My people, make we gist about dis whole Manchester United matter wey dey make fans dey vex and cheer up inside beer joint. Dem dey ask if e get wetin dem call ‘United Way’, as the club don go through plenty coaches since dis last 12 years.
As e be now, dem don change coach reach six times since Ferguson pack him load and commot. Na serious matter be dis! Dem just sack Ruben Amorim wey manage dem for 63 matches, and na wetin wey dey make plenty people dey ask: Wetin be the identity of Manchester United? Wetin dem dey play? Omo! The pressure don dey show, my brothers.
You fit hear questions like, “How we go fit catch that old magic wey dey shine during Ferguson time?” Reality be say, dem never see 21 league titles wey dem dey look for, sha. Carrick don try bring back some cruise, but abeg no be time to rejoice yet!
Ferguson na the godfather wey fit show anybody wetin e mean to win. Him dey carry trophy like popcorn. 13 Premier League titles, Champions League, and four League Cups, all of dem na e be winner-man. But after he commot, enjoyment don dey scatter, and dem don pass another ten years wey dem no win consistent titles again.
Na from 2013, points don drop like no tomorrow. If dem reach 80 points, e go be like say dem don do big thing, but since then, na average 66 points wey dem dey manage. How far? Liverpool dey show dem road as dem finish last season with only 42 points. Na wah my people!
My guy Carrick, wey dey lead as interim, don talk say him know wetin e go take to succeed but make we talk true, na only cup titles e fit boast about. FA Cups and League Cups dey for ground, but to be honest, dem dey hide the real matter wey dey hapun: how to return to the top.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer don talk am well before say, ‘No be just trophy go fit make we dey feel say we don land. Na the way we go dey consistent near the top be the koko.’ Na so he talk before him waka go house after him second-place finish for 2021. Dem statistics don dey show say club dey struggle on top league level, but dem get small wins for cups.
Dem recent players wey dey shine, na academy boys and na dem wey still carry the hope for fans. If Carrick fit join hand with these boys, maybe dem fit see better days ahead. Remember say Ferguson run follow youth and courage, wey dey bring trophy like say na water.
So, wetin be di real meaning of dis ‘United Way’? Some people go talk say na style no dey clear, bikos wetin person fit call ‘style’ dey chuk for eye. Me I go just say na about dey win, dem no dey give point for how sweet the ball dey roll.
As dem dey prepare for their next match, make we all keep our fingers crossed and pray say dis new one no go turn to just another era of disappointment. Maybe wetin dem need na just correct mindset and plenty hard work. Na only time go tell how we go see di ‘United Way’ shine again for Old Trafford. Cheers!
