Manchester United, arguably one of the most famous clubs in world football has been going through a very underwhelming time since the departure of legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013. Since then, Manchester United have been through 5 managers including David Moyes, Ryan Giggs as a caretaker, Louis Van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, and currently have Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the helm. The club is still run by the Glazer family who have spent £840 million on transfers since Ferguson left which has gained Manchester United a total of 1 FA Cup, 1 Europa League, and 1 League cup.

This has been nowhere near good enough to the standards that are expected at Manchester United considering they are the most successful team in England with 20 league titles and were consistently competing at a high level in the champions league while playing under Ferguson. A particular low point for Manchester United fans is that with their downfall has seen the rise of rival clubs such as Manchester City, Chelsea and more recently Liverpool who have all seen better silverware such as Champions Leagues and Premier League titles come into their trophy rooms. Liverpool are looking very likely to win the 2019/20 Premier League which would put them onto 19 league titles, threatening Manchester United’s dominance at the top of English Football.

Manchester United have decided to attempt to rebuild by buying in and using homegrown young talent such as buying Aaron Wan Bissaka from Crystal Palace and Daniel James from Swansea while also using players from the club’s youth academy such as Scott Mctominay and Brandon Williams. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said that he has a 5 year plan to get the club back to the top however fans seem to have ran out of patience with the current boss and would like someone new in charge.
