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.
It would be beneficial to Rooney himself if he was dropped to the bench. Even if it was for one game.
The man needs a rest. He just looks tired for most of the match and unable to even get onto the end of simple passes.
Not sure why it would be a big deal just to give him a game or two off.

Hear hear
His ideal football team probably 11 programmed Robots, everything has to be precise to details .
Sorry Louis, technology isn't there yet, in our generation football means to be entertaining not fecking 70% ball possession and nothing comes out of it.

In our last 2 PL games we've managed 4 shots and 1 on target. 
The possession = chances argument doesn't explain why Crystal palace who had less possession created far more chances.
Ancelotti is out there without a club and part of me thinks why wait.
I'm grateful for his work, he did what I expected him to do but now we need someone else, asap.
Will there be long queues for this?
Exactly. He talks absolute tosh.
Big no to that. I have doubts about LvG but wouldn't touch Mourinho.
i'd add also that possession does not mean controlling a game either. Seeing as our opponents seem to comfortably have more shots on goal than us, and only one team looked like scoring today
Agreed, sack him now and bring in Ancelotti.
It would a massive shock for LVG to be relieved of his duties before the end of this season. It would certainly seem a bit harsh despite what's currently going on.
Still, bringing in Ancelotti right now (or someone of his ilk) would be a great move, in all likelihood.

Forget Buzz Lightyear, Pokemon, Furby and Tamagochi. This year the kids want Rooney on the bench.
My therapist told me to air my frustrations.You really want rid of Rooney, don't you? Me, too.
I imagine Santa being pissed off at Rooney and being happy to oblige.not having a go but FFS that's middle of the roading it , nicely done.
I just mean on the face of it, Van Gaal isn't doing a 'bad' job. However I do think we can know from Ancelotti's time with Chelsea, he'll certainly be able to get much more attacking flair into the side.
I just mean I would predict getting him in would work out, despite it being harsh on Van Gaal.

i know i was really just faffin' with ya. i agree that the penny's dropped and it is time to move on. there is nothing new. we know what to expect unless we get lucky and play a team that is in their own shit storm. we will pass it around and the the final ball will go into rooney and he'll make a hash of it. or wiggy will come on and we get plan b which is plan a with more hair.
I predict a lot of cries at Christmas, some kids will have to recomfort their parents.Copy and paste every game plan under LVG.
The 'procshesssh' explained;
Have no out and out striker on the bench.
Persist with a striker of old, that CLEARLY has no legs, first touch, striking ability left.
Put attacking threat on wing out of harms way.
Make a swop at fullback on 60mins.
Bring on a tall Everton player on 70.
Keep said ex-striker on for 90mins.
When all the above have been liberally applied for 90+ mins, act surprised that your tactics, selection, gameplan and substitutions haven't worked.... AGAIN.
That was my last straw today, its time for him to pack his clogs and ship off to the theatre of past glories... Seems he already has a holiday home there anyway.
'Who would we get in instead?!' Anyone (except Moyes). The dogs on the street would give it a better rattle, other than the same shit game plan and sub's every week. Giggs is either gagged by LVG, or worryingly clueless as well.

Is there any point in giving him a third year?
Ancelotti would struggle as well with the scarce attacking options available to him. We might see more attractive football though. The main thing which ultimately annoys me about LVG, is the fact he let so many attackers go and failed to replace them. It was obvious we would struggle to create chances this season. Time to give Pereira a chance me thinks.
No.
The team is obviously taking on LvG's boring ethos, much as we did with Moyes. If LvG can't motivate this group to punch above their weight then he should not be automatically afforded a 3rd year.
Indeed.
Moyes came in without a plan.
And then we went and got someone with a plan to play like Moyes.
Is how I feel at the moment.

And recall Januzaj back from his loan. He is building no character sitting on Dortmund's bench. The most pointless loan ever.
they (ownership/club elders) expected a minimum 4th place finish from moyes and when he could not meet those expectations he got done. with the spend and expectations , the "they" must be expecting more from LVG as well. wonder when they pull the plug?
If we don't do better than 4th and don't make the CL quarters, I think the pressure will be on. No excuse after the amount of investment we've made.
When we voice our unhappiness, there must be a way to contact Woodward directly and show him the United forum. Linkedin maybe?
Has to win the PL or CL for me. Didn't see the game today, but the kind of tumescent football we play has to produce big trophies if we are to continue with it.
He could win the trebel and should still leave. Entertainment is primordial.
It's not harsh at all because we have grand designs in terms of progression as a team and Van Gaal hasn't really done enough to strengthen his case after being given free reign to gut the squad and bring in new players. We need to get back on top asap and Ancelotti is a man who has proven that he can take a well funded team to that level.

So feckin pissed off with this shit football! Honestly I'd rather lose while having a go to try and win and feckin attack more instead of gettin a draw and being absolutely feckin pathetic! It's simply not good enough LVG! I thought this manager, being at barca & Bayern previously would seriously attack more but I'm certain the pressure of this league or maybe even our club is greater than anything else in the world?
Starting to agree with this. If we continue playing this way, even if we win UCL, I would still prefer to see him leaving. Trophies are nice, but not if you have to experience 40+ times this boring, tumescent, unwatchable shit. I was closer than ever leaving the match today, it was so boring and everyone knew that it was going to end that way.
At this stage, naking a shoot on goal is looking an achievement. Screw trophies and screw him if I have to experience twice a week this shit.
Fortunately for Rooney SAF decided to retire. Wayne must have been jumping for joy when that happened.
