Manchester United may have had a wretched, trophyless season but it has not stopped the Premier League club from selling out their 2019/20 season tickets in record time.
Having sacked Jose Mourinho in December, United put legendary striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in temporary charge of first-team affairs.
After a brief revival under the Norwegian, who was then appointed on a permanent basis in March, United would win just two more times, as well as suffering exits in the FA Cup and Champions League.

Former United player Danny Higginbotham believes Solskjaer’s squad lack only the fitness to properly carry out the Norwegian’s orders on the pitch – something that can be corrected over time.
He told Tuesday’s Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast: “When Ole first came in there was a lot of adrenaline around and the team looked good, they looked strong.
“But then as the season went on it was plain and obvious for everyone to see – the players aren’t fit enough for Ole’s style.
“That doesn’t mean they’re not fit players, because you have different styles of football.

“That’s the way Ole wants to play but Mourinho played a different way, so their fitness levels need to go up considerably because of the style of play Solskjaer wants to bring to the team.”
