Nearly 12 years have passed since Sir Alex Ferguson left Manchester United, and the club has struggled to achieve significant success in his absence. Many believe Fergie dependency has held United back, and those at Old Trafford are now determined to break away from his legacy.
Details: According to The Mirror, United’s hierarchy has grown tired of constant references to Ferguson’s dominance in the 1990s. Furthermore, there is reportedly resentment towards the legendary manager. The club blames Ferguson for its stagnation post-2013, citing his reluctance to adopt new coaching and scouting methods.
United’s leadership no longer wants to take lessons from Ferguson’s approach and is focused on severing ties with the past. One example is the club’s decision to downsize its scouting department, with several scouts losing their jobs as United shifts toward data analysis rather than traditional scouting.
Reminder: So far, INEOS’s influence at the club has yet to yield results, with United currently sitting 15th in the Premier League table.
