They've been rebuilding since 2013. If you are "rebuilding" it should insinuate that you are building towards something, like a coherent structure being built. The "archiects" at MANU build 10 levels of parking garages, put a roof on top of this structure and hire a wedding organizer to manage the garages. After a few years they decide it's not working and the wedding organizer is to blame. No problemo! Let's fire him and hire a hotel manager. Hotels are fancy, we're fancy. A match made in heaven!

Hi Adrian, as a local Man Utd supporter, I just wanted to say thank you for this. The way you put it across there at the end is the way it needs to be said - those who run the club aren't looking to change. They literally do not care about the club itself, it is ONLY about money. I don't envy billionaires like them, I actually feel sorry for how far greed has corrupted their now-empty souls. It's been clear and obvious what's been happening for a long time now, but sadly it takes years and years before enough people board the bandwagon, even when you put the evidence right in their face. Hopefully the momentum will culminate in an uprising, but it's tragic that most fans need to suffer for so long and have their ever-renewing faith utterly trampled before enough people come together. Again, thank you for saying it how it is.

[@ryomawashere4032]

We should compare ManUtd's situation with Arsenal's situation now as they had near identical case at the beginning. As an Arsenal fan, I've always believe that Arsenal and ManUtd shared a common enemy, terrible American owner. Yet I was wrong (almost) about the Kroenkes and since gained full ownership, they have been backing up the club also given, Arteta and Edu almost full autonomy to operate. And unlike ManUtd with Ed Woodward, Arsenal chief executive Vinai Venkatesham never seems to be involve with football aspect of the club. The Kroenkes are still an absence figure at the Emirates but the animosity toward them slowly declining with Arsenal showing potential to challenge the big two.

Agreed, it's not like we haven't spent in last 3 years. We infact have spent lot more than other clubs. There has been significant improvement in players we bring in in the last 2 years.

Every signing has a purpose no more random loans, fillers, over paid wages, 30+ year olds, etc. Now this year and next year success will be crucial

[@lebstep5057]

In terms of rebuild I think Arsenal is a better example than PSG. PSG was never in a "crisis", they just spent money without a clear plan. Arsenal, at the time when Mikel Arteta took over, was a burning dumpster of a football club. If you look at Arteta's first XI and compare it to now you can see how far they have come. If I had to point out a key difference at Arsenal and Man Utd it would be the owners. Over the last 4 years my opinion of the Kroenkes shifted massively. They brought in a manager and a sporting director with a clear idea of what Arsenal should be and supported them all the way. While all the rival fans were mocking us they stuck with the manager and supported him not only in the transfer market but also internally. That's how we got rid of the players who contributed to a toxic atmosphere and replaced them with young, exciting players who trust in the manager's plan. As an Arsenal fan I find it sad how a club like Man Utd fell so low. The Wenger and Fergie rivalry was peak Premier League. Honestly I don't think it's going to change unless they get proper owners who actually care of the football club.

[@RabonaTV]

You're right! Arsenal is a great example that Manchester United should absolutely follow. They've done an incredible job over there. As for the PSG comparison: I meant it more as in they identified a problem and made a major change swiftly because they have a hunger for success. The mentions of open heart surgery from Rangnick and "if everyone *_wants_* it" (wanting the change internally is the big thing) points to how those at PSG actually want to change, while those at United don't. Not so much the same situation, more the identification of a problem and a willingness to change (which doesn't exist at United). I may not have been clear enough there, my bad.

[@lebstep5057]

@@RabonaTV It's all good I think you have made a valid point. I just wanted to point out Arsenal as a better example because the situation is more similar and the work Edu and Arteta have done often gets overlooked especially since they rebuilt when the pandemic was at it's peak. I don't want to get too deep into a medical discussion but if PSG's case was like a "heart problem" then Man Utd is more like a malignant tumour with metastases. It's shocking how arguably the biggest club in the world can appear so disorganised and incompetent. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if there's some kind of twisted nepotism going on there.

Instead of changing the environment they just sign new players for absurd fees to ruin them. McTominay wouldn't be in the starting line-up in at least half a dozen other PL Clubs, that's for sure, but he is also the only cdm in the squad. For one offensive midfield position they now have Fernandes, van de Beek and Eriksen, as well as 6 full backs who are all decent but without one being world class. To stabilize the team, and a certain overprized defender, I'd install a back 3, Douglas Luiz from Villa and Tielemans would be a good adition to the starting line-up. Both have the quality to help this team, without being predominantly "jersey movers" and their contracts run only 'til 2023.

Mate, same here. Always favored Man U & Madrid. Quite a balance 😂🥲 I started watching Man U since 2013. It’s like getting into MCU with Phase 4. 😤

[@ranjanprithvi]

I have friends who started supporting liverpool after 2005. They have had to endure a lot of tough years, and persist with them before the support started finally paying off. Hang in there mate. United will be back, hopefully sooner rather than later

[@RN-yo4qm]

you must really love comedy, lol

[@UofLFan1224]

@@MrBlackout97 its clear that someone in power at the club isn't interested in being good at soccer anymore. Repeatedly making the same mistake every year is wild

[@caynehampton1878]

Spring 2014 near the end of the 2013-14 season for me, watching Wayne Rooney made me a fan of this club.

[@vex_13]

Out of topic but I just realised your background is actually really simple (just lighting and plant) but it looks so good.

[@jtmcgee]

Ive only gotten into Football in the last 4 years. I always heard about Manchester United as this Monolith or incredible Hulk but all Ive ever seen with my eyes is a mid table shamble of a club. If I had never heard of them before I would have thought they were in the same class as West Ham, I mean they are now, but like always.

