Manchester United is one of the most influential and successful clubs in England, Europe and the world. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info have won 20 English top flight titles, 12 FA Cups and four League Cups in their 118-year history, and they still have the most top-flight and FA Cup titles in England. In Europe, the Reds have also won three UEFA Champions Leagues, one European Cup Winners' Cup (one of the three major European cups) and one UEFA Super Cup.

Despite the absence of Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United still ushered in their golden age at the end of the last century, which was started by Eddie Gilman, the same legendary coach.

Unlike Alex Ferguson, Eddie took over the reins of Manchester United in 1985, two years before Lord Ferguson. At that time, Manchester United's situation was even worse than that of Manchester United at the same time in the original world, and even fell into the relegation circle for a time. Eddie was ordered to do the same thing as Ferguson directly after taking office - to change the team.

The process lasted five seasons, and in the first three seasons, the Reds finished 13th, 11th and 8th respectively, not only escaping the relegation zone, but also steadily improving every year, directly rushing into the upper middle of the league. However, in the 1989-1990 season, Manchester United's results fell again, and that year they finished 12th. Everyone thought that Eddie and Manchester United were a flash in the pan, but they didn't know that Eddie had been working hard to improve Manchester United's youth system this year, or since he took office.

The 1990-1991 season was the last year of Eddy's contract with Manchester United and the most pivotal year of his more than 20-year tenure at United. Because if Eddie can't take Manchester United's achievements one step further this season, his career at Manchester United will be over.

Thankfully, the youth system, which Eddie had worked hard for four years, began to gain momentum, and Eddie promoted four young players from the youth team at the start of the season, putting the finishing touches on his team's replacement plans.

After half a season, these four young players are starting to show their talent. Manchester United, who were 12 points behind leaders Nottingham Forest around Christmas, completed a miraculous comeback in just three months in the second half of the season to win the top flight for the first time in 24 years, and they also won the FA Cup that year, making it a season double. It was also this year that not only began Manchester United's treble of titles, but also the golden era of the Red Devils.

United's golden era lasted for 22 years, until the retirement of Eddie in the 2012-2013 season, when the legendary coach brought the Reds a total of 36 trophies in all competitions. Behind that number, Eddie is the only manager in Premier League history to win three consecutive titles twice, and the first to win the double twice (league and FA Cup). Eddie became Manchester United's biggest man.

In 2013, Manchester United won the Premier League title four rounds ahead of schedule under Eddie's leadership, which was Eddy's 13th Premier League title and his last trophy for Manchester United. A month later, on May 19, Manchester United drew 5-5 away at West Bromwich Albion in the final league game of the season, and Eddie announced his retirement after the game.

This is the end of a generation of legendary managers, and this day is also a turning point in the prosperity and decline of Manchester United. From the 2014-2015 season to the present, Manchester United has changed four managers in seven years, but none of these four have been able to continue Eddy's glory, and Manchester United's results have been declining year by year. It wasn't until the summer of 2020 that Manchester United once again missed out on the Europa League, and the club announced that they would not renew the current manager's contract and brought in another legendary manager, Jose Faria.

Joseph didn't have as many championships as Add, but that was only because Joseph was too young. Since taking charge in 2002, Joseph has managed five teams across the four Nations League, and no matter which team he has played, Joseph has never dropped out of the top three in the league and has won 10 league trophies in his 18-year coaching career, which is not far behind Eddie.

Joseph also faced the problem of changing the squad after arriving at Manchester United, which resulted in the United finishing eighth in the first half of the season. Just when everyone thought Joseph's saga was coming to an end, the Reds went on to go unbeaten in the second half of the season in all competitions, including eight wins in a row, and the team moved up to fourth place in the table, just one step away from the top three Champions League qualification spots.

Unfortunately, it didn't last long, as United won eight in a row before losing away to bottom-placed Hull City in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final. Although this game did not affect the Red Devils' promotion to the League Cup, until the League Cup final, United drew three and lost one of their next four games, and went five games without a win, and the Reds fell back to sixth place in the table.

And Manchester United has fallen not only in the rankings, but also in the morale and confidence of the team.

Manchester United have not played in Europe this season, so their focus has shifted to domestic competitions. Chelsea are at the top of the league and Manchester United themselves are not so good, and this season's league title is arguably out of reach. The FA Cup has just finished its fourth round and it is too early to talk about the situation in the FA Cup. Therefore, Manchester United's focus now is all on the upcoming Carabao Cup final.

Originally, in the semi-finals, Manchester United looked at the other three opponents and was only happy, and from the analysis of book strength, this season's League Cup championship can be said to have been won by Manchester United. However, in the semi-finals, United suffered a blow to the head, losing to Hull City.

Then, another semi-final was played at the same time, and the Championship side Aston Villa eliminated Southampton 5-0 over two legs. Such a disparity in the score can only show one problem, Villa's quality is a lot higher than Southampton. And Southampton is already in the middle of the table this season, if Villa's strength is higher, doesn't it mean that the opponent's strength is already comparable to itself?! What's more, in the third round of the FA Cup, Villa also eliminated Tottenham, which is enough to show that Villa's strength is at least not below Manchester United.

To make matters worse, United failed to win even one of their games before the final, which was a huge blow to the team's morale. Coupled with the fact that the Carabao Cup final is being held at a neutral stadium, Manchester United does not have the so-called home advantage. Even if Joseph and Manchester United don't understand the Chinese art of war, they also know that it is really not easy for Manchester United to win this final.
