Yeah, it is silly, isn't it?
The current level of United and our results isn't befitting players of that quality, but as far as stature as a club comes we are only behind RM and Barca.
I mean, yeah, that, but I’m also kinda tired of people over playing our current level and general “decline” as some sort of epic Shakespearean fall from grace. So far our disastrous post Fergie existence has seen us go a whopping 2 seasons without silverware (one if you include the annual North London Top 4 trophy), picking up both Domestic cups and a never before won European trophy (making us one of only 5 clubs to complete the set) and currently sees us 2nd in league position and goals scored only to a team half our fans seem prematurely ready to crown one of the greatest ever.
Even in a time of supposed unparalleled crisis, we’ve somehow managed to be the most successful English side of the last 4 years outside of the actual League winners, and still in the top 5 including them. As crisis’ go, it’s one any Liverpool, Arsenal or Tottenham fan would trade their own dick for. And even at our lowest did we have a season as bad as Chelsea in ‘16.
If anything, nothing proves the enduring elite status and ludicrously high standards of the club than the idea the last not-even-half decade of middling form and casual cup success has been some kind of mega brand damaging disaster. Paul Pogba left a serial league winning CL finalist as the World’s most expensive player to re-join a club worse off than when he left. In no way is he punching below his weight. Let alone Martial.
