Liverpool is a role model. Manchester United has not rebuilded for many years, but has been replacing it.

After more than half a month, Manchester United did not have the good luck of the last time. One opportunity that was not an absolute chance made Tottenham score the only goal in the game. Manchester United was unable to make the world comeback and gave up the European championship. Amorin, who was once known as "unbeatable", faced a bad season where all four major players were gone.

I believe many fans will have a lot of expectations before the game. After all, in the two rounds of the semi-finals, Manchester defeated Bilbao, fourth-placed La Liga, 7-1, and his opponent Tottenham did not dare to underestimate this. At the same time, Manchester United is no stranger to the final venue, and just beat Bilbao here three weeks ago, leaving a wonderful memory.

Unfortunately, even though it was the only team that remained unbeaten before the game, when it came to the final, it was no longer a European team, but a familiar Premier League opponent. Manchester United once again "subdued" in front of Premier League teams, handing over the fourth loss to Tottenham for a single season.

Manchester United's possession rate is as high as 74%, the ratio of shots is 16-3, the number of passes is three times that of the opponent, and the number of corner kicks is also superior, but Tottenham scored with the data of hitting the goal with only one shot, locked the final score.

Some people say that Tottenham's goals are "luck" and Manchester United have many opportunities. If Van Devin had not flew to save the situation, it would be hard to say who would win. But there is no if in the world of football, Manchester United is the losing side. No matter how gorgeous the data is, if you can't score goals, you can't score goals, and you can only gain bitterness.

Loss of a game often magnifies a lot of contradictions. After the game, at the press conference, Amorin talked about the issue of leaving the team again, making it clear that if the board of directors feels that it is not suitable for the team, it will choose to leave without hesitation and there is no need to discuss the issue of compensation. This statement is very different from Tenhager's remarks after his defeat. The two coaches have completely different attitudes in the face of defeat.

Moreover, the use of Garnacho caused another story. Amorin rarely "named" and admitted that because Mount had a good performance in the semi-finals, Garnacho had missed some opportunities in the semi-finals, so he finally chose Mount to start, and the Argentinian could only get 20 minutes of playing time.

The remarks were subsequently refuted by Garnacho, who believed that he had played in every game before the final and helped Manchester United advance to the final, but now there are only 20 minutes. For the future, just try to enjoy this summer and see what happens.

This season, Garnacho scored a total of 11 goals in all competitions, second only to Fernandez's 19 goals, making him the second most player in the team. At the same time, there were 10 assists, which was second only to the captain, and was the only winger in the team with two double-digit numbers. This storm is so familiar. Sancho is like this and Rashford is like this. Can you still see Garnacho in Old Trafford next season?

Manchester United lost the UEFA Cup championship, which means they also lost the qualification to the Champions League and can only participate in domestic competitions next season. This is the second time since Sir Ferguson retired. The last time happened after Moyes led the team and won the eighth place in the league.

Losing the European competition qualification also means that Manchester United will reduce a lot of income. After Sir Ratcliff took over, he has been emphasizing the flow, and even the "benefits" of team staff watching the finals were cancelled. Being able to participate in the Champions League is generally believed to bring at least hundreds of millions of revenue. Nowadays, "open source" has also been hit. Should we continue to find ways to "reduce expenditure"?

Losing the Champions League will also bring a blow to future signing work. Old player Tzekeles from Portugal Sports once expressed his desire to participate in the Champions League. Therefore, this center may be difficult for him to join Manchester United. At the same time, many capable players may be discouraged because they do not have the Champions League, and even say that they are afraid because of Manchester United's "chaos".

Every year, Manchester United is talking about reconstruction, but the results of each year are often disappointing. Every summer, Manchester United seems to bring many "sky-high" players. Judging from the actual situation, this is more like a "replacement". One or two players were replaced in each position, and each coach brought a lot of "confidants", which eventually formed huge redundancy, which is what is often called "the tail is too big to lose".

The previous summer, Liverpool sent away many midfielders such as Henderson, Keita, Milner, Fabinho, Firmino and Chamberlain in one go, and brought McAllister, Sobosloy, Heraffenberg and Endo Hang. Klopp created a new lineup in the last year, although he missed the championship in the end and could only win one League Cup.

However, such drastic changes have brought a stable handover to the successor. Slott this season continued his predecessor's thinking and did not make major changes rashly. After running in for a season's lineup, Slott was at ease and Liverpool's performance was becoming more and more stable. Although he had a frustrated moment in the Champions League, he won the Premier League trophy for the second time with an absolute advantage in the league. I believe that Liverpool will still have strong competitiveness in the next few years as Manchester City falls.

Perhaps, Liverpool is the role model that Manchester United should learn from and the players that should not be left behind should be "cleaned up" collectively to get a group of suitable players. If you make small fuss and change some locations, it will be difficult to form greater "combat force". Instead, it will become like a useless person. It is a pity to eat it.

There are three months left, and I believe that Manchester United will undergo great changes. Even Amorin may choose to leave. Reconstruction requires determination, and large-scale replacement is for a longer-term future. If you don’t break, you won’t build it. If you break it, you will be established. If you break it, you will be a new student. You will be ranked 16th in the Premier League and you can’t retreat any longer.
