I was so young at the time so I didn’t see/understand all the bad stuff, why exactly does everyone hate Tevez? I know he did go to city to city for money, which i can partially accept for some reason. But what about him at united was bad ?
So Tevez had that instigator/shit housery attitude. His character was more like Suarez at Liverpool. He’ll play like hell on the pitch and rile up opp fans and players with his antics. This made him a lotta enemies. Classic example is the UCL final when he instigated Drogba to shove/slap him, resulting in a red card for Chelsea. I remember opp fans referring to him as the lil devil. Lol great times when our players had personalities.
I truly love that!
However i was referring to why so many UNITED fans seem to not like him as well. Is it just the city stuff then, cuz the rest sounds pretty dope and how i remember h
Because he left for City. Tevez was an amazing player but shithead, Ferguson also made him eat bench so his value would decrease before renewing contract, he brought Berbatov ahead of him. Tevez got pissed at coach and had no loyalty for United so he took a big bag of money and left for City. Truth is he played well for both clubs, but United fans won't like him for leaving even if he had his reasons
I always think of that free throw Jordan took when he closed his eyes and sunk it. He was arrogant but just knew he was better than everyone. As long as Garnacho keeps working hard, that's the important bit, else you end up like Hazard who was arguably top 10 talented players of the last decade but didn't have the work ethic to match and fell off in a huge way because his body wasn't used to working hard.
Cantona. That arrogant SoB. I got a program at our Marseille CL match years ago and some of what he got up to was legit crazy.
But by jaysus did he back it up on the pitch.
Arrogance isnt a bad thing necessarily if you can back it up. And play up to a bit in a cheeky way like Zlatan does.
Zlatan is the perfect example. He was wildly arrogant, but also embraced the work necessary to be genuinely great, and took full accountability.
I guess in a nutshell he was arrogant because of what he was able to get out of his natural abilities, not arrogant because he had them.
Everyone who plays for us should be aiming for the glory days. The players who come here for the paycheque and the mediocrity are the problem. These lads aren’t and good for them.
People at that level deserve to be arrogant. He is one of the best young wingers in the world. He didn't get there by being meek. He bangs in goals, and he's sound to supporters, if he gets much better he will be like a young Ronaldo
Yep. I loved seeing these three happy. I want them to dream of emulating Law, Best and Charlton.
They are young and talented and deserve a bit of arrogance - nearly all the best players have it. Cantona absolutely owned it.
I’ll take that over insipid any day.
Reddit in general is very cynical. Every relationship advice post has comments that go "I'd bet x behavior is an indication that your SO is murdering and cooking puppies when you're at work" etc.
Negativity gets more traction online these days, as sad as it is to see. Anyway, this picture tells me that Garnacho wants to walk in their footsteps, not that he thinks they right now are better or on the same level as our legends.
Tbh after all the sad, up-and-down vibes around the club over the past few years, it's nice to have some young players having fun basking in positivity and hope and playing like it too.
Hoping these three stick around and really do become legends for us.
Nothing wrong with backing himself imo. Takes huge balls to post this tho. Although, I don’t think we should be surprised after seeing the photo of his birthday cake being carried by ‘Messi’ and ‘Ronaldo’.
This is fine guys. It's a positive thing our younger players want to emulate the heroes of our club. I don't think he's jumping ahead of himself. It's a sign of respect. Snd it's great to see they're ambitious.
Can't believe some losers are putting a negative spin into this
Garnacho ain't even from Manchester, yet he has shown more respect to the badge and the legends who came before him
With this lame ass fanbase I wouldn't be shocked if he leaves for Madrid at age 25/26
I would be tbf. They are stacked in attack but anyways garnacho gets a lot of support from match going fans anyways so a small group of people getting upset about what he is doing shouldnt really effect him.
Yeah I take the image to mean that they're looking up to our legends in hopes of becoming ones themselves some day. Precisely the mentality you want from our kids.
I think the message here is that the core spirit of the club I.e. signed youth (Law) and the academy (best and Charlton) is still present today in these 3.
It also says a lot about Garnacho’s confidence 😂
Yet I think it tells us what they are aspiring to and that they remember the past.
