Young ones shine but rot is deep at Manchester United

Hindustan Times  

Leaning back and with flair characteristic of him, the actor Bill Nighy asks: “1993 Manchester United, what happened?” Playing a coach who was a once-famous football scout in the heart-warming Netflix film, “The Beautiful Game”, Nighy answers the question himself. The lead didn't last – some matches turn logic on its head, this one didn't – but Liverpool will have to live with the fact that in Juergen Klopp's farewell season, they could not beat Manchester United. In Erik ten Hag's second season, the gap between Manchester United and the current top three has increased. Manchester United look like they have less energy – the wide players were often a step slower than Liverpool's forwards while tracking back – they can forget how to defend corner-kicks and show little cohesion. Injuries have played their part and United's lack of available options in central defence –there were three pairings against Chelsea last week and 26 overall in the league – mirror that of Liverpool in 20-21.
