I will not buy into a project that has no space for Kobbie Mainoo. Or any United academy graduates, by the look of things?????. I really hope this has been blown out of proportion and Amorim has a plan.

Liverpool should have 2pts, realistically. Defence, barring VVD, is not good. They’ve mastered the bottlejob bluff. Surely not sustainable. City looked too much like 24/25 City vs Spurs. Can’t be ignored. It should be Arsenal’s to lose. But the relentless injuries…. No idea.

they can’t keep getting away with this.

I don’t want a United manager who doesn’t know how to fit an academy product of Kobbie Mainoo’s talent and potential in his system. That’s a system flaw, potentially one of many. Simple as that.

Seven days to sign a midfielder. United will be finishing in the bottom half again without one. Take the financial hit. It's probably less damaging than the losses from another season like the last. No point splurging £200m+ on a new attack when there is a mess behind them.

Honestly would not be surprised to see the likes of Amad, Fernandes and Cunha also play.

Benjamin Sesko to start against Grimsby? Or Chido Obi?. Amorim has some decisions to make. I don’t think he can afford to rotate as aggressively as you usually would vs a L2 team. Expect Onana, Maguire, Heaven, Mainoo, Leon and Zirkzee to start.

Alex Iwobi: "We knew we'd be able to get behind their two midfielders, and we exploited that today.". Are you listening, United decision makers? Clock's ticking. Sort it out.

1/6pts. Not a good start. Burnley (H) next, before City (A) and Chelsea (H). Before the season, you'd have wanted United to get at least 7-8/15pts from those first five PL games. They'd do well to reach that now. Grimsby should fancy themselves. Get that corner practice in.

FT

United have turned into the United of last season, here. Fulham ominously on top. Only ending one way unless one of the new boys, or Bruno, can come up with a moment.

Diogo Dalot. .

Looked a foul, mind. 😬.

LENY YORO. Sensational defensive contribution at one end. Clutch goal at the other moments later. He's a star!.

There is absolutely something there, and we are only in week two. But how long until the pressure for results gets too much and it all crumbles?. The performances are better, but the results must come soon after last season. United cannot lose today.

Fernandes is playing like he left his head in Manchester. No idea what’s going on there. Referee accidentally nudging him before the penalty wouldn’t have helped, but so sloppy on the ball. Would not be against Mainoo and Sesko coming on sooner rather than later.

Realistically, United should have scored three goals here. Whether that's 3-0/1/2, I don't know. These corners are a real issue, though. And Fulham are growing in confidence with every missed chance. Screams another baffling 1-0 defeat. Need to reset at HT.

Bruno's missing penalties now?. We're still cursed, then.

Calvin Bassey literally throws Mason Mount to the floor at that corner. Let's see if they are actually going to clamp down on handling inside the penalty area this season. It's a blatant penalty, with that in mind.

What does Cunha have to do to score?! Should have two already today. That pass from Bayindir was sensational. Distribution was good vs Arsenal too. United playing well. But need some goals. .
