MANCHESTER UNITED SUPPORTERS & FOOTBALL ANALYSTS PLUS TWO PLAYERS WITHIN THE CURRENT MANCHESTER UNITED ROASTER SEE THE CLEAR FLAW IN THE CURRENT MAMCHESTER UNITED STARTING LINE UP
Manchester United does not have a central defensive midfielder! Correction! Manchester United does have a top- young central defensive midfielder. The problem is that the manager refuses to implement him as a central defensive midfielder.
This remains the truth! However, despite numerous red flags pointing towards the absence of a central defensive midfielder possibly being the one factor that might derail Manchester United this season, Manchester United chose to not only ignore the warning signs, the Red Devils - specifically Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took his questionable decision making a step further by stripping Manchester United midfield of all creativity by moving Paul Pogba out to the right-wing which subsequently resulted to Manchester United benching the team’s most expensive signing this past summer in Jadon Sancho and subsequently also made no room in Manchester United's midfield for one of Europe‘s, top creative central midfielder in Donny van de Beek.
Manchester United has already paid the price for electing to implement a starting 11 without two of some of their best players on the pitch. The price paid so far by Red Devils for this decision was Manchester United dropping valuable points during the early part of this season although a team which has the presence of all Manchester United's top players listed in the starting XI continues to be demanded by Manchester United fans and football analysts worldwide.
Benching Donny van de Beek and Jadon Sancho while subsequently moving in one of the best central midfielders in the world empower the program to operate under right just to accommodate two central midfielders who continue to be classified as decent players at best so two starting central midfielders continues to be highlighted as the main problems limiting Manchester United from playing top-class football.
But don't take anybody else's word for it.
In fact, don't take the word of the Manchester United channel and what the website Is saying in tonight's article. the issue of lack of quality in central midfield Manchester United has been highlighted by some of Manchester United's very own players from reliable information has made its way out to Old Trafford over the past couple of weeks.
The information states that during the recent international match held in the middle of October, some of the current players within the Manchester United roster admitted during various interviews that they are operating in positions which these players do not find us natural position allow some of the Manchester United players to display their full potential.
The fact of the matter is that the Manchester United channel has been addressing these types of issues facing Manchester United football club where players are implemented in positions which they are not naturally equipped to play in. As a result of this, the quality of the team records massive depletion rate in regards to the level of creativity, the level of precision and the level of effectiveness seen within Manchester United attack and Manchester United defense under the current tenure of Ole Gunnar Solslskjaer.
With the idea of Manchester United lacking top talent in certain areas of the pitch in mind, there is some obvious truth that Manchester United has continued to struggle because of two important elements- one being that the current Manchester United manager simply does not rotate his squad enough and leaves a good portion of the quality players in the current Manchester United team out of the starting XI making the current Manchester United team very predictable to defend against as a result of lack of sufficient creativity.
The second reason for Manchester invented current struggle is that the Red Devils he roadblocks in terms of a second source of ingenuity in the middle of the park besides Bruno Fernandes as a result of the lack of rotation implemented within the Manchester United team.
The current outcome appears to be opponents have found it easy sometimes to cut through Manchester United’s central midfield and Open Intel also sometimes found the task of breaking through Manchester United defense easier than expected as a result of the lack of creative quality and lack of defensive strength found between the central midfield and in defense of this Manchester United team.
Now, the topic of instability leads perfectly into the main topic of this article which is the talk of placing players in the wrong position which has inevitably Impacted the rate of success Manchester United can Generate so far this season.
The fact of the matter is that Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s decision to implement the absence of two of some of the best creative central midfielders in the world in Donny van de Beek and Paul Pogba and substitute these two players for the last created duo in Fred and Scott Mctominay in the center of the pack as makeshift holding midfielders has not only affected Paul Pogba on Donny van de Beak alone, but this decision has spiraled into affecting the performance of other top-class players within this Manchester United team as well.
The truth is that the presence of two let's created me to this in the center of the pack for Manchester United has continuously shown the size of disrupting the natural flow of creativity and ball movement from defense to offense for Manchester United.
The truth is that majority of the blame for Manchester United’s stagnant level of creativity in the central midfield area has largely been blamed on the decision taken by Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to implement two defensive-minded central midfielders to operate in a central midfield position where only one central defensive midfielder is realistically needed.
The more progressive option to go with will be to implement a midfield containing one attacking central midfielder placed alongside the defensive midfielder to engineer a balance between attacking football and defensive football in the middle of the pitch for Manchester United.
