    Klopp had very less expectation from both the fans and the club hierarchy when he came in. And the signings he made clearly showed that he had limited budget but was a better fit for his progression aswell. ManUtd fans know that the club has a lot of money to spend if it wants to, so that is also an added pressure on top of all the other mess that’s already there. The signing of players like Malacia, who for me is probably the best signing this summer, is probably a better way to move forward. Fans need to be patient and the progress will show

I trust Neville as a pundit as much as a him as a manager. He's living in a delluded world where he thinks Man Utd have a right to be in Europe for the last 6 years. The answer is obvious: sell everyone and pray for survival in the prem for one year, then build from there with players who actually want to stay there.

    LUIS SUAREZ WAS UNDERRATED
    Luis Suarez in 2013-14 is the best player Premier League has ever had. He carried a team that was very similar to that Klopp team himself. The season he left that exact team went from 2nd (barely missed on winning it all) to a mid table club. Same exact team pretty much that even added players. He was a 1 man wrecking crew. Never seen a defense as bad compete for a title as 2013-14 Liverpool. In 2014-15 Gerrard got exposed and they lost 6-1 to Stoke. Suarez elevated others.

    Not even a debate, Klopp took on a far worse squad in quality and it had less depth. It took Klopp 5 transfer windows to make the team his own with arguably a 100% hit rate. ETH has no chance to turn this squad around within the same period. Klopp flushed the deadwood out quietly along the process. United have countless big wages players who don’t suit ETH system and have little or no value in transfer fee’s. I can’t see many players willing to move on for a pay cut so I expect another season or two of contract expiries

    edit: also neville and cara's traffic light signings is a joke. I could pinpoint about 10 issues bit one of the main ones for me was maguire and lindelof. Maguire was put as Amber, Lindelof was put as Red. Lindelof was 27.5m Maguire was 79m, both have performed on similar levels throughout the time they've been here yet were of significantly different valuations. Lindelof also won trophies at utd whereas Maguire captained our side to our worst ever points tally as well as numerous +4-0 batterings. prime example of English media protecting English players.

    Klopp inherited a far worse team than ETH. Let's be honest. Imagine coaching the likes of Jordon Ibe, Benteke, Lovren, Mignolet etc 😂😂

    How is this even a question? Ten Hag inherited Ronaldo and Klopp inherited Origi as the main attacker star

    It helped Klopp that he didn't have stars or club legends in his squad, he could bench or sell whoever he wanted. I have maintaned that if United fix their midfield, they will be back, Casemiro is a nice start, expensive band aid but he will improve squad immensely, I do think they need another midfielder, someone in Tony Kroos or probably more like Jordan Henderson mode, someone that will run, recycle the ball, be an outlet and progressive passer.
