History

Historical Context

After Sir Alex Ferguson retired in May 2013, David Moyes took over United on 1 July, won the Community Shield, then endured the worst league start since the 1980s. By 22 April 2014 United were seventh with only 19 points from 12 games, leading to Moyes’s sacking, Ryan Giggs’s interim spell and Louis van Gaal’s appointment. In 2024 midfielder Michael Carrick faced possible dismissal after a 3-0 Bournemouth loss.
