The Brazilian embodies everything wrong with United's recent past: an overpriced, overpaid, physically compromised has-been
. Erik ten Hag’s post-match perambulation about the pitch looked vaguely ridiculous, his obvious lightness of bearing inviting questions about his role in this debacle as much as the awful Casemiro’s.
The Brazilian, of course, symbolises the past. Echoes of the old United resound in him, an overpriced, overpaid, physically-compromised has been. And that might be flattering him. United wanted him gone in the summer but there was no one daft enough to do what they did, shell out on the shell of a name.Ineos have moved at pace to renew the club and set United on a different path. The lingering dependence on the old framework demonstrates how bumpy the road ahead might yet be.
Back then there were some shards of light, or De Ligt as the case might be. In those early stages Matthijs De Ligt looked to the manor born. Little wonder thousands in Munich signed a petition to keep him. At 25 he is both young and experienced, a figure with the potential to give United what Virgil van Dijk offers Liverpool, regal authority.
