Time travel. 24 years ago, United were beaten 3-1 on the opening day of the 1995-1996 season.
Alan Hansen came out with the immortal line ‘You can’t win anything with kids!’
Back to the future, history seems to be repeating itself - sort of...
But, this is a different game of football these days. This is a different business these days. These are not the same class of players.
Or could they be?
I personally thought we were very unlucky vs Palace and 99 times out of 100, we would have won that game. Ditto the Wolves game. Poor refereeing exacerbated the situation.
I hope in my heart of hearts, that we can have a modern day version of 1995. But is that even possible on the un-level playing field of today.
Next game vs Southampton will be make or break.
I understand the point of getting a squad of hungry young players, especially after the bloated past few years. But are we even in the same universe?
Triumph or disaster?
