The Areas Where Manchester United Must Strengthen to Truly Challenge

Wiki Article

A lot ofscorn has been thrown at United fans over the last several years,especially given the optimism that was evident in the very early partof Ole Gunner Solskjaers reign at Old Trafford. Indeed, Unitedfans and we are exempting those that scream hysterically for newsignings on social media have been pretty level headed aboutthings since the Norwegian was appointed. Most are aware thatSolskjaer has been tasked with steadying the ship, and trimming thefat from a bloated squad. The teamthat Solskjaer now puts out is vastly different from those of theMourinho or Van Gaal era, and it seems to be working. United haveshown form almost good enough to challenge for a , and the Portuguese seems to be thekey to unlocking Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba. For once, it seemsthat United are Jesus Aguilar Jersey ahead of schedule when it comes to rebuilding theteam. According to the latest , United are 8/1 to win the Premier League next season. Thats a considerable distance behind Man City (21/20) and Liverpool, but well ahead of Chelsea (13/1), Arsenal (50/1) and Spurs (60/1). In short, the bookies feel United are at the head of the challengers to Liverpool and Citys dominance. Unitedneed to look at defence But how doUnited transform from being the best of the rest to challenge for thetitle again? If you were to believe the media, its all about JadonSancho. A fine player, to be sure, but his arrival would not fulfilthe areas where United do need to strengthen. Perhapsthe most pre sing need is at centre back. It might seem reactionaryto dismi s Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly, Stephen Vogt Jersey but neither seems thecorrect fit beside Harry Maguire. The latter, as captain, seemsa sured of his place, but he needs someone with a bit more speedbeside him than Lindelof and with a bit more reliability than Bailly.WhileUnited have looked excellent since the Premier League restarted inthe summer, the centre backs have looked flat-footed. For evidencesee Junior Stanislas goal in the fixture against Bournemouth, orRasmus Falks . We wont speculate on transferrumours, nor are we sure whether United will buy in that area, but itfeels like the most pre sing area of concern. Shawhas bounced back Indeed,left-back is another area where United could do with better options.Luke Shaw did see a lot of improvement last season, but that wasoften on the left of a back three. While Shaw is a good player, andBrandon Williams has some potential, full back has become one of themost important positions from an attacking sense in themodern game, and United should be looking at alternatives. Defensivemidfield could be cited as a position of weakne s, although NemanjaMatic looks like a man reborn at the moment. The Serb is still youngenough to fill the position for another couple of years (he has justturned 32), but fans will look back with worry at his form acro s2018 and 2019. More worryingly, his form Keon Broxton Jersey also dipped for long periodsat Chelsea.Fred andScott McTominay can also play as defensive midfielders, but neithercan dominate when playing the role alone, and that is needed toaccommodate Uniteds front five of Rashford, Greenwood, Martial,Fernandes and Pogba. The problem, however, is that world-cla sdefensive midfielders are at a premium. The likes of Sergio Busquetsor Casemiro would not likely be sold by their respective clubs. But ifUnited were to somehow strengthen those three areas, it would narrowthe gap to and Liverpool. Again, it seems that the club is prioritisingthe signing of Jadon Sancho, and perhaps the young Englishman wouldprove an inspired signing. And yet, it might be in other parts of thepitch where United should be spending their money in the comingweeks.
