MANCHESTER UNITED NEED TO IMPROVE THEIR PERFORMANCES

Manchester united problems are well documented with their poor run of form leading to the inevitable sack of Norwegian and Club legend Ole Gunnner Solskjaer earlier this season and the subsequent appointment of Ralf Rangnick to steady the ship until the end of the season.

Meanwhile, the team's performances under the interim manager has been nothing short of unconvincing since he took charge at the Old trafford dug out, and all effort so far to improve has proved abortive, as can be seen in their recent defeat at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

In addition to this, several players signed in the summer are not living up to expectation and even the established ones like Portuguese Bruno Fernandes who were having prominent roles in the team are not performing as expected.

Note worthily, their Spanish Goalkeeper David De Gea has so far been their best player this season with some top level performances in games where his team were totally outplayed, which says alot about Manchester United performances defensively.

Consequently, the only way Manchester United can get back to their best and start performing better, is for them to play as a team, rather than depending or relying on individual brilliance which so far has not been forthcoming.

yes ofcourse they need to

They need to get rid of those British players to progress

Jadon sancho is cetainly not the same player that was lighting up the bundesliga and uefa champions league while he was in Dortmund.

Sancho never lit up the champions league, he only shined in bundesliga....just like Bellingham that can't do nothing in champions league....now the British press hv started marketing him just like sancho

The truth is British players are best as average.... their media just keep shoving them down our throat... now that it seems like sancho is disappointing, they hv moved to Bellingham..... thats how they compared Rooney to pele that year ... this is the reason y foreign top clubs don't buy English players ... and thats y England can't win any competition...imagine with the hype over decades, they only hv just one world cup that they won b4 the civil war , even junior world cup or Olympics, they are still crap ... no British winger is half of vinicius Jr presently, but u will not hear the Brazilian media screaming his name.... imagine the British media comparing Greenwood with Mbappe

I can't understand the beef u guys have for British players. So because Sancho is not doing well, u term all British players as flops? But Una no dey miss EPL matches. Wat an irony. They have lots of players with good abilities. Its only luck that is preventing dem from winning a big tournament like euros and WC.

Theo Walcott was seen as their saviour back then, too much hyping over the years has not helped in the development of most of their promising youngsters.

U even disrespected Rooney in ur post. So if he was compared to Pele, were they out of place by comparing him? It seems u no really watch Rooney in his early years. Dude was a machine. Rooney B4 his decline ,will start in any club side or national team in the world. No be mouth

Lampard is one of the highest goal scorers from the midfield in history. If u feel he wasn't world Class, I wonder wat world class means to u then. He finished 2nd in ballon dor and 2nd in FIFA world best. All in 2005

Its not hate...its reality... Beckham was total trash at real madrid ... Owen cudnt do more than a season at real madrid and he was sent back... English players don't thrive outside England...any English player that is decent outside England grew his career outside England eg sancho , Owen Hargreaves and Bellingham... English players that left the EPL to top clubs in Europe flopped...apart from mcmanaman that was decent in real madrid , mention one English player that thrived... English players are the only players that don't thrive outside the EPL in the whole if Europe... Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney , Giggs , scholls, shearer, Andy Cole, Rio Ferdinard .... I can go on and on ...not one of them picked a serious interest from any Elite club outside England... reason being that experience has tot them that they usually flop .... Ashley Cole was crap at roma , smalling is nonsense at Roma ... Ashley Young was bundled back to England after one season... and watch Tammy , he will be shipped bk by next season... English players have never lit up any team outside EPL .... na dia media de hype them.... No team outside EPL wud hv paid 50m for grealish and no team outside EPL is interested in the so called 100m Declan Rice...a player that is truly worth a hundred million in today's market will not hv only EPL teams interested in that player... the most sort after Young players in football today that Elite clubs in Europe have interest for , not one is British.... Halaand, Mbappé , vinicius Jr, Ansu Fati , Dembele , leao , chiesa , sane , camavingha , kounde , vlahovic ... y barca , madrid , atletico, juve ,inter , Milan, bayern, psg not interested in the likes of Foden , Greenwood, Declan Rice ,Rashford , wissaka , lingard , ox chamberlain , Phillips, Walcott ( as of then) , grealish, saka ... these players don't either command first team in the big teams they play for, or they play for midclass teams , meaning a top team in Europe that is very interested will pick them to play first team football...

