In case you didn’t know…
United have won just once in their last seven games which included defeats to Manchester City, Everton and Barcelona. Yesterday, the Red Devils drew with Chelsea at Old Trafford, denying the former the chance to overtake Arsenal and take fifth spot.
Clearly, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be expected to rebuild his squad with a couple of players such as Ander Herrera and Paul Pogba seemingly ready for a move out of the club. With the lack of UEFA Champions League football, it will be hard for Solskjaer to attract players to play for United, and Wenger had similar thoughts.
The heart of the matter
Speaking in an interview, the Frenchman said:
Since Sir Alex Fergurson left the club in 2013, the Red Devils have yet to lift the EPL trophy. Now, with other big spending European clubs such as Barcelona and Manchester City, it will be difficult for United to compete with them and sign top players.
Wenger also added:
True to his word, not all the players United have purchased have been successful signings. Over the years, the club has splashed cash on Alexis Sanchez, Angel di Maria and Fred. The first two have struggled heavily whilst at Old Trafford. As for Fred, he has not quite liven up to expectations despite having considerable game time.
What’s next?
United will travel to play Huddersfield this weekend. The Terriers were the first club to be relegated from the EPL and they were humbled 5-0 by Liverpool on Friday.
