There is a new dimension to the woes that Manchester United is facing as their goalkeeper, David de Gea, has said that someone seems to have cursed them.
De Gea has gone fatalistic after all attempts to make the team wake up continue to fail, with the addition of superstar soccerman Cristiano Ronaldo, achieving nothing this season.
They have also changed managers the way the chameleon changes colours, yet they are not making a headway.
Perhaps this is the reason the keeper says there must be an evil force tormenting them.
In an interview with ‘El Pais’, he says,”I think someone has put a curse on us or something. The truth is I don’t know what’s going on, I really don’t.
“People always ask me and we talk about it as team-mates and we just say ‘we don’t know what’s happening’.
“We should have competed for more trophies, bigger titles, but I just don’t know why this team doesn’t function.”
Reports add that United’s main focus this term is finishing in the top four with the Premier League title beyond them. They were dumped out of the Carabao Cup early on before Middlesbrough ended their FA Cup hopes last week in a penalty shootout.
The Champions League remains their only hope of silverware this term. Ralf Rangnick’s side will take on Atletico Madrid in the last 16 later this month.