With all the noise about Rooney back then , real madrid overlooked him and were interested in Ronaldo as far back as 2005

And how many goals did he score outside EPL either in European competition or for country.... England will not win an international tournament cos they don't hv technically gifted players... its not just by speed , crosses and shots ...any technically good team will shoot them down.... y is psg or madrid not interested in kane and were never... look at Bale... shined just one season and then flopped... same modric that came from the same team has been a vital squad member since he joined , till date...

The moment man utd gets rid of those English sulkers in their squad, they will start to compete for EPL and CL... just like Liverpool, city and Chelsea... those 3 teams dint hv more than 2 English players playing in their first team ... if stone was that good , madrid fir pick am , instead they are fighting with psg for Rudiger

There is certainly a big difference between those who are only world class players and those who are both world class players and technically gifted players.

The Colombian hardly starts for Atlanta but when he plays and when he is on his game, he is certainly a joy to watch in Seria A, even during his time with sevilla.

Very few players who are Technically gifted players go to the EPL because the intensity does not always suit their game style, thats why most of them prefer plying their trade in Spain and Italy.

That notwithstanding, we certainly had some great english players back then who could hold their own against any opponent.

They might not have been techinically gifted or too skillfull but they always got the job done.

Steven Gerrad, Wayne Rooney , Frank Lampard, and John Terry always comes to mind, they are truly legends of the game to their Clubs.

Also, not everyone watches the Spanish la liga or Seria A regularly.

Over the years most english teams would have wanted more english players in their team, but that is not always the case, as some of these youngsters when they try coming through they are deemed not good enough. Thats why most of them who are ambitious have to seek loan moves elsewhere to continue their development.

Ronaldo and Messi era really overshadowed some great players, imagine someone like ineista, xavi not winning at least a ballon dor

I hardly watch man utd matches anymore...

So boring and predictable.

We need 70% new players

England most times lose on penalties in major tournaments. Not that they get knocked out in regulation time. They have very good players for every position. ur hate can't stop DAT. As a man utd fan, if u put modric, pirlo and Lampard , I will gladly take Lampard a million times for deft passes and long range goals

Lol...really, ud take lampard ahead of those players...reason y coaches get sacked ... the question should be y do they always get to penalties?? They plY shit and try to sit back to defend for 90mins when they meet a sound team ... and know that penalties are their only hope... I hv been watching tournaments since 1990 .... its always the same tactics... England are very superb when it comes to qualifications cos they are usually grouped with minors they can dominate....but once the tournament starts, they crumble

. They didnt crumble in 1990 world cup. They played fantastic football but were unlucky in penalties when Stuart Pearce and Waddle missed their spot kick. That has always been their problems in tournaments not that they aren't good

U said Madrid over looked rooney around 2005 or 2006. . U fail to realize that u can't as a club get a player who is not willing to move in the first place. Rooney is a loyal fellow. Not like the assistant goat (Ronaldo) who is always looking for every means to prove one point or the other. In those early years of both rooney and ronaldo, rooney was the main star then. Ronaldo only started playing well in 2006/2007 season

Lol...really...but the 2 best players in the world were in la liga at their peak... infact the best players in the world played in Germany Spain or Italy... salah is sort after by big clubs in Europe... y is it that same is not happening for kane.... madrid were desperate to sign hazard and they did...no team outside England is looking towards sterling ( one of Britain's best offensive players) ... they say catch them young, but no elite team is interested in any young English player ... reason is they are crap and unreliable....and thats the reason man utd are suffering... Liverpool suffered alot for decades when they relied on English players , until they changed that mentality and started giving foreign players crucial roles.... watch how Newcastle will explode in a few seasons and I will bet that 95% of their first team players will b foreigners

Euro 92 ,they were also trash , I tot it was because of fatigue due to their former 22 league format ...they changed it to 20 the following season and created the EPL , still they cudnt qualify for 94 World cup ( yh thnx to wrights penalty miss) ... until I watched that friendly with Naija... if westerhof was still coach, we for knack them that night at Wembley
