Main one for me is selling players, not being afraid to sell them and when you do, get monster money and reinvest it wisely. One step back and two steps forward.

We panic, use sites to say we won’t sell, give them new contracts. Nobody is irreplaceable but we act like they are.

When someone knocks on the door for Rice we must have 2 things - 1: a replacement identified that could be better than Rice and 2: am asking price thats big but also achievable for the buying club, like Maguire for £80m.

What's the point of selling your best players unless they are demanding to go. If you want someone as good you will have to spend all the money and if you are talking about getting someone inferior and keeping some of the money for our very generous owners then that's a perfect recipe for disaster. Just look at Southampton. Btw I know 2 who are irreplaceable Messi and Ronaldo :)

Heading the ball is a bit old fashioned nowadays and does a wide player need to be great in the air. How many headed goals are there in relation to shooting etc

A manager whose not afraid to change formations when things aren't going to plan. And more importantly a board that will back him. The bond they have with the fans and players is special and they seem to genuinely enjoy their team and the fans in turn recognise this. The fella that died was worshipped before his death and still is. How many of our fans would be upset if the same thing happened here? I know I wouldn't be, personally I wouldn't walk to my front room to pay my respects. I hate them!
Other than that, there's really not a lot between the two sides.
Love a cup of Rosey I do.

The biggest single difference for me is the manager.
1 has good experience, excellent tactical knowledge and is still very hungry to climb the ladder. This is reflected in his team.
1 has vast experience, excellent tactical knowledge but has already been to the top of the ladder and doesn’t appear overly motivated to climb back up there anymore. This is reflected in his team.

I’m hoping to eat a slice of humble pie the size of an Arnautovic ego come the end of the season.... but this is how I currently see it.
Fancy calling your only son "Barnestoneworth"
He's got another name....
Yeah....."United"
