The retirement of Fergie started a new transitional phase at Old Trafford where both David Moyes and Louis Van Gaal failed to succeed. The appointment of Jose Mourinho was a desperate attempt to win trophies more than anything else. The former Chelsea manager is known for his defensive tactics which have paid dividends all these years.
However, the fragile United back line didn't help Jose's cause, and he was reluctant to adapt to a change in philosophy. His pessimistic football against the big sides has drawn immense criticism from the footballing world who cited Mourinho was a man from the past.

About the author
Suman Dey
A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.
Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.
Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.
The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.
I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
