A feast for giants, Manchester United drinks bitter wine alone? - An in-depth look at the dilemma behind the Red Devils' Europa League draw
The picture comes from the Internet
European football, there is never a shortage of excitement, when Barcelona won seven consecutive victories in La Liga, Arsenal and Liverpool in the English League Cup, enjoying the joy of victory, the old giants Manchester United unexpectedly overturned in the first game of the Europa League, at home by the Eredivisie team Twente 1-1 draw, this draw, like a basin of cold water to extinguish the expectations of fans, but also made Manchester United once again become the laughing stock of public opinion
Was this game just a casual mistake, or did it expose the Red Devils' deeper predicament?
1. The numbers don't lie: the huge gap in strength on paper
Judging from the strength of the two teams on paper before the game, Manchester United has an absolute advantage, the Red Devils' starting lineup is worth as much as 419 million euros, while Twente is only 37.45 million euros, the difference between the two is more than ten times, such a gap, as if the game has not even started, has predicted the end
In the world of football, statistics are never the only factor that determines the outcome of a game, and Twente's tenacious defence and sharp counter-attacks have shown the world that they have a desire to win, even against strong opponents
2. Fatal Mistake: Eriksen's "Ice and Fire"
In the first half, it was with his goal that the Red Devils broke the deadlock and took the lead, and in the second half, Eriksen's fatal mistake allowed Twente to seize the opportunity and equalize
After the game, Eriksen's mistake became the target of criticism from fans and the media, should we reflect on what caused the experienced midfielder's mistake to be so low-level? Is it a slight enemy, fatigue, or a flaw in the tactical arrangement?

3. Tactical puzzle: Ten Hag's "Manchester United transformation" has a long way to go
Ten Hag has been working on a comprehensive revamp for United since taking charge of Old Trafford last season and will be looking to replicate his success at Ajax to build a dynamic squad that can play both attack and defence
Roma was not built in a day, and Manchester United's road to transformation is destined to be full of thorns, judging from this game, Manchester United lack effective organization and creativity in the attacking end, and the defensive side has also exposed a lot of problems, Ten Hag's tactical philosophy still needs time to instill, and the players also need time to adapt
Fourth, the death of the giants: Manchester United's plight is not unique
In fact, Manchester United's predicament is not unique, looking at the entire European football scene, many old giants have fallen into varying degrees of difficulties, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus and other former hegemons are now struggling to return to the top
From the perspective of the external environment, the competition in European football is becoming increasingly fierce, the rising of emerging forces, and the impact on traditional giants is increasing
5. Rebuilding brilliance: Manchester United need more patience and support
What United need is more patience and support in the face of difficult situations, fans should give the team and the coach more time, and management needs to give Ten Hag more support in terms of recruitment and team building
The picture comes from the Internet
Roma wasn't built in a day and United's road to revival is bound to be challenging, but we are confident that with the Red Devils coming together and believing in their faith, they will be able to return to their former glory
6. Conclusion: When will Manchester United raise a glass again?
The Europa League draw is a wake-up call for Manchester United, the Red Devils need to face up to their problems and find a solution to them as soon as possible, the big club feast continues, and it remains to be seen when Manchester United will be able to raise a glass again
7. Deep Thinking:
