Who is to blame for the decline of Manchester United? (Manchester United fans please come in!)

Manchester United's current poor performance is not just because Keane is old and the newcomers cannot hold up. In fact, Manchester United's decline began a few seasons ago, and the spirit of the team and the cohesion of the players are not as good as before. Ferguson's employment and tactics are also familiar to other Premier League teams. He has been working at Manchester United for 20 years, and his playing style and tactics are known to his opponents, and his players have also begun to be inactive. At that time, the Neville brothers, Ryan Giggs, The backbone players such as Beckham are now beginning to age, and it seems difficult for newcomers to make the player combination more harmonious. C. Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy are also in unstable form, and the team's bench depth is not enough. Substitutes like Solskjaer are now rare in the Manchester United team.

The strength of opponents has also strengthened. Needless to say, Chelsea and Liverpool are not the sick Red Devils back then. The overall level of the Premier League is rising. In fact, Manchester United's life is not particularly difficult at the moment. Except for Chelsea's deep pockets, there is no strong invincible force among other Premier League teams. Perhaps it is because Manchester United's results were so good and brilliant back then that it was difficult for fans to accept it. The current situation, maybe the difficulty is only temporary.