[@Koutsimouka]

Mate United were GIANTS... West Ham are better than us now for sure we are a shambles

[@SKa-tt9nm]

United is exactly where Liverpool was in the late 90s. A club that thought the good times would last forever. A big club but not nearly as big as they once were.

[@emmettg7490]

Can we talk about how Man u came 2nd in the 2020-21 season? Thanks Solskjaer & Cavani! I'm sorry marketing and thereby Ronaldo were prioritized over quality football. How Maguire is still with this squad baffles me. I think the Greenwood debacle really hurt them. I fully agree with Adrian, the missing midfield is really hurting the team in many ways. Another solid video, thanks!

[@riz1135]

Ten hag after 1 year "Finishing 20 with United is my biggest achievement"

[@9delta988]

If he is still around after a year, yes, that would be his biggest achievement ;-)

[@TheModeler99]

I love the downfall of United.

[@aarnethn]

Same but I feel bad for my friends that are supporting United. 🤣🤣🤣

[@RN-yo4qm]

If MU actually change, then there would not be any more comedy while watching them. So the Glazers, please keep doing what you've been doing to MU because everyone loves seeing MU players perform comedic acts during their matches. #4EverUniShit

[@christiankandolf9006]

Bruh calling Arnautovic racist is like so over the line. He is (was for me) controversial, but he isn't fucking racist. He had a discussion with the player of Montenegro and even he said that Arnies punishment at Euro 2020 was way to harsh and somehow no one is talking about the provocations Arnie had to endure. Sure what he did was still not right but the involved players discussed it and it shouldn't be a negative point against Arnie anymore. And of course he isn't fucking racist.

[@RabonaTV]

The fan is from North Macedonia, not Montenegro. I've made that mistake in the past! Anyway, Whitwell pointed out that a North Macedonian fan asked how signing him would clash with Man United's zero-tolerance approach to racism, he didn't say "a fan wrote to call Arnautovic a raging racist." But that, coupled with the Eredivisie instance (of which Arnautovic denied as well, it's a "his word against mine" situation) must have been enough to put United off. Perhaps thinking it's a "where there is smoke, there's fire" kind of thing, I don't know. That and Bologna telling them he is unsellable of course.😂

[@darthplagueis8886]

You can´t turn anything without quality, Rabiot is a very good player, but not nearly enough, they should get Neves also, i stil don´t get why they didn´t bought the portuguese already, he´s the perfect DM for Ten Hag, They also need to get Antony.

[@conorhibbert9806]

There's no problem in a short term solution when you have your long term one coming through the youth ranks and making waves in the first team. We were building around rashford, Sancho and greenwood, so if one went off form the other two could carry the wings. With the first two being off form, and the centre piece going to jail, we've lost the spine of our team leaving our back end completely exposed to a weekly spanking by relegation fodder teams

[@TheRishijoesanu]

Benfica seems like a well run club, at least in the transfer market

[@impulse7712]

The one thing I can say about Ed wood wood at least he signed players at a half decent pace

[@RabonaTV]

THE WOOD MAN.

[@darrengarside2106]

Loving your KZbin channel found you after watching your Darwin video YNWA

[@gadget00]

ETH must be thinking: “what have I got myself into…”

[@Zz-lp8yr]

Im sorry but it is just wayyyy too easy to criticize on the midfield so much, i do believe mcto isnt the best and fred is limited, but i feel more heart from them than the rest of the team all together, give them a solid defense, give them an attack who try to combine and create action, try to have laterals who actually are attacking minded while being at least OK defensively and yeah maybe change mcto, but these two always seem to have more heart than the rest of the team...

[@Kaythakilla]

Hey Adrian, love the good work you do! I’m a Zimbabwean living in South Africa and have noticed that coaches are wearing black t shirts/tops in many if not all matches. I mainly watch Serie A but have caught some EPL and La Liga and noticed the same. Is there some reason behind this? Would love a video on it if it’s an interesting one. Thank you!

[@robwyyi]

The name that equates to United decline. Glazers

[@Hyouseff]

Great video, but to put it simply unless we get owners that care about the club the situation won't change

[@kevinhanandi]

Or employ someone who actually know their stuff (they had a chance with ragnick, imo he will be a very good director for them, but they fired him, so idk and the reason with ten haag success is that he has a good director behind him, which he doesn't get in united)

[@saudasiri6019]

I like your channel man, one thing I wish you do is to talk more about the best league in the world which is Serie A!

[@RabonaTV]

I will have some Serie A content out early next week my man.

[@thecontextual1one411]

When you were talking about open heart surgery, I thought you were going to reference Spurs

[@GeordieGunner96]

When you mentioned changing a clubs approach I thought you were going to say arsenal (my team) not psg because of signings like viera Jesus zinchenko & getting likes aubamyang out.

[@wilseph1]

Literally any midfielder in the Championship would be an upgrade on McTominay.

[@johncoloma9574]

More on Moises Caicedo and the ongoing alchemy of Ecuador's golden generation porfavor!

[@PincheBrayan101]

I mean can you really judge him after one game? United will not be turned around in one game and they won’t be for a feel. Man United is a project and will take years in order to turn them around, look at Liverpool not winning the Prem, it will take some time.

[@ganaed]

Haven't seen enough from PSG to say they've turned it around

[@davidtran1360]

Theatre of screams. This video should have been called the theatre of screams.

[@aarnethn]

The theatre of memes 😹

[@tmakalpha1]

Just watched this after Brentford walloped United 4-0. How long until Ten Hag becomes just Ten Points?

[@murdered4269]

Dont know why United are still going for de jong I was hoping they would buy Alvarez & Lisandro from Ajax after ten haag was announced as manager yet they only bought one which Alvarez could easily replace mcfred duo
