With the Red Devils beginning the season with a bang, demolishing Arsenal 8-2 it was said that United were going to be a force to reckon with, challenging for all major competitions this term.
How could this of been POSSIBLE?!?!?!?
This is the question many United fans may have asked themselves, as they saw a lackluster Manchester not being able to defeat their opponents.
With Basel making 1 of the biggest upsets in football history, many ask what went wrong for the Red Devils, how could they of not get the result needed from what seemed an easy match.
Well 1 of the answers is overconfidence. When questioned in a press conference after their draw with Benfica at home, about if United were struggling in the Champions League this season, the furious Scot responded by walking out. He was insulted by the suggestion. The irony is tho that his team has been knocked out and now must partake of the not so glamerous Europa League.
What seemed to be as the easiest group to win for United, they were unable to make it out on top. Even Fergie was forcibly forced to admit that "complacency" and "casualness" were displayed in United's performances.
The 2nd problem stems from United's sorry excuse for midfielders with the likes of Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher not performing at their best. Looking at United's 4-1 win over Wolves on the weekend, most of their attacks came through the wing areas and hardly through the center.
And that is where they fall, they fail to link attacking plays through the center and this in turns leaves their whole defense exposed to attacks from their opponents.
This was shown against their rivals, where they were humiliated with a 6-1 defeat.
If Manchester United don't address these problems soon, sad to say we could be looking at a future Liverpool a few seasons ago.
