Manchester United is a good team, what happens is that they do not have a good coach who specifies well what I must do as a player and what is their role in the team and how to face situations that may occur in the game, Cristiano Ronaldo, Cavani and Pogba are excellent players in addition to Bruno Fernandez who is on fire, a great player. If they don't change their coach they will continue to have the same mediocre results from last season. Manchester is not for Europa League is to fight the champions

It seems that not everything is perfect inside the team either. Paul Pogba delivered a clear message after the match: “We deserve to be defeated. To tell the truth, we have had such matches for quite some time now. We have not solved the problem - we are missing simple and stupid goals. We need to grow up, play with experience and arrogance in a good sense of the word. We need to find a solution, we need to change. "

It all takes two years, maybe more!They need Juan Mata to play at least one half, Van Der Beck should play for him.He doesn't use those players and he should VanBiSaka is bad for me, he just runs without an idea.
You can find it on almost all sports news.

I think Manchester lacks modern views on football. They're stuck in the past. Their path of development with Solskjaer and Ronaldo does not work. They need someone like Guardiola or Klop. Someone from a young German school to develop players

I have an odd perspective on the Premier League as I was deeply interested for a long time and then I just lost interest. I was an Arsenal fan. This season I am drawn back to the game (though it trails the NFL in terms of my interest) and I notice a few things about both Arsenal and Manchester United.
The season is still fairly early but both teams seem to lack direction and cohesion with both teams managed by ex-players. They both have first rate players (M U's are world class), but there doesn't really seem to be a team spirit or ethos or come to that real direction.
The problem being it is starkly obvious these days when a team is well managed and coached and when it is not. It is no longer just about the likes of Klopp or Guardiola...anyone can see teams such as Brentford and Brighton are well coached and brimming with positivity. Last night Arsenal scraped a draw against a superior Crystal Palace...but then Viera really does look like he has grown into the coaches role.
Sorry to say this but I think Solskjaer and Arteta are not ready to manage on this level (I never felt Arteta lifted the team as captain) but the issue is who would be available? When the biggest teams miss-time their managers recruitments it becomes a multi season problem.
By the by, I would not have brought Ronaldo back either.

when he first took over, mid-season in....was it early 2019? Yeah, must be, they finished 2nd under Mourinho in 2018.
Anyway, when he first took over, he benefitted from that new manager bounce that sometimes happens, especially if a lot of the players disliked the previous boss who'd just been fired. Basically you could put Bozo The Clown in caretaker charge and he'd get the same positive reaction from the players for a few games.
This honeymoon period lasted a couple of months, and after the upturn in form, and especially with the high they were on after that comeback in Paris, the board HAD to offer him the job permanently.
If they'd let him go at the end of the season in favour of a more established/experienced boss, and things had gone south (rather like they have now!), everyone would have said 'they should have just kept Solskjaer in charge.'
The last few weeks of the 2019 season, the new manager bounce had worn off, they were out of the cup competitions and their league form took a dive too, but it was too late.
It must have been the last day of that season when they suffered a bad home defeat and Pogba was arguing with fans (can't have been 2020 because the stadium would have been empty on the last day!) and Ole made a big song and dance about how they were going to offload the trouble makers or players with a bad attitude. After what everyone had just witnessed, you'd think Pogba would be the first to go. Instead he's almost become their franchise player - way to set an example.

Manchester United have an attacking team, and I would love to see Marcel Bjelsa on the Manchester United bench That man plays ingenious football with middle teams.

When he recorded good results I was against Solsker!
Does he know why?
If you follow the Manchester United ****** it was by force, there was no liquid action!
It was all kind of barely!:joyman:
Marcelo Bjelsa would be perfect for Manchester United:icon_sant

There are much better coaches who run smaller clubs in England Pl.
One of them is Marcelo Bjelsa, who plays attractive football with an extremely disciplined defense.
Arteta is a funny coach for me, Arsenal needs a serious coach who will lead them like Carlo Ancelotti or Conte.
I don’t know but I think they make mistakes when choosing a coach.
Recently, Barcelona wanted to bring in a coach who is on the bench of Belgium.
I forgot his name but I remember that coach never winning anything but the FA Cup to Wigan Atletico.
Belgium stronger national team or bad coach.:deal::joyman:

My team is Bayern Munich, but I like to watch English nsenal but I don't like the style of play of Manchester United.
It's all slow and the defense is a disaster!
If you remember before Manchester United had a very strong defense always, but now it is a lot of mistake.
VAN DE BEK is not playing and he should, the coach didn't even give him a chance

what was I saying about Pogba?! Came on, gave the ball away for Liverpool's fifth, and there wasn't time for anything else because he then needlessly got sent off for reckless play.
Seems more concerned about the blue in his hair than playing.

I agree that they should dismiss Solsker, but I don't think Conte is a good coach for them.
Maybe it's better to bring Low, he broke up with the German national team
Conte plays hard, they need someone to like fluttery style, attacking football.
They have been playing defensively all these years, which is why they have invested a lot in defense.
