What I truly adore about the ‘DNA’ theme is that it is implicitly a rejection of everything that has been done to try to improve the club post-Ferguson, Ratliffe-driven or otherwise. Anything that Rangnick or Ashworth pushed is as tainted as Moyes was when they walked him out the door. They are going right back to 2013.

It also seems to suggest the idea that Ferguson’s teams were rigid and didn’t change from 1987 til 2013.

2013? They are going back to 93. “United play with width” is such a universal trait that its like saying Utd DNA is “starting the game with 11 players, one of whom is a goalie”, but also you have to go back to the Giggs/Kanchelskis side since it was such a notable part of their game. Maybe RVN coming in gave Becks the incentive to concentrate on staying wide a bit more to get crosses into him, but there there was nothing identifiably United about that.

My memory of Man Utd growing up was a team that got the ball forwards quickly and had two strikers. Playing ‘wide’ was, in my opinion, more of a function of quick transition rather than a focus to get the ball out there.

Yeah and it was just how football was back then. That classically Utd side of 93/94 was not much different in shape or approach than the Blackburn side they were competing with, with Ripley and Wilcox out wide pumping balls into the box for Shearer and Sutton.

Not to mention the odd amount of injury time they would find if they were losing or drawing.

“After lurching from one disaster to another, Ratcliffe comes across as an incompetent clown turning the club into a circus,” said the 1958 group in a statement.
