Manchester United failed to secure a place in the top 20 clubs in world football right now, despite climbing up one spot in the rankings.

The Red Devils have not lifted the Premier League title since legendary former manager Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.

United have chopped and changed managers since Ferguson’s departure in a bid to climb back to the top of England’s top-flight league.

David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have all been shown the door at United, with Erik ten Hag now in the Old Trafford hotseat.
