It has been a dark time for Manchester United fans, over the course of the last several years.
The club have overseen fan protests over the ownership of the Glazers.
An abundance of talent has been brought into the club without a structure and culture.

Global investment bankers UBS believe United’s fortunes could soon taker a turn for the better under Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS.
In a detailed 41-page report as mentioned by Daily Mail, UBS predict United’s return to the Premier League’s top four and Champions League football within four seasons.
They also project club revenues could surpass £1 billion, driven by growth and potential construction of a new stadium.
UBS recommends investors to buy United shares.
They have suggested they are currently undervalued.
This bullish outlook comes despite INEOS facing criticism for sweeping cost-cutting measures.
They led to around 250 job redundancies across various departments.
However, UBS argue these cuts could be pivotal, freeing resources to improve sporting merit and profitability.
United’s most recent figures show record revenues of £662 million but a net loss of £113 million.
UBS anticipates that if Ruben Amorim can deliver results on the pitch, revenues could climb to £800 million or higher.
A new stadium, which is being explored, could add £200 million in annual income from ticketing, hospitality and events.
This would push the total revenue beyond the £1 billion mark.
The report highlights United’s global fanbase and commercial strength, citing their ability to remain financially competitive during poor seasons.
UBS state: “Too much revenue generation to stay average for too long,” noting that record earnings last year reflected the club’s enduring appeal.
Despite this optimism, the report includes cautionary notes.
UBS acknowledges United’s underperformance and warns that future failures on the pitch could negatively impact revenues.
They also highlight new Premier League financial regulations.
Of which, could cap spending and make the league more competitive, potentially limiting United’s ability to attract top talent.
Regardless, UBS asserts that United’s superior revenue base positions them well for recovery, predicting a return to Champions League contention by 2028.
While the turnaround may take time, the analysis concludes the foundations that will help push long-term success.
