#2 The Struggle is Real
Flying wingers and counter-attacks have become a part of Manchester United’s tradition over the years and it is great that the club still upholds that style of play on the pitch. However, somewhere along the way, United have somehow forgotten how to win games by dominating possession. Far too often, Solskjaer’s men have struggled to break down teams who park the bus and let United have the ball for the vast majority of the game.
This has especially been the case against the so-called ‘smaller teams’ whose entire plan is to sit back against Manchester United and then try and nick something on the break. Though United possess extreme pace across their attack, the team have looked too one dimensional at times this season. Manchester United’s inability to dominate possession this season also has to with the number of central-midfielders that have picked up injuries. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the Red Devils have been linked with the likes of James Maddison and Jack Grealish as the winter transfer window opens. One way or the other, Solskjaer has to find a way to ensure that Manchester United start winning games by having the lion’s share of the ball.
