Manchester United - The Rudderless Ship

Manchester United have been longing for domestic success ever since Sir Alex Ferguson decided to step away from the bricked dugouts of Old Trafford. 

They became the most domestically decorated club in England and one of the most feared teams on the continent under Ferguson, with players and managers alike fearful of taking the trip to Manchester to face the Red Devils. 

Despite Ferguson’s departure being only 9 years ago, it must feel like a lifetime away for United fans. Their revered fear factor has gone, the gritty determination of the players has dissipated and the club renowned for challenging at the pinnacle of domestic and European football has slipped into limbo. 

The recent 4-1 loss to their noisy neighbours Manchester City, brought all that frustration to the surface, yet that hopeless feeling of anger towards the club’s inertia in the transfer market and lack of competitive progress is now not new to United fans.
