Hi Everyone it's been a while since my last entry but I'm back now and ready to start blogging regularly once again.
So anyone that watched Manchester United last night would of seen the struggles they faced not just against a good opposition like Liverpool but the struggle just to play as a team. As a Man Utd fan this is worrying and I think a lot of you fellow fans will agree it's time for change. Now don't worry this isn't some get Van Gaal out rant as the blame doesn't just fall on him there's a bad chemistry at Utd and things need to change. Now obviously you're going to read lots of reports and rumors and who know's what will happen ? But for now I'm going to give you my views on what should change. And in my opinion it boils down to 3 things.
1. Management
Yes I no this is obvious and I no it's a very generic answer to just sack the manager but unfortunately I believe we have no other choice Louis Van Gaal has done his best and for whatever reason it just hasn't worked there's no doubting he's a class manager but it's clear to see he can't turn this team around. Once the end of the season arrives I think LVG needs to leave and Jose Mourinho needs to come in. Don't get me wrong Jose is a big risk but he's also a class manager that now has something to prove and what better way to prove yourself then to stop a falling giant and get them to stand tall once again. It won't be an easy job and he will have to adapt to the clubs beliefs for example giving youth a chance but if he did join and did settle well there's no telling how far he could take the club who know's he may even find a place were he will stay more than 3 years ?
2. Rebuilding the core
Growing up watching Man Utd there was always one common theme through out every team and that was they had a strong core of players. Players that the rest of the squad would look up to and when backs were against the wall they would pull through and do what needed to be done. Looking at this squad I don't see that but there is potential there, there are leaders in the making within the squad. If Jose does come in he needs to build a new core and for me there's Five players to build around De Gea,Smalling,Shaw,Martial and Rashford these five players in my opinion possess quality above the rest of there teammates and if you built a team around them to compliment there talents there's no limit to the potential these players have. It's obvious that Man Utd need to have a clear out in the squad and also buy some new talent but there are some players in the youth team that should be given the chance for example Fosu Mensah and Verela these are players that should be given a chance to earn there spot in the first team. Overall the squad needs rebuilding but with the right manager and vision this team could be great once again throwing money at it wont work it will take time and patience.
3. Rebuilding the clubs Identity
This one is tough and will take a lot more time than the other two steps but arguably it's the most important. Man Utd have lost there identity they've lost there way, growing up Man utd were feared they was respected and when they was losing 1-0 in the 90th minute you just knew they would find away to turn it around. These days teams smell weakness they believe they can beat us and as a team we don't do anything to make them doubt it. Next season Man Utd need to get there fear factor back they need to be ruthless and start showing teams they're a team not to be messed with. There style of play needs to go back to how it was back in the day you knew Man Utd were going to pile pressure on you'r goal and you knew they would attack from the wings down the center anyway they could to get that goal. The last three years have seen them fall off the track but they still have chance to recover and next season needs to be the first step to that recovery.
So those are the three steps I believe Man Utd need to take to get back on top what do you think ? let me no in the comment below
Thanks
