When such a great man as Sir Alex Ferguson leaves the club, it is logical that a not so easy transition period will follow. But what United has been going through since the departure of the legendary coach is not a transition but – agony!
Because, how else to explain what four coaches have paraded from 2013 until today, of which only one won a trophy worth mentioning – the Europa League.
The impression is too little for the ambitions of such a giant as United. And they also relentlessly spent on compensations for football players.
Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Jadon Sancho, Angel di Maria were brought in for record amounts… There are also the arrivals of Cristiano Ronaldo, Donny van de Beek, and many, many others.
And from the success and the trophy, there is no trace or voice. It will be something to do with the coaches with whom United has not been happy since 2013.
Then came David Moyes, who did not stay long, and based on the termination of the contract, he received compensation of as much as 8,000,000 euros.
He was succeeded by Louis van Gaal, who left an even bigger ruin, especially in the locker room among the football players, and that “work” collected 9,000,000 euros by leaving.
Jose Mourinho is known as a coach who signs huge contracts, so it is not surprising that he collected fat compensation everywhere he was fired (and he got them).
In the case of United, the Portuguese earned as much as 17,000,000 euros after being fired due to the premature termination of cooperation ?!
Ole Gunnar Solskejaer also passed solidly, which, as it turned out, is not a caliber for a big club, but because of that, his bank account will be richer by as much as 8,500,000 euros.
So, when we add it all up, since Ferguson’s departure, United only gave a little less than 45,000,000 euros to the coaches ?!
Simply unbelievable… For less than that money, they signed a football player of the caliber of Rafael Varane this summer. True, he was in the last year of his contract with Real Madrid, but he still came for less money than other “smart” moves by United.
Or let’s say, they cost like Donnie van de Beck, who didn’t even get a chance at “Old Trafford”. Maybe that will change with the arrival of interim chief Michael Carrick.
Until a new coach comes and (dis) convinces the fans that he is the right choice. It is clear that the four listed above were not even close…