As we’ve seen throughout the season, reliable sports analysts and of course Manchester United fans have been consistently critical of Manchester United’s decision to make midfield pair Scott McTominay and Fred Rodriguez the two central midfielders picked to operate as the two central midfielders in the starting lineup for Manchester United.
The reason behind the stance of disagreement against the midfield pairing of Fred and Scott McTominay is simply because both players have applied themselves as two holding midfielders who both serve as an extra defensive anchor for Manchester United according to the current Manchester anchester United mmanager Ole Gunnar himself.
The only problem is that both players do not move the ball quickly enough and both players do not apply the right level of up movement and top creativity needed in any top midfield in modern football. So far this season, Manchester United’s coaching staff have continued to emphasize the fact that the choice to implement both Fred Rodriguez and Scott Mctominay as two holding midfielders has limited Manchester United's rate of goals conceded when both the Scottish midfielder and the Brazilian midfielder drops into Manchester United’s defense which creates a makeshift back six when Manchester United's defense is under pressure.
This reality which has now been created as a result of the absence of creative players in the middle of the park for Manchester United is an outcome where not just Donny van de Beek and Paul Pogba see little to no opportunity to influence the game for Manchester United, but also- in a much larger scale, the absence of creative players in the center of the park for the Red Devils limits the ball movement by Manchester United which sees creative players such as Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho, and Cristiano Ronaldo stopped from having as much of a positive impact as anyone will expect any of these top players to have in any game.
But there's more, as a result of the further ripple effect of this decision, Manchester United FC and football spectators across the globe have witnessed almost an entire season pass by without one of the most expensive- one of the most talented- right-wingers in the team at the moment spend half the seasons on the bench for Manchester United. A Bizarre decision that has continued to dominate the talking points held between modern-day sports analysts and Manchester United supporters for the majority of the season
The ironic beauty of this entire situation is that both Manchester United midfielders Fred Rodriguez and Scot Mctominay have during the early part of the season admitted that the position that they are being forced to play is not necessarily the favorite position that they want to play. In other words, current Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s choice to play Fred Rodriguez and Scott McTominay to partner each other in the holding midfield role in the middle of the pack is harming Manchester United in more ways than one.
What this means is if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’ continues to persist with his current starting lineup of Fred and Scott McTominay as the two central midfielders knowing that enabling this partnership subsequently means that Manchester United will disable three very creative- expensive- players in Donny van de Beek, Jadon Sancho and Paul Pogba as rendered ineffective for this season while Manchester United remain rooted in 4th or 5th place in the Barclays Premier League table.
If that is the case, then surely the question must be asked why is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer still viewed as the right man to leave Manchester United to success?
Success is generated through consistent application of the best, reasonable, decisions which will generate the best result each step of the way. If Ole Gunnar SolsKjaer it's not doing this then why is he in charge of one of the biggest football clubs in the world?
Should this situation remain the same come end of the current season? Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have to face the reality that he sat back and watched Manchester United’s fiercest rivals in Liverpool make their March to the top of the table and become Premier League champions once again for the third time in the past decade or less while Manchester United sat back on watched even though current Manchester United manager could've made changes which might still ultimately stop Liverpool’s rise to the top.
However, having presented the choice of either staying pragmatic with his decision or the choice of making changes to the current system Manchester United operates with which will implement better football for the Red Devils, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer- as of today- is yet to implement the change of breaking apart the current midfield duo of Fred Rodriguez and Scott McTominay as the two holding midfielders for Manchester United.
The clear answer to Manchester united's lack of creativity in central midfield is implementing a midfield containing both Paul Pogba and Donny van de Beek operating as the box-to-box duo central midfielders for Manchester United with a strong backline of Rafael Varan or Eric Bailey partner with and healthy Harry Maguire. Equally so, a strong backline compromise of Rafael Varane and Eric Bailey will provide a defensive reassurance for midfield duo Paul Pogba and Donny van de Beek to supply the creative attacking impotence needed by Manchester United with Bruno Fernandes clearly you need some creative support in the attacking end as the only creative anchor in central midfield Manchester United at the moment.
The fact that the matter is that should Manchester United fail to win any trophy at the end of this season, the outcome will most certainly present a very interesting end of the season press conference as most viewers- especially all Manchester United fans will look forward to hearing any reasonable explanation the Manchester United manager will have to say in support of his decision-making. during the 2021/22 football season.
At that point, there will be little to no reason to justify the retention of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as Manchester United next season except for the most frightening reasonable which is that the Manchester United board is simply incompetent at carrying out their job.
