To be fair we have no idea how United will play in Europe these days, last season we looked pretty impressive in big fixtures though
Maybe 10 years ago? They had a group with Villareal and Benfica. Benfica made it to the quarters, Villareal the semis.
Moyes cruised through a group featuring Leverkusen, Shaktar, and Real Sociedad. Are this seasons Wolfsburg, CSKA, and PSV better then those 3 teams were I honestly don't know, but were a better side then 2 years ago. Plus teams in Europe seem to approach Manchester United differently.

and we came last Lille got 3rd. Fun year that was.
You underestimate Van Gaal's analytical abilities. PSV has no chance.

Astana ain't even in Europe.
well, your luck usually runs out in the knockout round haha
And Bayern's tends to run out during the last 5 minutes of games or more specifically injury time but such is life.
Hey last years Borussia made it to ko stage while in a relegation position.
So bitter
Are you an Arsenal fan?
No Bayern fan could forget the horrible last minutes of the 34th Bundesliga match in 2001, or the heartbreaking final minutes of the Champions League Final in 2013. Even last Saturday we were shocked in the 90th minute.
I think 1999 was a very unfortunate exception *cough*Matthäus*cough*. Usually Bayern screws up much earlier and we've had several unforgettable last-minute wins since then, especially the 2001 Bundesliga championship and the 2013 Champions League Final victory.
lol
have fun with your boring ass football this year. wouldnt be surprised if you even cannot make it through the group stage
van gaal
lol
Van Gaal couldn't have been that terrible if he won you the double but yeah you're right LvG is awful. Good luck this year!

They sure are. But with De Bruyne gone Wolfsburg will be as well. So at least we have a realy competitor.
Man, I wish Tuchel had waited with his comeback for one more year. He was my preferred post-Pep choice.
Would have been nice if you guys had gone through since it'd help the coefficient.. but considering you're always a bitch about City, I do kind of enjoy seeing Soton suffer. >
After watching this Southampton team I feel terrible Liverpool bought half your team
Buy back Lovren and Lallana for £15m?
We'll probably buy Forster and Fonte off you next year just to finish you off

He just had a hip injury and hasn't trained, his fitness was always a doubt...

Everton fans kicking off at John Stones is the funniest thing i've seen in a long time.
Last time I checked they poached him from Barnsley, i'll say the same thing I say about any player that moves and has ambition plus opportunity: If they aren't going to be loyal to the club that is their home town, that made them and brought them up, why the fuck would they show loyalty to a club that just bought them.
Sometimes as a fan you learn this the hard way but also lets not forget Everton put a 15% sell-on fee in his transfer, I largely suspect they didn't anticipate selling him for £1m to Blackburn when they did that.
It doesn't look like we will sign him but also seen mentioned (admittedly by the Sun...) that he's had to flee his house because of pissed off Everton fans. Lets have some perspective

I mostly agree, but never listen to The Sun where scousers are concerned. They have...form.

Wolfsburg minus De Bruyne? PSV minus Memphis? Not really.
Funny thing is he is the guy who started using the dude on your avatar....
Van Gaal is brilliant. He is no Ferguson, but noone is and noone ever will be.

We actually made a signing!
Can't say I've seen much of him, anyone else seen much of him? Is he the winger we have been craving for?
