Getty/GOALWHAT HAPPENED?
The Red Devils have continued to spend big in a bid to recapture former glories, with the unpopular Glazer family overseeing lavish recruitment drives. Little return has been seen on that investment since Sir Alex Ferguson headed into retirement on the back of the club’s last Premier League title triumph in 2013.
GettyTHE BIGGER PICTURE
With issues to address on the pitch, United have also faced plenty of uncomfortable questions off it. Dutch coach Erik ten Hag appears to have survived those for now – having overseen an FA Cup triumph in 2023-24 – and Ratcliffe added when asked about the decision not to make another change in the dugout: “The coach isn't the central issue at Manchester United. It’s a sports club. It needs to be competitive, it needs a degree of intensity, but with a supportive side to it because you are dealing with players who are relatively young. It hasn’t had that type of environment historically.”
