So the Europa league wasn’t meant to be for us unfortunately. However it was a great trip aside from the football, loved Basque Country. Both Bilbao and San SebastiΓ‘n are incredible cities.

Here we go then.

✈️ Bilbao

Went from excitedly looking up flights to Bilbao at half time, to frustration at full time, to being apoplectic with rage halfway through extra time, to astonishment and joy at the final whistle.

Football eh. What a ride.

A game that will live long in the memory. Even the morning after I still don’t know what to say or how we’ve done it… but our season is still alive!

Had a great day over at FCUM for β€œUnited United day”.

Two clubs with a shared love of MUFC and a shared hatred of Glazers. Decent ground, I’ll have to get myself down there more often.

Thats twice this week I’ve left Old Trafford happy with how the team have played. Makes a change. Really clear to see progress is being made. Let’s hope it continues.

Our best performance in ages and a result to match, the European dream lives on. Really pleased with that.

Fernandes obviously the hero but other players with good contributions too, especially Dorgu who was phenomenal.

The one thing I can deeply respect about Ratcliffe is he’s being very open and accountable here. He didn’t have to do these interviews and it’s a level of communication we never had from the Glazers.

The pair next to me are often resold so it’s very possible!

Just so refreshing to leave a game at Old Trafford feeling positive isn’t it. Been a while.

Thursday is such a big game. Need to build on this performance and get the stadium rocking. We’ve got this.

So refreshing to come away from a home game with more positives than negatives. Don’t think he’s far off a start

Just so glad to come away from that knowing we’ve given our all and played well. Have to build on this.

Didn’t realise that was Ayden Heaven’s PL debut today, would never have guessed watching him. Thought he’s started his United career well and isn’t far off a start.

De Ligt & Mazraoui excellent defensively too.

That game came to life after Bruno’s superb free kick. Really entertaining second half where we had the better chances, on another day one goes in and we get the win.

Best we’ve played in a while. Happy with the team today πŸ‘

Not fussed about playing Arsenal on Sunday. Meaningless game, we’ve got nothing to play for in the league. All attention should be on the 2nd leg.

Would be calling for Amorim to rest players if we had anyone fit and available to come in.

06.03.2025 21:44 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Have to start using this again…

Missed the game but happy with a draw. Normally that’d put us in a good position with the 2nd leg to come at Old Trafford. This year with our home form? Who knows.

Successful evening down in London πŸ‘ Always like heading over to Fulham. One of the best aways in the league.

Ruben Amorim: "The fans deserve it. It's amazing. It's not normal. I know you guys are used to this environment, but it's not normal. Congratulations to our fans. It's a big privilege to work for this club and give them wins.

Very fortunate to win that game. Not a great performance, bit of luck for the goal, but I’ll take it. Our first clean sheet for ages too, looked more solid at the back especially Maguire.

This team is crying out for some new faces before the window closes. We’ve got a manager who plays a system heavily reliant on wingbacks yet doesn’t have any. Rashford will need replacing too. We have such little goal threat every game.

19.01.2025 17:40 β€” πŸ‘ 8    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 3    πŸ“Œ 0

Didn’t expect us to win the game today and we got what we deserved. Nothing.

Never had the pleasure of experiencing a β€œjust get enough points to not get relegated” season before but that’s what this is. Just got to limp on through to May.

Beat City away, won at Arsenal with 10 men & played very well at Anfield. 3 fantastic performances in games where we’ve often struggled in recent years. Amorim is the man. The success will come.

12.01.2025 19:32 β€” πŸ‘ 43    πŸ” 7    πŸ’¬ 4    πŸ“Œ 0

Can’t believe we’ve seen that out with 10 men. Backs to the wall away to one of the best teams in the country yet we’ve still won the game. Fantastic performance from all the players, especially Maguire & De Ligt.

12.01.2025 19:29 β€” πŸ‘ 7    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

He’s right to mention it. Been an issue for years where players only turn up for certain games

Remember the year we beat City to stop them winning the league then lost to WBA who’d been bottom all season

Really pleased with our performance yesterday. First time in a decade we’ve gone to Anfield intending to win the game and it very nearly paid off. Amorim got his tactics spot on.

Increasingly struggling to recognise our club with some of these decisions Ratcliffe is making. The MUFC Foundation charity does so much good work in our city, cutting their funding is vile & indefensible.

At this point there’s barely anyone I’d be upset to see leave. Do what Chelsea did, sell everyone and reset.

Heard rumours about this for years but if Andy is saying it I believe him.

It’s obviously over for Rashford here. For his own sake I hope he can sort himself out at his new club.
