'The way we played at Ajax, you won't ever see that here. The player material decides how we lay. That's why I can not let this team play the way I did at Ajax. I have to, I can't play the same way here. It's also not in the DNA of Manchester United. Ajax football is very specific, here we have to play more direct. We have the type of players for that."
What. The. Actual. Fuck.

Raphael Varane heads the winner as Manchester United gain a fortunate victory over Wolves in their first game of the Premier League season.
I used to shrug when lesser teams (like Liverpool) claimed 'We won't get a penalty at Old Trafford until hell freezes over'.
After last night's decision to deny Wolves a last minutes penalty for Onana's assault on their centre-forward, I might have to change my mind.

- Blue nosed Scousers sign someonewww.bbc.co.uk Ashley Young to have Everton medical after agreeing deal
Free agent Ashley Young has agreed to join Everton and is scheduled to have a medical on Tuesday after leaving Aston Villa this summer.
Everton's board have decided the last N season's travails must never, ever be repeated.
So they have splashed the cash on Ashley Young.
- tumbleweed season
I hate odd numbered years. No World Cup or Euros to break up the boredom. There's the Ashes and Wimbledon but it's no substitute for football.
Nothing happening
- Mount still at Chelsea
- Kane still at Spurs
- Rice still at West Ham. City attempting to piss Arsenal off even more
- De Gea sunning himself, enjoying his £375k a week at United
- City replacing Gundogan with Kovacic
- No news of the never ending Glazers takeover
- Kingstonian (who normally have replaced the entire team by now) have also been stupefied by the heat and done nothing.

- Brendan Rogers returns to Celticwww.bbc.co.uk Rodgers makes dramatic return as Celtic manager - reaction
Follow all the reaction as Brendan Rodgers returns to Celtic to replace Ange Postecoglou, having left the Scottish Premiership club in February 2019.
- my second team
I lied. I do have a second team. However, as Rich alluded to - my second team is a non-league team.
Kingstonian FC play in the Isthmian Premier division. This is the 7th tier of the English football league structure.
The reason I don't really class them as a 'second team' is that Kingstonian and MUFC are so far apart that the prospect of them ever meeting let alone competing for the same trophy is infinitesimal.
MUFC get crowds of 75,000 whereas Kingstonian get crowds of 250.
What I like about non league is:
- real life football
- ability to enjoy a pint while watching the game
- watch the coaches issuing (screaming) instructions
- no need to book or be a member. Just rock up.
- park for free close to ground.
- Originally I could walk when Kingstonian played at Kingsmeadow !
- Cheaper £10 versus £35-40
- do you have a second club ?
I have followed Manchester United since my Dad took me to my first game back at Old Trafford in 1972 (Ian Storey Moore's debut).
Nowadays I follow United's fluctuating fortunes from the comfort of my armchair or a barstool.
One of my proudest moments was when son asked me 'Are you watching the Clasico tonight ?' to which I replied 'Err, no'.
'God Dad - you're such a United fan. Don't you want to watch a decent match ?' He didn't add 'for a change' but could have.
But that's me. I follow United. I don't care about any other teams. A mate once took me to Aston Villa vs West Brom which was a feisty affair but I just wasn't invested in the result. I stood there almost motionless for 90 minutes.
I have mellowed over the years so now do watch the closing stages of the Champions League and maybe the playoffs but really, I don't care.
So, I don't have a second team. There are some teams I dislike less than others.
- Spurs
- Villa
- Forest
- Brighton
- Sunderland
And no, I would never, ever buy a day tripper split scarf ?
What about you ?

RT @thecontinent \--- Women’s football is growing fast, with record stadium attendances, television viewership figures and transfer fees over the last 18 months, but not everybody is benefitting from the boom equally.
The major milestones have been achieved in Europe, but Africa risks being left behind unless strides in investment and development are made quickly.
