Defending Champions League Winners United.Defending Premier League United United.Treble winner United.These events occured not too long ago.Now it seems Man U is on a slight decline.3rd place in Premier League.UEFA Champions league draw against Villareal.I personally think that it could be because of gaffer Alex Ferguson's overconfidence.
The glorious events highlighted in yellow occured when Fergie revised his squad radically.But this year,he only secured Dimitar Berbatov to help in the defense of the double trophies and the champion's badge and United glory.It may also be because that he has made his squad smaller and that his men were injured in the crucial early part of the season(the early and late parts of a season is the most important).
I think the shrinking of his squad has something 2 do with it.If he had kept Saha and Silvestre,he can still back up his regulars.I think his transfers shows that he is confident that the present squad is capable of defending the titles,making its playing very predictable.
Fergie should do more buying in the January transfer market and keep his stable from jealous clubs.
