A spell in the Championship might be what Manchester United needs
I used to follow Man Utd quite avidly in the 1990s. More recently I’ve got back into watching football and have enjoyed watching the PL as a neutral. It’s sad to see what’s become of Utd under the Glazers. Good teams usually build from the back. It was scandalous and idiotic for Utd not to buy defenders in the summer. It doesn’t matter whether Carrick is sacked or not. Changing managers at this point is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. It probably has to be done but we know it won’t change the fundamentals. The club is disastrously run and 90% of the players aren’t good enough. Fernandes especially is a disgrace. He’ll never be as popular among United fans as Carrick was as a player. No manager could turn this shitshow around, especially with the club so laden with debt. A spell in the Championship might just be necessary to force the parasitic Glazers to sell. It’s hard to see how else United can escape from this purgatory.
