I see very high similarities with our Estonian national team atm. We are also in a limbo where we brought in a foreign manager who was known for a style and let him implement it for our needs. It worked til some point - then the key players who are like 36, 39 etc can't cut it anymore. So instead of changing the whole system bring in more youth players who are showing promise etc. We have regressed so badly that we ended up losing 2 games back to back 0-5 vs Sweden at home and Belgium away now. And then losing a vital game vs Azerbaijan and appearing absolutely toothless.

United brought in Erik Ten Hag who was praised for his work in Ajax, and built a solid young side that isn't afraid of anyone - but all that happened with a base of strong Ajax DNA, with the people filled in the DOF etc position who are on the same wavelength with him and help on the way.

United had a Ronaldo problem - then scrambled for additions in with the winter market, but somehow made it work and got 3rd. OK came summer, the vital point is to add the key pieces in and asses your younger players who can cut it and who doesn't. Identified Kobbe Mainno & Amad as the main youngsters to bring in and build on them. Also, Garnacho was signed for the long term.

Then things happened and the whole club sale stalled and is still a mess. Then became an insane injury to the young players, to vital first-team players at some point there were like 10 players out?

On the side also Antony's problems, Jadon Sancho stopped caring about football if he ever did and it's a massive issue. The injuries still linger and left the defense very very badly formed. English Premier League is ruthless in that case, why we have seen Leicester relegated, Chelsea not making the top 10, and Liverpool & United & Arsenal & Tottenham all struggling at some points.

United has to be ruthless, whether to give 100% backing to Erik, let him build a side on the side of a new DOF who knows football etc. Or leave it and admit it's a mistake and it's a completely different type of wilderness, the Ole'ball or United DNA ball whatever you called it, it doesn't work to win big things atm. Breaking down a low block is a vital skill to get and make your site work on.

They really are in big trouble, the entitled fan base are now doubting the manager and recent history shows that once this starts it usually end one way. They are £800 million in debt and any new manager coming in will want to bring in their own players, they cant afford this due to the mess they are in. And who makes the call on Ten Haag? is it the Glazers or is it Ratcliffe? how can either make the call until the deal is agreed.

This is a club who have spunked over £150 million on Sancho and Anthony and neither seem to have a long term future at the club. Fernandez is a complete bellend, Cassemerio is on his last legs, Rashford doesn't care now he has his contract, Martial and Varane are a pair of crocks, They wanted shot of MaGuire and McTomminay at the start of the season, their best midfielder has a pacemaker fitted. Shaw is a fat cnut, Martinez is overhyped. Jonny fucking Evans has come back and DeGea may be next.

Fooking shambles of a club.
