Are English Players Important To United's Legacy?
I've been thinking about the impressive foresight of Sir Matt and his decision to go not only into Europe, but also to develop young players and throw them on the pitch. I couldn't help but think about Sir Alex's visionary moves and looked at the current trend of infusing the team with South American and in general foreign talent. I then crossed over the Ronaldo thread and his desire to move onto Spain. Well I'm used to United legends being legendary for far longer than 5 years and wonder if the lack of loyalty to one team comes from the fact that these players are foreign. In my opinion, I think I'd rather take loyalty to my club than trophies, but maybe it's just me.
I look at how players are swapped back and forth between teams in Italy and Spain and I fear that we are losing the soul of our club, the legacy and the loyalty.
