They will have to be patient with Ten Hag, it’s gonna get a lot worse than this before it gets better. They can’t believe they will be in any shape to challenge for the foreseeable and they are in a scrap with Arsenal and Spurs once again for top four who are a lot further forward with both their rebuilds.
Yep. It's going to take a good few years before they can start thinking in terms of challenging for the Prem. For almost the whole of last season it seemed to me that they were winging it, making it up as they go along. Most of their players looked disinterested, bored: Like they didn't want to be there. The odd victories here and there were more fortuitous than planned, and when the nodding lapdog was given the boot and Ralfie came along they went into free-fall. And in order to reverse that free fall it is going to cost billions of pounds - money they just haven't got.

They are going to have to find a man who is up to the challenge, a man who can mould the individuals into one, a shoulders-to-the-grindstone man who must be given time (and lots of it) to turn things round.

Ten-Bob, with all the best will in the world, is definitely not that man.

It’s a long way in the wilderness for them, they are coming up to a decade since they last won a league. Arsenal haven’t won one since 2004, Liverpool have managed one in 32 years. These are the most decorated teams in English football yet their records show them as yesterdays men.

Could United potentially go as long as they did between Busby and Ferguson without winning a league?

The penny is starting to drop for these 'history' clubs that it counts for absolutely nothing on the pitch.
