-Tell me a joke.
-But I may warn you, you need to control yourself. This can be deadly.
-Let's see. I am ready.
-Title Challenge!!!
-Yeah. Then?
-It's over.
-Are you kidding me? It didn't even start!
-But it's bigger than United's one.

You may argue they are doing better and they are rebuilding. Yeah, they are doing it every year but fail successfully every time. People called Ronaldo selfish and a traitor for talking about their mentality. Well, Mourinho said so, and so did Pogba. After winning against City media and some naive supporters didn't hold back. They talked like Ronaldo was the main problem without even playing. Well, that guy showed his class against the best team, scoring twice. But it wasn't enough. The agenda is unreal. I will not talk about this today; maybe some other day. Today it's about United.

Today even Eric Ten Hag also talked about the mentality of the players. He wasn't shy to be critical. Winning trophy is not a possibility when hunger is missing.
One good match and they forgot everything. Even with Palace they had fewer on target shots. This is how the situation stands for now. You may see a United in top four but I see a lucky United where others are struggling. Truths need to be told. United is more of a brand than a team. This is the reality today which is dark my friend.
You may see Ten Hag as a master mind. Is he though? What he did to stop Odegaard and Saka. Was it taken care of? It's just Rashford having a good season and Bruno being Bruno. Casemiro is doing what he does. Just look at Ancelotti. They guy benched Kroos & Modric and played Ceballos. He knows how to manage his players. He started Asensio as well. Mark my word he will not cut game time from Kroos and Modric. Against Bilbo that was needed with Asensio being the extra Midfielder and Ceballos being a better option than Kroos in dribbling and taking less time to distribute in a high intense match. And man how good he was. For me it's nothing new. I was never pleased with Zidane.
But when it's come to Ten Hag why Garnacho is not getting more minutes? Does he need to grow older or take a Captain America syrum to start. This boy can dictate a match. Remember the win against City. Who ruined the plans of Guardiola.
When asked about Casemiro not playing in the clash the way Ten Hag answered. Not a big deal but is it not necessary to praise his players as well? He loaned in Weghorst. The guy finished the full match with zero shot in total. Just think about the service a striker gets. But when it's Ronaldo no matter what only he is to blame.

Just look at the match against the Gunners. Less shot on target. Less attempt. Just not less it's a divisible count. If you divide the total shot of Gunnesr in half and do it again it's still more than United's. Missing someone?
If you commented more I could have submitted the post for curation but as it stands I can't as you are not busy enough.
I was out of Hive for a long time. I am on the way to be regular once again.
And never pleased with Zidane? Hehe.
Anyways, your post has some interesting bits here and there. Cabellos a player I admire for his strong mentality and passing skills. Does Ancelloti have a choice really? Casemiro is gone,it's never going to be thesame. These other guys in the midfield are not 30yrs,hardly any midfielder in the top leagues older than them. So it's not rocket science for the bench(eg Cabellos) to be given the opportunity to impress.
On United,well perhaps we can invite a United fan to give you are reply.
Goodmorning.
Cheers and welcome back
I hope you watched the last match where Ceballos and Asensio were impressive. Ancelotti always prefers his regular players but when it matters he isn't shy about taking the action.
There is a reason why Valverde(Bilbo manager) said such things about him. Never heard any coach said such things. This guy is really awesome. Just look at Everton! With him and without him?
Man even Teg Hag himself was pissed with the players.
I actually thought Manchester United will humble Arsenal I was wrong, yes United has put itself in the race for the title but it seems they are still lacking that monster mentality to win trophies as you talked about, but the season is not over let's see who it goes for the devils.
United still needs a 9. Sancho is not being used? Don't know whats going on.
Building a team is a process. Cristiano needed to go because he is not that good anymore, hence, no other top club wanted to sign him. Not to mention, it was Cristiano who left. Using a handful of games as an indication is just wrong. Cristiano didn't score in his first two official games in the Saudi league yet using that as an indication is wrong. Manchester United, overall, are better at the moment.
It's not about Ronaldo. It's about what he and others said. It's about mentality. Do Ronaldo needs to prove himself again? I haven't seen a better clutch player than him.
Cristiano doesn't have to prove anything until you add his big mouth into the equation, leaving him either a hypocrite or an idiot, that's according to what Cristiano himself said. Everything Ten Had or Bruno said is literally still true.
Then yeah, it's a building phase and Weghorst is just a temporary part of the building process since the strikers' options available this winter aren't great. You're not owed a new explanation, they brought in a new coach and that coach is building a new team, and yes, the team is doing better now than last season.
Mate I said Weghorst is a decent player. I talked about the service he got as a striker. No shooting opportunity! Even Ten Hag was pissed with the team. He said all in the press conference. He is the guy who talked about mentality.
I don't think you're paying attention to what you're saying here.
