Manchester United's 3-0 loss to Bournemouth highlights a deeper malaise at the club. A rundown stadium, leaking ceilings, and a depleted staff reflect the consequences of cost-cutting measures implemented by the Ineos ownership. The article contrasts the struggles of dedicated employees with the presence of a seemingly unqualified individual appointed due to family ties.
Rubbish was floating around the Old Trafford pitch amid Baltic winds on Sunday and more rubbish was served up by the Manchester United players.
The redundancy bloodbath has harmed United's already unflattering image. The usual accreditation officer at the media desk was off for the Bournemouth match, so the affable security attendant on the door was tasked with sifting through lanyards. All the while, a junior employee whose father is the chief executive of one of Ineos's sister companies swans around Carrington, purportedly as Sir Dave Brailsford's personal assistant. No wonder resentment festers.
Zirkzee is 6ft 4in yet was not deemed a threat at an attacking corner by his own coach. Damning does not quite cover it and Hojlund, overpromoted since United invested £72million in him in July 2023, is likely to be overburdened again over the next five months. Malacia had three good games for United before his 550-day absence with a knee problem. Come the summer, he will have a year left on his contract. Whichever left back United recruit, they have to be as a starter to replace Shaw, who has outstayed his welcome.
