Endless decline for Manchester United since Sir Alex's departure 12 years ago...
The once-powerful team under Sir Alex Ferguson is going from bad to worse, having lost as many games in 12 years as they did under him (the Scottish manager) in 26.
Manchester United's slump is never-ending. The once-powerful team under Sir Alex Ferguson is going from bad to worse, having lost as many games in 12 years as they did under him (the Scottish manager) in 26.
When Sir Alex Ferguson decided to retire from his coaching career, no one expected this outcome for Manchester United.
It was the 2012/2013 season when Sir Alex Ferguson decided to retire from coaching and hand over the keys to the team that combined his name with so many successes and trophies. He himself had reportedly chosen his successor, who was David Moyes...
However, the continuation was not proportional since Manchester United not only failed to win the Premier League in the following years but has not even come close to claiming it.
The success of the Scottish coach is also shown by the amazing statistic where Manchester United has the same defeats in 12 years without Ferguson, as they had in 26 years that the now 83-year-old former coach was at the helm of the team.
Specifically, United have changed 10 managers, resulting in 12 years of 115 defeats, while Sir Alex has 114 in 26 years in the Premier League.
For the record, the managers who have taken over after the best in the history of the "babies" are the following; David Moyes for 295 days, Ryan Giggs for 68 days, Louis van Gaal for 679 days, Jose Mourinho for 900 days, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for 1,068 days, Michael Carrick for 12 days, Ralf Ragnigk for 179 days, Erik ten Hag for 850 days, Ruud van Nistelrooy for 14 days and Ruben Amorim for 154 days (and counting).
