Murphy
Isak
Burn
Barnes
Anderson
Botman
Wilson
Manquillo
Target
Plus Tonalli suspended for 10 months.
Of those probably only Manquillo is the only one who isn’t regularly in or around the first team squad.

Oh I forgot Tonalli and sometimes Barnes!
I was mostly discussing starters (Nketiah has started most of the season cuz Jesus was injured came back and got injured again)
Jesus and Isak both went down last CL match.
Wilson has been starting every match in Isaks place is he now hurt too?

Oh and Murphy came on against Arsenal and reinjured his shoulder after 15 minutes. Poor on the staff

There’s very few teams that rely on too many starters anymore. Beyond maybe 3 or 4 key players most others are interchangeable and all those are regular first teamers.

Dislocated shoulders are difficult ones. You can seem perfectly ok and then it pops out again. He’ll likely have to get it pinned this time.
Feel really sorry for him though, after years of being a bits and pieces player he’d really appeared to come into his own the last few months.

Just so happens ours include Odegaard and Jesus (Partey would be key if not for Rice's great form)

I think you’re going or have to upgrade Jesus at some point soon if you want to go to where you’re striving for.

Yea. They're talking about signing Toney in January. We'll see what happens. Not much of an upgrade imo but idk
Joe Mac

I think hes a big upgrade in that he holds the ball up better and is more likely to put the ball in the net. Movement and pace obviously not as much. I’d take him at united in a heartbeat.

U say that after Holjund scores in the 3rd minute!! Jinx coming

I like the idea of having Jesus and Toney as an option between Saka and Martinelli. More is better

5 in 4 champions league games. 0 in 8 league games…
Look he’s a talent. But he’s too young and too raw to be the main striker at united playing through the middle every week. He needs a more experienced player so he can be rested and maybe pushed wide on occasion to aid in his development.
