MANCHESTER, England : Eleven years ago, Manchester United could make a serious claim to being one of the best teams in Europe. Now, after another limp early Champions League exit, that pinnacle has never felt so far away for this directionless giant.
Their second-leg defeat by Atletico Madrid at Old Trafford on Tuesday night meant they were eliminated at the last-16 stage with a whimper, representing a new nadir as it showed just how far they have fallen, and how much there is still to do to turn things around. Individual quality is worth nothing if there is no game-plan or direction. The club are still not sure who will be the long-term successor to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after the Norwegian was sacked earlier this season, with interim coach Ralf Rangnick unable to rouse United.
Scholes underlines why United have perhaps struggled to move on from the Ferguson glory years. They have fallen so far from grace they are not even close to being as appealing as they once were.
