In reality he was successful right up until his retirement, and left plenty of quality for his successor to work with. You cannot blame a manager for the failure of his successor(s) to impose their own 'philosophy' on a squad of proven winners. It is always more complicated than that, and especially when the previous such transition was back in 1986.

Well, I agree to some extent but I also think it's not working because half the proven winners are falling to bits with advancing years, and the other half were largely carried by the former.

And then there's Rooney. Whose game has definitely suffered from being shuffled around to cover deficiencies elsewhere.

Rooney has been played in midfield many times even when the manager had actual midfielders that could have been played there.

The club has had 3 transfer windows and hundreds of millions of pounds to sign a right-back and a central defensive leader since Ferguson retired.

De Jong was mentioned in the evening news last week.

Palermo have received a €40 bid for Dybala according to their president

United?

Dybala, Depay and someone else lined up

40 euros. Theres low balling, and there's taking the piss
