Don’t think it’s allowed to share to the page so I will inbox you.

So I ditched this and went with a slightly different idea. Instead with the real life results update, you can also have a different start date so I started the save just before this weekends Brentford game. With the idea of taking over Man Utd at the end of the season, picking up where ever we finish and rebuilding from there. Kind of predicting real life, if Ten Hag goes at the end of the season. So I holidayed until the end of the season and this is how the season finished. So 6th place means I'm taking over with no champions league football and will have to settle for the Europa league, but all adds to the fun. The summer is going well, I have managed to sell a few of the players I wanted to and wanted to keep it semi realistic with maybe 4-5 out and then 3-4 in, then I got this offer. I had a plan to keep Bruno for a season or 2 before potentially selling him, but Saudi have been sniffing round, at first they offered 50 mil up front, with 59 mil in installments which I rejected. They have now come back with this offer and I have just got to accept it, so this summer is going to be bigger than expected.

Finally decided to start my new Man Utd save. I did a save in the beta but this is going to be my proper Man Utd save. Started this save slightly differently though, I downloaded an update with the real life results, and decided to start in January. I decided to start in January for 2 reasons, there isn't many games in Jan so gives me time to sort staff, tactics etc. The other reason is we had just come off a terrible December in real life with these results, and were probably at our worst. So we start the save with us in 7th, 9 points off of top 4, so thought it would just bring a nice challenge at the beginning of the save and something a bit different. On the cups, the update can't replicate those, so we are still in the champs league. But to keep it semi realistic I am going to holiday those games to get knocked out, though we have Bayern so will probably lose anyway haha. Disabled the Jan window, but I am bringing in some staff. All of these I have used on previous saves and are great coaches, there are a couple more who I can't get at the moment so will finish my staff rebuild in the summer. The main focus on my save is I want to build the team around Mainoo, Garnacho, Hojlund, Amad plus one or 2 others like Lacey and Amass if they develop well. To start with I am just using a standard 4-2-3-1, but I want to build the team to my tactic from my last save which is this: So far have done 1 game which was the fa cup 3rd round against Middlesborough in which we won 5-2, with Garnacho, Amad and Mainoo all scoring.

Mainoo should have definitely had an upgrade. The club ownership should be interesting. Will have a look later, so am prepared to start my new Man Utd save in the next few weeks. Wasn’t happy with how my beta save went so this will be 2nd chance to build the squad.

I am. Started a save with Lyon did 4 seasons with them, then got the Juve job. Currently in my 4th season with Juve now.

I ended my previous Man Utd save after 4 seasons, as I messed the summer up and just wasn't happy with my team or the balance of the team. But with how bad we are doing in real life, am really tempted by the your world mode for another Man Utd save. Redo the whole summer, as Hojlund is the only summer signing I like, the others I think we could of definitely done better for the money spent. There would even be a temptation to sell Bruno and Rashford down the line, in fact the whole team bar Mainoo, Martinez and Garnacho .

So my Lyon save starts, I'm looking forward to the challenge, and a challenge it has been. I started with the 1st window disabled so I could work with what I had and gauge how bad this team was. Season 1 went as expected, we were terrible and very inconsistent but we just about scraped 7th place. We actually had the 2nd best defence in the league, but our problem was scoring goals, only scoring 45 goals in the league. This shows the problem, if Lacazette didn't score we struggled. But overall I was happy to get 7th, as I felt the europa conference would be a nice early trophy to try and win. The summer was very busy and we did alot of business in and out. We brought in a lot of young players to freshen the team up, and players we can build this team around or make big profit on. Season 2 was a another difficult one, in November we were in 11th and on the verge of the sack, but we managed to sort ourselves out and put in a good run until the end of season. So in the league, we managed to salvage 7th again. We were only 5 points off 4th, so its an improvement. Now I said I was happy to be in the conference league as I thought would be a good chance to win an early trophy. And we won it, so that's 1 trophy in the bag. Villarreal were the hardest team in the competition, and once we knocked them out I was confident of winning the final. The conference league also sums our season up, which was the opposite to season 1. This season we had no problem with scoring goals, but we couldn't stop conceding, zero clean sheets in the comp. I also looked and in 51 games we only kept 9 clean sheets. The unsung hero of this team and season was Alvero. In season 1 I didn't use him at all and was looking to sell, but no one was interested. So I kept him and re trained as a defensive winger on the right and what a season he had. Was our top scorer in the conference league, won player of the tournament and got an assist in the final. Our best players of the season were: Bardghji a great signing, Mainoo I used and developed on my Man Utd save and he's brilliant so no surprise how well he performed in the french league, and then obviously Alvero. So now onto season 3. We have a deal in place to sign De Vrij for free, he's now 33 but he's a quality CB and will do a job for 2 seasons. But my main focus is a new keeper, a RB and another midfielder. I would like to keep Mainoo but not sure will be possible. Sorry for the long post haha .

But with 9 technique and 10 first touch he’s not a very good ball playing CB for me. Also the anticipation, positioning and vision are all important and Keanu is better in all 3. Also has got better pace and is both footed so could play either side.

Keanu easily for me. He has much better mental's, and for a ball playing CB, has better technique and first touch.

