Manchester United Baby Clothes
Changes at Old Trafford
The Manchester United infant tracksuit is a perfect way to bring young, new fans into the fold of this legendary English soccer team, but as we mentioned earlier, that won't entirely fix the team's current woes.
Prior to the 2013 2014 season, Manchester United was on fire, winning the English Premier League more often than not, and qualifying for UEFA tournaments and championships with startling regularity. Much of the success had to be due to Alex Ferguson, who managed the football club from 1986 to 2013. He was simply the perfect fit for Manchester United, and he got incredibly strong results out of his team nearly every year he coached them.
When Ferguson retired after Man United won a record 20th league title in 2013, it was common knowledge in the soccer community that he wasn't going to be an easy guy to replace. The higher-ups at the club ultimately settled on David Moyes, who had spent 10 years with Everton and been roundly praised for his accomplishments there.
Finding the Right Fit
However, while Moyes may be a good manager, he wasn't the right fit for Manchester United, and the team ended up performing dismally in 2013 and 2014. A seventh place finish in the division was the bottom of the barrel for a team that had hardly ever finished outside of the Premier League top three, and a failure to qualify for a single UEFA tournament added even more sting to the defeat.
Moyes was dismissed 10 months after his appointment, and now, it appears that Netherlands national team coach, Louis van Gaal, will be taking the manager job at Old Trafford. After the success that The Netherlands has seen at this year's World Cup winning all three of its group stage matches van Gaal seems like a natural choice for the Manchester United job.
However, if the situation with Moyes has proved anything, it's that a manager proven in coaching winning teams doesn't mean that manager will be a good fit with every team. Van Gaal and Manchester United might have to go through a period of adjustment before they can truly formulate a synergetic partnership.
In other words, just like it takes some time for your child to go from wearing a Manchester United infant tracksuit to becoming a passionate fan of the football club, it also takes time for a team and a manager to fit together. After all, even Alex Ferguson nearly faced dismissal at Manchester United after several disappointing seasons at the beginning of his tenure.
Then again, being a fan of a football club means sticking by your team in good times and bad, and if you buy the Manchester United baby clothes from Soccer Box, then that is undoubtedly the precedent you are setting for your children.
