What is happening to Manchester United?

By Manchester United standard, this will be a very poor season with only 3 trophies (you left out the Europa League)to play for. Even if they win the triple again, it is just not the same with no Champions League as one of the three. It is pointless to buy any new players this season as the big fish has slipped the net. But they must get quality players next season to try to win all 4 trophies. Although it is not an easy path as shown in the game against Man City, it is still workable as shown also in the Man City game. It is better if they can get a good defender to help out Vidic and Ferdinand, or else, they just have to score more goals than they can concede. We may get to see more results like 3-2, 4-2...

i am a chelsea fan but im not going to trash or troll this post, chelsea are playing like crap as well, i dont really know the man u team that well to comment, but they dont seem to be playing as well as last year, rooney's striking instinct seems to be lost and nani doesnt seem to be playing as well as he was but then again i think fergie needs more players :)

I think the problem for Man U is their wobbly defense and their midfield area currently. Going forward they are quite good with Rooney being very efficient and Berbatov also showing some signs of good form. But at the back especially when Vidic has been injured the team is really wobbly. I think if Sir Alex does not spruce up his defense this season can disintegrate for Man U. Cheers! Ram

They are really lacking in the midfield department. They seem to be ok on the wings with Nani, Valencia and Young when they are fit but they do need someone with a bit of flair and passing ability in the middle of the park which is why Paul Scholes has come out of retirement .

With the money that Chelsea and Man City has, it is not difficult to see them putting up a strong challenge. But Man Utd had done very well in sticking to the "moneybags". Without a doubt, the Red Devils are missing some of their key players. Vidic is out. Ferdinand seems to have lost it. Van De Saar retired last season as did Paul Scholes, thou he made a return. Ferguson has not adequately replace them and thus the indifferent results they had.

for every team hard time comes. i dont think, it will be fair to react coz they are not doing well in one season. they were fabulous previous year. i was disappointed also when they lost 0-5 to mancity, but they won against them in last game. manu has got good players. hard time comes and goes. as a manu fan lets hope the golden time comes again very soon.
