Are Manchester United Heading For an Uncertain Future?

Are Man United heading for the door? It seems so.

US Bank AIG was recently purchased by UAE apparently, well now AIG have come out and said that AIG will not be renewing their sponsorship deal with Man United and are currently seeking a way to end the sponsorship deal earlier than contracted.

So the biggest shirt sponsorship in English football history is about to end. What will United do? This could be seen as a financial set-back especially when at a time like this companies investing big money are hard to find.

On top of that there is the impending doom of loosing who is viewed as the best manager in English football history, Sir Alex Ferguson (I beg to differ but there you go).

Some United fans see that as no problem but most are worried and right they should be because with a new manager comes new change.

Sir Alex Ferguson has already started to draft in as many youth players as possible from other clubs and academies from around the world and, may I add, no one of any real quality and just a couple of average joes.

Alex is trying to stabilise Man United for a rocky future before he jumps ship.

Then there is the impending departure of Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Carlos Tevez, and Edwin Van Der Sar, three of them nearing retirement and the other surely on his way out as United cannot pay for him.

United's current position in the Premier League would state that there are no problems but if you add all the pro's and con's up you will get a clearer picture.

With the financial crisis in full flow it is said that it will get a lot more worse before it starts to take a turn for the better.

United have just reached the Carling Cup final of 08-09 but have been further hit with more injuries, what will this do to their title hopes as the injuries are with key players.

Anderson was stretchered off and Rafael Da Silva picked up a hamstring problem. Young centre-half Jonny Evans has an ankle injury, Nani and Gary Neville also picked up knocks.

With an FA Cup fourth round tie on Saturday against Tottenham Hotspur, Sir Alex Ferguson is already without Rio Ferdinand, Wes Brown, Wayne Rooney, and Patrice Evra and they still have to try retain the Premier League title.

It is only a matter of time before the banks come calling on United as they are alongside Chelsea, in so much debt they could never pay it off without winning the Champions League four times in a row and the Premier League four times in a row in one season along with high attendance rates four times over with above average stable annual income.

When the banks do come calling what will happen with Cristiano Ronaldo—he is the biggest asset United currently possess and he is wanted by other playboy clubs.

What will United do without Ronaldo, will they survive?

Then there is the impending retirement of their love child Rio Ferdinand, how many years does he have left in him?

Is the future really that bright for Man United?
