Manchester United fans, let's not talk about the past today, only about the future. In the news, the Ratcliffe boss has just become part of the owner of Manchester United, and he fired a cannon as soon as he came up, which reminds people of Sir Alex Ferguson's bold words back then. Having said that, however, the goals and ambitions of this new boss do give us a glimmer of anticipation.
First of all, when it comes to the positioning of the stadium and the club, Ratcliffe seems to have the intention of making a big move. He mentioned the need for a big stadium in the north of England, which is not only an investment in Manchester United, but more like a commitment to English football. You know, all the big games are in London, and that's a bit unfair to our fans in the north. A new stadium means more games, more intense atmosphere, and maybe our home advantage will be even more pronounced as a result.
But what's even more exciting is Ratcliffe's positioning for United's future. He said Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world and must compete for the league title. I don't know what you're feeling when you hear this, but I'm excited and nervous anyway. It's exciting that someone finally dares to speak out about our goals; The nervous thing is, this goal is not small, can it be achieved?
The opponents will always be those two old rivals, Manchester City and Liverpool. There is a Ferguson-era flavor of Ratcliffe's words: "They are enemies, and there is nothing more satisfying than to pull them down from dominance." I think every Manchester United fan will be enthusiastic when they hear this. It's true that we've been a bit far behind these two clubs in recent years, but that doesn't mean we're throwing in the towel. There's competition, there's progress, isn't it?
Ratcliffe's short-term and long-term goals give the impression that he has a clear plan for the management of the club. In the short term, he hopes to make the most of his club's potential and aim to play in next season's Champions League; In the long run, it's about getting Manchester United back into the top clubs. He did not shy away from the difficulties, it takes time and the patience of the fans. To be honest, as a long-time fan, I really have this patience. After all, we've been through that much, haven't we?
Finally, I would say that Ratcliffe's arrival may really make a difference for Manchester United. But no matter what, the spirit of Manchester United will not change, which is to keep chasing wins and keep moving forward. It's good that the new owner has ambition and a plan, but what we want to see as fans is every effort and every improvement on the pitch. Manchester United, the Red Devils forever, let's look forward to the future together!
