“United is down,” headlines the Daily Mail. The Sun speaks of a “funeral”. It was “a mediocre performance at best.” Nothing but ‘disappointing’, says the Mirror. After the 0-1 defeat against Bayern, Manchester United’s exit in the preliminary round of the Champions League has been sealed. And so there is a huge rustling sound in the British leafy forest.
The time when the traditional English club competed for the European crown is long gone. This season they failed to leave FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray behind in the group and even missed the round of 16 of the Europa League.
The ex-stars are also tough against the Red Devils. “You get what you deserve,” says club legend Rio Ferdinand (45) on “TNT”. The former world-class defender speaks of ‘kamikaze football’ in view of the fifteen goals conceded in the six CL matches. His former United teammate Paul Scholes (49) saw “a very bad campaign”. “In some games they looked good but couldn’t hold a two-goal lead as time went on. And now you had the feeling that Bayern could have shifted up three or four gears if necessary.
Even in the domestic Premier League, United look anything but stylish. They recently suffered a 3-0 defeat to relegation candidate Bournemouth. Newcastle and Brighton are hot on their heels in sixth place.
It’s actually amazing: after all, there was still great hope in the summer. At that moment, all titles seemed within reach again, coach Erik ten Hag (53) seemed to have the place under control after a year in office. Third place in the Premier League and elimination from the Europa League in the quarter-finals against eventual winners FC Sevilla were impressive.
But now nothing works anymore, plus the sideshows with the arguments about Jadon Sancho, Antony (both 23) and Mason Greenwood (22), where ten Hag seemed anything but confident. The Dutchman’s luck could be that Ineos billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe (71) is about to move to Manchester United. That is why the club’s sports management could not take action, according to observers. But if he can’t turn things around, the air can quickly become thin. (Gentlemen)
