The fact Utd fans are complaining about "VAR being corrupt" for exposing the sort of decisions their club got away with all the time, in the 2000's especially, speaks volumes about their levels of delusion.

Because apparently, exposing their cheating behaviour is bad.

The Rags have a team full of lazy, defiant, over rated fuckers so why has Sancho been singled out. I just don’t get what he could have done that’s so bad when compared to what we see.

It does make you wonder if there's more to it, his extended break in Holland for supposed "mental health" reasons looks ever more dubious.

Why was EtH willing to be so supportive and understanding of someone with supposedly "mental health" issues back then yet now he's prepared to humiliate and vilify him, it makes no sense.

It's the kind of decisions that they STILL get away with and always go in their favour even now in the PL... it's only in European competition that they get to see what it's like for other teams, having to accept the vagaries and inconsistency of VAR.
 
Think they're finished at the top level under this regime. And it's not just about money. They spend fucking loads of money - on managers, on the team and players. But the culture at the club is rotten and that kind of malaise is really hard to turn around once it's set in. You only have to look at the Greenwood and Anthony fiascos and how they were handled; what happened with Ronaldo and De Gea before they left the club and what will inevitably happen with Sancho; the stadium rotting from the inside with leaky roofs and clogged drains; under-performing members of staff (from the first team to the backroom staff and board of governors) taking home huge salaries for poor work. There's no real drive at the club, no willingness to really reach the elite again. They're still going to be good enough to finish in the top half of the Premier League every season, occasionally finishing in the European spots and making it to the last rounds of different cup competitions - but being good enough to win titles year on year, to really claim back their reputation as the top dogs in Manchester, sorry but that chance has gone. They will inevitably climb back above City at some point in the future, maybe 10 or 20 or even 30 years from now (who would have thought during the 90s that we'd one day be the best team in Manchester?), but not under the Glazers, and even if Ratcliffe gets full control he'll need to completely transform the club. I think the realisation has really set in since their 3-1 defeat at Arsenal that this is just it for them for the foreseeable. 4th-8th in the Premier League, maybe a run at the domestic cups if the draws fall right, maybe a run at the Europa League every few years. It's not a bad life, and proper Reds will understand that - those that followed them in the 70s will still go and sing like they always have - but their armchair fans will give up on them and the army of "700 million supporters worldwide" will dwindle and drift back over to Madrid, Barca, PSG, etc. and City and Newcastle as the order changes. I once predicted in 2014, mostly as a joke, that we'd win our 20th league title before they claimed their 21st. Looks like that will happen now.
