I think what you're going to have to accept is that unless United are joining their own version of the Bundesliga or Ligue 1, winning all the time is going to be a lot more difficult than it used to be and will only get tougher. The days of United finishing first or second every year are almost certainly over and its through not fault of their own. As more teams get more money, its going to make for a more competitive league with more parity. The 10th best team in the PL now is much better than the 10th best team in the early 2000's. Makes for a better league and more compelling product, but yeah, also means the big boys can't dominate like they're used to.
