The bottom line of Man United’s disappointment was not the loss to Arsenal
True to experts’ predictions, Manchester United continued to lose against Arsenal in round 37 of the 2023/24 Premier League. The Red Devils’ loss makes this season’s Premier League championship race interesting until the final round, because the competition between the London Gunners and Manchester City has not yet ended.
Outside the title race, losing the Champions League spot and the Europa League or Europa Conference League spot is likely to be very difficult, Man United shows a pathetic face, disappointed to the end.
Performance was the only thing that improved, as Erik ten Hag himself admitted that his students played with a better spirit. MU launched more shots than Arsenal, but the hit rate was inferior. They seemed to hold the ball more, but rarely put David Raya’s goal in danger.
A defeat is predicted, but the accompanying danger is not small. Man United is at an even greater disadvantage in the race to win at least one ticket to the European Cup next season. In addition, the image of Old Trafford “leaking from the roof” also made many fans feel depressed. During a heavy rain, the roof of Old Trafford’s stadium was punctured due to severe deterioration. The rain poured down on an area, even causing water to flood the rows of fans’ seats.
British and European media not only talked about Man United’s loss, but they also mentioned Cristiano Ronado’s name after the Red Devils’ face was exposed.
MU owes Ronaldo a lot of apologies
The main reason why Ronaldo left Man United was an interview with Piers Morgan, who specializes in “digging up” behind-the-scenes information about the Red Devils. In fact, the fever of the interview caused both CR7 and MU to no longer be on the same front line, forcing both to turn in two different directions.
At that time, Ronaldo talked about the condition of Old Trafford, the facilities were seriously degraded without being repaired for more than a decade, and (rumoured) about complaints related to the attitude of men. Jadon Sancho.
Despite these facts, MU fans only feel hurt because a big star in the team’s history is “revealing his shirt to show people his back”. After all, Red Devils fans, especially the club’s leadership, probably owe Ronaldo a lot of apologies.
Old Trafford is dilapidated, the roof is so punctured that rainwater leaks down like a “waterfall”. The construction mortar and wall foundations at Old Trafford are also cracked and seriously degraded, which is what outsiders can see. The internal things, specifically the deterioration of Carrington’s facilities, are clearly reflected by CR7. But there is an even scarier detail: Ronaldo dares to stand up and admit that MU has seriously degraded in all aspects, and everything is now not wrong.
