In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
But they're going forwards.This is how LVG wants us to play if he had the right transfers. Proper dutch football
Depressing
The Ajax philosophy is the one we should be going for again. Invest in youth and free flowing football.
All great united sides under Fergie where built with a core of youth players- the class of 92 in the mid 90s and the Rooney and Ronaldo era of the 00s.
Remember one of my first united games - Pompey at home in 07 when Ronaldo scored that free kick. I was in awe at the one and two touch football, pace, movement.
I’d say this Ajax side is the closest I’ve seen to the old united way.

And it's the boys that are winning it
Proper footie from Ajax ! Remember proper footie lads?

B word incoming.

Blind, we shouldn't have sold him.

Ajax are tactical perfection. It helps that they're young and play with so much energy, but wow
Ziyech is spreading play and finding players in dangerous areas with ease. I dont really want us to continue our current tactic of a right winger who plays centrally but if we are going to, he has to be one of the options. Good player
City play the same way as Ajax expect they have much better players and loads of options off the bench.
Depressing watching ajax when compared to how our overpaid wasters play.
Can we replace our team with this Ajax one?
Spurs missing Kane and Son badly.
I think the cross was tight but Lloris went down so early it made the shot the right move, and he just failed to execute it correctly with a last-minute change. If he could do it again he'd pause a half-second and fire it the same way, just closer to the post.
This commentator saying De Ligt isn't massive?! Has he seen the lad?!
Wow, this Ajax side are very impressive, De Ligt, De Jong, Ziyech, Van De Beek all really good.
Luckily our new DOF is there first hand to see these players.

For every pass they make there is another player following up to back up the receiving player.
That is modern day football. We however are stuck with players like young and lukaku that can't do the basics. Then you go deeper into the squad and ffind players like darmian and rojo that can't think past 1 move ahead.
Kane is obviously more mobile a target than Llorente but not sure he'd make a huge difference with this little service, but Son against this team, after what he did to the Germans and then the Dubai/City and their high lines/space on the counter, absolutely would be a real threat.
This this this!Ajax vs Barca would be a
Would be sweet to see Liverpool lose another final, but hell no, won't take the chance, Barca do the job then Ajax do it on them.
They'd all instantly turn to shit once they joined us
We'd ruin all the players like we have with everyone we've bought for the last 6 years.
In an ideal world Ajax ride this core deep into their primes, instead of getting picked off.
This is why when I become supreme dictator

Boring. They're toying with us because most of our star players are not on the pitch.
They categorically do not do this to us if we have Son, Sissoko, Kane and Winks available. They make a huge difference. I don't give a shit what the two teams have spent, we have an injury crisis and they fecking don't, and that's HUGE.
Why does Neres always look stoned.
He's got such a stoner face
He's got such a stoner face
Tripper playing like trash.
Call me crazy but I'd take Van de Beek ahead of De Jong
Blind nice pass
To think Mourinho didn't want Blind in central defence but was happy to play Mctominay and Hererra there...
Kane is world class at holding up the ball and spraying passes to the wings. With he and Son in the side I doubt Ajax would be pressing like this.
I think they are missing Winks big time. Wanyama doesn't belong on the pitch in this type of match.
Please Sissoko and Winks aren't that good, you're making it sound like you're missing Prime Xavi and Iniesta
Kieran Trippier is consistently awful every time I watch him. £50m for Kyle Walker was a terrible deal for Spurs due to having to play Trippier instead.
Shocking tackle that could have been dangerous
Which Spurs poster was it that said it would be easy vs Ajax?
Not much to do with the DOF. Teams like Ajax and barcelona have made it a priority to cultivate players with technique and high football IQ. At the top you find a team with balance between physique and Intelligence on the ball then there is us with no intelligence but a lot of physique.
That's why United are linked, he'd fit right in
Eriksen is the only effective looking Spurs player so far, pinched the ball a few times and done something with it
Tagliafico learned tackling by watching Scholes.
Belgians down! Ouch!
Him instead of AWB this summer would sum us up as a club post fergie
