]]>Bruno Fernandes is making Manchester United forget about the wantaway Pogba and they are close to completing their midfield overhaul.
Solskjaer’s approval ratings are high enough again for the Old Trafford choirmasters to rejig Ole’s at the wheel, a metaphor still used by the oblivious in discussions surrounding the United manager’s position. Football fans from around the world can purchase Premier League Football Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.
It has not been aired since August. Manchester United have not got Alexis Sanchez for now, and have not got Paul Pogba for much longer.
They have got Matic, Fernandes, and Fred in a midfield succession plan that is nearing completion.
Manchester United Pogba ankle injury
Ankle injury Pogba sustained at Southampton can, at this premature juncture, be classed as retrospectively working in Manchester United’s favor.
Scott McTominay and Fred have established themselves in the Manchester United side and the prolonged absence of Pogba two cameos in just over five months had a major bearing on the mid-season move for Fernandes, a source of irritation in the summer and now inspiration.
Sunday marked a month since Fernandes made his Manchester United debut and, unlike certain Latino predecessors at the club, he is unlikely to peak in his first four weeks.
Jordan Pickford deserved an assist for the goal at Goodison Park, though Fernandes had three of Manchester United’s five attempts on target six overall, delivered more crosses than any teammate, and embarked on the most dribbles.
Solskjaer saying
“I cannot really look at it that way,” Solskjaer replied when asked if he wished Fernandes had arrived sooner in January.
I’m very happy he is here. You do understand Sporting wanting to keep him until the last minute because he was such an influential player for them as well. I do not look at it that way, no.”
Manchester United lost four times in January and are unbeaten in six with Fernandes.
Roy Keane said I do not need stats when it comes to analyzing particular players and nobody can credibly dispute Fernandes’s class on these early impressions.
He fashioned openings Mason Greenwood and Odion Ighalo spurned in the second half, and his heat maps in the last four starts show Fernandes operates most productively in the left attacking midfield area that is preferred by Pogba.
No proper Manchester United supporter can side with Pogba over the club. He has remained mum while his agent has ridiculed Solskjaer and Pogba’s last social media post read, the play never stops for the love of’ a soft drink.
Manchester United are a poorer team without Pogba and a club better off without him. He and his agent have undermined two Manchester United managers and the executive vice-chairman, and Pogba has been knowingly offered to Manchester City and Real Madrid.
It can’t be a coincidence his last spell of form was just before Real Madrid reappointed Zinedine Zidane last March. Pogba was soon fluttering his eyelashes from the France national team’s Clairefontaine base.
Fernandes Recruiting in the winter window
Recruiting Fernandes in the winter window may salvage Manchester United’s season and possibly make them a credible force next season. Rather than hurriedly arrive at a pre-season camp in another continent after the European Championship.
He will have been embedded at Manchester United for at least six months and familiar with the level of expectation. He is currently exceeding it.
Fernandes combined the most with Fred at Everton, where the Brazilian was more central than McTominay, guilty of getting too much chalk on his boots in the diamond.
Fred, McTominay and soon Fernandes will have claimed player of the month awards at Manchester United for the season, and it is testament to their standing that all three were accommodated at Goodison in a formation that Carlo Ancelotti belatedly neutered.
Matic, too, has enjoyed a lease of life. Manchester United has still not triggered the one-year extension in his contract but the presumption is they will, and retaining Matic might not just be a measure to obtaining a fee in the summer.
The 31-year-old excelled again at Everton after a midweek rest.
Keeping Matic for another year would ease the midfield transition after Manchester United failed to reinforce their midfield last year, despite selling Marouane Fellaini and losing Ander Herrera.
The benchmark clubs in the Premier League have a pool of at least six reliable midfielders and Manchester United accept they are short, and unflatteringly described the area was populated by bodies in October.

]]>Manchester United host Watford in the Premier League on Sunday evening. Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could hand Odion Ighalo his first start since completing his loan move to Old Trafford in the January transfer window.
