Last season everything was peachy for Manchester United. They may not have been playing spectacularly well but they did get their mitts on the Premier League title, snatching it back from their closest rivals Manchester City. Things were flowing nicely until Sir Alex Ferguson – the man who had turned United into the side they were after 27 years of management – stepped down from his post.
In came David Moyes and out went the winning mentality, or at least the winning, and it seems a far-fetched dream for any United fans that they will retain their trophy.
They now sit in seventh 15 points behind leaders Arsenal after 24 league games and are out of all cup competitions except the Champions League. But let’s be honest, it’s unlikely that they win that.
Their home form has taken a battering and so has their reputation, but rather than blame the manager and get on his back, the majority of United fans have rallied around the former Everton boss and are pointing towards the players in terms of failure.
There have been a number of injuries in the squad this term but also players who have simply not pulled their weight, and I am ready to name three that I believe should be offloaded come the end of the season.
You may agree, you may not, but either way I want to hear your views. Football is a game of opinions and everyone is entitled to one, so to start the process please click ‘start’.
