Barcelona legend Gerard Piqué has come out to criticise the current Manchester United squad. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the players must start taking responsibility for their poor performances instead of constantly blaming their managers.
Highlighting the club’s massive financial outlay on transfers, Piqué questioned if the current MUFC team possesses the quality to win major trophies.
His words, “I mean, they spend a huge amount of money, and the players they need to show that they are worth that money.
Because right now, it’s very easy to blame the coach when you don’t have results. And it’s… at least in football, this is what happens when a team is not performing well, it’s the coach. But it’s not true.
The players are the ones that are on the pitch, and they need to get results. It’s been already a few years with different coaches, so at some point, players they need to be accountable.”
WOW.
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.
