#1:Management

For Manchester United, one of the greatest clubs in football history, it would be an understatement to suggest that the club is going through a lamentable and unsatisfactory phase.

However, if their recent performances and the trust in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are any indications, the Red Devils seem to be on their way back to challenge for the biggest football trophies in England and Europe

The management and owners of Manchester United have drawn a lot of criticism and flak for the way the club has been managed in the post-Ferguson years. The club’s owners, the Glazer Family is largely blamed for the rising debts of Manchester United.

The Glazers have also been criticised on numerous occasions for their apparent refusal to infuse money for signing top talents, especially in today’s inflated player market.

Eric Woodward, a very infamous man in Manchester United’s supporters’ circles, has drawn heavy censure and disapproval from fans and ex-players. While ensuring that Manchester United have an official Noodle Partner in Nissin, his efforts have not been visible where it matters the most – out on the field.

#2:Poor transfer decision

Manchester United’s pursuit of Frenkie de Jong may have taken another twist over the past 24 hours. It seems that a decision may be moving nearer. De Jong’s agents were spotted in Spain on Wednesday as they arrived for talks over the player’s future at the Nou Camp, with Barca still looking to register their new signings.

That could push the midfielder closer to an exit, although Chelsea are being heavily tipped to secure his services, which would come as a bitter blow for United.

Elsewhere, there’s more news on Adrien Rabiot after United agreed a fee with Juventus, however reports in Italy suggest he’s reluctant to make a move to Old Trafford.

#3:Central Midfield

With Fred and McTominay, he [Ten Hag] is going to have to go with just one of them but even one of them is probably too many.

“Fred gives the ball away all the time and McTominay is trying to run with the ball constantly and then gives it away. Pass it to your best players! It’s not that difficult. It’s criminal on a day like today.”
