Ever since the great Sir Alex Ferguson left the club, the place has run on fumes and they have run the club more like a profit centre for business than a football institute.
They have done everything they can to capitalize commercially leaving the human and football factors in shambles.
The current duo of Ed Woodward, a director who knows nothing about football and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, a manager who knows nothing about management has correctly portrayed the sad story of the club.
It seems though they have hit a new bottom with a new story revealed by former Red Devils winger Angel Di Maria.
Di Maria was signed as a superstar signing, one of United’s many commercial gimmicks and given the legendary number 7 jersey of Manchester United. However, is that what he really wanted?
“I don’t really know. When I arrived, I saw that the No.11 was available”, he said when asked why he took number 7.
“It’s a shirt number I wore a lot when I was younger and I was keen to get once again. At Real Madrid, No.11 was already taken, so I took 22. At Manchester United they gave me No.7, I didn’t get a choice. I would have liked 11 but there we are. Here (at PSG), I had a choice, so I chose 11!”
Oh dear, why United? Talk about a classic overkill.
