Giggs throws in the towel with United

In other times, Manchester United started each year as the big favorite to be crowned Premier League champions. Sir Alex Ferguson, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs … Not so long ago everyone respected United as the great colossus of the islands and the Red Devils returned that impression with one win after another. Now in a new age have dropped down the favorites ladder and have not conquered the national lightweight championship for eight seasons. So much so, that even one of its greatest legends has lost faith that the situation can be reversed in the near future.

Ryan Giggs, speaking to The Greatest Game podcast, has warned the club that they are not on the right track to take back the title. “It may be fifteen or twenty years before you know it, especially if Klopp and Guardiola stay. We all thought that Liverpool, when they won in 1990, would take him back soon. Even Klopp took four and a half years to win. It takes a lot of time. You have to think about what he did: he improved the team in each season, he won the Champions League … This is how the improvement was seen and then he relaxed a bit. It seems that each coach or signing looks like it is going to be the one that makes us win the Premier and it is not like that“reflects the Wales coach, recalling that the last one was won in the 2012-13 campaign.

Despite the good movements of United in recent years in the transfer market, they are still one step behind in the Manchester City and Liverpool pools. In addition, they will have to sweat if they want to seal a new classification for the Champions League. Despite all efforts, Arsenal, Tottenham or Chelsea are on a similar level. While, in the city past times are yearned for and it is expected that Maguire, Bruno, Rashford, Martial, Greenwood or the newly incorporated Van de Beek will take the final step to establish themselves as world stars and bring glory to Old Trafford. For the moment, the fifteenth position in the table does nothing more than agree with a Giggs already throwing in the towel …
