Sir Alex Ferguson was a disappointed spectator at Turf Moor on Tuesday evening as Manchester United were held to a draw by Burnley in the Premier League.The iconic former United boss, who led the club to 13 league titles between 1993 and 2013, was in the stands as the rain poured down in Lancashire.With Burnley hitting back through Jay Rodriguez after Paul Pogba's opener, the cameras focused on 80-year-old Ferguson after his former side had two goals ruled out.The Scot looked less than pleased with what he was seeing, with Ralf Rangnick admitting that his team need to improve if they are to secure Champions League qualification.He told MOTD: "I think we played a fantastic first half, couldn't have played any better.

Manchester United have wasted plenty of money over the last century, and it has revealed that they spent £908m on new signings.Since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013, the Red Devils have struggled in all competitions and continually looked to the transfer market to try and bring in players to reignite the team.But a large bulk of their acquisitions have flopped at Old Trafford.Angel Di Maria (£67.5m), Anthony Martial (£54m) and Harry Maguire (£78m) are just a few names amongst a plethora of players who have massively underperformed since joining United.Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane were purchased ahead of the start of the season for a combined total of £112.5m, and although neither have lit up the Premier League just yet, it is too early to completely judge either of the pair.According to CIES Football Observatory, the club have made the biggest loss on transfers in the past 10 years - £78m more than rivals Manchester City, who have trophies and a star-studded squad for their expenditure.United are currently sitting in fourth place in the Premier League and have been tipped by many to splash the cash again in the summer once a permanent manager is found. Current boss Ralf Rangnick went unbacked in the January transfer window, with the board keen to only buy players who are part of the plans of his successor.

Manchester United have placed a job advert for someone to polish their trophies, but there's a catch - you must have a degree.United's last trophy, the 2016/17 Europa League, was five years ago, but the Red Devils aren't keen on its cabinet gaining dust anytime soon.The Red Devils have placed an advert online for a Curatorial Assistant.The advert says: “Tasks will include assisting with the creation of displays, collection management and dealing with public enquiries.“The right candidate will ideally have a museum qualification and practical experience with exhibition work.”Tasks also feature: “Cleaning, photographing and redisplaying items in the Museum."Manchester United are the Premier League's most successful club - with 20 titles top their name - but their last was in 2013.For the better part of two decades, United dominated England's top tier.However most of those titles came under Sir Alex Ferguson, and United have only lifted three trophies since he departed in 2013.And two of those three of those triumphs came in the same season: the 2016/17 campaign.

Former assistant to Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, Rene Meulensteen, has claimed that the Red Devils have lost their DNA.

Manchester United shouldn't have rushed to re-sign Cristiano Ronaldo, says former midfielder Kleberson.The Portuguese made a high-profile return to Old Trafford in the summer from Juventus.But since the £12.8 million transfer, the 36-year-old has endured a challenging season.Ole Gunnar Solskjaer got the boot in November and the Red Devils have failed to mount a title push.Ronaldo has bagged 14 in all competitions and is the club's top goalscorer this term. But ex-United and Brazil international Kleberson reckons his former club might have dropped a clanger bringing him back.“To be honest, the Ronaldo experiment has been a bit of a failure so far - especially because of the level of player he is and how of late he has impacted the team," he said."When you look at the things he can bring to the club and what he brings to the fans, it’s not been amazing.“The current United team haven’t played well together of late."It’s a tough time for Ronaldo to have returned to the club.

Sir Alex Ferguson's former assistant Rene Meulesteen has said the club should have kept the outgoing boss in some kind of role behind the scenes when he retired in 2013.
