Vera's former player Abang Lajo was a guest on talkSPORT program, bluntly pointed out the potential crisis of Manchester United.

At present, Manchester United has been making great strides in the UEFA Cup, and double-winning Bilbao in the semi-finals to advance to the finals, and will compete with Tottenham for the ticket to the Champions League next season. The situation seemed to be very good, but Abanglaho poured cold water on Manchester United. He praised Manchester United's coach for being rational and honest, and that he could prevent the team's boss from being blinded by the UEFA Cup champion, and also pointed out the problem to the point - if Manchester United wants to make a difference in the Champions League next season, they must sign up.

Abanglaho believes that Manchester United's existing lineup is difficult to cope with the high-intensity competition in the Champions League and needs fresh blood to improve its strength. Not only that, the team also needs to clear redundant staff and optimize the lineup structure. Otherwise, if Manchester United uses its current lineup to compete in the Champions League, it is very likely that they will fail in the group stage, which will embarrass the entire Premier League.

In fact, judging from Manchester United's performance this season, problems such as unstable offensive firepower and frequent defensive loopholes all reflect the shortcomings of the lineup. Even if they enter the Champions League and face the top European giants, Manchester United's lineup depth is different from the strength of the players. Abanglaho's remarks undoubtedly sounded the alarm for Manchester United management. If they want to defend Premier League honors in the Champions League next season, Manchester United must speed up the pace of signings and create a more competitive lineup, otherwise what awaits them will be embarrassing defeats.
