Manchester United reporter notebook: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be given time at Old Trafford
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer keeps most lovers along with the backing of the Manchester United power-brokers, and is awarded time and money to turn his fortunes around says Sky Sports News writer James Cooper.
Manchester United are in transition, that is exactly what they want all to know. What they can not tell you is the transition will take and just why things are as hard as they are right now.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said on many occasions that therell be no morebumps in the road or evenups and downs. What nobody seems to have been prepared for is how large some of these bumps have been this season, and that which represents anup in an environment whendowns have become the norm.
The truth is stark. Just two Premier League victories so far this season, 11 away fixtures without a win, 1 goal in the past 3 games and a 12th place that places Manchester United two points above the drop-zone, plus a few 15 brief of their next opponents: league-leaders Liverpool.
But, to be fair to Solskjaer, the following fact is an important one. He has only been able to perform his strongest team after this year, something that he hasnt hidden behind and has 10 of his first team squad on the sidelines.
On Saturday he told me that a win at Newcastle will bevital to change the mood within the club going into the international break, however that didnt happen and the subsequent 13 days now take on a new meaning for the manager and his group.
Solskjaer must hope he can get back some of the significant and senior members of the squad. Paul Pogba is obviously a priority but adding Luke Shaw, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Victor Lindelof to the mix that is defensive, in addition to Anthony Martial and perhaps Jesse Lingard, will suddenly make Manchester Uniteds choices look stronger.
However, what also needs healing is the inability to make enough opportunities – let alone consider them and a lack of confidence among a bunch of footballers that sees them acting in themselves, unable to maintain their gameplan and control an opponent nor establish some kind of identity on the pitch.
Solskjaer enjoys the assistance of the power-brokers at Old Trafford, in addition to the bulk of the fans, something which has been evident in Holland on Thursday night when his name was sung by supporters and also applauded him in the close of the game. Hell also be supported with brought in a summertime salvo of players that enhanced his squad but did not go quite far enough.
No one could deny so recruitment is something Manchester United under Solskjaer can get right Wan-Bissaka, Maguire and James were signings. While hell have tons of resources within another window, both clubs and players know exactly what hes looking for and doing impressive business will not be simple.
United are still on the market for somebody who may be labeled as a Manager of Soccer or Technical Director, but the parameters of this post wont see that person become a potent figure at Old Trafford, instead a part of a team of individuals assembled to tackle a whole set of challenges ranging from the buying and selling of players into the pathway from the Academy to the primary staff and everything in between.
Much the club occupying, and possibly has because Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, there is no timescale on if this person will arrive on the scene.
So Ole will be given moment and he is going to be given money however, they also need to have some improvement to cling to, for your Manchester United fans seeking to understand the procedure and come to terms with it.
Andy Mitten, editor of this United Stands, spoke to Sky Sports News to present his evaluation of Manchester Uniteds seasons very first part.
It is terrible. The soccers bad, the staff arent scoring enough goals and not picking up things, it is the worst its been for 30 decades and its very very irritating for Manchester United fans, who are extremely upset about the situation, Mitten said.
I think they accepted that this was likely to be a season of transition. It is ok for club and the manager to construct for the long-term, however you want consequences in the short term, and they are coming, and that is a huge problem for Manchester United.
Fans loathed his [Solskjaers] title in Alkmaarthey filmed his name at Newcastle. Maybe not with loyalty, possibly with a fire, they need him feel sorry for him and probably to succeed but there were chants from the Glazer family, who own Manchester United, thats been new in the past couple of away games.
United fans have been very patient and supportive, especially at the games, but they have their limits as well, and they are paying good money to support a team thats failing them. The gamers are failing them, the players are neglecting their manager. Manchester United have got into a cycle now where players become fair quite quickly.
A lot of people are searching for the things going on in the club, even Ed Woodward, the Glazers, the manager, the players, and perhaps even the lovers who constantly demand new signings and a lot of these signings havent worked out.
I believe that Ole needs additional time and deserves much more time. I believe the answer isnt to continue sacking managers, that is not the ideal way to do things. Are good players, he has a great eye, but that I dont need to be speaking about one move window – that I want to be speaking about four.
I wonder if its beyond one individual, its not merely the supervisor – the structure supporting the supervisor has to be correct. Manchester United are referring to appointing a manager of football for two years now, and that appointment hasnt been made by them. Why?
