Manchester United can't lift their miserable run. Nothing seems to be working for them since the time Sir Alex Ferguson left the club in 2013. United fans saw many managers come and go since then. However, no one achieved any kind of success except Jose Mourinho. He won the Europa League in 2017.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was appointed as their boss after they parted ways with Jose Mourinho. Solskjaer started his Manchester United spell on a high note. However, he later faced a decline like other managers before him. However, a majority of fans believe that the reason behind Manchester United's miserable run of form is not their manager. Instead, it is their board, especially vice-chairman Ed Woodward.
Gary Neville on Ed Woodward: “If you don’t lose your job for essentially overseeing that investment, that wage bill, and putting that team out on the pitch then I have to say something is really wrong." #mulive [telegraph]
