Manchester United Struggles Under Jim Ratcliffe's Ownership

Manchester United's 2024 began with hopes for revitalization under new management from billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, but the situation has deteriorated significantly, culminating in four consecutive defeats. The team is now in a relegation battle, with new manager Ruben Amorim admitting the dire state of the club. Despite winning the FA Cup in May, the team's performance has been lackluster, finishing eighth last season—their worst in Premier League history. Amorim has struggled to implement his tactics effectively, managing only two wins in eight games, leaving the club 14th in the league. The sidelining of key players like Marcus Rashford has raised concerns about the squad's cohesion. Ratcliffe has acknowledged the need for major changes to restore the club to elite status.
