United take on Spurs in the Europa league final and you can call it the clown act or a game between two sides who are undeserving of being in a European final. Both of those statements are probably true, but as they say ‘it is what it is.’ 🤷‍♂️

Brentford v Man Utd Preview

‍Time for rotation

MUFC remained in Spain after their incredible 3-0 win over Bilbao in their semifinal first leg. Due to the quick turnaround and the importance of the second leg, manager Ruben Amorim told us that we should be expecting a lot of changes.

Bournemouth v Man Utd Preview

Should we even bother?

Bournemouth are better than us. Far better. Even though they've had a dip in form, they are still better than the 14th-placed side in the league. Even had we had our strongest XI available, going to the Vitality Stadium is always a tough task.
