I think Ferguson's time at United completely warped the shit out of that Club and the fanbase and the insane expectations. Before Ferguson, they only had 7 First Division titles, and Matt Busby won 5 of those plus two FA cups and their one and only European cup(CL).

After Busby's time, they would never win a league title nor CL title until Ferguson in 1991-2 which was 25 years later and didn't win a CL again until the 1997-8 season.

In the grand scheme of things it's not all that unusual to see teams like United go through years of success and fall off for long periods of time as there were other teams in England who were on a tear most notably Liverpool and other teams who had won titles like Arsenal, Everton, Forest, Leeds and Villa in 1980-81.

Ferguson was an anomaly in terms of longevity. He spent 20+ years managing United and winning a lot. United are in that awkward era like what happened between Busby and Ferguson. The question is will they ever pull out of it? time will tell.

Fabrizio lied?
His only "Inside" Information he gets most of the time is from the Agents himself or he's a tap in merchant.

The only time he's been correct when it comes to Barcelona is either the first one or He's working with Matteo Moretto, who clearly doing most of the heavy lifting when he's working with Fabrizo as it seems like he has a really good connections in Spanish Football.

Anyway, hard to believe Rashford was United's biggest problem since they finished 15th last season while he was starting for Villa in CL quarterfinals.

That club is just clueless. Rashford and Bruno, by far the best players they had in the last decade imo.
