I think the problem is a combination of poor recruitment, mismanagement and expectations. Some of this started well before Ferguson left. It was no secret that United's squad was reliant on long term servants of the club. Ferdinand, Vidic, Scholes, Giggs... all left along with Fergie and David Gill. Transfer windows have seen some truly large amounts of cash squandered. The club ethos and indentiy has been effectively abandoned with the sacking of Moyes after less than a year and LVG on the day he won the FA cup. Then they appoint Mourinho would is everything United isn't in terms of bringing through youth and playing attacking football. The whole atmosphere around the club is very negative and they get more than their fair share of abuse from opposition fans. What compounds this is the level of expectation around the club and the disgruntled fanbase. There is something rotten with the club and throwing money at it is not going to fix the problem. For a team called Manchester United they are far from united right now.

This

Their big problem for me is that they go out and blow big money on the latest fad player. No thought about the "team" or how those players fit in.

I mock spurs...a lot, but they have got the "team" philosophy spot on. Compare Deli and Pogba, i know which one i would like and he never played for Juve! Utd should look not necessarily for the big players but for the RIGHT players, there is a big difference.

Another point is the age and energy in their team. Rooney, Mata, Felaini, Schneiderlin, Blind, Ibra, Carrick they are all so slow, its ok having 1 or 2 but they have too many imo and it shows.

Mind you, long may it continue, joking aside they have big problems, these players they have are behind there rivals in terms of movement and understanding.

But seriously they spent and wasted so much energy against us, what was it 35 percent possession? that would eventually bite you in the a $$ when they were aging 3 games in like 7 days. I was ot surprised at all today they looked ragged.

We did all the work for Chelsea to land the sucker-punch....

Hardly any energy expended at all last Monday. Or all season tbh. United are bottom or so of the 'distance run' table. Now over the course of the season this might be planned to keep the players fresh, but on an individual match basis, you need to put in enough effort to get something out.

Today wasn't about being tired through too many games, plenty didn't play 90mins in midweek, today was probably down to a lack of prep time.

Seriously it's like souness all over again. Utds fall has been nothing short of amazing.

They've been behind the 8 ball constantly.

Moyes was an awful choice.
Van Gaal was retiring
Mourinho has dropped off and failed at Chelsea badly.

They should have been getting the best hungry man out there like klopp, simeone, Pochettino etc etc... they better get it right next time.

Who cares 😄

Yeah, Jose was a worthy risk and United had pretty much no choice anyway. Its unfortunate for them and fortunate for us that it's not working out so far.

Furthermore, apparently Jose has a so-so first season at every new club. 2nd season is boom and 3rd season is bust.

I think Jose will get next season as well even if they are poor this season (unless they are in a relegation scrap lol). If he still fails and gets the sack then he's finished (unless someone like Spurs take him after losing Poch to United )

This is what happens when you let a agent decide who the club should buy.