The former Watford man has come on as a substitute in Manchester United’s last two games against Chelsea and Club Brugge. Football fans from around the world can purchase Premier League Football Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.
Manchester United traveled to Club Brugge on Thursday night for their 1-1 draw in the Europa League, with Anthony Martial starting up top for the Red Devils.
And Martial could be joined by Ighalo for Manchester United’s Premier League clash against Watford 2 pm kick-off.
Solskjaer could play the pair up top in Manchester United’s 3-5-2 formation.
Speaking ahead of Manchester United draw at Club Brugge, Solskjaer admitted he hoped to play Mason Greenwood against the Belgium side.
However, the youngster is struggling with an illness and missed out.
Should Greenwood miss Manchester United’s Premier League clash against Watford, Solskjaer may opt to chuck in Ighalo against his old side or play Daniel James alongside Martial.
Solskjaer MUTV Interview
“We remained thinking Greenwood and Mason for this game,” Solskjaer told MUTV ahead of Manchester United draw at Club Brugge.
“He did not feel fine so now Anthony starts and Odion will possibly come on. We have got sufficiently of games coming up. There is not too much among players and we need to have rivalry between places.”
If we are to be fruitful in the league, the Europa League and FA Cup we need everybody, and today was a chance to give them a chance because we played Monday.
It was a physical and conceptual test for everybody. So we made a few variations. Solskjaer strangely liable the Europa League ball for their draw beside Club Brugge on Thursday even.
It was a difficult game against a well-organized team in difficult conditions, he said. I do not think it was one of the best games that anyone’s seen.
A bit messy concentration-wise, but the circumstances with the pitch and the ball makes it tough. It is just different and problematic to play with. You can get one and try! It is light.
But it is the same for the two teams, of course. But the conditions were not nice, the wind and the rain. But anyway, strange goals for both teams.
Their throw-in we counted from and a long thrill traditional through the middle, so lack of attentiveness probably from both squads there.
We needed to make everyone part of the squad so I made changes, gave them games.
We have got so many games now, so we got an away goal, we got a draw. We go home next week so expectantly, we can finish the occupation.
Man Utd predicted squad against Watford:
De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Bailly; Matic, Fred, Fernandes, Williams, Martial, Ighalo, Wan-Bissaka.

]]>Manchester United’s overhaul began last summer with three major signings and the departure of six senior players.
Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Daniel James arrived, while Romelu Lukaku, Matteo Darmian, Antonio Valencia, Ander Herrera, Alexis Sanchez, and Chris Smalling exited. Football fans from around the world can purchase Premier League Football Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.
It was the first time in several years that the club allowed so many established players to depart in a single window.
Marouane Fellaini, Ashley Young, and Marcos Rojo have also been shown the door on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s watch.
There is a clear-out going on at Old Trafford and it was always going to take time to reshape this squad, regardless of the manager’s identity. It will continue this summer.
Nemanja Matic’s deal also runs out at the end of June but Manchester United has the option to extend it by a further year and he has done enough in 2020 to warrant an extra 12 months.
Phil Jones and Jesse Lingard, though, have had chances enough at Manchester United and should be shifted. Andreas Pereira is worthy of another year in a more peripheral role.
Angel Gomes finds himself in an identical situation to Chong, whereby he is out of contract at the end of the season. Gomes would be a greater loss than Chong and United should try to keep him.
Both players have offers on the table from Manchester United but have been free to negotiate moves with overseas clubs since January 1. Dean Henderson should be good for a third successive loan spell at Sheffield United.
In terms of arrivals, the caliber of player Manchester United will be able to attract will depend largely on whether they make it into next season’s Champions League.
Manchester United Targets
Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish, Leicester’s James Madison, and Donny van de Beek of Ajax are all serious targets. Grealish has the Premier League experience that Van de Beek lacks and he is enjoying a far greater individual campaign than Maddison.
