Alex Crook INSISTS Man Utd Will EXCEED Expectations This Season & PRAISES Their Transfer Business 👏🤩 

After last season its not hard for them to have a better season.

I’m glad this random geezer from the pub thinks so, hard-hitting journalism at its finest.. let’s all be grateful for the Athletic

ETH has won 2 trophies in 2 years, while dealing with the nonsense of ronaldo - greenwood - rashford - sancho - antony They finished 6 pts (2 games) off top 4 while dealing with over 60 injuries to key personel playing evans in more games than any defender. and only having 1 striker. If united can half the injuries they will walk into top 4. if they can add personel and remove deadwood - GREAT even better may push for 3rd and 2nd. but anyone who think ETH has not done well in context of the season and what happened behind the sceens on and off the pitch - should have a voice

"Football Expert" do one haha

It was Murrayfield mate. Some poor research there Sam.

Not difficult when everyone's expectations are low 😊😊.

I absolutely love United fans swagger every season post Fergie, long may their hopes be dashed.

ENGLISH MEDIA NOW DISCUSS LIVERPOOL THEY HAVE A NEW COACH...GIVE MANCHESTER UNITED A REST

Don't know is worse Crook or Goldstein as they can't go a sentence without mentioning UTD

Alex crook was ten hag out last season

Is zirkhee the guy that couldnt get ahead of Depay and Weghorst?

Funny, thats what he said last season. When he said they'd be title challengers and tipped spurs for relegation. Luckily he's not their top football reporter, oh wait

The Man Utd v Rangers game was at Murrayfield in Edinburgh, Not Hampden...

United have signed an 18 year old CB. His 18 years old, he is a player for the future I think united will do well to make top 4.

Crook says United will exceed expectations at the start of every season lol flash forward to January when Van Nistelrooy is interim manager hahaha

Atleast i heard some positivity from these guys unlike so called ESPN FC....GGMU

Jean-Alain Boumsong ripped it up in Scotland! Yoro just played well in 45 minutes against a Scottish club in an early preseason game. Yoro should not be raved on or judged yet

They signed a player who was back up to Depay and Weghorst and while Yoro may come good in time, the only reason he joined United is because Real Madrid didnt want to pay.more than 30m. Hardly like signing Vidic and Rooney again is it?

Matterface loves United like Crook. Probably moved to live there because he loves them so much. Very moving.

You lot are on Drugs if you think mount made that run to pull the defender away, he made that run looking for the ball and nothing more mount isn’t that clever of a player

Need to slow down with the expectations. We’ve signed two players in the window so far. Released 4 players and Sold 4. One being a academy star that we sold out of duress. We need to complete all our transfer targets before we even consider lighting our cigars. We played decent against Rangers, but lest we forget it’s a friendly against Rangers. We need to relax and wait to see the process. At the beginning of last season we all thought we were going to build upon ETH winning a trophy and finishing in the top 4, and we all know how that ended. Let’s just be calm and wait to see how the first 5 PL games go before we start predicting.

They have already sold players. Generating a total of Sum: €42.50m. Also, have reduced the wage bill buy €34.8m a year. The club is moving in the right direction

That's because expectations are on the floor so anything better is an improvement

Cant wait for the Bees to give them a reality check

Not in a position to pay 50 million for a player to put them on the bench Maguire Mount Antony Sancho Amribat and the 250 a week of players who have been on the bench Rashford Erickson Martial that is over 2 million a week in wages and they have no chance of getting rid of them until the contract expires

July: We'll exceed expectations, great transfer business November: Poor transfer business, our club has been rotting for 13 years

they played at murrayfield in edinburgh, not hampden in glasgow

I mean expectations are in the gutter….

Im happy with the early transfer business but lets see. There's a long way to go yet. We had pretty much no competition for Zirkzee, and no other team was prepared to pay what we did for yoro. I'm happy with the speed we've done it. Lot of work to do yet. We need to sign at least one more cb, 2 cms if we're letting amrabat go, and a rb, plus some more clearing out to get done

Dean Saunders tends to waffle.

Expectations are so low that they should. They will still be pretty lame

Our expectations are to get European football and maybe a trophy. It’s not exactly high expectations.😂

It's the main reason united got yoro.. he wanted Madrid but not offered enough first team football.

this almost certainly means they'll finish in midtable

With the new players, structure and hopefully not as many injuries United could definitely push for the top 4. And maybe win a cup lile the Europa or FA cup again.

2 18 year old signings and united is back😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

One thing in common with Football pundits and experts..ALL FAILED MANAGERS...They talk a good game but clueless about management.

Talking about pre season here guys, they need to relax

Yoro is now worth £100 million what s signing doubled his value in a week. The Ashworth effect

2 o 1 odds on United finishing in top 4? A good bet I believe.

Getting into the top 6 again is their aim, and getting a goal difference that isn't minus 🤣

Jim and Simon seconded to work for Tesco mobile.

