The Red Devils are in a battle to qualify for the Champions League after an inconsistent campaign, with an at-times bland playing style having a section of the club’s support calling for a managerial change.

“We were one of the latest clubs in three competitions, and in spite of all the injuries we are still there”. “I think we played one of our best matches of the season, but it was not enough”. Every week for (the last) six months I have been sacked – and yet I am still here.
He said: “As a club of AZ or a smaller club like Leicester, it is more easy to buy players”.
