United is just rotten to the core and I think part of it lies with Fergussons culture. As good as he was and what he won he had total control top to bottom and had was hard on his players.
It worked for him but impossible to carry on. As soon as he left the club didn't know how to function. Before him United were a fairly small club and its looking after him they are declining. Over taken by City, as biggest club in Manchester. Liverpool now the most decorated English club in history.
United need to humble themselves. Stop spending all this money. Go sign hungry kids. If they go down to league one so be it. If they are a club that deserves to be in the prem they will climb back up. if not they can stay at that level.
They don't know how to actually run the club without Fergusson there and its been evident since he left. No manager will be successful, Players go there for the salary and then don't give a fuck. Sancho, Mount, Fernandez, martial, etc etc all dogwater
They need to go back down and start again from ground 0 imo. Then the club can actually build some form of culture and understanding. Not just trying to grasp onto the past. Fergusson ran the club for Fergusson united not man united. He left a finished aged team after one last run who were cooked.
Prems at a crossroads. They are either gonna have to punish City and Chelsea or breakaway will happen.
Why should most of the teams have to watch City cheat their way to success?
Just leave make a new one just like the prem did from league one back in the day.
