Yes, u r right bro... clean sheet.. but the useless chiak liao bee CR7 always lose the ball to or got robbed of the ball by Watford defenders whenever fed with the ball by crosses from his other team mates .. . if it were Sancho or Elango in his position, they would hv scored at least 3 goals for MU...

so it's a draw 0-0 n a loss of 2 points for nothing after all the hard work by the 10 other players on the field esp B Fernandes who created so many chances for them...better ship that guy out to other teams n don't ever cum back to Utd ....so this time round Charlie again n Jones predicted a draw correctly except once again the scoreline is wrong

It's a good thing, RR has the balls now to drop his fat capetan in last night's match for the 1st time against Watford but didn't hv the balls to do the same to CR7 or at least sub him off in the 2nd half ...

in their next few matches against all 4 arch rivals City, Pool, Arsenal n Spurs, they most likely will be defeated by Pool n City n draw with Arsenal n Spurs at best or even be defeated by them also...that's means they can drop a total of 10 or 14 pts which might cause them to slide down the table all the way from 4th now to maybe 8th to 10th position ...sigh

No Top 4 finish this season..... come next year, lets just say goodbye GOAT CR7, Pogba, Matic, MagDisaster, Mata and a few more "superstars".

Next season, let's have a dozen youngsters like Elanga from the academy, let them bring their raw talent, speed, hunger and motivation for success like the Scholes, Beckham, Carrick of an era not long ago. United needs a NEW generation of home grown United Academy players... to once again be Champions of English and Eurpoean football.

Think the team played pretty well and the "control" was there.
Unfortunately, the ball just won't go inside the net.
They could have been up 3 or 4 in the first half.

Things like this happened. Watford was lucky to escape with a point at OT.

Agree....probably now is the best time to remove those "fail to perform" super stars....or those still "living in past glories".

Elanga offers hope and Im sure there are many academy players who are just too glad to get a chance to play in the first team.

Accepted wisdom is that grinding out a win despite not playing well, is the mark of a champion.

These days we are doing the opposite of 'playing well' but not winning.

Man United eye Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti as potential short-term manager - sources

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has emerged as a surprise short-term option as Manchester United explore contingency plans in their pursuit of a new manager, sources have told ESPN.

Ancelotti has a close personal relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson, someone new United CEO Richard Arnold has sought advice from since taking over from Ed Woodward earlier this year.

United are hopeful of making a long-term appointment ahead of next season after drawing up a five-man shortlist which includes Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten Hag.

Sources have told ESPN that Ferguson is an admirer of Pochettino but has recommended that the club consider Ancelotti if the former Tottenham Hotspur boss rules himself out of the running.

Ancelotti, in charge at Real Madrid, is seen as the type of coach who could be successful during a short stint because of his extensive experience in the Premier League and Champions League while also having a track record of managing squads full of high-profile players.

Ralf Rangnick, who was placed in charge temporarily following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's dismissal in November, has also said he could recommend to the board that he stays in the role for another year.

"We are now conducting a thorough process for the appointment of a new permanent manager who will take charge this summer, with the objective to get us back to challenging for those domestic and European titles," football director John Murtough said at a fans' forum held last week.

United would prefer to have a long-term manager in place before the start of next season but there are complications with a number of their top targets.

Pochettino has been linked with a move to Real Madrid to replace Ancelotti while there have been suggestions Ten Hag has reservations about the set-up at Old Trafford having worked well within a clearly defined structure at Ajax.

Another candidate, Luis Enrique, will stay in charge of Spain until at least after the World Cup, which takes place in Qatar in December. The Premier League season is scheduled to begin on Aug. 13.

Ancelotti has guided Real Madrid to a six-point lead at the top of LaLiga but the 62-year-old has faced criticism following his team's performance against Pochettino's Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League round-of-16 first leg.

It has led to speculation Real Madrid could target Pochettino in the summer with the Argentinian said to be ready to leave PSG.

Ancelotti has had two spells in the Premier League with Chelsea and Everton, winning the title and the FA Cup during his time at Stamford Bridge.

He has also won the Champions League three times, including with Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid in 2014.

Wow !...the predictions for the next match against City r pouring in already...hmmm...so far it's either a draw or loss for them from Jones n Lawro...quite accurate i think...MU can forget abt winning our neighbours in blue...draw is the most they can achieve...so another 1 point is the most they can add to wat they already hv ...hope others just below them, draw or lose their matches too

Another Manchester derby.

I say 1-0

[imom]

I will usually read a bit of team news and stats before making a prediction.

But, no need to this time.

Man City 4 : 0 Man Utd

At least we will have the consolation of not helping Pool. Better help City with their goal difference.
