United have had their worst season since Ferguson left the club back in 2013. The Red Devils has been on a diminishing course ever since. United haven’t been able to pick themselves up and return to their former glory.

Before the season had started, Critics had claimed this could be United’s best year post, Ferguson. This was due to the inclusion of Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane, and Cristiano Ronaldo. However, this was not enough as United end the season with their worst season with 58 points. Although United’s zero goal difference was the worst part as it meant they conceded as much as they scored.

United’s poor season was due to a lot of reasons. United switched from a counter-attacking playstyle to a possession-based style after the inclusion of Sancho and Ronaldo. However, the players in the squad were unable to adapt as they had not played in a similar style before. This led to a number of players struggling and having a general lack of form. Moreover, the players have been consistently injured which halted their progress and made it difficult for them to find their feet.

However United want to straighten their defence with the addition of Bastoni. Bastoni is one of the best defenders in Serie A. United want to lure him out of Inter however they have got competition as Tottenham are in the race as well. Bastoni is a quick defender and is a giant and is great at duels. He could be the perfect partner for Varane if United ends up signing him.
