I mean the amount Injuries players are getting not just at United but other teams as well. Surely there is enough evidence out there footballers play too much.
But this is what capitalism does to a product, its squeezing as much money as they can out of product while the quality collapses.
Eh only the best of best are playing too much. And they get compensated more, waaayyyy more than enough for that.
It's not about compensation, but about the threshold of what the human body can endure. Players are getting injured so often they cannot catch a break to heal properly, because there is yet another game and their teammates are getting injured too, because they had to play more to cover for other injured players. Vicious circle.
Not really trye, teams in league 2 for example play a shit ton of games every season.
When you have so many players getting injured, especially young players, there is no point talking about money, it could hinder football quality for a whole generation.
Every team in the Championship plays 48 games, every team in League 1 and League 2 plays 51 if they get knocked out of every cup at the first possible opportunity and don't make the promotion playoffs.