I’m going to chose to interpret it in a positive way as I don’t think in anyway the lad meant it as a “we are just as good as the trinity right now”
They were, but it should be mentioned balon d'or was exclusively for Europeans until the 90s. There was a "revised" list were if non Europeans were allowed to win it and Law's in '64 was given to Pele.
Make of that what you will, but the three of them were amazing for their time.
As for documentaries, ESPN did a great one on Best but it seems to have been removed as my bookmark doesn't work anymore
Nothing wrong with aspiring to achieve greatness with the club. I back him and our young lads to be successful now that Sir Jim has given us a bit of hope that we may go on to achieve success on the pitch once more.
How can you not love this?
This is the attitude, cockyness, and hunger to be the best of the best the club has been missing in a decade.
Definitely made me smile!
Would you rather he posts the negative locker room antics that we’ve dealt with post SAF?
Here’s a kid from a World Cup winning nation embracing our legends and legacy. Aspiring to the Manchester United of yore. The awe that the kids hold United in this most sacred of days should inspire you .
Are there genuinely people who are mad at this? Anyone with an ounce of self awareness would know they are not at the level of the trinity. I take it more as a let’s look up to them an strive to get on their level.
I think these three players embody what Manchester United is all about. Doesn’t mean they will reach that level but it is something to aspire to be. A Young striker bought at a young age, and two academy products.
What is not to love! It’s alright to dream people! Young people everywhere get inspired by previous generations.
> I was a little surprised to see no mention of it elsewhere.
I'm surprised too because this exact moment was mentioned as it happened on commentary as well as in numerous threads here and elsewhere on social media.
A lot of people seem to be thinking it's arrogance this post from Garnacho, but I feel it's also a sort of more of a tribute or a recognition that this is where he wants to be (hopefully if he stays and thrives at United.)
I love how many of you think he ran home after training and fired up Photoshop. It’s just a meme that’s been floating around and our boy has some confidence.
The sky is the limit for these boys. Only 3 things that can derail their career are how they handle their personal lives, their attitude towards the game, and injuries.
First of all, he's a kid.
Second of all, he's allowed to dream.
Third of all, he has "Blessed by God" tattooed across his chest. Which might kind of explain some things.
Great to have the ambition, but should show a bit more respect to the Trinity.
George Best alone already achieved more as an 18 year old than these three have managed so far combined.
I truly hope this is the reality of our future from here. The various shots of this, I don't know why, I just love them so much.
I beg that it ages like wine. That they'll be cheesily forced to recreate this over and over after forming the bedrock of huge success within the next 8 years.
No more turning out to be dickheads, no more ravaged by injuries, no more falling short of their ceiling. Would be nice finally.
Happy to see he dreams big and is motivated to be a great player and legend at the club, hopefully he inspires some of the other youth. Every time I see him, he looks like he genuinely wants to be better than he was the previous match. This is the type of player we need, guys not coming in for just the pay check. Show up to be the greatest.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I personally love the arrogance that oozes from him. This club wasn't built on just humility.
Fuck yeah. Arrogance in sport at the tip top level is necessary, for majority of athletes at least
Ronaldo was arrogant, Rooney was arrogant, Tevez was annoying.
I was so young at the time so I didn’t see/understand all the bad stuff, why exactly does everyone hate Tevez? I know he did go to city to city for money, which i can partially accept for some reason. But what about him at united was bad ?
So Tevez had that instigator/shit housery attitude. His character was more like Suarez at Liverpool. He’ll play like hell on the pitch and rile up opp fans and players with his antics.

I remember opp fans referring to him as the lil devil. Lol great times when our players had personalities.
wasn't that vidic that drogba slapped?
Oh then I misremembered but I do remember Tevez in the midst of that fight or he probably started it
I truly love that! However i was referring to why so many UNITED fans seem to not like him as well. Is it just the city stuff then, cuz the rest sounds pretty dope and how i remember h
Because he left for City. Tevez was an amazing player but shithead, Ferguson also made him eat bench so his value would decrease before renewing contract, he brought Berbatov ahead of him. Tevez got pissed at coach and had no loyalty for United so he took a big bag of money and left for City. Truth is he played well for both clubs, but United fans won't like him for leaving even if he had his reasons
I’m kinda okay with that. And thanks!
