Sheringham's treble and optimism for Manchester United's future

"We interviewed Teddy Sheringham last week", this is what the website specialised in sports articles, Betway Insider, says when mentioning an interview conducted on 31st May with the former player and champion of the treble, in Manchester United's golden era: Teddy Sheringham. And it was on the occasion of the FA Cup final, which pitted Manchester United against Manchester City in this season 2022/23, and in which finally the 'Red Devils' had to accept a painful defeat against the Cityzens by a total score of 2-1.
A clash that would see the Sky Blue crowned with their second title, with the treble within their sights. And it was something that Sheringham himself, who in his interview with Betway already expressed his concern about a possible defeat of the Red Devils, could already happen: "Things can go either way in one-off games. You're playing against the best team in the world, the way I see it, and it's going to be very difficult to win".
Let's take a look at the optimistic analysis of an ex-footballer and lover of the Red Devils, who, despite the result, gives an in-depth review of the club and points out that: "I think it's still positive. I think when you you're playing in cup finals, you've got to say it's positive".
H2 - Thoughts on Ten Hag's first season?
In this case, Sheringham says that despite Cristiano Ronaldo's impossible situation at the start of the season, the Dutchman's side have been able to bounce back and despite constant stumbles at the start of the campaign, they have finally won a domestic title and qualified for next year's Champions League. He praised Ten Hag's ability to build such a strong team in such a short space of time.
H2 - Who have been the most outstanding players this season?
For Sheringham, of all the players the team has had, Casemiro's work stands out. A player who he forgives the red cards of the season for providing good passing statistics, as well as having the potential of scoring goals. In comparisons, Teddy likens him to Roy Keane, the midfielder who captained Manchester United to the triumphant treble.
H2 - The attacking drama and Maguire's problem
As for the problems in the team, he highlighted the problem of not having a solid '9' in the Red Devils' squad. The striker stated the need for the Mancunians to sign Harry Kane, a player who he believes fits the profile of the club. Regarding the Maguire controversy, he believes the solution is for the player to leave the club in order to have a more important role in the national team and thus be ready to go with Southgate at Euro 2024.
H2 - His past: a legend's career
Throughout his seventeen seasons as a professional footballer, the player has played for a number of top English clubs and wanted to talk about the future of each one.
H3: his beginnings at Nottingham and his breakthrough at West Ham
One of the teams where he started to succeed in the Premier League would be Nottingham Forest, a team he now praises after avoiding relegation and admires the development of Steve Cooper, a manager who despite the pressure has managed to secure safety. As for West Ham, who were the next club he went to after Nottingham, he is delighted for Moyes' side and their recent Conference League title.
H3: His historic season in United's treble (1999) and his retirement at Tottenham
However, his best memories remain with the unstoppable Manchester United of the nineties with whom he won the treble in the 1998-99 season, winning the FA Cup, the Premier League and the Champions League, beating Bayern Munich in the final with a goal and an assist from Teddy.
Already a legend, Sheringham moved to Tottenham, a club he would spend seven years with and now criticises harshly after failing to qualify for Europe next year. He stresses the need to look at how well Brighton have performed this season and sign their two key players: manager Roberto De Zerbi and striker Evan Ferguson.
