Manchester United has not been what it has been for me ever
since Sir Alex Ferguson left.
Last night while I caught the match against Swansea at home
with my dad, it felt like I was watching a complete different team. No doubt
they were wearing the same logo, at the same stadium I visited once before and
playing for the same goals but they just felt like a complete different club
altogether. If not for the façade, I would have thought another club was
playing at Old Trafford.
Even the signature Nike jersey has been changed. Out of the
11 players on the pitch, only 2 were from Fergie’s reign. It was difficult to
feel any affinity with the entire squad. The type of football was completely
different from the United I have known for the past 12 years watching them
play.
At the end after the final whistle, they lost 2-1. Usually, I
would feel disappointed for them but all that was left was indifference. Turned
off the television and went to sleep, the club that I have strongly supported
has now completely disappeared.
