Moving on from Sir Alex Ferguson has proven difficult for Manchester United, and nine years on from the great man bidding farewell to Old Trafford, the club are still searching for a way to do so.
United are of course set to usher in yet another new era this summer as Erik ten Hag arrives from Ajax. The fact that the Dutchman is the eighth man, including caretakers, to take his seat in the dugout tells you a lot about the club’s struggles to replace Ferguson.
The man himself knew how tough the job could turn out to be for his successor when he addressed the Old Trafford crowd following his final game in charge. Having beaten Swansea in his last outing at home, Ferguson took the microphone to deliver his instructions to the fans.
