this stagnation at the club is totally down to the stubbornness of Ineos - they needed to buy a world class proven striker since last season they bought a back up striker ie Hojlund but the tw@ttys go and buy another back up striker ie Zirkzee - so there is no one to score goals at United - the last two years they haven't scored goals and they still are not doing so or still will not because they are not buying a player who can actually score - its an utterly moronic way to run a football club
next season all they need is a replacement for Luke Shaw (cheap) and just blow the rest of the budget on an actual world class striker - otherwise there will be zero improvement at United
they also need to just get rid of :
1) Christian Ericksen
2) Casemiro
3) Rashford (in current form he is just another Anthony Martial)
4) Antony
5) Harry Maguire (despite his recent improvement)
all ASAP
and we also have to acknowledge that Ohnono is just a disaster waiting to happen at our goal net every game
come on, we getting there last season we talking about getting rid of Martial, Varane, Greenwood, Sancho, Rashford and Scott McTominay (not really my choice as he was scoring)
We have done just that, now we need to move on Casemiro, Rashford, Lindelof, Antony, Evans, Eriksen and Shaw then we should be good next season

Hopefully Dan Gore and Collyer can establish themselves next season so all we need is a LB and a Poacher - not many around tho
There is hope for next season - I did mention it will take another 2 seasons before we competing for a top 4
This season so far we have improved a lot less time to wake up in the first half, the chances from crosses, set plays and movement is coming along.
Now we just need someone to finish off those half chances. The identity is starting to take shape and the style of play is improving
