Image source, Getty ImagesAfter a sixth-place finish in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's initial season, United ended the next two full campaigns in third and second - the highest consecutive league positions since Ferguson retired. They reached five semi-finals out of six in cup competitions.
Crucially though, they did not win any. The nearest they came was losing on penalties to Villarreal in the 2021 Europa League final when goalkeeper David de Gea's missed spot-kick proved decisive.
The lack of silverware was a problem.
"It was like an albatross he carried," said an insider. "Particularly in the second full year, people kept saying 'will he win something?'"
Despite this, internally there was belief in Solskjaer and his team. In July 2021 he was given a contract extension to 2024. Woodward said the foundations were now in place "for long-term success".
Cristiano Ronaldo's return was added to the big-money arrivals of Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane - and the Portugal superstar then scored twice on his second debut against Newcastle to send Manchester United top of the Premier League. The mood was euphoric.
It proved to be the ultimate false dawn.
BBC Sport has been told the United dressing room, almost exclusively, was thrilled by Ronaldo's arrival. Solskjaer felt the returning forward would set standards and show team-mates what was required to reach the top.
Ferguson wanted him. Woodward wanted him. The fans wanted him.
"The problem was the way Ole and Kieran McKenna set the team out - you couldn't carry too many players who didn't track back," said a dressing room source. "It needed legs - it needed press.
"The system had to change, which is fine to accommodate a big player, but Ole couldn't make it work. Ronaldo was effective but his arrival took something quite major out of a system he had been working on for two and a half years."
It unravelled in the space of six defeats in 11 games over two months, including that astonishing 5-1 home defeat by Liverpool. Losing at Watford - United conceded twice in stoppage time - proved to be the end.
There are those who think that was unfair.
As it turned out, first under the interim charge of Michael Carrick, then Ralf Rangnick, with the same group of players United won 10 and lost just two of their next 18 games.
Could Solskjaer have engineered that same turnaround in fortunes?
No-one will ever know. But, looking back, maybe his time in charge was not so bad after all.

Manchester United's league positions since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013 tell a stark story. From finishing seventh in the immediate aftermath of the legendary manager's departure to tumbling to 15th last season, the line on the graphic is as jagged as the club's search for stability.
Across that period, United have cycled through managers of contrasting philosophies, profiles and temperaments. David Moyes lasted less than a season. Louis van Gaal delivered an FA Cup but never convinced. Jose Mourinho brought trophies and turbulence in equal measure before his departure in December 2018, with United drifting and disconnected once more.
It was into this turbulent landscape that executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward turned back to a familiar face. In the wake of Mourinho's dismissal during the 2018-19 season, he called Ole Gunnar Solskjaer back to the club he had served so memorably as a player and a coach with a simple brief - bring a smile back to Old Trafford.
He did it almost by instinct.
When Solskjaer walked back into the Carrington training ground he knew so well and where he was so popular, he headed straight to beloved receptionist Kath Phipps and gave her a hug and a kiss and some of her favourite chocolates.
The impact went further and deeper.
By nature, Solskjaer is a positive person.
"An optimist to the limit," said a former colleague. "He sees good in everything.
"It was tiny things, like saying 'good morning, how are you doing?' Being human basically. Everything had been on a downer and was very flat. People weren't being themselves. He opened the door and got them to smile again."
The general mood became lighter and more upbeat, helped by a sensational run of eight wins in a row at the start of his reign, which extended to 14 victories, two draws and one defeat in his first 17 games
Solskjaer, it is stressed, was not turning the club back to the Ferguson era. But he felt there were elements of the Scot's regime that could work in the modern era.
He was big on standards. Dress code on away trips was altered as blazers and ties returned. Carrington became more inclusive. Access to the club canteen was widened.
He led United to the Champions League quarter-finals, something they have only managed twice since they were beaten by Barcelona at Wembley in the 2011 final.
That helped him secure a three-year contract as permanent manager.

