Gary Lineker has delivered a stinging assessment of the current state of Manchester United. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Warning Cesc Fabregas off the MUFC job, Lineker stated that moving to Old Trafford would be a career mistake for the Spanish manager.
Gary added that Manchester United must be avoided at all costs because the club has become the graveyard for talents across the globe.
His words, “He’s going to have a big decision at some point because if he continues to have even moderate success with Como a big club will come in for him.
It might be United. If he takes that job, he’d be mad! It’s a graveyard really.”
Alan Shearer added, “I know it’s a huge football club, but it’s not an attractive job at the minute, because of how many [managers] have been in there and how many have been sacked.
The only thing attractive about it is he might get a great pay-off in 12 or 18 months’ time.”
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
