Manchester City bought Savinho (flop) for £30.8M and sold him for £85M. Chelsea bought Delap (flop) for £30M and sold him for £45M upfront. Real Madrid sold academy graduate Gonzalo Garcia for £40M. INEOS paid Spurs £4M + £4M for Tynan Thompson who has not played a single first team minute. And now they’re selling Toby Collyer for just £3. A player with valuable first team experience at Manchester United and Championship experience. This is another example of how poorly Manchester United are marketing and valuing the players in the transfer market. What is wrong with this club?

It was a switch of play and he took his man 1v1. No one in the box and what he did was give away the ball cheaply with zero probability of scoring or hitting the target. If it was an attacker with high probability of hitting the target, it would have been okay to have a go but Dalot? It was a waste of attempt from him.

Dalot himself knows he has no chance to convert from there. His finishing is amongst the worst as a full back. He had the opportunity to actually hold that ball. One more second with the ball and Amad was making a run towards the box for a cut back. Teams like Arsenal and Manchester City would recycle possession in that area and wait to have plenty bodies in and around the box to suffocate the opponents. What Dalot has done there is that he has just given Bournemouth the ball to start their attack yet you wonder why we’re 16th. Timber or Ben White tried that under Arteta, they won’t hear the last of it. His reaction alone would indicate they’ve made a big mess of an important passage of play.

You won the Premier League and finished runners up in the UEFA Champions League, yet only your defensive minded players out of the whole team was ranked and your highest-ranked player is 15th. What a haram institution!!!!

A sensible player would recycle possession for us there. You don’t have to be a professional footballer to know that not every attack needs to be rushed. These little things are what makes us a bad team individually and collectively.

Before Bruno Fernandes, the last Manchester United player to feature in the Ballon d’Or rankings was Cristiano Ronaldo in 2022. Bruno has been the heartbeat of this club through years of inconsistency, managerial changes and disappointment. Despite the chaos around him, he has continued to deliver, putting Manchester United back on the map through his performances, consistency and individual excellence. He deserves far more appreciation and respect than he gets. Manchester United are truly fortunate to have him.

Declan Rice won the Premier League but didn’t win a single individual award over Bruno Fernandes. Bruno who won the FWA Player of the Year, Premier League Player of the Season and PFA Players’ Player of the Year without winning a single trophy. Mbappe finished as the top scorer in La Liga, the Champions League and the World Cup. Yamal’s strongest competition was La Liga. He was inconsistent in both the Champions League and the World Cup. It’s an individual award and if individual brilliance matters, the award shouldn’t be decided by trophies alone.
