Cross: It was definitely correct not to go to Manchester United back then, they have been getting worse over the past decade

May 24th reported that Manchester United lost to Tottenham in the UEFA Cup final a few days ago, so they completely missed the Champions League next season. Cross made ruthless criticism of the veteran giant team on a podcast show he hosted with his younger brother, saying that Manchester United may be the most disappointing club in the past decade, and that no Champions League play would be their new normal.

Kroos first said: "It must be said that this is not just a year or two. I think they are getting worse over the past decade. And by the financial and influence of Manchester United, they may be the most disappointing club in the past decade." The reason for the criticism of this German celebrity is that he was close to transferring to Manchester United in 2014, he said: "I started to pay more attention to them because I almost went there," but he eventually chose Real Madrid and won several Champions League titles there. Cross now also joked: "This is definitely a right decision."

Compared to his own success in Spain, Cross only saw the downturn at Manchester United: "No matter who comes, it will be useless - I think it's too unbelievable. What kind of big club is this, what kind of resources does this club have?"

Cross also asserted ruthlessly: "They no longer play any role in the Champions League. This is no longer a stage. This is the new Manchester United. IMHO, if you look at their financial strength, then Let's look at their starting eleven players... There is no doubt that they could have been better than the current 16th place, but this is by no means the top four in the Premier League. "

For Kroos, the root of Manchester United's problem is also clear, that is, the problem is not individual coaches or a brief downturn, but structural failures over the years: "They rarely introduce people from top to bottom is world-class."

Kroos also said that he once hoped that Manchester United could become a top club again, but the reality year after year completely disappointed him.
