Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has criticised the club’s leadership, arguing that another managerial change will not resolve the problems behind the team’s continued struggles.
Schmeichel believes United’s difficulties stem from decisions at executive level rather than the managers appointed to lead the team, insisting that a new coach would face the same challenges as his predecessor.
Naija News reports that Michael Carrick could become the seventh permanent manager to leave Old Trafford since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. During that period, United have won two EFL Cups, one FA Cup and one UEFA Europa League title.
Speaking about the club’s managerial instability, Schmeichel expressed frustration with the hierarchy’s repeated appointments.
“It drives me crazy. Who are these people who say that ‘he’s a good manager’?” Schmeichel questioned. “We’ve tried everyone; it’s not about the managers. It’s about the leadership of the club.”
