this is a short blog about Manchester united. Back in 99 when united done the treble, united where one of the best teams in not just the premier league but the world. in 1999 united went on to win the league with the last game of the league by beating tottenham hotspurs 2-1 to win the league by 1 point over arsenal that was the 16th of may 99, they then went to win the fa cup against Newcastle 2-0 only a week later on the 22nd of may 99, then cam the champions league final where they would be up against bayern munich and won 2-1 with both goals coming in added time but most famously ole gunnar solskjaer winning goal in the last minute if not seconds of the game.
united have been one of the top teams in the world for 10 years plus, but recently united’s performance/team hasn’t been up to the quality united fans and the world is used to seeing. united are struggling to reach top 6 of the premier league and haven’t even managed to get champions league this year and if we hope to get back into the champion league next year we will need to Europa league, which hopefully we can manage to do.
the reason i think united started having a bit of a downfall in the recent year or two is because when they got rid of Wayne Rooney, who was the last long standing member of Manchester united and was like the backbone of the team. united had nobody there who knew how the old united team played as they had also gotten rid of their manager Alex Ferguson. and until united have a few years with some of the same players who can work well as a team and play the united way, i personally don’t think we will be winning the big competitive football competitions.
