Elanga scoring also for Schweden last night.

Anyone happen to know, off the top of their heads, which domestic club had the highest number of goals from their players over this round of internationals?

Maybe we ought to give McTominay a run out up front…

Two quality performances from what I’ve read. He’s going to be needed this next few weeks so let’s hope he carries this form when plays for,United.

He used to play as a striker for the youth team so isn't a crazy option tbh!

[LF5335]

He had a much freer and attacking role with Scotland as they didn’t really seem to have a structure to their play. That suited him to be rampaging around doing whatever he wanted to do.

The issue is that PL teams do actually try to score goals unlike Cyprus and Spain. They also have a structure to their teams which means he couldn’t just run around a lot.

What would be interesting would be seeing how he copes with a more attacking role rather than the defensive midfield role that’s clearly not right for him.

Rodri complaint about Scotland being physical has to be a joke ,anyone see the ‘tackle’ he did on odergard the other night ?

Big cry baby. Spanish players are more worried about their press coverage than playing well. Is he the City Rodri? Wonder why he went in so hard on Odegaard if he is

He isn’t technically good enough to play at the top level as a defensive midfielder. I do like him, and does some good stuff as a squad play.

How rubbish is it without PL football?

I’m by no means a Scotland fan but it made my day what they did to Spain. Horrible little tts and Rodri’s comments proved it.

Don’t worry. We’re playing 9 games in April, so there’ll be plenty to keep us all occupied.

When I first glanced at your post I read "Winning 9 games ....". Which is what's actually going to happen obviously.

That's a game every 3.33333 days, on average.

Lord have Mercy on our limbs.

Man Utd owe £1bn.

This was surprising

“Wages were down £20.4m to £77.3m, a decrease of 20.9% as Erik ten Hag's team are not in this season's Champions League.”

So players get a 25% bonus if you are in PL?

As far as I'm aware, the players have to take a salary drop if we fail to get in the CL. Decent incentive to get that top 4 spot for them!

I do find it laughable that the Glazers can demand 6 billion for the club whilst it's showing to be a billon in debt, and rising. Laughable, but not surprising.

If certainly proves just what a farce and a sham FFP is when a club can have a billion in debt, possibly more given the lack of transparency with united's Cayman Islands based accounts, yet the footballing authorities have no problem at all with it.

Fleeced us completely and still will walk away with Billions. Brilliant business for them! Please please let this takeover happen and not the biggest false dawn ever.