Crook on the hype train now..guy was all over ten haag b4 cup final

Snubchester United overpaying for French farmers and Dutch roadsweepers. Minority Jim is clueless.

What is Crook suggesting those expectations to be? If the expectation is another finish outside the top six, then yes they may well exceed that, if it is top four, probably not.

Of course, just like england were bringing it home

Lets come back to this in 6 months time when its ten hag out again and "Yoro is inexperienced and a liability" 😂😂

Varane 340k per week Martial 300k per week De beek 100k per week Sell sancho and casemiro that's another 750k per week Almost 1.5m per week in wages there

We're back fc fans never learn do they, you would think they would as they have been here many many times before. Their signings are pretty uninspiring so far to be honest

United are definitely heading in the right direction there looking good again

Breaking news a United fan thinks United will do well this season 😂

Well done utd. You beat rangers in a friendly. We applaud you 😂

Wasn’t the game at Murrayfield not Hampden? 😂

I guess it is TalkManutd this week(as usual).

Talksport doesn’t exist without Utd. HATED ADORED NEVER IGNORED 👍

Amad has 'Saka' vibes about him. Be great if he did step up this season become a similar player to Saka!

Expectations are rock bottom, so yeah they probably will

😂😂 Indeed.. They'll no doubt get dumpt outta the last 16 of the Europe Conference League as opposed to the group stage, finish 7th & probably win another F.A/League Cup, again at a cost of over £200m

Rangers vs Man Utd was at Murrayfield.

Talksport still bringing up the Ibiza thing because they've nothing else negative to talk about.

Garnacho one side amad the other rashford and antony have to come on and probe they're worthy of a start. Think we need to sign a LB and ugarte. Keep players fit and we go for top 4 and build from there. Ten hag is the right man 👊

First season getting sent off regularly great idea!

United will shock a lot of people this season

As long as everyone else lets them

Man United overpaying for players again….. add him to the list with Maguire, Sancho, Anthony…

Struggle to listen to Alex crook after Euro 24 with his comments

You said they cant close the gap in 3 years but they beat City in the cup final this year!!!last year they lost it....they need . more players first of all and after that you put the cherry on top.....you buy the Ronaldos Figo Zidanes etc.....now we need depth.Arsenal are were we wanna be....they buy the Osimhens Rice and Mbappes....thats where were gonna be next year....adding those final touches.....next year were gonna have to replace Fernandes Casemiro and a couple of other veterans.The way United are going this season is promising!!!great players for good prices!!!Zirkzee is a steal for that money....

They played at Murrayfield

This is why Alex Crooks opinion means nothing clueless what are their expectations? Can you narrow it down a bit please or is that too much to ask ?

They won't finish in the top 4...is that exceeding expectations

If he had balls he should have said to Cristiano that he dont need him at the beginning of the season ...Instead he humiliated Ronaldo like a coward .I am amazed to see how ManU fans are groveling at this mediocre manager ...good luck..6th place is reserved for you

What does "exceed expectations "even mean? Who's expectations, what are they😅😅

The Norwich city scarfs will be out by November.

it was Murryfield stadium,,, not Hampden park,,, calm down alex man utd crooks.

Still doesn't guarantee they finish in the top 4. 2 players and utd fans are piping up 😂😂😂😂 zirkzee is a lightweight willian and yoro wait till he gets tested properly cos he is no better than upamecano

My expectation is that United will be in a relegation battle this season, so it wouldn't be difficult to exceed my expectation and finish in mid-table.

Top 4 will be attained. Will be above Liverpool Villa Spurs but a bit to go bedore catching City and Arsenal.

😂 they signed a 18 year old and now they are going to win the league

Squad is too thin, injury prone in key areas, lack of goals. Pinning all their hopes on an unproven 18 year old. 😂

Title challenge this season i feel it

Crazy cumulo nimbus belly crook.

Might win an egg cup as long as they beat Coventry.

United inflation for Yoro. Next year will be worth £ 200 million as United finish sixth at best.😢

There's 0 point asking alex crook about united, he's a yanited fan.. they're all delusional. If yoro goes straight into thevl team, that's his career done.

What did sir alex do in his 3rd year?

Send Sancho+$25m for ugarte.

We could have a good season but we could equally have a terrible one…. That’s eth and united all over

League cup win 1st season, FA cup win 2nd season, league title this coming season

Exceed expectations they will I mean they where pathetic last season. They can’t do any worse.

Fully changed his tune

i think ETH will get top 3 this season ..wuth the players comin in....

wheres jim and simon 🥴

YOUNG PLAYER MAKE MISTAKES SO DO OLD PLAYERS AS WELL

What has Alex crook been smoking? Just because united have signed a couple of players and a couple of directors they think they are going to be so much better. Whilst Ten Hag is the manager they will continue to give everyone else a good laugh 😆.

The twitter correspondent

We hear this every season. lmao

Vile fans would have you believe their the best atm

No chance, ETH will be out of a job by Christmas

Manchester United will win the premier league 24/25 Amad player of the season

Played at murryfield you absolute whopper
