๐ŸฟItโ€™s a bit ironic, but if this plays out, itโ€™s a tactical masterclass from Manchester United. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Brighton CEO Paul Barber is notorious for not putting an asking price out there. The model is basically: come to us, tell us your price, and weโ€™ll discuss. United didnโ€™t play that game last summer or in January. Instead, they activated the player, agreed terms, and Baleba only wanted United. Then Newcastle opened talks and suddenly Brightonโ€™s valuation was revealed: ยฃ60โ€“65M. United can now swoop in, just like with ล eลกko, knowing exactly what Brighton actually value Baleba at and get the deal done. Once again, United used Newcastle like the first three runners in a 4x100m relay. They let them do the hard yards, took the baton, and sprinted the final 100m. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ด #MUFC #Baleba

Let's be clear. Erik ten Hag is speaking out, but there's another side to this story the media seems reluctant to explore. What about the controversy surrounding his agent, SEG, where his son worked, and the questions raised over transfer dealings at Manchester United? Were potential conflicts of interest properly investigated? Were there financial arrangements that deserve closer scrutiny? And why did Bayer Leverkusen sack him after just two Bundesliga games? I'm not claiming fraud was proven. I'm asking whether we're getting the full story. There's more to this than simply saying Ten Hag wasn't backed. #MUFC

I'm breaking my silence. Manchester United will never return to its former glory until there is a fundamental change in ownership. Sacking Michael Carrick is yet another example of the same failed playbook. Blame the manager, distract the fans, launch another PR campaign, and deflect attention from the real problem: the incompetence and lack of accountability at boardroom level. Manager after manager has come and gone. Different philosophies, different players, different promises. Yet the same failures continue. At what point do we stop blaming the managers and start holding the people running this football club accountable? I no longer believe our owners genuinely prioritise winning. Manchester United has become a commercial machine where the brand generates money regardless of what happens on the pitch. And perhaps that's the biggest tragedy. Our loyalty is being monetised, our frustration exploited, and our misery has become part of their business model. I have supported this club through the highs and lows, but for the first time, I genuinely fear for its future. Manchester United was built on ambition, courage, pride and winning. Not corporate excuses, endless rebuilds and PR spin. The managers keep changing. The promises keep changing. The results don't. The problem isn't the dugout. It's the boardroom. Enough is enough. #GlazersAndRatCliffeOut OUT. ๐Ÿ”ด

a much better united side from the first half showing fight. This have been the best defence of the Season so far. Stand out for me have been the midfield in Beleba Teilemans and Santos. Bruno is lost on the left side and I would like to see him back as no 10. Let us not sit back second half to protect the lead let's go forward to score the Second. Pray for 3 points

These fuckers better delivery today I still don't understand why shoe horn in Dalot as left back and Bruno as left wing. Wouldn't it be better to play Bruno in the no 10 and Cunha as left wing. I pray for this to work and 3 points not a draw or loss. Let's go reds. #MUFC

The only thing Carrick hasn't tried is to play Rashford as no 9. We tried Mbuemo that doesn't work, we tried Cunha that doesn't work. Zirkzee is not a solution either. This team desperately need Goals and I can't see who.

