What's The Colour Of The Problem?

I grew up supporting **Manchester United** and everyone who knew how this team was back then would tell you that they would do anything to grind our results. They were used to scoring late goals and they have given so much fear into the hearts of their oppositions back then. You would want to underestimate them at your peril. You can't ever underestimate them because they knew how to keep you on your toes. They had flair, they had talents combined with physicality. They can pull transfers out of the hatch and every player wants to play for them. They knew how to blend their youth with their starting 11 and also knew how to make use of their aged players which explains the longevity of **Ryan Giggs** and **Paul Scholes**, even with the likes of **Nemanja Vidic**, **Patrice Evra**, **Rio Ferdinand** and **Wes Brown**. They had emerging players too and even an average player would look like a world-class player when they are with Manchester United especially the likes of **Anderson**, **Rafael**, **Fabio**, **Obertan** and others. You would gladly wear your jersey to let everyone know that you supported **Manchester United**. Oh! What glory days they were back then. How quickly the fortune of this team has changed and it aches my heart to see the current crop of players not putting in their shift. It's about money now for modern-day players and football isn't what it used to be. It's quite sad, I must say. I don't even understand the colour of the problem **Manchester United** is facing at the moment. They have been terrible ever since **Sir Alex Ferguson** left the reigns. He patched up the team in the last season of his retirement and I think the fear factor was still there even at that because of his influence and the moment that figure left, everything came crumbling and we could see United for who they are. A club that is now more focused on the marketing aspect of things other than the sporting aspect. They seem to have fallen off the wagon and living on past glory. They seem to think they can pull the weight as of old forgetting that they have to work twice as hard right now. I can't say the major thing that is wrong with this club because several managers have come and gone and many players have been added and ejected at the same time, yet, nothing is changing as it is obvious for all to see. **David** **Moyes**, **Jose Mourinho**, **Louis Van Gaal**, **Ole Gunnar Solskjaer** have all come and gone, still, nothing has changed. **Manchester United** boasts of the best talents in the world with the likes of **De Gea** in goal, **Varane** in defence, **Pogba** in midfield with **Bruno Fernandes** in attacking position. The likes of **Rashford** and **Sancho** on the wings and **Cavani** with **Cristiano Ronaldo** upfront but this team is still struggling and it's not even about them not gelling because I have seen enough of their brilliant link-up play when they really want to play yet, it looks like they have been cursed, really. They looked like an average team and you can see how opposition teams take them on without fear. The series of results they have been getting lately speaks a lot and not just this season, but for a while now. They were lucky to even win the **Europa League final** against **Ajax** under **Jose Mourinho** but we all need that moment in football sometimes - where you don't play at your best and still managed to win. You can see how the fortunes have changed because if it was the **Manchester United** team of old, they would not field too many regulars in **FA Cup** and **EFL Cup** matches because those are the moments where the fringe players get tested and the academy players come into the fray of things so they can feel what it means to play for **Manchester United**. You only see the regulars towards the Semi-Final or the Final when they managed to qualify to that point. A lot of youthful talents has been discovered from these competitions. Oh! How the mighty has fallen and that's the case with **Manchester United**. With over 127 attempts from set-pieces, **Manchester United** has not managed a single goal from a set-piece this season. This is why they aren't scoring as many goals as possible because you can't always rely on open play to get your goals, you need other sources. I wonder how the set piece coach sleeps at night knowing he has contributed nothing to **Manchester United** this season and yet he gets paid. **Manchester United** has conceded quite a lot of goals from set-pieces too. At least, if they can't score from a set-piece, they should at least learn to defend one but sadly, they have been poor on both fronts. Everyone seems to be tired of this team and yes, I am tired too. Who wouldn't be, when we have been subjected to painful experiences every time we play. What's there to be optimistic about? The moment we scored against **Southampton** today, I knew it was a flash because we would crumble again which was why I wasn't even excited about the goal. I only knew we were good enough to get a draw the moment we scored and I was proved right. It's time for the coach to take drastic actions and change his tactics while dropping players but the thing is if he drops players, who is available to be used from the bench? 😂😂🤣😂🤣 This is why I asked what colour is the problem **Manchester United** is facing because I don't understand either. I just had to get this out of my mind and that's why it's not my regular life or relationship posts. I hope you all bear with me this time around. I deeply appreciate you all and my amazing sponsors too. Every one of you here encourages me to keep pushing and I am happy. *Thank you for your time.* Kindly follow me on **Noise.Cash**...
