When the summer transfer window opened, Portuguese soccer superstar Crowe submitted a transfer request to Manchester United executives, but to this day, he remains alone in Manchester. On Sunday (14th), Crow made his first start of the season away at Binford, but suffered a heartbreaking 0-4 loss. After the game, Crowe was so down in the dumps that he not only refused to respond to a request for an apology from assistant coach McCallum, but even chose to ignore manager Tannhäuser when he brushed past him, as if the captain was oblivious to him.
Throughout the game, Crow's performance was mediocre, he spent 90 minutes in the booing, and his slow walk off the field at the end of the game was like the walking dead. Despite McCarron urging him to stay and apologize to the away fans along with the rest of his teammates, Crowe chose to ignore it and walked straight to the dressing room. When passing by the frowning Tannhäuser, the two still did not have any physical contact or eye contact, just like passing strangers.
According to the Manchester Evening News, goalkeeper Dickia, midfielders McTomini, Rashford, Erlanga, strikers Bono Fernandes, Wendy Bick and Darroch all apologized in person to the fans, while Halimaguni applauded the fans from afar before heading back to the dressing room with Crowe. It is worth noting that Crowe had left the field early in the warm-up match, and Tannhäuser had publicly accused him of destroying the team spirit, so it will be interesting to see if he will be blamed again this time.
Although Crow's attitude sparked disappointment among fans, there were many who defended him. A netizen left a comment saying, "Crow's anger is completely understandable, this game was lost because of the defense's poor performance, Crow should not be used as a scapegoat every time." Another netizen said, "Crow asked to leave Manchester United precisely to avoid going through a game like this again."
