Who is to blame for the crisis at Old Trafford — the owners, the hierarchy, a manager who has overseen Manchester United’s worst start to the season for 61 years or a bunch of players unworthy of the shirt?
The only rational answer can be ‘all of them’ when considering a decline that seems so shocking and yet so obvious in equal measure. Owners the Glazers have been a blight on the club, there are serious questions for the executives to answer and an overpriced, overpaid playing squad must bear responsibility for their own rank performances on the pitch.
