The situation at Milan is very similar to Man Utd, both fallen giants so far away from their glory days. Football goes in cycles though, Im confident theyll both return to glory one day. It might take 10-15 years but theyll both be back.
I don't think that Milan and Man Utd are on the same situation.
Milan is lacking both players and a talented manager. In other words they need to rebuild the team from the beginning.
Man Utd has a lot of skilled players and a good manager, but still they are unable to get results.
I don't think Manager Man United is currently good. Ole did not give good results, the same was true for AC Milan. That the coach Marco Giampaolo can't do much for AC Milan. Therefore Ac milan took the best way forward by changing the coach.
This is meant by Ac milan and Man United have the same bad conditions in their respective league.
That's exaclty what I am pointing out.
Manchester United has good players but a bad manager. On the other hand, Milan lacks not only of good players but also of a good manager. I am not sure if Pioli is going to be a success for Milan. But before judging I have to give him time and work on the team building.
