Since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement as manager of Manchester United, the board has appointed seven top-class managers to lead the club, but they have all failed to bring back the glorious 'Fergie days' at Old Trafford.

David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, José Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Ralf Rangnick, Erik ten Hag, and Ruben Amorim are undoubtedly among the top names in their job, but all of the above-mentioned managers had to leave the Reds without winning the Premier League, which again Sir Alex won for a record 13 times during his time at Man United.

So why did all these esteemed managers fail to do a job that the Scott delivered almost every year? Some would argue that the club's management has failed to back the managers with signings over the past decade, or that all these managers had rigid 'systems' that the players were unwilling to follow.

Experienced manager Ange Postecoglou recently shared his thoughts on the tough nature of the managerial role at Old Trafford in his recent podcast on The Overlap (h/t ESPN).

The former Tottenham Hotspur manager gave an insight into the role, saying, "That is the hardest job in world football as far as I'm concerned, because the scrutiny that the club has and the spotlight it's under consistently,

"It's going to take a unique individual to be able to overcome all those things or a real discipline to say that we're going to say we are going to go down this path for a certain number of years."

The Australian manager also added, saying, "It is unlikely there is going to be a quick fix. It is going to take a person as much a manager who can handle the 100 press conferences every year and winning 10 games and losing one and being torn apart for losing that one."

As it stands, Michael Carrick would be in charge of the Reds till the end of this season and has certainly delivered more than he was asked to do as his side defeated both Manchester City and Arsenal during his first two games as United's head coach.

Although United are yet to decide on a permanent replacement for Amorin, Carrick is certainly making a case for himself, and if the Reds are able to finish within the top four spots at the end of this season, the board would definitely put up his name for discussion, if they have not done it already.
