Currently, Manchester United may be in a slightly better situation, but if they did not change the manager quickly, the situation of Manchester United would have been worse. The manager who previously managed Manchester United may have thought that while other teams were struggling to get to the top of the points table, he may have thought about how to go down the points table. If he did not do that, how could he not change the condition of the team even after serving Manchester United for so long.
Leaving Ten Hag to stay long in Manchester United was the mistake the management make, they knew he was not doing well and despite the money they spent on buying players, he couldn’t manage them well because at some points, he has all the players he will need to make the team better, but he failed to use them properly.
However, Ten Hag was not the main problem because we have seen clearly now because even the new manager couldn’t do better because the players also have key role playing in Manchester United’s downfall.
There is no point in blaming him completely, some blame must be given to the management. Where the management could see that Manchester United were not doing well under Ten Hag, why did they extend the manager's contract year after year?
If he had been sacked after a season and put in charge of another manager, Manchester United might have found themselves in the top five of the points table.
The Manchester United management also have their own fault, but they seems to have started correcting themselves since they have decided to be signing young players, and there legends that are always mounting pressure on the coaches is also affecting the team because there is no how young coaches will be comfortable and build a strong team if there is no any encouragement from the board and the legends.