Added to that, Manchester United’s current squad lacks leaders and he is the Villans’ captain.
Jadon Sancho of Borussia Dortmund would be a statement and suitable signing but one suspects he will be unattainable if qualification for Europe’s premier club competition is not achieved.
But we are talking best-case scenario here, and in the best-case scenario, Manchester United are in the Champions League.
That is why Paul Pogba also takes his place in the squad. Manchester United has the power to keep him at the club until 2022 but dressing room sources have told the MEN the Frenchman has informed teammates he wants to leave this summer.
He is Manchester United’s best midfielder, though, and the chances of the club finding a superior replacement for him is slim to none.
Odion Ighalo’s loan deal does not include an option for Manchester United to buy and it would be premature to think the club will want to come at the end of the season.
Raul Jimenez was linked in January and he, like Grealish, is Premier League-proven. At 28 years old he is an experienced head but still young enough that Manchester United would get several years out of him. Mexico forward has already scored 20 goals for Wolves this season.

]]>Tim Sherwood believes that Anthony Martial has been playing out of position for Manchester United. Tim Sherwood relies on that Martial is much more operative as a winger than a number nine for Manchester United.
The Red Devils have had to rely on Martial as one of their main attacking players this season after the injury to Rashford and the exits of Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez in the summer last year. Football fans from around the world can purchase Premier League Football Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.
The 24-year-old France international has scored eight goals and made three assists in 19 Premier League games this season and he has also netted four times in the cup competitions for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men.
Manchester United bolstered their attacking line-up in the January transfer window when they sealed a deal to bring Odion to the club on loan for the rest of the campaign.
And former Tottenham Hotspur manager Sherwood feels that the Red Devils will benefit from having an out-and-out striker in their squad.
Sherwood Statement
Speaking in the wake of Manchester United’s goalless draw with Wolves at the weekend, Sherwood said on The Weekend Review: “What they are missing is quite glaring, an attacking force.
“They have not got a No 9 still. Martial was an entire shame in my view, Romelu Lukaku slashes another two goals for Inter at the weekend to rub salt in the injuries. Run around or put yourself in positions where you are going to score a goal.”
Ole said last week: I want someone to break their nose or break their toe trying to score a goal this kid is not going to do it for you.
He is not going to do it, he is not putting himself in positions, does not want to put himself on offer, he needs to.
That is when he is at his utmost daring. If you are going to play him, play him off the left. To be fair to Ighalo, he backs in.
We have seen him in the Premier League at Watford, he backs in, he wants to hold people off, and he is not frightened to take shots, potshots. I think he will play a lot.
Manchester United is currently seventh in the Premier League table and they will return to top-flight action after their winter break when they travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea on Monday 17 February.

]]>Manchester United has a 16-day gap between Premier League fixtures and will leave for their warm-weather training camp on Saturday. Odion is expected to travel with the Manchester United squad to their winter training camp.
Ighalo, 30, completed a five-month loan move to Manchester United on transfer deadline day and arrived in Manchester over the weekend. Football fans from around the world can purchase Premier League Football Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.
The Shanghai Shenhua striker could make his debut against fourth-placed Chelsea on February 17 but injured midfielders Scott McTominay knee and Paul Pogba ankle will not take part in the warm weather training.
Manchester United has granted their players time off until they leave for their training base on Saturday, though the club has refused to specify where they are traveling to.
Manchester United is believed to be staying in Marbella, where manager Solskjaer took former club, Molde, for pre-season training in 2018.
Solskjaer sayings
“They will have a week or so off and we have caught more days break since we are playing Chelsea on Monday,” Solskjaer said. So we will get together on Saturday and we will have a decent camp, working on different things.
Of course, we have got a few new players; hopefully, we can integrate them into the squad. The players have been fantastic. We have had to, with all the injuries we have had, rely on many of these to maybe play more games than they should, and they’ve been brilliant.”
