Battle of Manchester

We think of Real Madrid and all their success.

ESPN FC
Battle of Manchester

It didn't happen during the Galactico era.

Of course, some people are going to point the finger at the Champions League that they won against Leverkusen and the goal by Zidane, and that's the one moment in time, but

ESPN FC

When you go year by year by year, as Barcelona was building what essentially became a machine and an empire, Real Madrid were dwindling and going in the wrong direction.

ESPN FC

And it wasn't until the arrival of Jose Mourinho that he then understood

Yeah, what Barcelona got going on here seems to be unstoppable.

If we want to play toe-to-toe with this team, we're going to have to dirty this whole thing up.

And that is, while we focus on Ruben Amorim, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Michael Carrick, and you can go on and on and on, Darren Fletcher, if you want to.

In the end, and I think those of us that were fortunate enough to have played professionally know that or would appreciate if the responsibility was actually on the players.

So at some point, Manchester United, in order for them to make coaching decisions and give the power to save Michael Carrick, then the players have to show something different than what they have shown so far, and do so consistently.
