History

Historical Context

Manchester United's managerial instability has been evident since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013, which marked the end of an era after 26 years. David Moyes was dismissed in April 2014 after a disappointing season, leading to Louis van Gaal's appointment. Despite significant spending exceeding £250 million, the club continues to struggle, with current manager Ruben Amorim facing similar pressures as United sits tenth in the league after seven matches in 2024.
