Former Manchester United defender Phil Jones has said that procrastination has been a problem affecting the club for many years. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the accumulation of bad decisions over the years has led to the decline MUFC has experienced since SAF retired, and the club must stop postponing solutions to become a force to be reckoned with again.
Jones added that it will definitely take a long time for the Red Devils to get back to the great club they once were.
His words, “There isn’t one thing that’s the problem, it’s an accumulation of all the little one per cents.
Saying ‘We’ll do that, we’ll weigh that up at the end of the season, we’ll worry about that in the next transfer window, we’ll tidy that up there..’ It’s the accumulation of all these sort of decisions that maybe aren’t bad decisions at the time, but they’re not great ones.
It’s a heavy, heavy shirt to wear, but it’s a rewarding one. Hopefully they can start to build a little bit of momentum and regain some of that X Factor.
But it’s going to take a long time to get to get back to the Man United that we all knew and loved.”
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.