Manchester United aim to continue their strong home form against an Everton side managed by former Red Devils boss David Moyes.
BBC Sport examines some of the key themes going into Monday night's meeting at Old Trafford.
Home comforts
Manchester United return to Premier League football unbeaten in five matches and their home form has particularly impressed during the mini-revival under head coach Ruben Amorim.
The Red Devils have won all four Premier League home fixtures since a 1-0 defeat by Arsenal on the opening weekend of the season, scoring 11 goals in total, and they next face an Everton side who have won just one of their past 32 Premier League visits to Old Trafford.
United have clearly improved in recent weeks, an upward curve underlined by their current tendency to get into good positions during matches.
They have held the lead for a total of 496 minutes and five seconds in the Premier League this season in just 11 games – already 140 minutes and 25 seconds longer than in 27 matches under Amorim in 2024-25.
Jekyll-and-Hyde performances
United do, however, remain vulnerable because of an apparent inability to sustain performances over 90 minutes.
They have failed to 'win' a second half in the league this season, conceding a league-high 14 goals after half-time in comparison to just four before the break.
United's failure to last the distance across 90 minutes cannot be blamed on a congested programme.
With no European football this season, United will have played only 12 games by 23 November (the day before this game) - their fewest during this period of any season since 1904.
And yet the substitutes' bench has repeatedly failed to make an impact.
A resurgent Casemiro has completed 90 minutes just once in this campaign and his withdrawal often has a negative impact, while subs have collectively provided one assist and no goals in the Premier League so far this season.
Everton's woeful Old Trafford record
The net result is that Everton may make the short trip from Merseyside with hope of springing an upset, despite a wretched record at Old Trafford.
The Toffees have won just once at United in the Premier League in the past 32 years, a 1-0 triumph in 2013 under Roberto Martinez - during which current manager David Moyes was in the home dugout.
Moyes has never won in 17 attempts as a visiting manager to Old Trafford in the Premier League (D4, L13) and righting that awful run may well depend on his strikers finally finding a way to fire this season.
Young centre-forward Thierno Barry received a standing ovation for his efforts after being taken off in the second half of Everton's 2-0 win over Fulham before the international break, but the 23-year-old remains goalless in 11 Premier League outings.
Beto, Everton's other option at number nine, has scored once in 11 games in the league this season.
Creative Everton struggling to score
Such struggles in front of goal are not down to a lack of creativity.
On-loan winger Jack Grealish remains joint top of the Premier League's assist charts with four, despite the fact they all came in his first three top-flight appearances for Everton.
The 30-year-old has since created 19 chances in seven matches but, crucially, none of them have been taken.
Fellow winger Iliman Ndiaye has been equally creative, with the duo leading the Premier League for expected assists from open play this season.
If Everton's strikers can find their feet in front of goal, a rare win at Old Trafford may await.
If the visitors waste further chances, it is perhaps more likely that United's revival under Amorim continues to gather pace.

Image source, Getty ImagesAfter two woeful seasons, optimism is growing around Old Trafford that United are moving in the right direction, yet it is only just over four years ago they finished second under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, scoring 73 goals, the most in a single campaign since Sir Alex Ferguson's era ended in 2013.
It leads to the question: is it time to reappraise Solskjaer's time as Manchester United boss? The topic feels relevant given that Friday marked four years since Solskjaer was sacked on 21 November 2021.
There is a narrative around Solskjaer that he was lucky to be appointed after Jose Mourinho's dismissal, that he should never have been given the permanent role and that his shortcomings were exposed after a terrible sequence of results.
But speaking to people involved in Solskjaer's appointment and dismissal, there is a more positive view.
"He is absolutely far better than many people give him credit for," said a source.
Solskjaer brought a smile back to Old Trafford, created a lighter mood, and delivered a sensational run of results at the start of his reign.
Against that backdrop, Solskjaer became permanent manager. His critics say this was a mistake, but those involved argue otherwise.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe Premier League will from next season move to a new system of Financial Fair Play (FFP) based on squad costs.
The clubs met in London on Friday to vote on three possible methods of replacing Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) got 14 votes in favour and six against, which is the minimum number that is required to exact a rule change.
Overall squad costs from next season will have to be limited to 85% of a club's revenue, although teams competing in Europe will have to adhere to Uefa's maximum of 70%.
Squad costs comprise player and manager wages, transfer fees and agents' fees.
Rules around sustainability, which set out a club's financial spending plans over the medium and long term, were passed unanimously.

