Just because he made a quippy quote at the start of his tenure doesn’t make his performance any less outrageously bad.

It doesn’t, and the league form should be a whole lot better

Given the context of United in 2025 I’m surprised by the reaction more than the results honestly

Right but the revolving door of managers has worked so well so far

Almost like there’s a lot more going on that most moronic United fans won’t acknowledge

But no bring in your Flick or Xavi, they’ll get Hojlund scoring and do what the last 12 years of “insert star manager name here” hasn’t been able to Im sure of it!

This group of players is not good enough for UCL.

I hope we win the Europa sack Ruben and bring in whatever hot name the morons want. Reality checks will be rough

He's been begging to get fired since his first interview I swear

xPts last season had us at 15th

Today were 16th

Maybe you can’t polish a turd

Who said anything about UCL? Is this group of players good enough to finish mid table at least? 8th? Definitely.

We’re 16th. Probably 17th after next Sunday. Yes we’ve had a revolving door of managers, but not a single one of them was this bad and even Ralf during his interim 6 month spell didn’t do what Ruben is up to.

And he literally got to have his ugarte CM previous system player, and dorgu for his wing back role. So he needs another 8 players and then something will click? When you show zero progress in 6 months, how many more months do you get to say ‘oh but for sporting he did it just wait’. How long are you waiting?

16th. -11 GD.

We thought we were in the trenches bc we weren’t title challengers, we didn’t know how good we had it

Ffs and we’re supposed to just say yeah let’s give this dude the 200m bankroll to get his players. It’ll be dark if he buys system specific guys that have no role when the next manager that plays 4 at the back comes in.

he needs come out strong even in preseason. especially after we just realized we're playing the mid table slog of Everton bournemouth Leeds etc. if he doesnt win every friendly like 4-1 OR show that we are now capable of stringing together more than 5 passes outside of our centre backs, that leash is so short anything less than like 3 out of 4 wins in august and he should be sacked.

Let me tell you now, it won’t happen

The post I replied to was about UCL football

You all wanted a rebuild until you actually had to go through one

Immediate success isn’t reality in United’s current state - no manager changes that

what does a rebuild have to do with showing zero positive signs of progression in 6 months? what is the reason for that? Ruben is so special that he just needs 2 years to get our 'shitty' players to fit his system?

If somebody wants him take that money and run, dude is a bum.

Pointless ad-hominem

What's worst about the Ugarte signing is that unlike most other signings of the last years it wasn't a ETH signing, he would have kept McTominay. It just confirms that INEOS also have no idea what they're doing regarding transfers, and thats really worrying.

at least they havent chased and then fired/'re-assigned' half their key exec hires. oh wait.

In one post you agree none of our players would get in the 11 of a top 4 team

In another you want him to win every game 4-1

Yes he should do better. But the expectations are low. This isn’t a good enough side. It’s not a 16th placed side but it’s not good enough to be much better. By all accounts we should’ve finished 15th last year too.

This is the worst attack in a United side in at least 27 years - I’ve not seen a worse one

Revolving door

This club has struggled to sack managers at the opportune time year in year out since SAF’s departure

There isn’t a single manager who hasn’t overstayed his welcome post SAF

You know it’s bad when the Amoriminners are dropping the “who should replace him?!?!!” line instead of giving you genuine reasons why a manager who has 6 wins in 25 matches should continue to be afforded time and more importantly a whole budget to blow.

The ten Hag defence.

Being delusional about this is crazy

Well who should replace him? There’s so many admitted gaping holes in this side the fact you want to back the players over the manager in this instance is bizarre.

This side was tailor made to a Dutch manager who didn’t understand the league. It failed with a 4 back. Failed with a 3 back. Maybe, just maybe this set of players just isn’t good enough?

Like I said last season we were on paper expected to finish 15th. We’re 16th now. Two different managers two different styles of play. Well the first one didn’t really have a style of play but you get the point.

In one breath we’re bemoaning how s*** the players we have are, yet in the next were bombarding the manager for being unable to get any life out of them.

He’s not invincible, he shouldn’t stay forever but the idea of sacking him now is absolutely terrible and I know that’s unpopular in the world of getting likes and reactions and whatever else but I am adamant its the truth