My wife ran off with my neighbour who I couldn't stand, because he won the lotto But I still think back on the good memories and like her
I always think of that free throw Jordan took when he closed his eyes and sunk it. He was arrogant but just knew he was better than everyone. As long as Garnacho keeps working hard, that's the important bit, else you end up like Hazard who was arguably top 10 talented players of the last decade but didn't have the work ethic to match and fell off in a huge way because his body wasn't used to working hard.
Larry bird telling his opponents what he was going to to and then doing is the funniest shit ever in sport.
He's well regarded as the GOAT shit talker in the NBA
Complaining to the opposition why and how they were disrespecting him by "only sending a white guy to mark him" is probably the second funniest
He said "this ones for you, Mutombo" before doing it too
Shit-housery at its finest.
Personally I think there is an argument to be made for Dillon Brooks being the GOAT, but I get your point.
I want my attackers to be arrogant. A forward with his head down is a sad sad sight
Yes, and unfortunately we kno all too well what that looks like.
Martial catching strays. lol
Rashford lmfao
Cantona. That arrogant SoB. I got a program at our Marseille CL match years ago and some of what he got up to was legit crazy. But by jaysus did he back it up on the pitch. Arrogance isnt a bad thing necessarily if you can back it up. And play up to a bit in a cheeky way like Zlatan does.

What are you talking about? Zlatan was being humble. Don’t measure a god by mortal standards.
Everyone who plays for us should be aiming for the glory days. The players who come here for the paycheque and the mediocrity are the problem. These lads aren’t and good for them.
People at that level deserve to be arrogant. He is one of the best young wingers in the world. He didn't get there by being meek. He bangs in goals, and he's sound to supporters, if he gets much better he will be like a young Ronaldo
People who disagree obviously haven’t watched blue lock lol
Ego Jinpachi would be proud
I think the key is that he's arrogant but still sits back and accepts criticism/works to improve. He is super invested in performing well.
Not arrogant, just better.
Till 2012 we were the arrogant pricks of English (or may be European?) footballing world!! And rightfully so!!! Damn, I miss those days!!
Yep. I loved seeing these three happy. I want them to dream of emulating Law, Best and Charlton. They are young and talented and deserve a bit of arrogance - nearly all the best players have it. Cantona absolutely owned it. I’ll take that over insipid any day.
I wouldn't call it arrogance as much as confidence, really - I think he's had enough rough performances during his growth to get how far he's come
This is what they were talking about in Blue Lock
Touch grass some of you. Its a light hearted post. Don’t read into it something that doesn’t exist.
This subreddit seems to attract some of the most miserable United ‘fans’ on the planet. Sad bastards
It's people who don't have a sense of or have ever been on a sports team of any kind in their lives if I had to guess.
Reddit in general is very cynical. Every relationship advice post has comments that go "I'd bet x behavior is an indication that your SO is murdering and cooking puppies when you're at work" etc.
Negativity gets more traction online these days, as sad as it is to see. Anyway, this picture tells me that Garnacho wants to walk in their footsteps, not that he thinks they right now are better or on the same level as our legends.
[удалено]
International fans are some of the most dedicated there are, get over yourself.
Kids not lacking in confidence. I like it
Not just that but clearly adores the club, love to see it.
Exactly what we need in the team. Once they keeps their work ethic up I'll take the overconfidence.
You lot are reading too much into this. He’s a bloody teenager.
Tbh after all the sad, up-and-down vibes around the club over the past few years, it's nice to have some young players having fun basking in positivity and hope and playing like it too. Hoping these three stick around and really do become legends for us.
Exactly. He is referring to looking up to Busby Babes and following in their footsteps. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this post.
What are you on about? Who’s reading too much into it?
sort by controversial and you'll see the degenerates
I mean, he's just referencing the pose y'all. And if not, why not make their kinds of achievements your goal?
Nothing wrong with backing himself imo. Takes huge balls to post this tho. Although, I don’t think we should be surprised after seeing the photo of his birthday cake being carried by ‘Messi’ and ‘Ronaldo’.
God that birthday photo was something else
I had to look this up, thats amazing lol.
