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.

Not really, there are better ways to make money from football than more games. Just look at american football. They play 17 games once a week. And its the most commercialised sport in the world.

There are ways to make stupid amounts of money without running the players into the ground.

But either way fans get fucked. Either through paying more for TV for more games or through a worse experience with mid game ads

NFL squads are literally 100 players.
