Kits That Hit: Manchester United's green and gold-halved Third kit from 1992-94.

From the start of the era of Fergie-era dominance, and a nod to the Newton Heath heritage.

The Inter Milan home shirt from 1997/98 was a masterpiece. Ronaldo Nazario, Diego Simeone, the Pirelli sponsor. Pure class.

Some fans are losing all faith in Ruben Amorím after the 3-1 defeat at Brentford.

Is he really United's worst-ever manager? Is it his fault?

It's multi-faceted, and far too nuanced to simplify that much. But something has to change.

Well, Leicester-Wrexham was a LOT shorter on quality than I expected!!

Wrexham fought hard for the point. But Leicester were just crap.

Amazing away support from the Wrexham fans though.

Hated. Adored. Never ignored.

Manchester United not even in the Champions League, but so many pundits circling back to us still!

I guess so many former players doing well, can't be a coincidence though 🤔

Anaemic. Shambolic. Toothless.
My reaction to another United shocker at the Etihad.

A fairly measured reaction to Serbia 0-5 England I'd say!

My top 5 United home kits of the Ferguson era. I don't think any modern ones come close to these IMO.

What's your number one? Did I miss any obvious outstanding kits?? 🔴⚪⚫

Am I being unreasonable for suggesting Everton were "slightly lucky" to beat Wolves 3-2?? They played well, but nearly let it slip.

So many Everton fans came at me on socials, despite this video being overwhelmingly positive! 😂

The internet. Can't win!

Man Utd 3-2 Burnley instant reaction.

A bit of relief for Ruben Amorím as a late Bruno Fernandes penalty seals 3 valuable points. The intensity was a big improvement. But wow, we are woeful sometimes.

The United 3rd kit is beautiful 😍

Like it or not, Ruben Amorím's on borrowed time after the Grimsby shit show.

Will he walk? It sounded like he wanted to.

Should he get the sack? I hope not, I'm sick of the toxic cycle.

But he NEEDS to switch up that system! Especially against Burnley which is now must-win.

Eleven years on from the Massacre in Milton Keynes - it's the Gubbing in Grimsby.

First UWS of the season, thanks @andymitten.bsky.social 👌🏻

I mean, look at that artwork from @stanchow.bsky.social, beautiful.

Chelsea's home kit is "meh" anyway. But that big ol' ugly circle as well? 🤮

IT'S MATCH DAY!!!!

Let's go Reds! No overreactions, just pure support for Ruben and the team.

Honestly pumped for this!

The season we signed Sancho, Varane and Ronaldo, I was buzzing. I've been optimistic before. But...

...we've had too many false dawns 😫 Really hoping this isn't another (expensive) one 🤞🏻

United looking very sharp going forward vs Everton so far. Great interplay.

This back 3 though, worries me.

Biggest surprise is the work rate off the ball. Everyone's so keen to work the ball back, and that's a massive welcome change!

Honestly, I hope he thrives. Why would anyone want otherwise??

Some weirdos suggesting he "doesn't deserve" a Barcelona move 🫩 Give over! There's a quality player there and Barça recognise that.

Good luck to him

Bafflingly late England subs, you say?

Mbappé leaves, and PSG start to click.

Is Kylian Mbappé too much of a luxury player for Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid? 🤔

Chelsea AND United fans - what's your opinion overall of Jadon Sancho? Is he popular anywhere?!

Drop me a score out of 10 for how positive you feel about him, and state your team.

For me, he's a flat zero (as a United fan).
