Why Manchester United Will Rise

You might have noticed it from the title itself. Yes, I am an Old Trafford faithful. Ever since I started watching football, I knew I was going to support Manchester United. Never occurred to me though, why? Why would I choose Manchester United at times when Chelsea and City looked dominant? Why would I believe United at times when Barcelona and Madrid triumphed in Europe? 

Nevertheless, cutting to the bone of contention, I am a realistic person and I believe that Manchester United will rise and triumph again despite the ongoing crisis in Old Trafford. Rare, yes.

If you have known Premier League long enough or even before it was even established, one thing was certain. Liverpool was the king before 90/91. And look at the records after that. They reached some of their lowest point. I agree, the Champions League finals in 2005 and 2007 did shed glitters of hope and success but no Liverpool fan can hide that that wasn't the Liverpool that should've have been. And now, every football fan believe that such would occur to United. Nope.

Simply, because our wealth and history is there to conceal any cripples and wrinkles present. Woodward might have been horrible at signing players but he definitely got more sponsorship deals to United than any club could've imagined. Bleacher Report identified Manchester United and Barcelona of Spain as the most influential football club in the world, thanks of course to our wealthy sponsorship deals. Money is never a question.

United fans have never forgot to spin the wheel and blame on the American Owners, the Glazers. Look here, I'm not defending them and I, too, feel angry at Glazers for robbing from us for their own deprived times. At the end of this season, I believe funds will be provided to Moyes to make himself count. The sad thing is I predict there will be only one or no signing during this Winter transfer window. Why? Why, well, because we're Manchester United.

Manchester United are one of the very rare list of clubs that still buys players that they see as a long term product at the club. Crisis moulded and panic signings aren't fruitful, we all know that. We-fans-are just desperate to see new faces and hopes at United. Believe it or not, one potential signing can change your season. The Ozil-Arsenal effect anybody? And there are no players out there that can fit into the long term conditions; excluding Herrera of Bilbao and Koke of Madrid. Both are having the time of their lives at this season and selling them at Winter is pure stupidity for any club. Rumours regarding Pogba, Vidal? C'mon. Only Marchisio seems possible, yes but only at the coming summer transfer window.

Moyes, for me is an excellent inch-by-inch Fergie replica, which is the reason why Fergie chose him. His temper, taciturn and calm ethiques at conferences, hardworking ethic, faith in youth and ability to succeed with such low funds is what earned him a move to United. Many United fans were quick to dismiss him and blame him for losses and draws. From my own opinion, the only two faults he did and is still doing is; sacking the entire back room staff and playing Kagawa on your left. 70% of the crisis is due to Woodward's lack of signings and a weakened yet well concealed squad left by Ferguson.

So, to all Old Trafford faithfuls, I would like to say this; 

Give the club sometime and we will rise. Not because of some summer signing or luck, but because we're Manchester United and we'll rise. We always do.
