United We Fall


The football world was awake today with the news that Manchester United have been booted out of the UEFA Champions League after a dramatic 3-2 defeat at the hands of Bundesliga side RB Leipzig.

For a team that started the Champions League so authoritatively with a 2-1 away victory over finalists Paris Saint-Germain; to be booted out of the group stage is certainly a shock to the system.

Perhaps not surprisingly; recriminations have been flying hard and fast; with the year-long sojourn over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's tenure continuing to rumble; the Paul Pogba episode going into overdrive with agent Mina Raiola's 'mother of all ultimatums'; pundits like Jamie Carragher driving the boot in; and 'keeper David de Gea under immense pressure again.

So where now for Man United? Should Solskjaer stay or leave? What is to blame for their malaise? And how about Paul Pogba???