Image source, Getty ImagesThe Premier League has announced the start and end dates for the 2026-27 season.
The first round of fixtures will take place across the weekend of 22 August 2026 - a week later than previous seasons.
The later start allows rest time for players - 89 clear days from the end of this season, and 33 days from the 2026 World Cup final.
The Premier League said the delay was a "priority" for player welfare in an "increasingly congested global football calendar".
The final matches of the season will be played on Sunday, 30 May 2027, with all fixtures kicking off simultaneously as usual.
The season will end a week before the 2027 Champions League final, which will be on Saturday, 5 June.
There will be 33 weekend and five midweek fixtures - the same as the current season.
For the festive period, the Premier League have said no two match rounds will take place within 60 hours.
It has not been confirmed if there will be any fixtures on 24 December 2026.
However, as Boxing Day falls on a Saturday, the Premier League has said there will be more matches scheduled than this season, when there is only one.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has been speaking to the media before Monday's Premier League game against Everton at Old Trafford (kick-off 20:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Benjamin Sesko and Harry Maguire will miss the Everton game, while Kobbie Mainoo is a doubt after missing training.
Sesko is expected to be out for a few weeks, but Amorim added: "It is not that serious. He is doing the recovery and he is feeling better, so in a few weeks I expect to have Ben."
Amorim expects to have Sesko back "about the same time" as Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo leave the squad to join up with Cameroon and Ivory Coast respectively for the Africa Cup of Nations, which starts on 21 December.
Mbeumo and Amad are due to leave Old Trafford two weeks before the start of the tournament, but Amorim added: "We are doing our job to try to maintain the players a little bit longer, but it is not just in our hands. We will try to do everything to protect the club, protect the players and protect the national teams."
On whether United can capitalise on a run of games against teams outside the top six: "If you know the history of our team you never know when it is the difficult games, so that is completely irrelevant in the Premier League."
Asked whether defender Lisandro Martinez could step into a midfield role when he returns to full fitness, Amorim said: "A smart, intelligent football player can play in a lot of positions, but it is not the right position for him. I feel Licha is becoming close to be ready able to play. We need to be careful, but he is clearly in a better position."
Amorim cast his mind back to his first game as Manchester United manager a year ago, saying it was clear to him the Premier League was the "best league in the world and Manchester United were maybe the best team in the world, but it was a big job with a lot of work".
In the present day, he says the team is now "more dominant, playing the better football and more competitive in every way".

Image source, Getty ImagesRuben Amorim was full of apologies when he arrived for his news conference 25 minutes later than scheduled on Friday.
The assembled journalists had already been told the planned 13:15 GMT start time would be delayed as training had started late.
But Amorim even missed the second deadline.
He said sorry a few times, then, jokingly, blamed the club official who sits with him at the news conference table.
When he was leaving, he asked the journalists not to write it was the official’s fault.
The Premier League does not like clubs to hold their media conferences after 13:30 on a Friday, even if, as in this instance, they are playing on a Monday.
I doubt United will get into trouble.

Image source, Getty ImagesIt has been a strange season at Manchester United, with long gaps between games because of due to no European football.
Now, when the Premier League is gearing up to start again, United must wait until Monday - when they face Everton. They do not have another Saturday game in the league until the Manchester derby at Old Trafford on 17 January.
Still, head coach Ruben Amorim is speaking to the media later on Friday.
I wonder if transfers are on the agenda - in particular whether reinforcements are likely in midfield.
United are sticking to their mantra of no big-money signings being likely in January, but midfield is clearly a priority and no-one should be surprised Elliott Anderson is on their radar - he very much put himself there with an outstanding performance in the 2-2 draw with Amorim's side at the City Ground at the start of this month.
I do think it would take a significant sale - Joshua Zirkzee for instance - for United to really make a move - and everyone is aware of Kobbie Mainoo's desire to play regularly to give himself the chance of making England's World Cup squad.
There are two issues. The first is Benjamin Sesko's injury, which Amorim should update on later.
The other is the impending departure of Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui to the Africa Cup of Nations.
I cannot see Amorim wanting to lose anyone before those three return from Morocco towards the end of next month.
Come back to this page later on Friday for all the key lines from Amorim.

Image source, Getty ImagesThis is the final part of our Q&A with BBC Sport's Manchester United reporter Simon Stone - scroll down for parts one and two, which were published earlier on Thursday.
Dave asked: After a year in charge, what have you seen so far from Ruben Amorim that differs from any other managers post-Sir Alex Ferguson?
Stone answered: David Moyes and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, in particular, will wish they had been given the patience and time Amorim has benefited from. Amorim knows he is fortunate Sir Jim Ratcliffe has stuck with him, but he also knows he needs to deliver, and for all the improvement - it has happened, but they did spend massively again in the summer - it all feels very delicate.
It wouldn't take much for five games without defeat to turn into five without a win, and United will be in the bottom half of the table. We were told after the eighth-place finish under Erik ten Hag it was not good enough. That standard should still apply.
United now have a run of 10 league games against opposition from outside the established 'big six'. Of those teams, only Aston Villa are currently above them.
I said at the start of the season that United should finish somewhere between fifth and seventh. I would expect them to be solidly in those positions - or maybe even fourth, given they have harder matches after that - by the end of that run.
If they are not, Amorim will be underachieving.

