    I think half of this is expectation management. They were never going to be the team that Fergie had, getting top two every season as at least an aim.

    Now they just need to aim for Top 4/5 and rebuild internally. Come back stronger. They have the image and the brand and the fans globally that will follow them whatever. Stop trying to be a Fergie team and be a new age club with good values and go from there.

    They really need new owners for a start who actually care about the stadium and the club. They don’t need money thrown at them, but someone who cares about football.

    make the team more militaristic. pogba ruined ur team’s mentality. fergie used to even disallow colorful boots. start from the smallest things. stop buying cocky young players without having macho seniors like rio or vidic that will shut them up instantly. i highly doubt CR would have been successful under todays man u.

    How many times are we gonna keep listening this same shit every other year? You know the outcome. The manager gets the sack. You get Pep in, You get Klopp. Sack in the 2nd year because he’s clueless while players eating good.

    United have a culture problem. They overpay and spoil players who rest on their laurels.

    It’s pretty crazy really, they’re basically what Liverpool were in the 90s with the Spice Boys etc

    10 years same story every year with new managers and players every year. After this long players and managers might not be the problem the owners are the problem

    As an Arsenal fan, get rid of all the dead wood, and rebuild. Get rid of Martial, Rashford. Get rid of Bruno (terrible attitude petulant child when things dont go his way). Get rid of Antony, Maguire and Shaw. Players that have been with the team too long and have suffered, like Martial, Rashford, Maguire, don’t have the right mentality and attitude. The same problem existed for many years at Arsenal, players that had struggled for a while kept the attitude of the team stagnant, like Ozil, Bellerin, Walcott.

    Would any of these dull ex united pundits have a media career if united weren’t so shit since Fergie left? It doesn’t look they’d have any content without the weekly bashing. It’s the same for Neville, Keane, Scholes etc they really need to show some originality soon.

    I feel like having a clear style of play is so important, that can then drive your recruitment and even if you are not getting the results currently, you can still have faith in the process as long as you can see some progress.

    United have no direction, I know Ten Hag says they are following a plan but I dont think any United fan can tell us that plan. They allowed De Gea to leave for a ball playing GK but dont play out of the back, they bought Ambarat whos not really a ball playing DM, he keeps benching Varane. Feels like he’s sacking himself

    The manU attacking players (except for bruno) are disgraceful. The midfield tried their best but they are just not athletic enough. ManU defense wasn’t bad
