Manchester United’s troubled history with managers since Alex Ferguson’s retirement

A look at the number of managers who have been sacked by the club following Ferguson's incredible run
Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired as manager of Manchester United, the football club has been unable to find a solid footing. And it has reflected in the performance of the team over the past few years. Since Ferguson left, the Red Devils have been unable to finish at the top of the Premier League.
The poor performance of the club has reflected in the way they have changed managers since Ferguson retired. In the 8 years, United has changed 4 managers. Ryan Giggs acted as a player-manager for a brief period between David Moyes and Louis Van Gaal. Now Michael Carrick has been put in charge as a caretaker manager till the club finds an interim manager.
While it is true that different coaches bring new ideas and strategies to the team, the continuous struggle of Manchester United is pointing towards a problem of a set strategy. One that has been in play till Ferguson was there and since his departure, the team seems to be suffering from the present because its players are stuck in the past-in terms of tactics and game play. Despite fresh - and quite expensive - new signings, the performance of the team has remained abysmal, and the coaches have borne the brunt of expectations, from the owners and fans.
