(Note: Heavy sarcasm in places, beware.)
There you go United fans, you got what you wished for.
David Moyes left the club and you're now going to suddenly do something you haven't done 7 times this season, and that's winning at home.
Wait, that's not right, even with Ryan Giggs at the helm, the Champions make Sunderland budge.
"What does this mean?" Well, maybe we should consider embracing the possibility that the players who play for this club, are somewhat responsible for the club's failings this year.
Maybe, we should embrace reality, and comprehend the undoubted truth that whoever came into the club this season simply was never going to match Sir Alex Ferguson.
Sarcasm finished.
Manchester United at present, is Sir Alex's team.
What would happen, per say, if United gave Moyes the summer to build his own team? He would've been able to stamp his authority immediately instead of trying to comfort overgrown egos in the dressing room.
It's easy to slot in our voyeuristic ways, and seek pleasure in attractive football.
However, when we don't see it, we tend to point the finger right away and this was Moyes' downfall.
As fans, we love to think we know what's going behind the scenes, but reality check, we don't.
There was a reason Moyes' set his side up the way he did against Munich, and it was because he knew his side's limitations.
He knew he couldn't count on playing a 4-4-2 such as Madrid did against Munich, because his players simply weren't good enough to do so and even with an extra body in midfield, they couldn't overcome a stuttering Munich side.
Now we've seen Ryan Giggs lose his first match in charge at Old Trafford, and the performance was almost a replica of United's performance against Everton, having a lot of the ball at times, but failing to do anything with it.
The argument of Moyes making this side negative and teaching them the wrong way to play football is ludicrous as there was little complaint after impressive wins at St. James' Park, and against Aston Villa at home.
If this was true, considering Ryan Giggs epitomises the "United way," why couldn't the players implement this against Sunderland?
Of course, there wouldn't be wholesale changes in their style of play, but with no sense of urgency, it's clear the players are already thinking about their trips to Brazil.
After a week of players such as Lindegaard comparing Giggs to Guerdiola and Carrick praising Giggs' style, it's evident that the players didn't take to Moyes and most likely nor did he to them.
There are problems at Manchester United, and it looks like they are much deeper then any of us could've predicted.
