Wingers not crossing has been an issue for the goal scoring part, but I can imagine the issues with VAR screwing them over every game can’t help the mentally, looks like that has stopped recently, players on big wages isn’t an issue really they have justified those wages, players of the calibre of varane and casemiro for example. The transfer side is back room, the owners only care about the money coming in, when we reached the CL in the past, it’s felt like the owners just decided, that will do, and then not spend, and then sacking manager, rinse and repeat, basically no progress as a result and a load of players coming for projects that don’t happen

They have a goalkeeper problem

Yeah Onana can’t hold all the simple beats

Poor mentalities, poor financial management, poor man management, poor recruitment, leech owners.

Any manager that takes the utd job would struggle. Any success that happens will be short term success until major changes happen throughout the club from top to bottom.

I m Galatasaray fan but ı was surprised that Galatasaray beat Man United and Man United finished 4th in Group A.

United will struggle until Glazers get lost from this club. Period.

Mentality? I think before mentality the more pressing problem is positioning and in game management.

United fans have been saying this for years. Its not a revelation.

All of these intangibles like mentality, experience, composure start to come out when a big team performs consistently poorly, but I think the answer is a lot simpler. Transfer business from United, over the last 10 years, has been categorically horrendous. People bringing up mentality seem to imply that it’s the mentality that’s letting them down and that the players are losing because of their weak mentality - no, the team is just crap. It’s not a top 4 team. United have a weird propensity to sign glamorous players with strong resumes that drop off after 1-2 years, giving them high wages which restricts investment elsewhere. And after the 1-2 years is up, it’s rinse and repeat - no semblance of a plan, a project, or a cohesive pathway forward. Their team right now is only Europa League standard, which is why their performances have reflected that.

Feel like man utd only knows how to play the long pass no matter the situation. Win lose or draw it’s always long pass to the forwards which results in lost of possession and a lack of control over the game giving the opposition chances to score

Yes but it’s not the only one

Mentality is for sure one of the problems along with a pile of many others
just score first against us and we frantically run on the ground
comparison to real madrid they conceded a goal against Napoli and within a minute or so replied back with a banger of a goal

would you ever think after el classico if real loses can you imagine seeing vini patrying or rodrygo partying ofc no
but after the loss against city rashford was reportedly seen partying the same night

rashford is not a bad player but its all about the mentality and the willingness for the team and not just playing for the paycheck

They do, but they’ve also pulled out last minute points several times this season which shows me there’s something there.

It’s probably a bit of everything. Mentality, questionable decisions in transfer windows, strained relationships with key players (from Ronaldo to Maguire and now Sancho), and a reluctance to make significant changes in tactics.

Sure, injuries didn’t help either, but I’m struggling to notice any on-field improvement since ETH took charge at United…

Id say It is their single biggest problem and can be seen time and time again over the last few years. When things don’t go their way they completely lose their cohesion and give up. The biggest example of this is obviously the Liverpool 7 goal defeat.

How do you fix a team that won’t put it all on the line for the club? It’s a big issue that isn’t easily solved.
