Manchester United appointed – and subsequently sacked – three managers since then, with neither of David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, and Jose Mourinho delivering the Premier League trophy during their time at the club. Moyes failed to complete the full season in charge, van Gaal was dismissed after winning the FA Cup in his second season, while Mourinho’s third season at Old Trafford panned out in typical ‘Mourinho’ fashion.
However, it was the Portuguese who took Manchester United closest to the top, finishing second behind a rampant Manchester City in his second season in charge. And Ryan Giggs believes that his former club might get no closer to a Premier League triumph in the next few years.
Manchester United’s trophy drought could depend on Klopp and Guardiola, says Giggs
The legendary Welshman, who won a record 13 Premier League titles with Manchester United, was a part of the Red Devils team that last won the league. Since then, Giggs has seen City and Liverpool go from strength to strength while his club stuttered and stumbled.
City won three league titles during that time, while Liverpool finished second in the 2018/19 season and finally ended their 30-year wait for a league title last season.
And Giggs believes Manchester United could endure a similar test of patience themselves.
The former Manchester United winger pointed out that even the German manager took a considerable amount of time to flourish. He also talked about how Klopp improved Liverpool with every passing season while also managing to deliver trophies.
Manchester United’s problem, Giggs revealed, was the sky-high expectations after every player or managerial recruitment.
Manchester United fans will be hoping that one former player can prove their legendary Welshman wrong in the next couple of years.