Yes, we have had ups and downs, but it shows that we do miss the injured players so, yeah, it will be a nice break, and I think it is about time we had that in England. I contemplate all squads will get their energy stages back.
Solskjaer moderated the contrast with the Manchester United teams he played in that were more solid in the second halves of terms. Of course, we are a different squad to the championship-winning squad that Sir Alex Ferguson had; you cannot expect this group of players now.
They have not had that experience of winning and having that, but that will come in the next few years.
That is what we are working for and that is why those players are here because I can see the Manchester United character in them.
Manchester United January Transfer Window
Manchester United made three additions in the January window in Ighalo, Bruno Fernanda’s, and 20-year-old goalkeeper Nathan Bishop, while Ashley Young left permanently and Marcos Rojo was loaned to Estudiantes.
Solskjaer again stressed the squad cannot carry players who are not focused on succeeding at Manchester United.
I have been asked to do this job, Solskjaer reiterated. I think the fans see what we are trying to do and it had to be done. As I have said last week, three weeks ago, four weeks ago, five weeks ago, it’s a rebuild.
You had to tear the house down and you had to get players out that we’re not here in their minds.
We have got performers here now who will go that additional yard, that philosophy I need to set, that is the Manchester United philosophy.
I know we are not in the Sir Alex Ferguson era, but the players that we have, they have the right mentality, and they are good personalities. That, for me, is the first tick. You do not stay here if you do not give everything to this team.

]]>Manchester United finished a late target day signing of former Watford striker Odion Ighalo previous night. Ighalo, 30, joins on credit until the end of the term from Shanghai Shenhua, but will not perform in the Premier League match vs. Wolves this evening.
Ighalo is due to hover to Manchester in the upcoming days and might make his debut beside Chelsea in two weeks. Football fans from around the world can purchase Premier League Football Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.
Solskjaer could hand a debut to Bruno today following his £46.5million move to Manchester United on Thursday.
There were no loan moves for Aidan Barlow and James Garner as they both featured in Manchester United U23’s victory at Norwich last night.
Youth goalkeeper Nathan Bishop from Southend United was the club’s other January signing. In terms of outgoings, Marcos Rojo joined Estudiantes on loan this week after the departure of Ashley Young earlier in the month.
The Manchester United squad numbers Odion Ighalo might take
Former Watford striker Ighalo, 30, has been playing for Shanghai Greenland Shenhua since 2018. Before that, he consumed two terms at Changchun Yatai after his three productive terms at Watford.
The Nigerian global has also signified Udinese, Granada, and AC Cesena throughout his career. Now Ighalo has joined Solskjaer’s team, we have observed at the team numbers he might take at Old Trafford.
His current no.9 shirt at Shanghai is taken by Anthony Martial, with the 24 shirt from his time at Watford also unavailable.
Manchester United fans say the same thing after Ighalo transfer agreement
Manchester United fans are hopeful Odion Ighalo has all the attributes to be a perfect short-term addition at the club after the Nigerian striker signed in a six-month loan deal.
Ighalo, 30, joins from Shanghai Shenhua on loan until the end of the season. He will initially be tasked with providing cover for Marcus Rashford’s injury and offering competition to the likes of Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood.
While the transfer will raise eyebrows given Ighalo’s recent spell in China and his age, fans felt that his record in the Premier League while at Watford means he can be a success at Manchester United.
Ighalo scored 40 goals with 11 assists in 100 appearances for Watford as part of his overall record of 131 goals and 26 assists in 322 career appearances. For Nigeria, Ighalo has 16 goals in 34 covers.
Manchester United agree deal to sign Odion Ighalo
Manchester United has decided on a contract to sign striker Odion Ighalo on a six-month credit deal.
The 30-year-old, who has been playing for the Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua, is expected to arrive to travel to Manchester in the next few days to complete a surprise last-minute transfer after Spurs ended a late offer for the onward.
