Manchester United has struggled to maintain their consistency this season. Erik ten Hag and his team have struggled to maintain their position from last season, with the team languishing in tenth place on the points table. Fans hoped the team could do well after parting ways with Cristiano Ronaldo. The Al Nassr captain had bashed his team in an old interview, claiming that the team’s training facilities had not developed for a long time. Now his opinion has been mirrored by a former United star who had the same things to say about his former club.

The team is yet to open their account in the Champions League, while they continue to languish in the middle half of the points table in the Premier League.

Former Manchester United player Charlie Savage went all in on his former club during a recent interview. The son of Robbie Savage graduated from United’s academy in 2021 but left the club and moved over to Reading this season. The twenty-year-old, similar to Cristiano Ronaldo, bashed the club, claiming the club’s training facilities were the same as his new club.
“Reading’s training ground- I heard it was good, but I didn’t realize it was this good. Honestly, I’d say it’s on par with United at the minute.”