How about this Jimbo, we seen enough of you to criticise. Cutting cost and not investing in the summer window.
๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ”ดSIR JIM RATCLIFFE BREAKS HIS SILENCE ON LISANDRO MARTรNEZ! ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ๐ŸŽ™Sir Jim Ratcliffe: ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ"Let me make one thing absolutely clear: no player is bigger than Manchester United. Not the captain, not the vice-captain, not the most expensive signing, and certainly not someone who believes that wearing this shirt gives him the right to publicly question the people responsible for running this football club." ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ"I have seen Lisandro Martรญnez's comments, and frankly, I am extremely disappointed. There is a difference between demanding higher standards and publicly undermining the club's leadership. If he has concerns about our technical department, he should raise them through the proper channels instead of creating unnecessary controversy in the media." ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ"Manchester United is not a club where every player gets to decide who deserves to keep their job. We have executives, technical staff, and a structure designed to make decisions in the best interests of this institution. Those decisions will not always please everyone, but that does not give any player permission to turn a dressing-room disagreement into a public confrontation." ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ"Let me also address his comments about Michael Carrick. If Martรญnez believes the manager deserves more support, he is entitled to that opinion. However, supporting a manager should not become an excuse to attack other members of the organisation. You cannot demand unity while publicly creating divisions within the same club." ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ"At Manchester United, accountability works in both directions. We hold managers accountable for results, executives accountable for recruitment, and players accountable for their performances, discipline, and conduct. Nobody receives special treatment simply because they have a strong personality or enjoy popularity among the supporters." ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ"If a player believes the club is failing, he should demonstrate leadership by helping us improve on the pitch. He should train harder, perform consistently, and help his teammates win football matches. Press conferences and public statements will not win us the Premier League." ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ"Let me be clear about the possible consequences. If the club determines that a player has breached his contractual obligations or internal disciplinary rules, we will consider the appropriate response in accordance with our policies and the terms of his contract." ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ"That could include a formal meeting with the player, an official warning, a disciplinary review, or other proportionate measures where justified. If the circumstances warrant further action, we will examine the options available to the club under the applicable rules." ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ"Nobody should interpret this as a threat against Martรญnez. It is a reminder that the same standards apply to everyone. We will not punish a player simply for expressing a genuine concern, but we will not ignore conduct that crosses the line into undermining the club's collective responsibilities." ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ"I did not come to Manchester United to spend my time managing public disagreements between highly paid footballers and the people responsible for building this institution. I came here because this club must compete for the biggest trophies in football again." ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ"We need players who understand the difference between individual opinions and collective responsibility. We need leaders who can challenge decisions professionally, accept difficult answers, and remain committed to the team's objectives." ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ"Martรญnez is a talented footballer, and nobody is questioning his commitment simply because he has spoken out. But talent does not put anyone above the club. If he wants to lead Manchester United into a successful future, he must understand that leadership involves more than speaking boldly when emotions are running high." -AN IMAGINED RANT- x.com/primevideosport/statusโ€ฆ

This statement is clearly now club pr telling him off say this or.....
๐Ÿšจ Lisandro Martรญnez statement. โคต๏ธ Following everything that has been said about my comments yesterday, I want to share some thoughts on what I said and how I feel. After the match, I spoke out of anger and frustration at not getting the result we all wanted. Those who know me know how I live football, with passion, commitment and a huge desire to win. And when things donโ€™t go our way, it hurts, especially when representing a club with the history and stature of Manchester United. My words reflect how I feel and how much I want to see this club competing for the biggest honours. Those high standards are part of how I see football and the responsibility that comes with wearing this shirt. When I talk about wanting more, Iโ€™m talking about the ambition we must all have as part of this club. To keep growing, to become stronger and to have everything we need to compete at the highest level. These are standards we must all hold ourselves to, starting with me. I know that, first and foremost, itโ€™s us, the players, who have to deliver, and I put myself at the front of that responsibility. We need to demand even more of ourselves and work together to take Manchester United back to the top. I believe in my teammates, our manager and everyone working to help this club move forward. Iโ€™m convinced that the way forward is to keep working together, with ambition and commitment. My goal has been the same since day one, to win, to compete at the highest level and to give everything I have for this badge.

Ineos stewardship of Manchester United is really not acceptable. Athletico Madrid away in October in the CL. No left back on the squad. Everyone could see the need for one this summer. They will sign a left back next season. The Glazers have robbed the club bare for a decade โ€” and instead of supporting it financially โ€” Ratcliffeโ€™s idea is to cut costs. Sickening.

๐ŸŽ‚ Another Birthday. Another Celebration of Life. โค๏ธ My life has always been a journey, never a destination. Through the highs and lows, the beautiful moments and the lessons learned, I have come to realise that life's greatest blessings are not measured by what we achieve or possess, but by the love we give, the love we receive, and the lives we touch along the way. I feel truly blessed to have remained humble, to have loved deeply, and to have been loved in return. I carry gratitude for everyone who has crossed my path, whether they stayed for a lifetime or simply became part of my journey. Another year older, another year wiser, but still the same soul, full of love, energy, curiosity, and passion for life. The journey continues, and the best chapters are still unwritten. โค๏ธ๐Ÿฅ‚ #CelebrationOfLife #BirthdayReflections #Gratitude #LoveAndLife