So season 4 is done. First off we got an incredible player through the youth intake. Easily the best so far. He even got 2 sub appearances at the end of the season, scoring his first goal. Lets start with the cups. Carabao cup. We won the carabao cup for the 2nd year in a row. Also we have now faced Man city in 3 finals, winning all 3. We lost out in the quarter finals of both the FA cup and champs league, which meant we couldn't defend those titles. Now the league, the one trophy we hadn't won. We dominated the league from game 1, there was just no stopping us. We had the best defence and best attack. We are also currently 17 league games unbeaten, with our last defeat coming away to City on new years day. What made the league win even sweeter, was the game that clinched the title. Beating Liverpool at Old Trafford to clinch the title was such an incredible way to finally win the league. Hojlund ended the season as the top goal scorer with 21 league goals. Bruno won player of the year, while Mainoo won the young player of the year for the 2nd season in a row. So a league and cup double ended a brilliant season. Here were the player stats. Thuram as a defensive winger was just incredible, and had our highest average rating. Garnacho and Mainoo continue to do well and I was very happy with their contributions. Hojlund was much better overall this season, must of known I was looking at Evan Ferguson. So going into the summer for season 5, I don't think I'm going to do much business. Johnstone will leave on a free, so will need a new back up RB. Wan Bissaka wants to leave and Toney will be sold. I am a little torn whether to buy Ferguson, or give Van Persie more of an opportunity along with Denner.

I have trained Khephren Thuram as a defensive winger, and he's now 3 stars in that position (if you take any notice of the stars) and was the best player in terms of average rating for the season. As long as you give them plenty of game time in that position/role then they will quickly adapt.

So after that incredible 3rd season, we move into season 4 and this is how the summer went. It was a quiet window, with a couple of the young players leaving who just didn't quite cut it in Gore, Hannibal and Jackson. Mount also left, just never really fitted in. Hincapie came in to replace Shaw, who wanted to leave for a new challenge, however Shaw has stayed so Hincapie is just an all round back up defender. Thuram is a player I really like on fm, he went to Bayern and barely played so I took my chance and had to get him. My plan was to buy Evan Ferguson, but as Toney and Hojlund both had great seasons last season, I decided to hold off on that plan with the view of buying him for season 5. I had been using a standard 4-2-3-1, but I've decided to change it up. On fm23 I created a tactic and trained Thuram as a defensive winger and it worked incredibly well, so with him joining me again I thought I would do it again on fm24. Before I had the DW on the left, but with Rashford, Garnacho and Fati more suited to the left, I put the DW on the right for this version. And well it has been working incredibly well. Thuram is doing just as well as he did on fm 23, with 5 goals and 3 assists in 11 games, and an average rating of 7.46. We have been excellent, with only really the most recent game against Brighton our worst performance. Considering how well we have started you would think we would be top of the league, but no Man City have won 7 out of 7. Though I kind of wished I had got Ferguson now, as Toney has only 1 goal so far this season, and though Hojlund has 6 goals, he got sent off against Brighton. Still I have made him my no 1 target and we are constantly scouting him. My next game is Man City, and with Hojlund suspended I'm seriously considering using Van Persie as my striker, give him a chance.

Season 3 is over and its been a long hard season, as we got to the final of every cup so played the maximum amount of games we could. But how many trophies could we win? So lets do it in order and start with the carabao cup. Trophy number 1 in the bag, we dominated the final and 2 goals in 3 minutes helped us on our way. Now the league. It was between us and City the whole season, but we just couldn't keep up with them, up until 7 games to go they had only lost 1. Haaland dominated the league with 36 goals and Ederson kept 23 clean sheets. We lost both games against them as well. So 3 seasons in and we are yet to win the league, which is frustrating but when City get 99 points, there not alot I can do. Mainoo did win the young player of the year though. Now on to the FA cup. It was us and City again, playing each other in the final. It was a tight game, then when Wan Bissaka got sent off, I feared the worse. I then brought Kayode on, and with the game looking like it was going into extra time, the sub Kayode was the hero with a 96th min winner, absolutely incredible way to beat our rivals. So 2 trophies in the bag now, with 1 final left. The champions league final against Arsenal. We had a tough run to the final beating PSG, Barcelona and Milan to get to the final. We did it!!!! We secured the big one, beating Arsenal in extra time, with 2 subs in Garnacho and Toney getting the goal. So after a trophyless season 2, a treble of cups wins finishes off an incredible 3rd season. As I said 3 seasons in and we still haven't won the league, but to win every cup competition and finish the season with a treble was great. Here are the player stats for the season. Hojlund and Toney both with over 20 goals, and 5 players in double figures in total is an improvement of previous seasons. Fati had a good first season for us. Garnacho continues to get the best average rating for us, would just like abit more output from him. Kayode back from his loan had a great season, and Wan Bissaka was a good back up to him and they were definitely outperforming the left hand side. Shaw had a poor season, while though Ito had a good average rating his output was nowhere near Kayode's. Hansen-Aaroen had a good breakout season, and will definitely keep him and continue to give him game time. Mainoo with another impressive season. However 2 of the younger players in Hannibal and Gore just hadn't developed and spent the 2nd half of the season on loan and will both probably be sold. So now onto season 4, and I want that league title. Shaw wants to leave for a new challenge, and with the LB position not performing as well as the RB, we will need a new LB. I'm also looking at Evan Ferguson, he has been unreal for Brighton, and though Toney and Hojlund have been good I need someone that can push on and get 30-40 goals to match Haaland. Mount will be sold as I barely used him this season. Maguire's contract will be up and he will leave on a free, he's been a good servant for me and performed well but now is the time for him to go.

That’s a mental summer in and out . Bellingham looks insane on this years game, he is smashing it for Madrid in my save, so be interesting to see how he does for you.

I sold Lindelof after the first season and Evans stuck around until he retired purely as he’s a model citizen. I have brought in Tapsoba and Diomande for my CB, with Diomande at the moment preferred to partner Martinez.
