Manchester United once the biggest football club in the world has not won the English Premier League since 2013. The question is why? Here are the reasons below.
- 1) When Sir Alex Ferguson left the club after two decade he handed over his reign to his fellow Scot David Moyes. Everybody thought that he will continue to win league and everything like his fellow country man did. But when he started his tenure some of the best players either left the club or got retired. So he has to start from scratch and he needed time which he did not get.
- 2) David Moyes never got the time he needed to build up a squad that will fight for tittle and he got fired within 10 months. And that was the start of downfall of Manchester United.
3) Then came Louis Van Gaal with a proven record. Because wherever he went he won tittles . But when he came here he went to methodical and restricted his players to follow his instruction. He did not allowed his players to play freely and got sacked on 2016.
4) After Van Gaal came the special one Jose Mourinho. Everybody thought that here comes the messiah who will deliver everything that was eluded them for the last couple of years. As expected he won two major trophies( EFL CUP and EUROPA LEAGUE) in his first year. But he failed to win the PREMIER LEAGUE with Manchester United for which he was brought on. The main reason for the failure was his big ego and disagreement with some of the senior players regarding playing style and eventually sacked.
5) When Jose Mourinho got sacked Manchester United turned their head towards Qle Gunnar Solskjaer. As far as his performance concerned he finished third and second position in his two years of leading time and got sacked next season.
6) Now came the professor of football Ralf Rangnick as a stop gap manager. He tried his best but failed and as expected got sacked.
7) after Ralf Rangnick got sacked Eric Ten Hag became the next manager. His first mistake was to kick out Cristiano Ronaldo who was their best goal scorer. Apart from that he brought some of his old club’s players who failed to deliver. From then on he has not found the right mantra of ultimate success which is Premier League.
This year also they started poorly with 3 points from 3 games and now stand in 14th in the league table. When Sir Jim Ratcliffe bought the football division of Manchester United everyone expected that something new will come up but he also made some mistake.
First he made the biggest mistake by keeping Erik Ten Hag as manager. Erik Ten Hag has nothing to give as a manager. He should have been dismissed as soon as possible.
if you look at the time after Sir Alex Farguson not a single coach got the time they needed to build a side who can fought for tittles.
In modern football you got to have patience and should have a clear project and a certain time frame to be able to form a good team.
Any way we are expecting some good things to watch and write about Manchester United in the coming month.
