Does anybody remember back in the summer of 2021?Cristiano Ronaldo was being linked to Manchester City and, when it turned out that it was all [url=https://www.dolphinsedge.com/miami-dolphins-jackets]Miami Dolphins Jackets[/url] one big ruse by Jorge Mendes, there were some fans who were legitimately a bit gutted that this was the case.After all, not many clubs could say theyd mi sed out on both Lionel Me si AND Cristiano Ronaldo in the same transfer window. It was almost an achievement to mi s out on both somehow.I was personally in the camp of not wanting Cristiano Ronaldo anywhere near the club, for reasons which Im probably legally not able to go into any detail about, but ultimately, as the day came where it appeared to be inevitable that he would join City, I had sadly convinced myself that maybe, just maybe, on a pure footballing level, it might not be the worst decision in the world. After all, he a goalscorer. He put the ball in the back of the net; something were desperately mi sing.When Manchester United completely and utterly GAZUMPED City by taking Ronaldo out from under their rivals feet, they were overjoyed. The Instagram post announcing his return to the club broke records. It was, in true United fashion, a roaring commercial succe s. It was a romantic story, to see an ex-player return in the twilight of his career for both the love of the game and also an all-time Premier League high wage of 600,000 per week.The reality of the situation, as has since been proven, is that this signing was yet another symptom of the complete and utter shambles that Manchester United have become post-Sir Alex Ferguson - and it is a thing of beauty.If you look at Manchester Citys club hierarchy, from top to bottom, there is a unified me sage throughout on how the club wants to be run and the style of football the club wishes to play; a style which predates Pep Guardiola and will likely continue long after he leaves.Every Manchester City signing is made with that very vision in mind, and any transfer has to be signed off by the manager, Txiki Begiristain, Ferran Soriano and even Khaldoon Al Mubarak himself. There is little room for error, though its difficult to make too many errors when this method has been perfected, which in the last five to six years it certainly has been.Look acro s Greater Manchester, towards Salford, and youll see the antithesis of this approach. Where there is a clear structure in the blue half, youll see none whatsoever in the red.The fact there is still no Director of Football after nearly a decade [url=https://www.dolphinsedge.com]NFL Miami Dolphins Jersey[/url] of no Ferguson, with transfer matters having seemingly entirely been dealt with by Ed Woodward until his recent departure, is beyond comical. Darren Fletcher was hired as some kind of Technical Director, though it appears that even the clubs manager, a man who sits next to him on the bench during games, has no clue what he actually does on a daily basis.The approach of United, to sign players based on what is ultimately , has caused them to sign a non-descript mix of players that are either players who were linked with City (Harry Maguire, Fred), are clinging on because of big contracts handed out years ago (Phil Jones, Nemanja Matic, Je se Lingard), are genuinely talented and being almost entirely mismanaged (Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane) or players who are from a previous managers reign and have no place in the current managers plans (Aaron Wan-Bi saka, Anthony Martial, Donny van de Beek).Its easy to say that Guardiola has had nearly six years in charge to put his stamp on the team at this point, and the squad is made up almost entirely [url=https://www.dolphinsedge.com/justin-coleman-jerseys]Justin Coleman Jersey[/url] of players who were signed by the man himself, but you can bet your bottom dollar that the day Pep leaves, a manager will be appointed who is best suited to manage the current squad.A look at the inconsistency of appointments at United, from David Moyes to Louis van Gaal to Jose Mourinho to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and now to Ralf Rangnick, tells you that what City have in regards to footballing infrastructure is not to be taken for granted.Its amazing to look at the gulf in quality between the two teams today and think that its only thirteen years since those infamous words, when Ferguson was asked if United would ever be derby day underdogs, .Scroll to ContinueOf course, it has happened in his lifetime.Even just the year after he left the club, Manchester United were torn apart not once but twice by Pellegrinis side, as Moyes took a 7-1 aggregate battering in a season where United ultimately finished 7th in the league. Manchester United are yet to register a league finish higher than City since Fergusons retirement, with the average points difference between the two being 15 points.Whats the point of this article? I dont even know. I just felt like basking in the fact that were signi****ntly better than Manchester United right now.Theyve been in utter chaos since that red-nosed Scotsman decided that he could only prop up the Glazers for so long, complicit in their destruction of the clubs finances which he will always know was ultimately his own fault for having a paddy about a horse. Its fitting that the most odious football manager in recent history, rivalled only po sibly by Jose Mourinho, is almost entirely responsible for the long and painful downfall of the empire which he [url=https://www.dolphinsedge.com/raekwon-davis-jerseys]Raekwon Davis Jersey[/url] created.Whilst City have put in place football men, who know the game and have CVs which back this up, Manchester United have hired investment bankers and commercial experts, and on the commercial side theres no denying that theyre a juggernaut which cannot be rivalled. Though its this commercial thinking which contributes to signing Cristiano Ronaldo when he just simply isnt what the football club genuinely needs.City are building for the here and now, as well as for the future, whilst United are trying desperately to reclaim their past.The likes of Solskjaer refusing to park in Fergusons parking spot at Carrington, become a club where the likes of Carrick and Fletcher are given roles which are well above their level of experience, Evra and Ferdinand sending Ronaldo frantic voice notes and WhatsApp me sages as he flies over to Manchester from Portugal to try and convince him to come back to United, as if he would need any further encouragement than the half a million a week theyre offering him.The whole thing is just a desperate attempt to reclaim their former glory by refusing to let it go.Many had their i sues when the rocked up into town, [url=https://www.dolphinsedge.com/jevon-holland-jerseys]Jevon Holland Jersey[/url] yet its their disconnected, in many ways dispa sionate approach, which has allowed them to make decisions which have occasionally been unpopular (European Super League, anybody?) but are ultimately the decisions which have turned City into a powerhouse. You still see the likes of Shaun Goater and Mike Summerbee around the club but theyre amba sadors, nothing more. When Guardiola leaves, the club wont turn to Paul Dickov to take over as manager because of a famous goal
