Football 8

 Well, it had been a long time I didn't write on this topic. Nonetheless, I think it's the time now.

I'll write on this title because I'm insulted by the performance and results obtained by Manchester United (MU) football club, which I supported since I knew about football since primary school or secondary school time.

Now is the new season of 2020/21 and this morning was the first ever competitive match for MU, one match later than other teams since MU had participated in Europa League 2019/20 semi final but they lost. Therefore, their first opponent was Crystal Palace football club, which are not as strong as MU. However, MU lost to them 3-1 at home, Old Trafford!

I'm really disgusted since MU have invested quite a sum of money to improve the quality of the squad even though just Donny Van de Beek was recruited officially. Nevertheless, MU had signed Bruno Fernandes since January 2020. The results were excellent after his signing, I think it'll continue in that way since not much investments from other teams across the world as well due to Covid-19 pandemic.

I didn't watch the full match through television but I did watch the match's highlights. The defense of MU was cruel. Why the players in such weak opponent could score? What happened to the defense of MU? Did it due to the players' quality or tactic issues? It's hard to believe that they could do well in the second half of last season but they can't continue it this season. 

Thus, it's hopeless to talk about challenging for title or fighting for champions in UEFA Champions League, FA Cup or League Cup or whatever competitions. It's also hard to believe that MU will perform in such a low quality after the retirement of legendary coach or manager, Sir Alex Ferguson. It's still acceptable if the change is still new but it had been years and many managers had been replaced. 

Come on, please improve and be better. I don't desperate for huge glory now but at least be competitive. It's impossible that MU can't perform under any new managers. The owner of MU also has to invest in the squad in order to fight for glory, from the champion that they possess later will earn them prize money for their future investments. It's damn hard to just earn the entrance ticket solely if the performance is not good. Who'll come to watch or support this team again?

Think of something and make some changes. I believe MU can move back to glory but please don't be like Liverpool football club which need 30 years to claim back the league title.
