Following his managerial retirement, the Red Devils have appointed four permanent head coaches with club icon Ole Gunnar Solskjaer currently at the helm.

During that period, United ended outside the top four places four times – including last season – as well as finishing runners-up (2017/18) and fourth (2014/15) in the other two seasons, although they have secured FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League titles.

“It will not be possible for United to become a champion for the next two years.”
