As Manchester United fans, we need to embrace reality and be honest with ourselves. Instead of responding with insults when someone speaks the truth, we should acknowledge the issues within the club. Over the years, the board has consistently hired managers who are average, out of touch, and rely on outdated methods, yet they expect top results. That’s simply not possible.
Players like Maguire and others who are not performing should have been sold long ago, but they remain in the squad, and we expect to play at the level of teams like Real Madrid? Absolutely not. Sancho is being pushed out because the manager considers him lazy, but we have equally underperforming players like Rashford who, even when out of shape, still get chances. Some players in the team have flopped, but if you dare to criticize them, you’re met with insults from fans. We win one game, and it’s as if all our problems have been solved, but when we lose two consecutive matches, reality hits us hard.
The fact is, when the fundamentals are weak, reality will always expose you, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing now. Erik ten Hag’s appointment, along with his contract extension, was a mistake, and the players he’s brought in are not strong enough to help us reclaim the Champions League. At best, we can hope to qualify, but even then, lesser teams in Europe will beat us and send us packing.
It’s time to face the facts, be critical of ourselves, and accept the reality, rather than pretending everything is fine. Loving Manchester United means acknowledging when things are wrong and pushing for change—not silencing those who speak out.
Glory, Glory Man United!
