Why has Manchester United come down?

After the departure of Scottish director, Sir Alex Ferguson, the reds have failed to consolidate an important sports project that allows them to return to achieve important achievements both in their country and in the old continent. Now they only live by memories.

They seem to have lagged behind the times where elite figures such as David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs, Peter Schmeichel, among others, managed to put United in the world football elite, managed by an excellent orchestra conductor like Alex Ferguson.

After the departure of the Scotsman, high-level managers such as Louis Van Gaal and the Portuguese José Mourinho have passed, but their results were negative. However, the Portuguese won the Europa League and the League Cup, but came out the back door because of the poor performance.

According to Fichajes, in the 'Red Devils' more than 1,000 million euros have been invested in heavy incorporations such as the French midfielder Paul Pogba, who continues in the institution, and had problems with the coach, José Mourinho.

Latinamerican Post analyzes this situation that the emblematic English club has experienced in recent years, plunging its fans who still miss Ferguson. Can United one day be the winning team it was before?

What happened to Manchester United?

The renowned Mexican journalist, Marion Reimers, pointed on her YouTube channel, the Reimers Aim, several factors that are necessary to highlight and that have been the cause of the decline of a great team that has many fans around the world.

Reimers said Ferguson was in charge of sports management, detecting new talents and incorporating elite players. “He was the person who structured the style of play. Since its departure, the club has lacked a sporting direction, ” said the journalist.

After Ferguson left, five coaches have passed through in just 6 years, and the signings have not been successful, since more than 100 players were incorporated, and Marion pointed out that several of them disappointed by his low level.
