A decade later, Man United still toils in Ferguson’s shadow

Associated Press  

Nine years, five permanent managers, $1 billion spent on players and zero Premier League titles. That adds up to a whole lot of bad decisions made by Manchester United as England’s grandest club approaches a decade since the retirement of its greatest manager, Alex Ferguson. The rise of Abu Dhabi-backed Manchester City, which has won 12 of the 27 domestic trophies since 2013, and the presence of two other major rivals in Chelsea — fueled by the wealth of Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich until this year — and more recently Liverpool, the epitome of a well-run modern-day club, brought about the sudden end to United’s dominance. The offseason has been something of a grind in terms of the transfer market — witness the failure to sign Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona after drawn-out negotiations and United getting beaten to the signature of Benfica striker Darwin Nunez by Liverpool — and Ten Hag, a Dutchman, has resorted to going for players he knows, or knew, from his time as a coach and player in the Dutch league. Realistically, while Jurgen Klopp is manager of Liverpool and Pep Guardiola is manager of City, there’s little hope of United winning a record-extending 21st English league title.
