Surely you may as well just not bother watching the games then? Just head down into Manchester city centre and follows the bus parade and join in the celebrations? I mean, I'm being a little sarcy but I genuinely can't understand why anybody would watch football solely to win. Getting battered every week wouldn't be very fun either, but the whole purpose of watching football is to be entertained and have a bit of fun with the people you're watching it with.
If all football games were like United-Sevilla then I'd wrap it in all together and stick to watching other sports.
The point is to win, and big clubs have to do it. No one cares when teams win with negative tactics, or if they do, they should think about whether or not they understand what the purpose of the game is: when you support a club, you want them to win, and nothing more. Any stylistic or ideological concerns are secondary to winning, if that winning is consistent. You could probably find examples where clubs have had their ethos changed and continued with something they were hesitant about at the beginning because it achieved results.
So starting from a low base where playing both great football (we didn't have great players) and getting results (this is where pragmatism comes in) wasn't feasible. This was something noted by LvG early on in his tenure and by Jose immediately. The standard of the squad was dire. LvG didn't help much as the players he bought fit his system but he wasn't able to make his system a winning system. I think that Jose steadying the ship has required more pragmatism than usual in order to get results, and, Sevilla aside, we have had very good results with him so far. We've played a mixture of very good football and very negative and boring football. About 30/70 throughout the season so far I'd say.
Still, I think we're a season away from being a Jose team (or to finding out if Jose can make his system a winning system, unlike van Gaal, to seeing whether or not that is still possible and if Jose is the right man for the job). If he does bring us up a level to something resembling his best Inter and Real sides, then we won't have boring football as his best teams weren't boring, though they could be pragmatic in big games.
