"It probably depends who you ask. If you ask a fan, they want to be back to winning the league every year for the next 20 years like they did ... this time of football it is almost impossible, to do that with so many other clubs having that many good players around. It's tough."
"I think obviously they want to get back to that to being stable as a top club, but even being there, winning the FA Cup and the Carabao in the last two seasons is something that any other club would be proud of to have done. Then there is also the size and the image and the feeling at United -- it's like it's not good enough. I think hopefully that will change. Even the Carabao [Cup] is a small thing, but at that moment it is a big thing."
Former-player punditry and negative commentary undermine Manchester United's squad morale and add pressure through intense media attention. Expectations that the club must win the Premier League every season are unrealistic given the current competitive landscape and the quality across many clubs. Domestic trophies such as the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup represent meaningful achievements that would make other clubs proud. The club's global size and image amplify criticism and foster a sense that accomplishments are inadequate. A shift toward realism and greater appreciation for domestic successes would alleviate pressure on players and fans.
