With these 5 subs, signing quality players to increase the squad depth instead of average players won't be bad. Everyone will get enuf playing time, like man shitty
is this a permanent rule or for COVID-19?

The FA Cup at this point is nothing but a distraction.

The Europa League and the Premier League are the 2 keys to our return to the Champions League.

I mostly agree with you but a trophy win can do alot for a particular group of players and especially Ole. I think A trophy win with United would improve his and the team's self belief. I think Ole needs the FA Cup more than united though.

Carlos Tevez: "If I retired and had to put together a farewell match, my team would be Buffon, Hugo Ibarra, Rio Ferdinand, Gabriel Heinze, Patrice Evra; Scholes, Andrea Pirlo, Paul Pogba; Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Rooney. I’d stay on the bench."

Dean Henderson's Manchester United contract earns himself £70,000 a week. Sheffield United are paying around £55,000 of those wages during his loan.

James Rodriguez: “Since I was a child I always admired Manchester United. I always saw those teams with Rio, Giggs and Scholes there was a lot of prodigious players and I wanted to go there but it didn’t happen. I had to go to a club that wasn’t as big so I went to Monaco.”

Of course a trophy win is always great but we are talking about priorities. Which of these scenarios would you prefer?

1) Win FA Cup, Lose Europa League, 5th/6th in Premier League.

2) Win Europa League, Lose FA Cup, 5th/6th in Premier League.

3) Lose FA Cup, Lose Europa League, 4th in Premier League.

It's also possible to win the FA, Europa and 4th on the EPL.

We dont even need to go back and forth on the priorities. Whichever one lands us in the CL will be the number 1 priority. If we can do it while adding a 2nd rate European trophy then that's also cool. its still a trophy. I personally think 4th spot is beyond us at this point but obviously not impossible. I'm operating on the assumption that we'll finish 5th and that 5th spot is a CL spot because I think City's ban will be upheld but reduced to 1 season ban. Having said all that, There's one thing to be said for momentum, another to be said for winning the FA Cup again as mentioned previously. I dont want the team to have the mindset that they can go into matches and if they dont win it its ok. If Ole takes it seriously with a relatively strong selection I would prefer that.

May our club never become a club that prioritizes top 4 finish over a trophy. Top 4 should be least of our concerns at this stage Abeg.

Correct

There is no point playing from 4th/5th round to the Quarter finals, and not thinking of winning the trophy (FA cup).

All we have to do is focus on one game at a time

Nobody said it is not possible.

It is also possible to lose FA Cup, Europa League, and come 5th.

I was talking about priorities. The 2 scenarios which give us champions league football next season should be the priorities.

If Lingard plays today, I would love him to play well and possibly get a goal to boost his confidence.

If we keep landing Europa every season we will slowly start finding it harder and harder to land quality players apart from mercenaries like Sanchez, Di Maria e.t.c

We need to get back into the champions league and the next level will be competing for league titles and champions league titles. You can't win the champions league if you are not in it.

I get your mind set but for this season at least i think getting into the Champions League is a priority. And the Europa League is a trophy as well, and more important than the FA Cup IMO.

Greedy People..... They want all, they ain't ready to prioritize. What about if we lose all, while chasing all?! I agree with Afrodoc, we do not need to focus on all, rather prioritize best Routes to UCL Footie next Season.

It's not like it's being a Decade we won a Trophy last. United is bigger than playing Europa Footie ffs! The Competition is meant for small Clubs like Wolves, Shelfield United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Co.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 2:22pm On Jun 27, 2020
We should bear in mind that Europa is resuming in August after league and possibly FA cup has ended, but before that we have finishing in the top 4 and fighting for the Fa cup as priority with the EL coming much later, so one competition at a time guys. We are well aware of the need to qualify for UCL next season and if we fail to finish in top 4,there's ample time to prepare for Europa in August.... that doesn't mean we should throw the FA cup to the dogs, all possible Silvaware is highly welcome and will importantly give us some bragging rights.

Top Clubs are still in it for the FA Cup. Nothing is Impossible as far Top 3 is concerned. We can't afford to exhaust our Players while chasing Cup and Top 3.

Guess what? Our next EPL Match is on Tuesday. Are you saying we should play our best Team now, and still expecting them to perform well on Tuesday?!

Leicester is likely to miss out. Everton under Carlo is becoming a Force to reckon with. Is it possible for Leicester to beat Everton at G - Park?! I doubt it?

We must win our next Game against B & H Albion to closing Gap on Leicester - not Chelsea.

It's not a new thing anyway, remember late Dec fixtures in the league..... but I know Ole will field a relatively strong team out there today and as you said, our fellow top four hopefuls are still in the cup, so we're not the only one on this.
