All this “United belong in Top 4” talk is doing my nut in.
United do not belong in Top 4. They belong
First. That’s where we’ve always been. Right now, we’re not getting that any time soon. We don’t have the quality in the squad and our standards have obviously dropped because we’ve gave that “quality” shiny new contracts that keeps them here till 2022.
I’m talking about Smalling, Jones and Shaw Incase you haven’t figured it out. Can’t forget our captain and first name on the team sheet Ashley Young either
It’s depressing to see what we’ve become. But it’s time for everyone to cop on. Fans included. 4th isn’t good enough for us. It never was. The bigger picture is to feck the game against City, miss Champions League, most importantly DON’T AWARD THE TITLE TO THE SCOUSERS*** and build from there. It might take a few years but it’s obviously what’s required.
We’re not winning the CL anytime soon anyway. We got absolutely spanked by Barcelona. It was embarrassing to see the difference in quality on that pitch. What happens if we get Top 4? We get to see it all again? No fecking thank you. Missing the CL is the only wake up call this board will ever get. Without it, we signed big players like Pogba, Zlatan, Di Maria and Falcao. Sure they all didn’t work out but it was a hell of a lot more ambitious than signing Lee Grant, Fred and Dalot wasn’t it?
If we finished 7th and missed Europa League, I wouldn’t even be bothered. We’re too big of a club for that too.
Play the kids in the remaining 4 games and wherever we finish, we finish. It’s over.
