Since the departure of their long time couch, Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United has been struggling to make it to the top four of the most prestigious league in the world, continuing with this season where it is likely they will come below fourth at the end of the season with their week to week performance. They have already be eliminated from the Champions league at the group stage after failing to make it to the Champions League the previous season under David Moyes.
The club had been unable to find their feet after the exit of Alex Ferguson who spend more than 25 years running the club and was the key to their dominance in the premiership, his handpicked successor David Moyes ran the club down to their lowest finish at 7th position before he was fired and the board decided to go for the experienced Luis Val Gaal, and after his first season when he took Manchester United back to the Champions League, many though it was a building process that will see the club bounce back to his glorious position as the pride in English football. But this season has been one of disappointment as the fans experienced the team fall short when they were expected to be delivering.
The fans are not happy with his not too enterprising lay back kind of football as it has seen the team dropped points in advantageous positions. The fans believe the team are not playing the Manchester United way and Van Gaal has been accused of being too cautious, not attacking enough and outdated.
Manchester United are yarning for the days of Alex Ferguson, and his attacking style of play, but too bad for them, he is gone and probably the Manchester United era of dominance has gone with him as well.
