The demise of Manchester United

I actually love Man U in top 4 position, so they will keep Ole and their majority of the players. They will never challenge us.

I still wouldn't want them in the top 4 of League 2 to be honest. The further down they go, the better.
They're a money making machine unfortunately and the less chance they have in cups and the CL places the better.
I wouldn't want them to win a bingo raffle.

They have the potential (financial side of things) to be the Bayern Munich of this League of they can get their acts together on the pitch and fulfil their full potential off it. If they had better owners than the Glazers they could be really dangerous, so I hope the Glazers are there for years.

Haven't won the League since 10/11. In a social media age I think (much as I don't understand it) a lot of kids are more fickle about which team they support (almost supporting players more, some of them) and a 12-year old kid won't be old enough to remember a United League win or Fergie as a Manager even if they're old enough to have been alive.

The longer that period of time passes, the better. The current generation (that doesn't remember a successful United) growing up and having kids that DON'T have "Glory Glory Man United" playing on their alarm clocks in the Morning is definitely good for us.

Hope Ole is there for years. He's hardly a "character" in any sense of the word. I used to remember hanging on every word Benitez said and I am the same with Klopp. I doubt anyone is inspired by Ole at all beyond some devout '92-'99 era fans of the Mancs.

Starting to think they're more of a threat than city tbh

City, there's something up there, they're just not right

Not been for a while, not sure if it's the balance of the squad, egos or what.

They actually last won it in 12/13, but your point stands.

**ianlfc** · 22nd December 2020, 03:05 PM

It's up to us to make sure they don't win it then.

Ole's at the wheel.

Ole is shit lets be honest but a covid season has brought em closer.

He could win it for em but lets hope not if we slide hopefully City do enough I can take that even though they are dirty.

Ole and their midfield is where the flaws are.

Their attack is pacey, Fernandes makes them tick, Rashford can get 20 in a season (though still isn't quite clinical enough for me to be in the TOP bracket) and Cavani knows where the net is because, Autumn of his career or not, he's a top player.

Maguire isn't a brilliant centre-back, but they defend fairly well as a unit and have a keeper who is good when in form.

If they want to go up a level they need a better Manager and they need to sort that midfield out. Top Four certainly looks very feasible (does for anyone in 1st-9th though, too early to call) and a top midfield signing would lift them a lot.

They're certainly benefitting from teams around them being in transition.
