Abstract
Manchester United have confirmed the appointment of Rúben Amorim, their tenth permanent or interim head coach since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.
Under Ferguson’s 27-year tenure, United dominated English soccer, winning a total of 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League titles and two UEFA Champions League trophies.
Since the departure of “Fergie”, the club has failed to win the Premier or Champions leagues.
Despite spending more than A$1 billion on players since 2020, they currently sit 13th in the table, their worst ever start to a Premier League season.
