We've had jobs for the boys, old schoolers behind the scenes, yes even Sir Alex.
Moyes was brought in to be a Sir Alex clone. Scottish and everything. That's no way to choose a successor. I don't think Mourinho was his usual self and adapted to a slightly different less pragmatic form of football. Van Gal seemed to do it his way. Ole was chosen because of his links with the club and the football he played. Now even Ten Haag is talking the United way and transitional which is completely different to his style of play. Or so we believed.
Player wise we have a history of youth. Which is beautiful. But that means we have to adapt to those players. We could never get rid of Rashford for example. So we adapt everyone around him. Garnacho the same. I'm not saying they are the problem abilty wise I'm saying that a new manager is never given the choice to get rid if they don't fit their style.
I think Liverpool went through the same problems until Klopp transformed them totally. So how do we change and adapt if we continually stick to the past?
