Greenwood is on fire for me in the first season. Playing him either has a winger or inside forward at AML. 19 goals in all comps. He's a superstar and has easily surpassed Danial James out on the right.
I'm finding the same, Mason is a beast on the right

Ahh I love this game sometimes!
I've been giving Romero the odd few games as you do, and then this happens

The biggest mistake I made is not bringing left back. Luke Shaw is often injured and Williams is on loan (my board did that). Also when is on the pitch Shaw is nothing special. So, for everyone who start new save - fist buy some world class LB.
Yeah I messed up and decided to pass on Grimaldo after he agreed terms as Shaw was playing really well in pre season.
Sent Rojo out on loan and opted to buy a youthful backup in Pelegrini but when I agreed to buy him I wasn't paying attention and didn't notice he'd join in July 20!
So a swift loan recall for Rojo and hoping Dalot will be ok if needed :P

Decided this year to make some time for FM as I've not played much of the last few years.
Picked up Man Utd because it's a good challenge to rebuild, especially for a Mancunian Man U fan
Like many other's I'm clearing out the dross (Matic & Young) and bringing in better!
Went for Bruno Fernandes & Sander Berge to revamp the middle and very pleasantly surprised by both, must recommend them.

haha such a nice turn of phrase and the images of Miles doing a #2 in someones slippers! :0

[FM20] Manchester United: Falling Giant...
in Good Player & Team Guide
Posted
Really enjoying the ManU project.
Season 1 was all about clearing out the deadwood, evaluating the squad & youth and steadying the ship.
S1 In
I decided that the current batch of midfielders were all surplus to requirements bar Pogba & McTommy
Bruno was the star of S1 putting Pogba to shame and he was head and shoulders above everyone else and really backed up the front 3 of Rashford, Martial & Greenwood with additional goals.
I went for Rice in the first window and got quoted 110m plus so decided against that and had practically written him off as a signing, then in Jan's window he threw a paddy about not being able to join, got himself transfer listed for £35m so I said "yes please"!
S1 Out
Which freed up a chunk of change (£94m)
Competitions
Pipped City to the league (tho they won the CL so I think the blue side of Manchester would be happy with that)
Played the kids in the Caribao and got knocked out away at Arsenal
FA Cup won against Bournemouth - which I usually struggle against
Europa got PSG in the final, but Mbappe and Neymar were both out injured which pretty much made my day as I secured another trophy.
Fernandes was a beast, so good that I'd struggle not to try and buy him at any club!
Season 2:
S2 In
I wanted a main striker, as whilst my forwards were ok for goals, none of them were clinical enough.
Liverpool sold Salah to RMadrid for £125m after i had flukely managed to keep hold of Pogba - had to promise to let him go if they bid £90m but instead they opted for Mo. Liverpool then went after Martinez and I decided that after his really good season with Inter (16 in 32) with 9 PoM's) he was the man for me.
S2 Out
Did the new contract thing with Sanchez but I think he's going to rot in the reserves because he's rejecting pretty much everything else.
Competitions:
Mid way through S2 and things are going well, Lauturo has taken the beast title from Bruno and made it his own - he's banging them in for fun as the spearhead of my 4-1-2-2-1 Wide tactic as a CF(a).
Pogba seems happy and signed a new contract - probably not worth the paper it's written on - happy to keep him but as he's still being overshadowed by Bruno if someone comes in with £100m+ he'll be going.
Jan window is about to open, and according to the press Liverpool are going for O. Dembele and Chelsea will be going for Mbappe.
I can't afford them both, but would like both in my team, I think I'Il prioritise Mbappe to give him a whirl depending on how the transfer window merry-go-round goes.
