Man Utd ignore Sir Alex Ferguson warning as search for new manager continues

Man Utd's decision to involve former players in their search for a new boss backs up the claim that the club is still living in the past.

The Red Devils are still struggling to adapt to life without Sir Alex Ferguson as they've gone through a string of managers since the legendary figure's departure. Fergie tried to help the club adjust to life without him by lining up their successor David Moyes and still has an influence at the club to this day including a phone call to Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer that led to his signing.

Leaning on such an icon can obviously have its benefits, but on the flip side, it can hinder the ability to move forward. And that seems to be the case for United and is a criticism that has been thrown in their direction since Ferguson left the club.
