He’s having to rack them up in the group stage because we won’t get to the knockouts.

Yay, we’re least shit!

Having no identity to speak of as a club is a major issue- how does Manchester United want to play as a whole, and are the players and manager suitable for that?

We hang our hat on having young players come through and are immensely proud of it, but what kind of football are we teaching them, and is that uniform from youth level to the first team? The sooner United have an identity and plug in players who fit that the better; I’d sooner we know what we are and live or die by that than “Frankenstein” ourselves into being a team, which you’re absolutely spot on about.

Why can’t they just be appreciated for what they are? The narrative is that they need to be the next x or better than y, when they could just be enjoyed as the player they are, especially when the comparisons are often clumsy at best.