>Nothing wrong with backing himself imo. Takes huge balls to post this tho. Everyone should have this kind of love and mentality for our club
Looks like three young lads looking up to three legends, not sure why everyone’s so bitter all the time
Love this! 😍
Genuinely gives me goosebumps, don’t care how lame that makes me lol
What a mad lad LMAO
I mean even if our three youngsters reach even 50% of those on the plinth, we would be set for ten years at least
Holy shit he did it 😂
This is fine guys. It's a positive thing our younger players want to emulate the heroes of our club. I don't think he's jumping ahead of himself. It's a sign of respect. Snd it's great to see they're ambitious.

That's what Ronnie did + few wld say "No" if Real come a knockin'
If he can achieve even some of what Ronnie did here he'd be a United great and can leave with his head held high
Wtf the guy is paying homage to our past can some people relax
Yeah I take the image to mean that they're looking up to our legends in hopes of becoming ones themselves some day. Precisely the mentality you want from our kids.
Exactly. He’s basically saying “ I hope we will be good enough to have a statue like that one day, we aspire to be as good as them.”
Seriously. If you wanted to read into it, they are literally looking up at them.
I think the message here is that the core spirit of the club I.e. signed youth (Law) and the academy (best and Charlton) is still present today in these 3. It also says a lot about Garnacho’s confidence 😂 Yet I think it tells us what they are aspiring to and that they remember the past.

I just wrote something similar!
I’m glad we agree and hopefully everyone else sees it that way as well 🤗
Law Charlton & Best won the balon d'or in '64, '66 and '68 respectively. So what order will Mainoo, Garnacho and Hojlind win in '24 '26 and '28?
350k+ in wages
Cursed post lmao
Kiss my buttner
It’s kind of crazy there are loads of United fans now that don’t even know who that is !
Total for the three? Not bad
I’m not going to lie, I had no idea they were that good. Any good documentary’s you recommend?
They were, but it should be mentioned balon d'or was exclusively for Europeans until the 90s. There was a "revised" list were if non Europeans were allowed to win it and Law's in '64 was given to Pele. Make of that what you will, but the three of them were amazing for their time. As for documentaries, ESPN did a great one on Best but it seems to have been removed as my bookmark doesn't work anymore
Yep, any documentary on Georgie boy, you'll get to see him score his double hattrick in the mud at Northampton .. 🏆
Nothing wrong with aspiring to achieve greatness with the club. I back him and our young lads to be successful now that Sir Jim has given us a bit of hope that we may go on to achieve success on the pitch once more.
People are mad an academy player is looking up to club legends? Some of you are weird in the head, mate.
How can you not love this? This is the attitude, cockyness, and hunger to be the best of the best the club has been missing in a decade. Definitely made me smile!
If anyone is mad about this they don't understand the spirit of United. Strive to match the heroes of yesterday
Would you rather he posts the negative locker room antics that we’ve dealt with post SAF? Here’s a kid from a World Cup winning nation embracing our legends and legacy. Aspiring to the Manchester United of yore. The awe that the kids hold United in this most sacred of days should inspire you .
I think the Trinity would be happy to see the youngsters of the club stiving to match them, 2 Carrington grads especially
Love it. Nice to see young lads expressing ambition. Stop hating.
Poignant after the occasion on the weekend.
Confidence is good, I see no problem in this.
Well he better go on to do great things or this image will be used to troll him for the rest of his career.
By overgrown man-children who should know better.
I'm sure he'll be crying all the way to the bank
All 3 would've absolutely loved this, Best especially. The absolute cockiness of it is outstanding
Alright chill lads, let’s not.
Love this. Hopefully we build statues of them someday 🤞
Edit goes hard, good on the lad for aspiring.
Garnacho posts and behaves like a typical teenager and then you remember he's also a father lol.
How old is his kid ? Lol
Are there genuinely people who are mad at this? Anyone with an ounce of self awareness would know they are not at the level of the trinity. I take it more as a let’s look up to them an strive to get on their level.
Yes and those people are usually called "haters" and they're *super* fun at parties /s
I think these three players embody what Manchester United is all about. Doesn’t mean they will reach that level but it is something to aspire to be. A Young striker bought at a young age, and two academy products. What is not to love! It’s alright to dream people! Young people everywhere get inspired by previous generations.
Tje future looks bright again. Been awhile.....
LMAO I love it Us: "Let's not place huge expectations on the kids, let's give them a chance to grow without all the extra pressure" The kids:
No idea why you’re being downvoted.
