Might have been Lee Dixon or one of the other commentators this weekend (I think) as well… he literally said that if Rashford had a Beckham to provide delivery, he would score like 40 goals… lmao.
Ouch I’m wrong, they were favourites for relegation but lead the table for much of the year. It didn’t come together for United until they bought Cantona for £1.2million from Leeds the previous seasons winners. He got 15 goals and 16 assists that season and throughout his PL career wasn’t far off averaging a goal or assist a game. And the only season with Cantona they didn’t win it was when he was banned. He also won Ligue 1 with Marseille.
The upside being that they’ve given him a massive contract and placed basically all their hopes on him turning into a 25+ goal striker.
He will obviously fail so I suppose we’ve contributed in a way to them being utterly shite in attack this season, and them probably finishing 6th again.