Solskjaer hinted the club was exploring the possibility of a loan move for a striker with Marcus Rashford out injured and a late move was made for the former Watford striker.
Manchester United had failed in a bid to bring Bournemouth striker Josh King earlier in the day on Friday but managed to seal a deal for Ighalo before the 11 pm deadline.
The deal is understood to be a six-month agreement with no option to buy at the end and official confirmation may take some time due to the time difference.

]]>Yesterday, Manchester United put all the rumors to bed once and for all by confirming the agreement with Sporting CP for the signing of Bruno Fernandes.
Manchester United now have to officially agree personal terms and complete medical with the Portuguese international to seal the capture before the closure of the winter transfer window. Football fans can book Premier League Football Tickets on our website on exclusively discounted prices.
As far as the personal terms are concerned, multiple media outlets have reported that the 25-year-old is set to put pen to paper on a four-and-a-half-year deal with the Red Devils (Mirror Sport).
On the other hand, The Express has reported that Fernandes will get a salary of £150,000-a-week. So if reports are anything to go by then the entire worth of the four-and-a-half-year deal will be £35million.
A decent pay package but if he does end up signing the above-mentioned contract then he will earn less than a few key Old Trafford stars.
We fought hard to beat Manchester City last night but the victory was not enough to get us through to the final of the League Cup. Let’s hope that Fernandes will hit the ground running to improve us straightaway.
Club legend, Gary Neville, thinks that the Seleccao attacker is a quality player but he needs time to settle in the Premier League (Mirror Sport). The retired defender told Sky Sports:
Gary Neville report About Manchester United Fernandes
“I think it will take him a little time in England to settle in. He will need some time. But they have got a good, quality player in the building. Ultimately we should not be sat here thinking he is going to be amazing straight away.”
As far as Fernandes’ debut is concerned, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that the attacker is fit and ready to play. So, if the transfer terms and medical is finalized quickly today then it will not be shocking to see the player make his debut vs. Wolves.
In my view for the weekend’s fixture, he might not get proper time to gel with the new players and the new system. So, the manager should let the former Serie A star settle and start him after the winter break.
It is the second time this season that they have defeated their rivals at the Etihad Stadium following December’s triumph in the Premier League.
And with Bruno Fernandes’ signing close to being completed, things may be looking up for the Red Devils. The chance for silverware remains.
Manchester United will take on Club Brugge in the Europa League round-of-32 next month and they’re through to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
A trophy would heavily boost Solskjaer’s chances of leading Manchester United into next season following an inconsistency league campaign in which his tactical nous has been questioned more than once.
Bruno Responds to Reporters Asking Him If He is Joining Man Utd
Manchester United is believed to be close to agreeing a deal for Fernandes in a transfer worth a reported £46.5 million-plus £21 million in add-ons.
The Portuguese midfielder is unsurprising to land at Carrington on Wednesday to experience a restorative in front of finishing his exchange to the Old Trafford club.
On Tuesday night after news broke after an exchange being concurred, Fernandes’ companion Carolina Deslandes posted an image of the player with a plane emoticon, indicating a potential outing to England.
He was likewise tested by columnists about his latent capacity move and when inquired as to whether the Premier League was his inclination, the 25-year-old answered: It generally was.
At the point when pushed on a change to United, he stated: Anything truly. Fernandes is set to sign a four-and-a-half-year contract with the alternative of one more year.
The assault disapproved of star delighted in a breakout battle last season as he said something with an amazing 33 objectives in all rivalries, remembering 20 for the Primeira Liga.
He has effectively 15 objectives in all rivalries this season as he approaches a transition to England’s top flight.
Betway make Fernandes 1/25 to join Manchester United before the finish of the exchange window with him at 8/1 to wait.
Should he join the Red Devils, he is 10/1 to have at least 10 helps among now and the finish of the battle, a region where Manchester United has hugely battled.

