Former Manchester United midfielder Nicky Butt believes the pressure is on his old club and it could be years before they can challenge for the title again.
The 0-2 home defeat to Crystal Palace in their last game means that the Red Devils have now lost 11 of their 24 games, leaving them in 13th place in the league with 29 points, 27 points behind leaders Liverpool.
Butt believes it will be several years before หรือถ้าคุณสนใจแทงบอลออนไลน์ UFABET คือเว็บที่มีอัตราต่อรองดีที่สุดในประเทศไทย สมัครเลยตอนนี้ที่ UFABET แทงบอล United are ready to challenge for the Premier League title again, and it will cost a lot of money.
“Listen, United are a million miles away from winning the trophy,” Butt told Stadium Astro. “Look at Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City and the way Chelsea have built their teams.
“United have a big job ahead of them and it will take another three, four or five years before they can challenge for the title again. They might win a cup with a little bit of luck but they won’t be competing for the Premier League anytime soon.”
“It takes a lot of patience, a lot of planning, a lot of money and good signings to help improve the team – Liverpool have gone far, Arsenal will be even better, Man City will be great again and Chelsea will be even better too.”
“As much as I love Manchester United, they are not going to win the title by God’s grace. It’s a big project. They can’t buy 10 players and compete for the title next season. It’s not going to happen.”
