The owner who only knows about the shocking worst Manchester United dismissal + the manager who is thinking of running away + the helpless players. Sportscaster's determination

It is instant to fall from the top to the abyss. Manchester United, a prestigious club with English Premier League tradition, is now in such a situation.
Until two seasons ago, it is difficult to find even a trace of him playing in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) by ranking third in the league. He is now ranked 15th in the league (29 points, 8 wins, 5 draws, 12 losses). It is only three places away from 18th place in the relegation zone. If it slips further, it could push it to the relegation zone.
It's not an unwarranted concern. Criticism has been raised by a famous British sportscaster that all parts of the team are headed for the 'worst' and may become a reality.

Richard Keith, a famous British sportscaster, criticized Manchester United's disastrous reality. The target of criticism is owner Ratcliffe and manager Amorim. He wrote on his blog that `Ratcliffe was hailed like a hero when he showed up to watch the game for the first time (since becoming co-owner). I know why. Desperate Manchester United fans wanted to believe (Ratcliffe). And I really believed it. But now everything has gone horribly wrong. Don't you think so?Ratcliffe criticized Manchester United for completely defying the expectations of Manchester United fans.
Then "Manchester United has never been as bad as it is now. Ratcliffe broke the club down to pieces. Unfortunately United have become a laughing stock. I hope Manchester United get back to the top of the EPL, but it will take a long time to do so," he said, pointing out that Manchester United is currently broken to the point where it is difficult to turn around. Of course, it's because of the errors made by Chairman Ratcliffe.

The move is due to a sense of crisis that Manchester United is in a serious financial crisis. Ratcliffe paid 1 billion pounds (about 1.81 trillion won) to acquire a 27.7% stake in Manchester United last year. Immediately after that, an intensive fiscal tightening policy was implemented. In July last year alone, it laid off 250 employees, or 21.7% of its 1,150 employees.

Manager change is likewise ruining Manchester United. Following Ratcliffe, Keith also shot director Hu Beng Amorim. "Manchester United obviously have a manager who doesn't want to stay in the team. Now Manchester United have a cycling expert in charge of football, a team owner who doesn't know what to do next and only knows how to fire great peopleBoth Amorim and Ratcliffe are the main culprits who ruined Manchester United.
In fact, manager Amorim is writing Manchester United's dark history. Amorim, who took over as Erik ten Hag's successor in November last year, has lost eight of his first 14 games. It is the worst record in 51 years. So far, he has led 21 games and achieved only 10 wins. Manchester United has fallen further since taking office at Amorim, eventually ranking 15th. It seems that there is more to go down in the future.
