In my books Bruno Fernandes has proved to be both club and league legend.. no doubt

Am I the only United fan feeling like we're on international break??

This is not just footbal, it’s dominance

Harsh truth: Manchester United cannot carry injury passengers anymore.

Talent is useless if the manager can’t actually use you.

Next season we’re competing for 4 trophies. Availability matters just as much as ability.

Look at this:

Matthijs De Ligt
Last seen: 30 Nov 2025
Lower back injury. Initially reported as a 2-week absence.
It’s now months later and he’s still nowhere to be seen.

Lisandro Martínez
Last seen: 10 Feb 2026
Rumored minor knock. Supposed to be less than a week out.
It’s been over a month.

Mason Mount
Last seen: 2 Feb 2026
At this point he has replaced Anthony Martial in the sick room hall of fame.
Gets fit, plays 1–2 games, disappears for another month.
The cycle repeats.

Listen, I rate all three of them. Their talent is not the problem.

But football at the highest level is brutal:

If you’re not available, you’re not reliable.

United cannot keep building squads around players who spend half the season in recovery.

Sell them. Replace them with players who can actually stay on the pitch.

It would hurt, but this problem has to be solved.

Availability is a skill. If you don’t think so then refer to Diogo Dalot.

🚨🗣️Arteta: "We want to be the first team in England to win a treble".

Seems he missed history classes! 😂🤡

🚨 Benjamin Šeško, who lives near Manchester Airport, had double-glazed windows installed in his home after realising that the constant air traffic was severely disrupting his sleep.

The Slovenian player also uses a virtual reality headset that recreates scenarios from the matches he plays to improve his "scanning" skills.

Micheal Carrick hasn’t stayed three months, he’s done almost everything Ruben Amorim did but the reactions from the fan base were rather worse for the latter.

Both coaches lost to 10 men sides
Both coaches have played players out of position
Both coaches made strange substitutions

Of course they have looked to the sky for ideas too

🚨🚨 NOTE | Marcus Rashford was on about £300k–£325k a week at Manchester United, making him one of the club’s top earners.

United saved big by loaning him out, with FC Barcelona covering the full salary for 2025/26 season after Rashford even accepted a pay cut to around €270k per week.

Bro dropped 10G/10A+ for them this season, yet Culés crashing out 'he can't shoot' when money talks.

United have moved on. If Barcelona wants him, they should just pay the fee and stop being ungrateful to a player who slashed his wages by 15% to be with them.

Harda Gooner since Bellingham’s injury:
