Manchester United used to dominate the Premier League.
During Alex Ferguson’s reign as manager, the team won 13 league titles – a record that’s unlikely to be beaten.

To understand just why the team’s glory days are a distant memory look beyond what happens on the pitch and take a closer look at how the owners – the American Glazer family who are the majority shareholders, and Jim Ratcliffe who bought 25 per cent of the club – are doing their business.
