my source said INEOS r paying the untied stand and giving them interview with players. my source said mark didn't want to do it for the money but he did it to get interview's cos he want to be the only fan channel that get interview with the players.

I sometimes can't comprehend the fact that Ronaldo is a legend for two of the biggest clubs in the world in one lifetime. Crazy player

Fergusson was such a good head coach and his tactics was so good that he could win with lesser players. But he didn't even realise that himself. The last seasons of his stay at Old Trafford United 08/09 bought Berbatov and Da Sliva brothers, lost Saha, Pique 09/10 lost Cr7 and Tevez and added Valencia, Obertan, corpse of Owen 10/11 added Smalling and Chicharito 11/12 lost Van Der Saar, Neville, Brown, Macheda, O'Shea, Scholes retired and Came back, Pogba, lost Berbatov mid season, added- Jones, De Gea, Young, Cleverley, Welbeck came back from a loan 12/13 he lost J.S.park and M.Owen and added Van Persie, Kagawa and Butner. And then Scholres retires and United Adds Fellaini and Mata in January of 2014 As you can see Fergusson was an amazing coach thag could win with lesser players but he let the team get old and bad at the end. The Man United rebuilt didn't work very well post Champions League final. He let the team get bad. Then Moyes inherrited a somewhat bad team and finished 7th. Van Gaal had to get rid of almost everyone but he failed to replace them. Thats ultimately what happened 1. GOAT Fergusson could carry bad players like Cleverley 2. He was so good that didn't realise team was getting bad and needed replacing 3. United never replaced the core of players after Van Gaal got rid of the ancient players. 4. Other coaches were never nearly as good as Fergusson. And some tranfer windows like the 2018 Summer one were very very bad.

If only Rio could get Fergie and Other players in the room and ask questions Booom!

For the people moaning about it getting released in parts, 5 videos equal far more clicks than one video.

I remember the summer of 2009 being extremely downbeat about the loss of Ronaldo and Tevez. To be honest I still think we had a better squad than Barcelona in 2009, and then all of a sudden our squad looked quite bare without Ronaldo and Tevez. Yes, we lost the league narrowly in 2010 and won it twice after, but honestly we were never the same after 2009. Always wonder what we could've done if we kept those 2.

Get Sir Alex on the podcast that would be absolutely incredible

I just wonder imagine if we did get Ronaldinho

Goat

Ronaldo was effectively identified by the players and the number he did on John O’Shea. Simple as that. The most significant question would have been: “The decline in Manchester United is associated with the Rock of Gibraltar situation as this led to the takeover of the club by a parasitic business group. In retrospect, did you do enough to stave this takeover off and could you have identified earlier this existential threat to our great club?”

Ste conveniently angled to cover his black eye lol... can also see the makeup

Writing down every interaction with clubs and agents so if any future deals arise they know how to handle them and what to expect. Bet we dont do that anymore!

Jesus Christ lads you've dragged these videos out. Whose ever idea this was has had a nightmare.

Won’t lie this is PEAK content😪

Rio pls pls get the boss on you can do it Rio pls,that would break yt❤

CR7 🐐

I am a China Hong Kong football fans, recently suffer from disrespectful Messi and Beckham. The kids are so disappointed that Messi didnt not play. Please can you guys give us a fair judgement call?

Can’t believe you didn’t ask him about Bebe 😉

The time when the Mun United was on the top of the world. Now the Mun United CEOs want to win trophies with players like Marcus Rashford, and Martial, they are ridiculous. If those two players played in that era, they would have been bench warmers, and they would have been happy with that role.

Really enjoying the exact same intro to every one of the videos. 😒😒

next time, just release one long video

Let’s be real Rio if Man U would got Ronaldinho instead of Ronaldo Man U would of had the same Ronaldo’s hard work and mindset was determined and Ronaldinhos party life would of not worked out with Man United culture Ronaldo was still the best pick and one of the best eras of Man united history

at their peak, Ronaldo wanting to leave for Real like Ganarcho shows how small a club United that players in their prime would choose a bigger club instead of growing their career with United.
