There is no denying that Manchester United are nothing more than a shadow of what they once were under Sir Alex Ferguson. The legendary Scot led the Red Devils to countless trophies, both domestically and in Europe, making them one of football's most feared club sides. However, things have dramatically worsened since Ferguson stepped down from management in 2013.

Playing at Old Trafford was once a daunting task for any team in the country, but nobody fears United any more and they regularly get turned over by teams like Brighton and Bournemouth.

Their shortcomings in the transfer market have played a significant role in their steady decline over the last decade or so. Millions and millions of pounds have been spent on new players, but United have very little to show for it.

In fact, they have splashed close to £2billion on transfers since 2013, only to end up closer to relegation than winning another league title.
