I Fixed Manchester United (Here’s How)

What happens when I take full control of Manchester United for 12 months? In this episode, I ran Manchester United for an entire season — making every major decision from transfers and tactics to youth development and contract negotiations. No board interference. No shortcuts. Just one year to transform the club. Over 12 months I: Rebuilt key areas of the squad Made big transfer calls (some risky 👀) Set a clear tactical identity Managed dressing room morale Fought for silverware Dealt with injuries, pressure, and expectations Could I restore Manchester United to glory in just one season… or did it all fall apart? This breakdown covers every major decision, the turning points of the season, and whether the rebuild actually worked. If you enjoy rebuilds, or long-term football projects — this one’s for you.
