When Alex Ferguson was stepping down as the Manager of Manchester United, there was fear from a lot of quarters that it will be hard to get a coach that will fill his big shoes.
And even though that there was a lot of remarks on social media that Alex was not as great at people projected due to the claims that he bribes to win matches, Alex was like Ngolo Kante, you just can't hate him.
Fergie Time
This was his iconic hand simple where he points to the watch during the dying minutes of any game that United is lagging behind in, that hand signal always sent chills down the spine of the opposition defenders and United ended up scoring at the dying minutes of the game on many occasions.
He built his Team in such a way that it was solid from back to front and even when he played with average players mostly, he still found ways to make the players and the position count.
And even though that it has been Five Years since he retired, we United Fans are still feeling his exit.
From Moyes to Mourinho, Coaches has tried to replicate the works of Alex in United to no avail, it is as if he left with the Coaching keys and the other Managers are left to pick the lock or find other ways to gain access to the halls of glory.
When compared to their nosiy neighbours , Manchester City (which has become the prominent side in Manchester) , United still have a lot of work to do.
There are a lot of dirt clogging the plumping, we may have to get a new Plumber as the Special one we hired seems to be under-performing.
From the look of things, it is very obvious that a shake up is needed at Manchester United. Some believe that the main issue is Pogba who is no longer committed to the Team.
Another group believes that it is a coaching issue, and I believe the latter.
Now Mourinho has given reasons why he was handicapped this season, he blamed the Manchester United board for not giving him the Money he needed to buy certain players.
Now with purchases like Sanchez and players like Pogba and Rashford in the team, I believe that United should be pulling some level of weight in the League.
Some teams with fewer quality of players has put up better performances this season.
My own conclusion in the whole matter is that, the issue at United is more of an Attitude issue rather than a player issue. Mourinho has made certain crude remarks about his players before in public and the one he made about Jones after today's loss to Frank Lampard led Derby shows that he still has not learnt how to make statements.
I am a Manchester United Fan and i have been keeping away from worrying over the Team's troubles this season, but I just had to pen something down after today's unfortunate turn of events.
I don't know what the next step will be, but I believe that it is time for a radical change in the Red Half of Manchester.