Image source, Getty ImagesOne of potentially the biggest moments in English football is coming on Friday, but precious few people understand how important it could be or even know about it.
The Premier League is considering 'anchoring' wages, which would cap the amount any club could spend on their squad at five times the smallest central Premier League broadcasting and prize money payout.
It is a complex argument. The league and some clubs are considering it because they want to ensure wage inflation does not continue to rise endangering their long-term financial security. From the other side - the players and their union, the PFA - this unnaturally limits the amount they can earn in what has until now been a free and open market.
Any changes to that position foisted upon the players without their prior consultation and agreement will not go down well. Remember, the players are the people that the paying public, the TV companies and the advertisers want to see, not a bunch of chairmen, executives and directors arguing over accounts, dividends and profit margins.
The game has increased the number of games played per season without consulting those who are physically doing it. No studies on how that will affect their health in the short and long term were considered, and so the PFA in England looks like it is finally ready to take a strong stand for its members.
Strike ballots are not unknown, I should know, as chairman of the PFA my name was on the bottom of every ballot paper when we last considered strike action over changes in working conditions. The modern owners may have forgotten, but we had 99% backing from our members.
Owners may think of footballers as ultra wealthy, mercenary, thickos who can easily be controlled - well they thought that last time and they lost.
It is time for serious and meaningful negotiation between equals and not a master and serf attitude from one side towards the other.

