Another Potential Flop for United?
Manchester United are at it again, sending scouts to watch SK Brann’s Eivind Helland. A “giant” centre-back, they say. But let’s be honest, United have been linked with more players than they’ve won trophies lately. It’s all hype until proven otherwise.
The club’s recruitment has been a shambles for years. They need leaders, not just big lads who look good on paper. Helland might be tall, but can he actually defend? United’s backline has been a circus, and adding another clown won’t fix it.
Scouting is one thing, but where’s the follow-through? United have a history of dithering in the transfer market. By the time they make a decision, the player could be snapped up by a club with a plan. It’s not about finding the next big thing; it’s about finding the right thing.
And let’s talk about the current squad. Too many players are coasting, collecting paychecks without putting in the graft. If Helland joins, he better be ready to roll up his sleeves. United need warriors, not prima donnas.
The club’s standards have slipped. They used to sign world-class players, now they’re linked with anyone who can kick a ball. It’s time to stop the nonsense and get serious. If Helland is the answer, then prove it on the pitch. Otherwise, it’s just another name on a long list of failed promises.
United fans deserve better. They want a team that fights for every point, not one that crumbles under pressure. If Helland can bring some backbone to the defense, great. But until then, it’s all talk. The club needs to stop living in the past and start building a future. Enough with the excuses. Get it right, or get out.