]]>The Manchester United legend took over from Moyes on an interim basis during a disastrous season following Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement.
Ryan Giggs believes the expectation of taking over the Premier League champions and Manchester United’s aging squad were the two main factors that contributed to David Moyes’ downfall at Old Trafford. Football fans from around the world can purchase Premier League Football Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.
The Manchester United great was a 13-time league winner under Sir Alex Ferguson before taking on a player-coach role when Moyes replaced the legendary Scot in 2013.
The former Everton boss, of course, did not last the season before he was sacked and Giggs took over on an interim basis. And Giggs had plenty of sympathy with Moyes’ plight.
Ryan Giggs about Manchester United
“There were two ways of looking at the job that David had inherited,” he told The Coaches Voice. “Usually, a new manager takes charge of a team that is struggling or has had a bad run of games. Instead, he was taking over at the champions.”
But it was also a team with some key players coming towards the end of their careers at the club.
Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra, Nemanja Vidic, myself, we were all approaching the end in one way or another, and that would have been difficult for any manager coming in. Plus, every coach wants to put their stamp on a team.
Giggs then reflected on his four-game stint in charge of Manchester United, which he believes has set him up for his managerial career. He is now in charge of his country Wales and has achieved qualification for Euro 2020.
By the end of that season, I had four games to do just that for me, he added.
Giggs academy discussion
I had good people around me Phil Neville was already a coach at Manchester United, Nicky Butt was in the academy, and Paul Scholes came in too, although the difficult part was that I was still a player.
That meant I was picking or not picking some of my mates, teammates with whom I had shared a dressing room for a long time. Also, I knew it was my last year as a player and I had wanted to enjoy it as much as I could, which, in the end; I probably never managed to do.
But I got the chance to manage Manchester United and nothing prepares you for the experience of being in that hot-seat. The feeling of being in that office after training, picking your team for the next game, players knocking on your door:
It was an unbelievable experience. I put myself under a lot of pressure to win those four games and it was in that time that I came to know I had the mentality to become a manager.

]]>Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba continues to be linked with an exit from Old Trafford and his agent Mino Raiola has spoken. Mino Raiola has told Juventus fans not to abandon their dream of bringing Paul Pogba back to the club from Manchester United.
French midfielder Pogba has only played for Manchester United eight times this season and is currently recovering from ankle surgery but that has not prevented his future from being a hot topic of conversation. Football fans from around the world can purchase Premier League Football Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.
Pogba admitted last year he was looking for a new challenge in his playing career while Raiola also admitted he was in the process of engineering a move away from the club.
Juventus and Real Madrid both continue to be linked with a move for the World Cup winner, and Raiola has urged supporters of the Italian champions not to give up hope of re-signing Pogba.
Mino Raiola saying about Manchester United Pogba
“Juve fans must dream, since if you do not dream, then you are deceased,” he said. I don’t work in dreams but in the physical world so have to create the right selections for my clients. This is not the right instant to say what Paul’s forthcoming will be.”
Speaking earlier in the week Raiola insisted he has a positive relationship with Manchester United despite the mounting doubts over the future of Pogba.
I expect my performers to be pleased and I imagine the clubs to be pleased, Raiola said.
I do not want to work in front of what will be happening in the summer. He needs to become fit then it is my job to get both bashes happy if probable.
If both bashes are not pleased there are other ways to decide it but that is not the manner to talk today.
I do not say anything for sure. Only one thing is for sure in life. One day, you die. Today he is not pleased because he is not in performance.
But he went back to Manchester United when a lot of people didn’t think he would. People forget that. Paul Pogba’s negotiator Raiola says the midfielder may contemplate departure Manchester United in the summer.
A lot of folks did not think he would have gone back to Manchester United; people incline to visualize that Manchester United was the only club he could have hired for.