One of the biggest stories of the Premier League season so far is the decline of goals scored in open play and how teams have been scoring more from set-pieces instead.
When we compare how goals have been scored to the first 11 games last season, there have been 39 fewer scored in open play and 26 more from team set-pieces and penalties, giving us 13 fewer overall.
If we look at the bigger picture and the number of shots teams are taking, there have been an incredible 370 fewer in open play than at this stage last time out.
So which teams are most responsible for this change in how goals are scored this season?
The above graph compares how teams have gone up or down in numbers of set-piece and goals from open play compared with the same stage last season.
In terms of goals scored from open play, Wolves have seen by far the biggest decline, scoring just four in 11 games and that is 10 fewer than at this stage last season.
Outside of Wolves, the Premier League's decline in open play goals is very much a London thing, with five of the capital's seven sides scoring at least five goals fewer from open play than last season.
In fairness, that is largely down to them scoring lots of goals at the start of last season rather than them really struggling to score in open play this campaign.
Meanwhile Manchester City have seen the biggest increase, with all but one of their 23 goals scored this season coming in open play.
When it comes to goals scored from set-pieces (excluding penalties), Arsenal and Chelsea have seen the biggest increase, with both sides replacing the five fewer goals that they have scored in open play with the same number from dead-ball situation.
Manchester United have scored twice as many goals from set-pieces as they did in the 11 games before Ruben Amorim took charge last season.
On the flipside, Manchester City do not seem to have got the memo about scoring more from set-pieces because they've scored three fewer than last season, as have Nottingham Forest, although that might be down to the change in style they have tried to implement.
Simon Stone
Manchester United reporter
Image source, Getty ImagesManchester United head coach Ruben Amorim says his players need to change their mindset if they are to make progress.
The 40-year-old revealed he was frustrated following his side's 2-2 draw with Tottenham immediately before the international break because it underlined that he still has so much work ahead of him.
At the time, Amorim said he felt the game was won at 1-0, deep into the second half, but a chaotic ending meant United needed an injury-time equaliser from Matthijs de Ligt just to escape from north London with one point.
"When I left Tottenham to return to Carrington, I was really frustrated because it is so clear to me we are doing good things but we have so much to do," he said in an interview with the Premier League.
"We are so far from perfection. We should have more points in this moment."
Amorim said he was "shocked" by his side's performance in their defeats by Grimsby and Brentford, but he also admitted he expected the other negative issues he has endured this season.
One of those is the 13 goals Manchester United have conceded in the second half of matches, seven of which have come in their past three games.
"We lost Casemiro twice with some pain and Harry Maguire the same thing," said Amorim. "They are key players, not just in terms of the way they play and the experience they have, but also in terms of the set-pieces.
"But we lose intensity [without them]. When we have an advantage, we lose that thing where we continue to press in the same way.
"We think 'let's not suffer a goal' when the mindset should be 'we have one goal, we just need another opportunity to kill the game'.
"It is mental, but it is also physical. We need to also improve in that aspect."
Image source, Getty ImagesIn the second part of our Q&A with BBC Sport's Manchester United reporter Simon Stone, we take a look at Kobbie Mainoo's future and whether Ruben Amorim's philosophy impacts potential signings.
Alex asked: From having the world at his feet to being the forgotten man at Old Trafford - what is happening with Kobbie Mainoo? Does Amorim have him in his future plans at all?
Stone answered: This is a real headscratcher, Alex. My personal view is that Mainoo excelled in a poor team two seasons ago, and it was enough to get him into an England squad where he had Declan Rice to guide him around the pitch. The brutal reality is that Mainoo has weaknesses in his game positionally that he needs to work on. That is not unusual - he is only 20, don't forget.
One of the midfield positions is taken up by a player who has won everything at club level in Casemiro, the other by captain Bruno Fernandes. Then Amorim spent big on Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. I think Mainoo has a future under Amorim but it might not be this season.
I can also understand why he wants to go out on loan so he can play regularly and compete with the likes of Elliot Anderson, Adam Wharton and Alex Scott for an England place. I think it would be good to let him go out on loan - but I would like to see it accompanied by a contract extension.
Keith asked: Do you think we could miss out on signing good players that may become available because of Amorim's system and lack of flexibility?
Stone answered: Manchester United remains a fabulous proposition. I accept they might not be competing to sign the very best players at the moment, but Cunha and Mbeumo had a lot of options in the summer and chose Old Trafford.
I don't see United missing out on players because of Amorim's system - mainly because I don't see them trying to sign players who don't fit it. There are weaknesses in the current squad that are clear for all to see. But I don't envisage a shortage of agents pushing players in United's direction. The key, as always, is buying the right ones.
Come back later on Thursday for part three of Simon's Q&A.
Image source, Getty ImagesIn the first part of our Q&A with BBC Sport's Manchester United reporter Simon Stone, we look at the Red Devils' ability to do business in this January transfer window.
Lee asked: How much money is likely to be available for the January transfer window? Will it depend on selling players like Joshua Zirkzee and others who are not playing regularly?
Simon answered: To an extent, Lee, yes. But I get the very strong impression United will not go for someone just for the sake of it. The Zirkzee issue - and that of Kobbie Mainoo for that matter - needs resolving in January, but I would be staggered if United were willing to let either player go before the Africa Cup of Nations is finished - or at least until Cameroon and the Ivory Coast are out.
The futures of people like Harry Maguire and Casemiro, who are out of contract at the end of the season, are uncertain - as is whether United qualify for Europe, and what competition they are in. If Zirkzee or Mainoo go, they will need replacing, but which top players will be available in January - and how much would they cost?
I have seen Conor Gallagher's name mentioned a few times and can see the attraction with that. But he would not really be replacing Zirkzee. That would be a backup for Casemiro, I would have thought.
Ashley asked: Do you think Manchester United have a chance of signing Marc Guehi? Also, is the club interested in Antoine Semenyo?
Simon answered: The Guehi one feels like a good idea, but he was so close to signing for Liverpool in the summer that if he stays in the Premier League, Anfield is where I expect him to go.
The central defensive situation is an interesting one because Matthijs de Ligt has been outstanding this season, Lisandro Martinez is close to full fitness, and while he may be eased back into the first-team picture, the competition with Luke Shaw for the left-sided slot in the three-man defence is strong, while United spent a lot of money on Leny Yoro and Amorim clearly rates him. I can see defensive reinforcements, but that area is a bit uncertain just now.
As for Semenyo, having spent £200m on Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha - and with Mason Mount, Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes also capable of playing in the number 10 roles, I just cannot see that happening. The priority will be in other areas, I think.
Come back later on Thursday for part two of Simon's Q&A.

The tournament runs from 21 December until 18 January.
There has been no official announcement about which date clubs will have to release their players by - and it could vary depending on agreements.
Players could miss up to six, or in some cases seven, Premier League matches - plus FA Cup and Carabao Cup games - if they reach the final.
The group stages end on 31 December, so quickly eliminated players may only miss half that amount.
