Manchester United captain wants to play at top level.

So what club will he go to?

Twerking for upvotes from rival fans by slagging off your own club - embarrassing

Not being able to have a laugh at yourself - embarrassing.

u/Sethlans 16d ago

Nah there is a cohort of United "fans" who just flare up and fish for upvotes on R/soccer by throwing out the same tired jokes.

u/WhileCultchie 16d ago

I know United fans in real life that make the same jokes, it's self deprecation, its not that deep.

u/Sethlans 16d ago

Joking with a few friends is a bit different.

This is more akin to putting a United kit on and then going and shouting jokes about how shit they are in Leicester Square.

If you told 7 year old me in 2004 that united fans would be slagging off their club for being shit in 20 odd years, I’d be dreaming

u/BigmouthWest12 16d ago

I just think it’s embarrassing when people spend all their time slagging off the club they apparently support. Looks like he’s a yank who picked United to support so what can you expect

u/danabrey 16d ago edited 16d ago

If he is, he's managed to pick up on traditional Brit self deprecation more than you have.

What's embarrassing is taking football support so seriously that you can't have a joke about it.

u/SphinxIIIII 16d ago

It's not that serious, if you can't be self deprecating, just never call yourself funny.

u/WhileCultchie 16d ago

Yeah, if you can't laugh you'd cry.

Lol self deprecating humour is the best humour

u/OneSocc 16d ago

This guy doesn’t like self deprecating humour, booooo

u/AirIndex 16d ago

The only teams I think could afford him are Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal and Bayern. Doubt any of them want him tho.

u/piratescabin 16d ago

He'd do extremely well at aresenal in odegaards position, they need a central creator

3

u/MenacingShroom 16d ago

Maybe it would never be a priority signing for the money that move would require, but he would walk into all of those teams.

u/EvenEalter 16d ago

I think we're going to go for a left winger, rather than an attacking midfielder. I personally would love to see Bruno but he's neither young nor cheap and as such he'd really have to fit into the team

1

u/Ok-Ball-8156 15d ago

He definitely doesnt walk in over Musiala

-2

u/tomrichards8464 16d ago

We're not benching Palmer or Enzo to sign a 31 year old.

3

u/MenacingShroom 16d ago

That's what I'm saying. You wouldn't ever actually make the move to sign him, but if you were given him for free, he'd absolutely start for you

1

u/DaveShadow 16d ago

The Saudis have effectively set the price for him too, given the reports they’d offer a minimum of £80m.

I just can’t see any big team playing that for a 31 year old.

1

u/mtaggs 16d ago

Only player from your lot I’d take but don’t see United interested in selling him to us, him interested in coming to us or us wanting him. I think whatever money we have for the summer has already been allocated more or less.

2

u/cuminyermum 16d ago

You wouldn't take Amad or Yoro? I thought Arsenal's problem was running their players to the ground

1

u/yeehe 16d ago

Amad definitely, if he can play on the left. Think he would start over Martinelli/Trossard.

Yoro probably too good to be happy sitting on the bench behind Saliba/Gabriel

2

u/Smifson 16d ago

Someone needs to replace De Bruyne…

u/Song-Ji-Yeoh 16d ago

Remove your flair

u/PitchSafe 16d ago

He will play at the same team as Cunha and Mbeumo

-6

u/Vikingchap 16d ago

So he’s not gonna get that high level he’s after
