In a conversation with BBC Sport, former midfielder Andros Townsend shared some noteworthy insights about Manchester United. Assessing the current situation of Manchester United, Andros Townsend shared:
“I don’t think Manchester United is as bad as what the public and experts are saying. I don’t think they are a mess. I just think Manchester United is a team in transition.”
“There are some big gaps, because Erik Ten Hag’s philosophy is high pressing with Bruno Fernandes, Rasmus Hojlund, and his attacking players.”

“Does Ten Hag demand his defensive players to press? Probably not. So, the attacking players will press, and the defenders will drop deep, leaving large gaps.”
“3 or 4 years ago, you could say Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal was a mess, but that was actually a work in progress.”
“Manchester United is not as bad as people think. We need to give them credit for earning 2 points against Liverpool and knocking them out of the FA Cup, right? There’s too much negativity surrounding Manchester United. You turn on the TV, and it’s all former players criticizing Man Utd.”
