History

Historical Context

In November 2021, Manchester United dismissed Ole Gunnar Solskjær after a series of poor performances, including a 4-1 loss to Watford. This marked a significant moment in the club's history, as fan protests against the Glazer family's ownership intensified. Solskjær's departure reflected ongoing instability, with Michael Carrick serving as caretaker before Ralf Rangnick's appointment as interim manager in December 2021.
