Manchester United malaise runs deep

There seem to be two main problems at United. One is the lack of patience of the management and the lack of astute signings is the second problem.

The run the most successful team in English football had, after resumption of the Premier League following the Covid-19 enforced break last season, been promising. They did not lose a single game and secured third place which had seemed unlikely earlier in the season. There was finally hope that good times were back again at Old Trafford, maybe for the first time since the departure of the legendary manger Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013.
