3 Reasons why Manchester United are a long way off from being title challengers

#2 Managerial Choices

David Moyes as a Manchester United manager

A club like Manchester United deems a manager with the highest quality and a personality to manage at the highest level, under grave pressure every match-day. Expectations are always high when you manage the biggest club in the world.

The managerial choices of United have been utterly poor. Appointing David Moyes turned out to be one of the biggest mistakes of the club. There were ego clashes all over. Players were not willing to listen to him or follow his instructions. And his sorry tenure ended even before the year ended.

Van Gaal at United

The next person at the helm was Louis van Gaal.

When the Dutch national team performed exceedingly well under him, in the 2014 World Cup, there were hopes that this man could bring back the glory days to United.

But with his own philosophy, which didn't go in sync with United's philosophy. His style of play and his antics off the field made the club see unforeseen lows in the footballing world.

Jose's appointment as United's manager

The appointment of Jose Mourinho was appreciated by many as he could be an ideal manager to pick United up from the ashes. But his 'defensive style' of football has not gone down well with the fans.

It doesn't symbolizes the Manchester United that we all know. The current season is his third and early suggestions have suggested anything but his inevitable sack even before the end of the season. With such turmoil in management, success is hard to come by.
