PETER CROUCH: Why the shock? This is Manchester United's natural place now. They are in the shadow of former glories, and weighed down by the pressure of the past

Picture me sat upright in a plush chair, looking earnestly at a presenter. Seconds after full-time, we are in the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand at Old Trafford, fans peering through the glass.

The scene is set. The inquest begins. I look out to the pitch, gesticulating towards the grass.

This is Manchester United. Manchester United Football Club. It's nowhere near good enough. Look around, the history of this place.

Manchester United are nowhere near good enough and are deservedly struggling this season
Quite a lot of United's players will be blaming Ralf Rangnick for their miserable campaign

A free tip for any budding pundits out there: always add Football Club on the end for greater emphasis.
