Man United have fallen so far behind that it doesn’t matter who the manager is. Look at the way Man City,Liverpool etc do things off the pitch in terms of recruitment + structure. Light years ahead of United. For so many years United have gone for the quick fix instead of a plan.

Don’t understand all the attention been given to Ronaldo lack of pressing. As he has got older he has modified his game which allows him to be sharp when the ball reaches him. Conserving energy is the reason he has 5 goals in 5 games.

Some will point at Ten Hag but it doesn’t matter who’s in charge. Years of mismanagement with a collection of players from different managers. Recruitment is poor + when they miss out on players rarely do you see a back up which then leads to desperation signings. Zero identity.

Lukaku potentially leaving @ManUtd makes sense for both. Very good player but I don’t think he fits into the way that Solskjaer wants to play. Lukaku out and out centre forward and it’s seems Solskjaer wants a fluid front 3 that can fluctuate through middle and out wide.

If Wan-Bissaka deal is nearly done then it’s a great signing for United and hopefully the beginning of an identity that’s been lost over last few years. Young hungry players who have room to grow is the way forward rather than too many quick fixes over recent seasons.
