Un triunfo ante el cuadro de Manchester servía para definir una temporada mientras que ahora se ha convertido prácticamente en anecdótico.
Ganar al United hace unos años, especialmente durante la época de Sir Alex Ferguson, era razón para festejar una fecha única. En 2013 el West Brom incluso sacó a la venta los ejemplares en vídeo de su triunfo en Old Trafford como algo para recordar. No era para menos. Aunque ahora eso es distinto porque sorprender al cuadro de Solskjaer ha dejado de ser histórico para convertirse en rutinario, prácticamente anecdótico. El United no asusta o, como mínimo, sus rivales han dejado de temerle.
Seis años instalados en la mediocridad tienen la culpa en una institución que no ha sabido digerir el paso del tiempo. Sin ser excepcional, al West Ham le sirvieron dos acciones puntuales y el ser ordenado para derrotar a un United que no ha ganado en doce de los diecisiete encuentros desde que Solskjaer se hizo con el puesto. Difuminado desde que le renovaron, el noruego no encuentra la regularidad en el juego ni en los resultados y algunos empiezan a cuestionar su capacidad.
Abonado al conformismo de entrar en Champions, a las puertas de Halloween este United se ha despedido una temporada de discutirle la Premier al Liverpool y al City. Queda mucho pero no se contemplan grandes cambios a corto ni a medio plazo en un grupo falto de calidad que en estos últimos meses ha perdido ante equipos menores como el Brighton, el Crystal Palace, el Cardiff, el Everton e incluso el Derby County, que eliminó al United de Mourinho de la Copa de la Liga.
Una club que a menudo ha ido a la deriva, huérfano de liderazgo en el plano deportivo, sobre todo sin la presencia de Pogba. La escena en el Olímpico de Londres fue la mejor radiografía de lo que le ocurre al United, que no provoca que pasen cosas sino que trata de reaccionar ante la iniciativa de los demás. Sin despeinarse demasiado, el West Ham se llevó los tres puntos e hirió al United, aunque esta vez no comercializarán ninguna película. Cosas de acostumbrarse a la rutina.
