7 reasons for the decay at Manchester United 

#4 Personnel

None of Manchester United Executive Vice-Chairman Ed Woodward's hires has clicked

Who is taking the decisions to bring the players to Old Trafford? Is the manager - Ole Gunnar Solskjær truly being backed? Was José Mourinho? Is the coaching staff the finest? Do they have any pulling power with just Europa league to play in? No one seems to have an answer that explains all of this with conviction. There is not one great player from other big clubs who will like to come and link up with this group.

The recruiting at Old Trafford has horribly, terribly, crucially gone wrong. The blame is largely on Ed Woodward who has now had 7 seasons to rebuild. He's committed plenty of mistakes and needs to get it right. It doesn't bode well when the left-back Luke Shaw wins the club player of the year award when the team is leaking goals like it does. That Mourinho finished second in the league with this United squad beggars belief! It is perhaps indeed his greatest achievement.
