Man U seem to be fast becoming just a feeder club for Real Madrid.
LOL!!
It does seem that way.
The only thing is, the players never seem to achieve quite as much once they go to Real M.
Beckham only just managed to sneak a championship winning medal & that's when it was confirmed he was off to Walt Disney FC & RvN has bagged winners medals too, but they've done zilch in Europe & that's where it counts.
(1) Players often get itchy feet once they havee achieved
(2) Manc is nice enough (and I have lived there and liked it) but hardly has the attractions on the big European cities
(3) Man U don't seem to be a natural home for the sport's global superstars - a place for the big fish.
Think about it. Of course, CR emerged to the top but there have not been that many "A" list international stars there. It seems to suit top class, quality players for sure but not the biggest names.
Being the Second biggest and club in world is not good enough, they the most supporters in the world and have won the biggest competitions and are the best club in the world, but they need to be No1 for everything!!!!
