Dimitar Berbatov has come out to say that it is really painful to see Manchester United struggling in the EPL 14th position.
The Red Devils have been poor since after their first game of the 2019-20 season and they are currently 15 points behind leaders Liverpool in the league.
It has been impressive results lately though, as they sealed a 1-1 draw with Jurgen Klopp’s men at Old Trafford and then followed it up with a 1-0 victory in the Europa League against Partizan Belgrade.
However, Berba is still not satisfied and has said it is crazy to think about how low the club has fallen.
His words, “We all know where Manchester United are in the table at the moment, and let me tell you, nobody wants to see them there. It makes me feel like sh*t, it’s not good and I don’t think anybody wants to look at the table
“I don’t think anybody connected with the club will want to check the table at the moment, when you see a team with the calibre of Manchester United, one of the biggest clubs in the world, and you see where they are in the table it is crazy to think how times have changed.
“The players will know what position they are but I don’t advise them to look at it because it isn’t going to make them feel good. On the other hand, you could say ‘come on boys, look at where we are – do we deserve to be here?’
“Maybe with some of the performances they have produced they deserve to be there and especially if they continue like that, but if they play the way they did like against Liverpool, with aggression and getting in the oppositions’ faces, then things will improve.
“I’ve said it before, but it’s not too late to turn things around. OK, don’t be looking at first position but fourth isn’t far off and there is time to get there but they must continue picking up the points, starting with three this weekend against Norwich.”
On their latest win, “It was great to see my mate Anthony Martial get on the score sheet on Thursday night. When you have been out for so long, things are tough. When you are injured you watch your mates train and you are with the physios, you see them putting their boots on, heading out on to the pitch and this can make you sad and depressed.
“You get all these feeling rush to your head and you want to get back as soon as possible and this can lead to mistakes, you could go out there and you’re not quite ready and you could get injured again. So, it’s really important to time right the moment you come back.
“In the case of Martial, to get going again and get a goal will give him even more confidence, especially for a striker.
“But like any other player, the most important thing now is to stay fit, know when to push hard and slowdown in training because when you have so many games you need to know when to save your energy. The last thing he and the club needs is to pick up another injury.”
