"I think what changed is the amount of players who are not used to playing in that club, he said. Because before, if you change one or two players, these two players adapt to the players who are there already. Now you change almost all the players and they don't know the mentality. So to receive the new message, to understand how the club works, to receive how the fans think, it takes time."
"The ex-Portugal international was a star player for Man Utd in some of Sir Alex Ferguson's best teams, winning four Premier League titles, the Champions League, and other major honours during his time at Old Trafford. Speaking to Give Me Sport, Nani has now discussed what he thinks the issues are with this current crop of players. It's been difficult for United since Ferguson's retirement in 2013, with the team never looking anywhere near those levels since then."
Manchester United has lost the experienced winning mentality because many players lack familiarity with the club's culture and expectations. High squad turnover prevents new signings from learning alongside long-serving veterans who previously helped transmit the club's standards. Frequent wholesale changes mean players arrive without anchors to adapt to the mentality, delaying comprehension of how the club operates and how supporters expect players to perform. These integration delays contribute to poor results and a drop from past levels since the 2013 managerial change. The squad is nevertheless evolving into a new generation and environment, and those developments could produce future success.
