Watching Manchester United during the day is like watching Hans Gruber in slow motion fall from the top of Nakatomi Plaza!

Manchester United haven’t had much time for training in over 100 years, the reason for that is simply that the results delivered are so poor that they are not qualified for any European competitions this season and now they have been knocked out of the FA Cup in the third round.

For two decades, the Glazer family has had the world’s biggest straw into Manchester United and pulled over £1 billion out of the club’s coffers, all fans’ joy that they sold the club disappeared after they discovered that Sir Jim Ratcliffe could only buy a minority stake and is effectively a running boy for the greedy American family.

It doesn’t matter who will be in charge of Manchester United for a few months, Michael Carrick or Ole Gunnar Solskjaer!

At Manchester United, there are many who have an opinion, now that an interim manager is to be put in place. They have a general manager (Omar Berrada) and a sporting director (Jason Wilcox), who have the main responsibility. But then they also have a head of recruitment (Christopher Vivell) and a co-owner with strong opinions (Jim Ratcliffe). In addition to a shadow board in the Glazer family, which has its say. They are “praying to higher powers” that Manchester United will not succeed, so they can sell yet again, this time to the royal family of Saudi Arabia. (They have a clause in the agreement with Sir Jim Ratcliffe where they can terminate the purchase contract)

It is fast approaching the end of the season, in 21 Premier League games there have only been 8 wins. Manchester United are in a vulnerable 7th place, which with a couple of unfortunate losses could take them down to the bottom half of the table.

Today or tomorrow, it will be decided who will be in charge, for what was once the world’s biggest and best club, until the summer. Short engagements are not good, everyone knows you don’t plant an apple tree in a garden you are about to move from. It doesn’t matter who they choose, Michael Carrick or Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, they will both bang their heads against the wall of greed and incompetence.

The biggest and most successful clubs in the world have to deal with an extremely tight fixture schedule. The Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup and European games often have to be combined with national team duties for large parts of the squad. Season after season, we have heard managers from clubs such as Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United complain about an “inhumane” program that leaves little time for training. For the latter club, however, the situation is now completely different. Manchester United have not had so much time for training in over a hundred years.

Ruben Amorim led Manchester United to a final defeat to Tottenham in the Europa League last season. This loss meant that the opportunity to play in the Champions League disappeared. A 15th-place finish in the Premier League was also miles away from qualifying for any other European competition. Then the season started with an incomprehensible loss in the League Cup against Grimsby Town, and suddenly United were out of their first cup opportunity.

On Sunday, interim manager Darren Fletcher led the team out of the FA Cup as well, after a 1-2 defeat to Brighton.

After being knocked out of both cups and without the possibility of European play, Manchester United will now only play a total of 40 games this season. This will be the lowest number of games for the club since the 1914-15 season (39 games), according to Goal.

In comparison, United participated in a whopping 60 games last season. That came after they reached the Europa League final, the quarter-finals of the League Cup and the fifth round of the FA Cup, in addition to the regular season of 38 games in the Premier League.

Here is the list of managers including Sir Alex Ferguson:
