Are we cursed?
Seriously. Its beyond a fkn joke. Yeah we came second and won a few minor trophies but since Sir Alex left we have been through sht. Literally everything that can go wrong has gone wrong.
1) Spend over a billion pounds and literally everyone turns to sht. Look at Chelsea. We all laughed at them but at least they got a few good players. Look at Cole. Even with complete incompetency you would think we would stumble upon at least one star player. From Pogba to Sancho to Antony to Ronaldo and on and on. They never become the players they should be. I guess Bruno has been the closest but even he is contentious and now turned to sht.
2) Weird sht like Greenwood. He should have been our star. Who could have foreseen that?
3) Players that are inconsistent. We can never have a player that plays well year in year out. Its just fkn impossible it seems. Casemiro was finally the DM we needed and then he turns to sht. I know players form changes but our players go from a 7/8 out of 10 season to a 4/10. It's unprecedented. Add Rashford to this and on and on.
4) Injuries. Yes everyone has injuries but we seem to have more than our fair share.
5) Managers - You think we could stumble upon at least one good one. Chelsea did Ok with Tuchel and now look like doing well under Maresca. Yeah its too early to tell. But literally all our managers have been less than we expected. They come in. Spend a load of cash then collapse. rinse and repeat. In 10 plus years we should have managed to get one good one. Liverpool managed it. Villa managed it. Bayern managed it. Barca managed it. Not us.
6) Top players just doing weird sht. Look at Dalot yesterday. Just didn't track back. That has nothing to do with form, with being tired, skill, wanting it. Why? If it was ust once then you just say ok that was odd. But its all the fkn time with United players and different ones. Either inexplicably losing the ball or the man or doing some other stupid sht. Yesterday we let a defender run through our team in the 3rd minute! Thats odd isnt it? Well not really it happened a few days ago against Twente. How many odd things must happen? Downing tools. Not wanting it enough. Keeper letting it in etc
I can go on and on. Everything always just turns to sht. How much faith has anyone have that a new manager or new players will change anything? Well yes they will have a good season maybe win a cup but I mean really change it where we are a top team challenging for the Prem and Champions league.
Is it possible we are just cursed.
