It was a painful criticism from former Newcastle manager Graham Souness. United have been in crisis since the beginning of the season. Manchester United fell to the bottom of the table with a complete defeat against Liverpool last time. The shock was even greater because it was a crushing defeat at home. United lost 0-3 to rival Liverpool without doing anything. He was tricked by opposing ace Mohamed Salah. Manchester United, which got off to a good start with a 1-0 win over Fulham in the opening match, fell to 14th place with a 1-2 loss to Brighton and then even to Liverpool.
Manchester United has been on the decline since the retirement of former coach Alex Ferguson. It is not easy to advance to the European Champions League, let alone compete for the championship. Every season he throws in an astronomical amount of money, every season he recruits star-studded players, but things don't change. No, it's getting worse. Manchester United have a lot of stars on a huge weekly basis, but they are not showing that much performance.
Souness pointed out this part. He called Manchester United FC Hollywood through talk sports on the 4th (Korea time). FC Hollywood refers to Germany's most prestigious Bayern Munich. It's a poor performance in the 1990s, but it's given that it appears more in gossip, such as making a fuss outside the ground.
"FC Bayern is the word for Bayern in Germany, but Manchester United is here," Souness said. "If someone sees something, they enter the superstar category even before they become good players."
In doing so, he took Kobe Mainu as an example. Mainu appeared like a comet last season and emerged as a new hope for Manchester United's midfield. It was also included in the last Euro 2024 entry. Souness said "It's not that I'm unkind. Mainu may be a good player, but this is Manchester United"Mainu now has to be a player who goes in and out of a good team. You have to be a player who goes in and out of good teams, not directly against the best teams." "Minu has the talent to be a good player one day, but he is not a good midfielder for Manchester United."
