Man united 1 -1 Burnley. It just gets worse.
Another miserable night for United.
Different pitch, different manager, different players..... It doesn't seem to matter. Things have just never been the same since Fergie left.
It doesn't seems to matter how much money and talent are on the pitch for United but they have lost something. Sure they are still chasing Europe in a tough league.
Sure, they manage a big victory every so often but that is besides the point. The FA cup this week should have been a walk over of a match. Won by 3 or 4 goals easily. From watching it, they should have but instead got knocked out by an average middlesborough on penalties. Sure, the goal should have been dissallowed for handball but that is besides the point. United had 5tons of great chances to win that game long before Middlesborough scored.
The same could be said for last night. It was an exciting game to watch with lots of effort on both sides but no quality. THat's just sad to see for United who had hundreds of millions of attacking talent on that pitch alone.
Will they ever get it back?
It's hard to say. At this stage United are a big european team in name alone instead of actions. Nobody would be afraid to draw them in th echampions league and a lot would hope to.
With that said, a lot of the big teams from the 70's and 80's took a dive at some stage but most made it back up over time. The name is big enough to bring in the money and they stars. Monbey buys success and wirth enough time they should get back to winning ways again.
The only problem is the lenght of time it takes to get there and even longer to build up an aura of fear again around the team. That wont happen overnight and could be decades before the next revival.
They have the players for the most part and a serious academy so in theiry it should happen at some stage.
It's just painful watching until a time where we can enjoy some success again.
I would hope to see it sooner than that with names like Pogba, Ronaldo, Rashford, Sancho, Cavani, Fernandes in their front line but that is obviously not enough.
Can you imagine that it has been almost a decade since Fergie left? The team has not been same since he left. I am not sure what will bring the team back to their previous glory. They need to rewrite history and need to go back to the basics of football to refresh themselves.
Unfortunately they keep doing repair jobs and patching what needs to be fixed. Just because you have big name sit doesn't make a team. 31 goals conceded makes them a mid table team at best. They keep talking about rebuilding but the same players are still there and what has been added is not quality. The club is going backwards and will take another 5 years if they take rebuilding seriously. You have a couple of keepers to build from and the rest should be shown the door. The teams big hope is Ronaldo at 37 which tells you everything about the squad. If you look at the table this year I think it is a fair reflection as both Arsenal and Spurs should move ahead of them with their games in hand. Every team in the Premier League sees it as points dropped if they lose to United which is a different story from 10 years ago.

My own team (Arsenal) is not any better but it beats my imagination when Man U fans troll Arsenal . These two heavyweights in name have lost their mojo for such a long time.
