Instead of resetting when Sir Alex Ferguson retired, I feel that Man United were overly concerned with keeping up with their old standard. However, the club was run like such a mess that they had to overpay players to go there. Which they did. And now they're suffering the consequences of that. I'm a Barcelona fan, but with a club like Real Madrid, the standard set, goes beyond the Manager. It feels like, with United, Ferguson set the standard and without him, it all fell apart. Starting with the top of the organization. Ferguson masked a lot of those issues.