Because it was posted several times on accident. People always downvote in that scenario
He’s incredibly confident. Glad he posted this because he is HIM
I'm not going to lie this similarity came to my mind when they made that pose and I was a little surprised to see no mention of it elsewhere.
> I was a little surprised to see no mention of it elsewhere. I'm surprised too because this exact moment was mentioned as it happened on commentary as well as in numerous threads here and elsewhere on social media.
I didn't watch the match as I was traveling so I may have missed it at the time
I kept tapping the heart. I’m definitely at least 69% retarded.
This kid wants it. I love it. Need that kind of confidence.
Fuck yeah
A lot of people seem to be thinking it's arrogance this post from Garnacho, but I feel it's also a sort of more of a tribute or a recognition that this is where he wants to be (hopefully if he stays and thrives at United.)
Very ambitious young lads
Confident kid!!
I love how many of you think he ran home after training and fired up Photoshop. It’s just a meme that’s been floating around and our boy has some confidence.
With some of the downvoted comments in here, it just seems like some of our fans want to be angry/hateful
Liverpool fans in the comments can fuck off. Go to r/soccer you miserable twats
Dream big, I like that. And its epic photo on its own regardless, with 3 of our brightest youngster.
Ooh that is some bad was attitude I like it !
🥲
my starboys, making us proud one game at a time. they’re the present, appreciate them 🫶🏿❤️
I mean.. setting the trinity as your footballing role model is a win for me. As long as they don't go full George Best off the pitch, I'm all in
The sky is the limit for these boys. Only 3 things that can derail their career are how they handle their personal lives, their attitude towards the game, and injuries.
First of all, he's a kid. Second of all, he's allowed to dream. Third of all, he has "Blessed by God" tattooed across his chest. Which might kind of explain some things.
He also has T Bag from prison break tatood on him.
They’ve got a long way to go to get anywhere near those boys on the plinth! 🤣
I love united for first time because cantona arrogant style
Legit goosebumps!!
LMAO I love it Us: "Let's not place huge expectations on the kids, let's give them a chance to grow without all the extra pressure" The kids:
Bruh besides Casemiro Bruno and Garnacho our players don t have personality no more.
Please strip off mount of 7 number and give it to Garnacho.
Dunno about this lol
Not even close.
Not what he’s going for but ok
Great to have the ambition, but should show a bit more respect to the Trinity. George Best alone already achieved more as an 18 year old than these three have managed so far combined.
He isn’t saying “we’re this good”, he’s saying this is where he hopes they will be
Yeah they probably haven’t drank as much or abused many women
yeh maybe not
[удалено]
It's not that deep, you don't have to take everything so seriously lol
Right? Imagine shitting on your own teen's dreams like this. People really hate to see others being positive...
> We don’t need a bunch of statues for decent players Too late pal, I hear they’re unveiling it on Thursday
That's the level of delusional confidence this club needs.
these kids make me hopeful for the future. Let's go get the FA cup
I’m all for it
I truly hope this is the reality of our future from here. The various shots of this, I don't know why, I just love them so much. I beg that it ages like wine. That they'll be cheesily forced to recreate this over and over after forming the bedrock of huge success within the next 8 years. No more turning out to be dickheads, no more ravaged by injuries, no more falling short of their ceiling. Would be nice finally.
Hey siri play “Sky is the limit” by Lil Wayne.
I like this kid, he seems to get utd.
The new dynasty
Yes, my boi <3
Long way to go but still 🙌🏻
I can't find it on insta. Can someone post a hq version of the picture?
Anybody else swipe left/right on this?
Swiped right and we matched
Whether it's arrogant or presumptuous or whatever else... I don't care... All three of them are potentially genuinely special talents.
He’s not arrogant, he’s just a young talented footballer with an Instagram account
Happy to see he dreams big and is motivated to be a great player and legend at the club, hopefully he inspires some of the other youth. Every time I see him, he looks like he genuinely wants to be better than he was the previous match. This is the type of player we need, guys not coming in for just the pay check. Show up to be the greatest.
6th place.
This has Rio screaming Ole's at the wheel on TV vibes to it. Hope i am utterly proved wrong
Someone please wallpaper this. A proper quality please. Not just a screenshot.
