Manchester United, one of the most successful soccer teams in English history, has been struggling in recent years. The team has gone through a succession of managers without sustained success, and none has been able to deliver more than relatively minor trophies. The team has not put together a genuine title challenge for a decade. The teams decline has sent shockwaves through the sport given Uniteds previous status as one of European soccers genuine heavyweights.

One reason for the teams struggles is the Glazers, the teams U.S. owners. Some fans opposed the Glazers’ takeover so vehemently they formed a breakaway team called FC United of Manchester. The Glazers took over the team and brought in ex-bankers to run the club, and United wont challenge for major honors while those parasites are still at the club.

Another reason for the teams struggles is that they have not been creating enough chances or good enough chances to score goals. The teams non-penalty expected goals put them with West Ham, which tells us that they are not creating enough chances.

In summary, Manchester United has been struggling due to a combination of factors, including a lack of sustained success under a succession of managers, the Glazers ownership, and a lack of chances created to score goals.
