Former Manchester United player Teddy Sheringham has weighed in on the issue, suggesting that the club lacks strong leaders. He believes that the team's failure to identify and develop players with the right qualities has contributed to their struggles.
Sheringham praised the leadership qualities of Sir Alex Ferguson, who was known for identifying and developing players with the potential to become top players. He cited examples of players such as Gary Pallister, Roy Keane, Wayne Rooney, and Rio Ferdinand, who were all signed by Ferguson and went on to become key players for the team.
However, Sheringham believes that the club's current approach to player recruitment has failed to replicate this success. He suggests that the team is valuing the wrong qualities in players and that this is why many top players are choosing to leave the club in search of better opportunities elsewhere.
One player who has been linked with a transfer is Scott McTominay, who has been praised for his leadership qualities and his ability to perform under pressure. Sheringham believes that McTominay would have been a great asset to the team, but that the club failed to recognize his potential and instead allowed him to leave.
According to Sheringham, the key to success for Manchester United lies in identifying and developing players with the right qualities, such as leadership and a strong work ethic. He believes that the club needs to go back to the drawing board and reassess its approach to player recruitment in order to find success again.
