Inside Manchester United’s Game-Changing Transfer Move That No One Saw Coming
Is this mechanical football the best to watch? No. Would we rather watch players enjoy themselves and play with this indescribable joy that can’t be taught? Yes. But modern football is modern football, and it’s been working for a while now.
Needing a hero also stifles youth integration. Young academy players coming through weren’t entering a functional, well-oiled machine that protected them; they were being thrown in at the deep end. That sort of thing has worked in the past. To be fair, nothing typified this more than when Marcus Rashford played out every club’s dream scenario: the big club giving the opportunity to a young star, and he hits the ground running and never looks back. What a story. You don’t, however, need me to explain why that isn’t the greatest of strategies because you just can’t rely upon it.
