Shankland

If I were him I would be going to the manager and telling him I need to play in a team that will create chances for me.

The lad has the Euros coming up and he will be no-where near it if he is in our team with the current set-up. It pains me as we havent had a striker this good for a very long time.

I wont blame him if he leaves at all given our current approach.

And the club shouldn't hold him back.

We have not created enough chances for shanks.

Answer though is not to let him leave.

Shanks is loved here. The best for everyone is that he hits forms now and scores lots of goals before the end of the season

Starting with Hamilton where we will have chances and where shanks can shine

Don’t think the club will to be fair. But it’s about the team at the moment not an individual player, we seem to have stemmed the tide by giving away goals and the team are becoming a bit more confident. I hope over the coming weeks this confidence will see our midfielders start to play a bit more and that’ll create more opportunities for Shankland.

replying to LS:

thats simply not the case though. He has has zero chances of note in recent games.

Theres no reason to think that will change. He'll only score if we get the ball to him up the other end and we dont.

I'd be building my team around a talent like that and we just dont have the numbers.

What to do you want as a United supporter.

To encourage our best player for years to leave for way below his value??

At the moment we are adjusting to a new level and he has not been showing his true potential

his value will drop and drop in the current environment. I would love him to stay but he is wasted and if this is the way we play we are better cashing in and strengthening the squad in areas we need in order to make chances. This is the conundrum!

The suggestion in what you've just said is he's a luxury we can't afford and we'd be better getting there number for him. No thanks, when we start creating chances we know he'll score them.

thats not what I am saying. I'm saying I think unless we start creating chances for him he is going to ask to leave and I reckon that they will have an agreement to let him.

If they have an agreement to let him go for a certian offer and that offer comes in and he wants to leave then obviously he will leave.Until then think MM should be trying to get team to make more chances for him.

Can see what you mean by the conundrum.We have a striker who can score goals if he gets the chances but don't have the players or tactics to make the chances.So we can sell the striker and buy a couple of players to make the chances but then don't have the striker to take the chances we create.I am hoping now he has the defence sorted he starts to concentrate on making more chances at other end.
