adminLONDON. — Manchester United risk repeating errors which led to Liverpool’s problems in the early 1990s, says Alan Hansen.
Hansen was part of the title-winning Liverpool side of 1990, but they have failed to win the league since.
New United boss David Moyes made just one notable summer signing in Marouane Fellaini, and his side have made their worst league start for 24 years.
“Liverpool began to flounder because they failed to replace good players with better ones,” said Hansen. The former Scotland defender added: “The club has paid a heavy price in the two decades since.” United won the English Premier League last season under Sir Alex Ferguson, who retired at the end of the campaign and recommended fellow Scot Moyes as his successor.
But the 50-year-old has had a tough first three months in charge at Old Trafford. United failed in their attempts to sign Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas in the summer and were also unsuccessful in moves for Everton defender Leighton Baines, Athletic Bilbao midfielder Ander Herrera and Real Madrid left-back Fabio Coentrao. — BBC Sport.
