Manchester United used to dominate the Premier League.
During Alex Ferguson’s reign as manager, the team won 13 league titles – a record that’s unlikely to be beaten.
Since he stepped down in the 2012-2013 season it’s been a trying time for Man U’s loyal fans who have looked on as successive managers made poor choices and owners wasted eye-watering sums.
To understand just why the team’s glory days are a distant memory look beyond what happens on the pitch and take a closer look at how the owners – the American Glazer family who are the majority shareholders, and Jim Ratcliffe who bought 25 per cent of the club – are doing their business.
