James Garner hasn't had a bad season either at Everton despite their off and on the field issues.

Elanga another one who has flourished.

It's heavy shirt to wear the United one. Every single performance is analysed under a microscope and a lot of players simply can't handle it.

He's not a striker, and Fulham love him.
How does he compare with Cas?

Mainly by the fans.

Imagine if we gave players a break.

Playing for Fulham and playing for Manchester United are two very different things. He looked terrified every time he stepped onto the pitch.

I think the pressure has diminished significantly since 2013, with standards and expectations steadily dropping

Pleased to see he’s carving out a decent PL career for himself. Ditto Garner & Elanga.

I think we maybe forget what an incredible achievement it is to emerge from a pro-level academy and play regular PL football. 20 PL squads of 25 players each puts you in elite company as one of the top 500 players on the country. When you multiply that by the other best leagues; Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A & Ligue 1, it means that to play PL football puts you among the best 2,500 players on the planet. That’s pretty remarkable really given the popularity and global adoption of football!

I think people sometimes lose sight of how remarkably good at football every single player in the PL is. It is an incredible achievement to be anywhere near it.

Over the past few years I've started going to a fair bit of lower league football when I can, and it really puts it into context. Because believe me, even the players in the national league are facking good. But when you watch a PL game up close, the sheer difference in speed and quality is almost unbelievable.

The pressure on United players is greater than ever when we go long periods without winning stuff. United are still the biggest supported team in the World, The pressure on United players is ridiculous. Especially when they dont perform.

What pressure?

Nobody expects United to win anything of note for the foreseeable future.

Look at Onana, Rashford Maguire. They aren't under 'immense pressure' despite being average at best, and will all be at the club next season.

Look at Arsenal and Liverpool today. That was pressure.

Everybody expects Man United to win stuff.

United expect to win stuff

Its a pointless arguement to suggest otherwise,. Even when we are miles away from winning stuff (like we are now and were in the 70s and 80s.) The expectation doesnt go away and neither does thhe pressure on players and managers. And owners. Just listen to what Jim is saying.

Not true.

BBC, SKY, TNT, ESPN, Talksport etc do a deep dive into everything we do and especially when it's a bad result.

We get the most media attention whether we are good or bad. Just how it is.

They want to. They hope to. They don't expect to.

We are a huge club, but standards and expectations have dropped.

Would Bayern, Real, Juve accept 6th, 7th 8th ?

Would their fans accept the performances we hVe seen from our players?

What do you expect United to win?

Because we are the biggest supported club, not because poor performances are unheard of.

Read a book (please read a book RDD) written by an ex United player called Mickey Thomas (ask Diafol about him).

The pressure of wearing the red shirt for United nearly did for him. And that was when we won fack all.

Things change mate. Players earn far more, have far more power nowadays, and there are clubs out there now with almost as.many resources as we have.

Nobody expects much from United now.

Prove me wrong though, what major titles do you expect us to win in the next 2 seasons?

I see Mickey on occasion around here. I now live in the village he was born. Had a chat with him a while back when I was playing our usual Thursday night game and I think he was there to do some coaching or pick up his Grandkid. Nice fella.

Playing for Utd can weigh a player down. Some thrive though but, no matter what, even getting a game for United means they're bloody good at football.

I always think there will be pressure on United players but, at present, expectations are low so if you give it 100% each game and can do the basics then no one will really criticise.

No different to Liverpool though, and most of them seem to be handling it ok.

I’d suggest it’s more how United handle them that’s the issue. Or they’re just not that good in the first place.
