve signed two players in the window so far. Released 4 players and Sold 4. One being a academy star that we sold out of duress. We need to complete all our transfer targets before we even consider lighting our cigars. We played decent against Rangers, but lest we forget it’s a friendly against Rangers. We need to relax and wait to see the process. At the beginning of last season we all thought we were going to build upon ETH winning a trophy and finishing in the top 4, and we all know how that ended. Let’s just be calm and wait to see how the first 5 PL games go before we start predicting.
