For many seasons, Manchester United has been in total decay. While some fans of the Red Devils explain that the most titled club in England lost its yesteryear following the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013, it is clear that the Mancunian evils go from bad to worse. This season, the Old Trafford resident crisis has surely reached its acme. Fourteorzisms of the Premier League, the teammates of Bruno Fernandes are going through one of the worst seasons in the club's recent history and a happy outcome to this season would only pass a coronation in the Europa League. A goal that seems to be hard to achieve so much the players in red are sorely lacking in certainties this season.
The strong release of Jim Ratcliffe on the Manchester United staff
One of the reasons for this decline is surely casting errors on the various Mercatos operated by Mancunian leaders. In addition to coaches who disappointed as Erik Ten Hag recently, several players have completely lost their football by putting their suitcases in northern England. Jadon Sancho, Casemiro, Romelu Lukaku or even more recently Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund, the examples swarm and prove this conjecture. Taxed from a player cemetery, United cannot make all these expensive purchases profitable. An observation that Jim Ratcliffe also makes. In a long interview with Bbcthe president of the Mancunian training had strong remarks and simply attested that several club players did not have the expected level:
“If you look at the players we buy this summer, those we have not bought, we buy Antony, we buy Casemiro, we buy Onana, we buy Hojlund, we buy Sancho. These are all things from the past, whether we wanted it or not, we have inherited these things and we have to settle this. For Sancho, who now plays for Chelsea and of which we pay half the salary, we pay 17 million pounds sterling to buy it this summer. Some are not good enough and some are probably overpayed, but so that we can shape the team for which we are fully responsible and liable, it will take time. We are going through a period of transformation where we go from the past to the future. ”
Jim Ratcliffe believes in Ruben Amorim to get a first League in three years
Shocking words that may well cause a lot of ink to flow on the other side of the English Channel. Although the English billionaire is surely right, this outing should also make the teeth cringe many elements of the workforce of Ruben Amorim. The latter is, despite the criticisms, not threatened. This is in any case what the owner of the Manchester club said on Monday saying that the Portuguese coach, who arrived in the middle of the season, must deal with a light workforce: “If I really look at the team to which Ruben has access, I think he is doing a very good job, to be honest. I think Ruben is an exceptional young manager. I really think. He is an excellent manager and I think he will stay there for a long time. You start to have an overview of what Ruben can produce. I think you had an overview against Arsenal. How many players on the bench against Arsenal have you recognized? How much have already worn a Manchester United jersey for (the first team) … because there is no more team. We are reduced to the last 10 or 11 players of the first team. Ruben does a great job. “
Despite these complimentary remarks, Ruben Amorim is nonetheless criticized in England. Recently taken from the fly for having explained that he thought he was able to bring back a first League in Manchester United in the coming years, the Portuguese coach does not give up. And obviously, his optimism is contagious in Manchester because even Jim Ratcliffe believes in this title in the coming years: “I don't think it's an impossible mission. I think it's good to have goals and goals. If you look at Arsenal, if you look at Liverpool, if you look at the time it took them to put their business in order and find their way to victory, it's probably a bit short. But it is not impossible. The club will finish in a very different place in three years from where it was in the past, in my opinion. I think it will be the most profitable club in the world. I think we could end up having the most emblematic football stadium in the world and I think we will end up winning titles again.One thing is certain: the workforce of Manchester United should experience a great upheaval in the coming months following these inflamed statements.
