History

Historical Context

Manchester United's managerial instability began in 2013 when Sir Alex Ferguson retired after 26 years, leading to David Moyes' appointment. Moyes achieved only a 27% win rate before being sacked in April 2014, marking the club's lowest league finish since 1990. This history of leadership challenges continues to resonate as Ruben Amorim faces scrutiny in 2024, reflecting ongoing high expectations at the club.