That was not the circumstance. He chose Manchester United. Perhaps Ferguson did not like that but he picked Manchester United. Raiola was recited last month signifying that he would stop transporting his players to Old Trafford as the conjecture over Pogba’s upcoming rumbles on.
Club Relationship of Raiola
On his association with the club, Raiola said: “I think it is good, it is a professional, honest relationship. I have never spoken to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s I hear he is a fantastic person and fantastic man.”
Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes’ agent Jorge Mendes has suggested that a different club could be in for the Sporting Lisbon midfielder in the summer if Manchester United do not wrap up a deal during January.

That record is worse than all of David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Mourinho as the cracks continue to show. Moyes lasted less than a season at Manchester United after Ferguson but even he mustered a win-rate of 56 percent on home turf.
Mourinho is miles above both of them at 65.2 percent but the top spot goes to Van Gaal at 66 percent. The record will be a real worry for Solskjaer who is under ever-increasing pressure at Manchester United.
The former Molde and Cardiff boss 46 got off to a roaring start after taking over from Mourinho on an interim basis. But after being given the job permanently in March 2019, United’s form fell off a cliff.
Manchester United Premier League review
The Red Devils have won just eight times, home or away in their 21 Premier League matches this term. They sit a staggering 27 points behind arch-rivals Liverpool in the league, something that would have been unthinkable under Fergie.
Manchester United’s next game will be at home as they take on bottom-of-the-league Norwich. Solskjaer arguably would not have a better chance to boost his paltry winning record at home.
A victory on Saturday would see his percentage take a minor bump up to 54.8 percent, still behind Moyes and Co.
In the wake of Manchester United’s dreadful run of form, Solskjaer has revealed ALL of his squad are under the microscope and are now playing for their futures.
With 10 players out of contract between now and the summer of 2021, they ought to heed that warning sooner rather than later.
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to bring in a sports psychologist to improve his players’ mentality against lesser sides. Manchester United has lost to relegation candidates Crystal Palace, West Ham, Newcastle, Bournemouth, and Watford in the league this season.
The Norwegian coach has become disillusioned with his side’s inability to turn up against smaller clubs, with Manchester United’s complacency leaving them six points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea albeit with one game in hand.
Manchester United have performed surprisingly well against the top-six outfits, registering wins against Manchester City, Chelsea, and Tottenham, but Solskjaer is desperate to have the best of both worlds.
The Sun report
According to The Sun, Manchester United boss instructed staff to find the best sports psychologist they can to remedy the side’s woes against bottom-half opposition.
Solskjaer has accepted that he has been unable to inspire his players to prepare mentally in the same manner for games not on the grand stage and is now open to outside help.
Manchester United’s next Premier League test comes against 14th-placed Burnley at Old Trafford on Wednesday night and Solskjaer will be keeping a close on which players turn up for the occasion.
The Red Devils have drawn their last three home games against the Clarets with Victor Lindelof’s injury-time equalizer salvaging a 2-2 draw last term. Burnley head into the game off the back of a shock 2-1 win over Leicester on Sunday, before which they had lost four successive top-flight games.
Solskjaer is aware of the task facing his side and believes Manchester United will need to graft hard to earn three points.
Solskjaer saying
“We played them two or three weeks ago,” the 46-year-old said. “Man Utd had to work hard to get the points. We played well, we defended well, and, every time we play against Sean Dyche’s team, we know we have to earn it.
“He is Dyche doing fantastic, I have to say. That is all I can say.”
We can talk about resources and his players; we can talk about us being stretched, that we are missing players now. Of course, he is missing the injured Ashley Barnes and they have got players that can come in.
Looking back to the mettle his side showed last season in the 2-2 draw, Solskjaer added: Last season here was the first time I saw the players coming back from a setback.
We were 2-0 down with seven or eight minutes to go, we got back into the game with 2-2, so we are going to approach this game as we would do if they had won five in a row. They will always give you a tough game.
