Manchester United are indeed in difficult times and maybe this is where players are needed who have loyalty to play for the club.
I mean, even if you're a United fan from childhood, will you go there now when the priority for the owners is to cut losses and so on? It is certainly a difficult decision. If you managed to be part of the players who revolutionized United, you'll certainly be remembered for a long time, but if you don't, then it's another group of failed players who suddenly play horribly when they wear the United shirt. Besides, can you ask for loyalty if the club can't give you any guarantee about your future? Not to mention the money and other stuff like that.
