The Official Man Utd Thread - Part 3.

[gingin]

Angel Gomes is a nephew of Nani. I heard that today and I'm not sure if I heard it before but I thought it was interesting nonetheless.

Go on I'll bite, who?

Maradona.

Roberto Carlos.


Garrincha was a half inch too tall. I’d have got a hell of a lot more in if I’d said 5ft 7 :sad:

There’s a small Argentinian lad who played in a poor southern Italian city in the 80s I believe

Xavi, Modric and Iniesta must be around 5ft6 or just marginally taller

Tbh they're who I had in mind (with little bird)but they’re slightly taller. Iniesta by about three inches.

Scholes and Agüero were another two, but they’re just over it too.

Fair enough, didn’t check their height, I just know their center of gravity is pretty low

That was why I asked ;-)
All I had was Maradona.

Lol...its gone over his head

Keep licking the windows.

I don’t get this size thing.

Some of the best players ever are less than five foot six.

To compensate for lack of height and/or physicality you need to have outlandish talents in other parts of your game.

Like Maradona, Messi or Joe Allen.

Maradona's low centre of gravity is often given as a factor in his incredible balance. Made him very difficult to knock off the ball.

Best player of all time imho.
Flawed character no doubt but what a talent.


4 from 4 for United. Bailly the only injury. I'd like to see another couple of signings. Wan Bissaka is replacing Valencia and James in for Herrera. The squad is weak in midfield and centre back remains the priority.

Jones, Smalling and Rojo not good enough to be regular starters. Tuanzebe looks promising.

If the squad stays as is they will struggle for top 4.
