Exactly. FM players are literally playing because they love football. The Glazers have never cared about football, much less Man Utd. Compare that to the amount of time and investment they make into the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it's night and day.

[@nictheperson6709]

The football manager AI literally does a better job than real United

[@endlessmotion2255]

Hojlund has simply settled, Jamie, that's all. We signed him when he was carrying an injury, he's 20 years of age leading the line as Utd's only striker at the club, came into the side when performances and confidence was already on the floor. 6 months in he's now fit, started to build a relationship with his teammates and now the goals are flowing. Let's not forget he was the joint leading goalscorer in the Champions League too after the group games were completed. I don't think anybody was saying Ratcliffe and Ineos are responsible for Utd scoring a few goals and picking up some wins.

I give a lot of credit to Rasmus as the service is still incredibly poor. In the Premier league only one of his goals was from a direct assist from his team mate (shaw pass from the wolves game) Today was a shot from Gernacho, against Villa it was simply maguire just getting on the end of a cross. It amazes me how the pundits don't talk about this.

The Constant protests against the Glazers are also unsettling for the players. They don't have that anymore. It's been silenced due to the incoming of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, because we are suddenly talkiong about the right appointments, we are talking about revamping/rebuilding Old Trafford. SJR is doing what Players and Fans expected of the Glazers, even if it is simply showing up at the Munich Disaster Memorial Service. It changes the way Fans respond to the club and it influences how the players feel about the club. It also changes the confidence the manager has in the future of the club.

Well have targets that match what the director of football plan is to get us playing a football.that wins matches and pleases the fans. Alot of these players are not good enough or have a mix match of players for different styles/ teams Maguire Rashford Onana Martial Sancho Eriksen Casemiro Perhaps even Bruno need to go Varane for sure is off in summer sadly too.

Same goes for Mctominay and Garnacho and a few others,, fully committed. That's the absolute minimum requirement for a Manchester United player.
