But few years ago, one of your legends came out and talked about Manchester United's problems which was centered on the club's management but most Manchester United fans blasted him instead called him all sorts of names as if they love the club more than him. He left the club came back after 13 or 14 years later and the club was still the same way it was when he left. Meaning that the club management made little or no improvement.
Manchester United's problems is goes beyond players and coaches alone.
Yes there is no one on earth who absolutely doesn’t know that Manchester United Started having problems since the inception of the Glazers and this was definitely widely known that even Ferguson actually did hear his view about. I see many people actually throwing the Ronaldo debate into every Manchester United crisis even if what is said was the truth Ronaldo only later said all of these after a fallout with the then Manager Erik Ten Hag, they were never interviews of him that I know where he called the club out before that incidence with Ten Hag. He decided to say that in a public interview after the club had actually stood with their manager during the crisis. It might have been sad for the fans to lose someone like Ronaldo but there is no one bigger than the club no matter it’s difficult state, Ferguson who was well respected instilled that principle and the club stood by it. The club management are still bad but it still doesn’t justify anything with what Ronaldo said
Their squad depth is not as good as before - especially in defence. Savinho is not very good as a winger - while City also lack balance in midfield without a good defensive midfielder. Pep Guardiola can't force De Bruyne to perform like he used to - Foden isn't at his best either. Haaland was less than optimal due to a lack of creativity on the wings and midfield - so everything changed compared to the previous season.
As they say not everything stays as the same, Manchester city dominated the English football for the past six years with almost same players so I am not quite surprised to see them actually playing this way afterwards because there is certainly no reason that things will stay the same. The players mostly are suffering from fatigue and the wearing of this is telling on the pitch. Next transfer I think Manchester City will have a very long list of departures and arrivals to actually get back to winning ways
