3 reasons why Manchester United must not sack Ole Gunnar Solskajear


Since Alex Ferguson bowed out of Manchester United in 2012, the club have hired and fired 4 managers and fired 3 who failed to replicate Fergie's winning formula. 

 Ole Gunnar Solskajear is the next manager in the firing line haven seen United struggle so early in the season. The Red devils have won just two matches all season and sit 10 points off league leaders Liverpool who looks destined to win their first Premier League title this season. 

 The sight of watching Liverpool win consecutive games while United struggle to beat the likes of Crystal Palace and West Ham is embarrassing.. But Solskajear has a solution and soon the fans will see a sudden change. 

 Here are the five reasons why Manchester United should not sack Solskajear

 1.  Manchester United are currently rebuilding their team and will need time to deliver- 

 United are currently getting it right with their recruitment strategy but for this to work fans have to be patient. Manchester Untied need at least two to three transfer window to bring in good players who give the extra edge to compete against Liverpool and Manchester City. 
Fans have to be patient and not to always think about the quick fix which is to 'fire the manager and get Thomas Tuchel or whoever is out there'. 

 2. Some of Manchester United top performers are currently injured- 

 Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and some of United top performers are currently out with injuries. 

 This players are very important to the team and their absence is affecting the team's progress.. Hopefully, when they return, United will get back to winning ways. 

 3. Solskajear is on verge of carving out his own identity for the club- 

 Everybody now knows pace and power of Sir Alex Ferguson don't work if you don't have the right players with the right mentality. 

 Just like Pep Guardiola who game is centered on 'Possession and Intensity', Jurgen Klopp 'Rhythm and intensity', Solskajear will develop his own identity with time..

 Simply put, Manchester United fans and board have to be patient with the Norwegian tactician. He needs time to get the team ticking.

Mane, Salah, Alisson or Van Dijk: Which Liverpool player deserve to win the Ballon d'Or?

For the first time in history, seven Liverpool players have made the shortlist of the Ballon d'Or.  Alisson Becker, Van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Trent Alexander Arnold and Gini Wijnaldum have all made the list but the list don't feel right.  They're Liverpool players that really deserve to be that list. The likes of Andrew Robertson who is currently the best left back in the world contributed 11 assists with 2 goals last season en-route to Liverpool winning the Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup should've been included.  Joel Matip also deserve to be included. His the best 'right centre back' in the world and the only defender capable of dribbling past defenders while marauding forward.  There's no other defender in world football who can take the ball from the back, skip past two or three defenders before lying out a pass or shooting accurately to goal. Matip is the only defender who posses that trait and that is enoug...

Pep Guardiola has revealed he had more things to worry about than watching Manchester United battle with Liverpool at Old Trafford.  Guardiola didn't watch the game cause he felt like many other manager that Liverpool was just superior to United if they were to play their best team {with Mohamed Salah} in it.  It did end 1-1 and Guardiola will be happy to know his team are now 6 points adrift of Liverpool.  Asked what he thought about the clash between Liverpool and Manchester United, Guardiola replied:  "I didn't watch it", Guardiola said during his press conference.

10 years without a trophy! Its time Harry Kane ditch Tottenham Hotspur

Last season was memorable, Tottenham Hotspur were very close to lifting their first ever Champions League trophy. If they had won it, Spurs would've been the dream club of every elite player.  Superstars all over the world would've joined at the opportunity to play for them while the likes of Christian Eriksen, Vertonghen, Ross and others won't hesitate to extend their contract. But the defeat to Liverpool was sour and the bitter taste have lingered on till this very day.  Spurs have dropped to a level of mediocrity never seen before and questions are beginning to be asked about the manager's commitment to the club's course as well as players.  The top players are running down their contract with the view of moving else where there's a realistic chance of winning trophies.  That idea of leaving has gobsmacked Harry Kane who now knows he might never win a single trophy with Spurs despite having Mauricio Pochettino as his manager.  Why? Tott...

His physical framework was just too much for James Milner to deal with and that resulted to a goal.  For a while if felt like Liverpool were going to drawn the match but up stepped Oxlade Chamberlian who received a delightful pass from Mohamed Salah before turning instinctively and scoring the winning match.  Here are the five things we learnt 1. Oxlade Chamberlian is a born winner-   ...

Man United legend Paul Scholes explains why Pep Guardiola is better than Jurgen Klopp

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes feels Pep Guardiola has done more than enough to be rated ahead of Jurgen Klopp as the best manager in the world.  Jurgen Klopp is the first manager to win the Premier League with 100 points and retain it with 98 points. He also the first manager to win 18 consecutive games in a single season.  Added to that, Guardiola is the first and only manager in Premier League history to win the domestic treble with Manchester City.  Scholes feels this achievement outweighs Jurgen Klopp's sole Champions League win with Liverpool.  "I'd still say Pep Guardiola. I know Liverpool are eight points clear and they won the Champions League last year, but they've not won the league yet", Scholes told 5 Live Sport.  "Jurgen Klopp's a great manager, and the football they're playing and the style of play is magnificent, but i'd still go for Guardiola after what he's done. I'd have Guardiola as number one and Jurgen...

Liverpool 2-1 Crystal: Firmino is no average striker and 5 things we learnt

Another game, another victory, Liverpool have finally discovered how to grind out results even when playing way below average.  Palace were good to watch, they stopped Liverpool's swashbuckling football in the first 15 minutes of play and put them to the sword by scoring the first goal only for VAR {Video Assistant Referee} to choke it off.  The first half might have ended in stalemate but the second half saw Liverpool take the initiative through Sadio Mane whose snap shot evaded everyone and found the back of the net.  Wilfred Zaha did restore parity to keep Palace fans believing but in the dying minute, Firmino scored the winning goal to put Liverpool 2-1 up and eight points clear of Leicester City.  Here are the five things we learnt:  1. Van DIjk is a monster, he is a world class defender-  Where will Liverpool be without Van Dijk? Porbably in 7th place or most likely 10th. He won every aerial ball, tussled with Jordan Ayew and came out on ...

Manchester City stars reacts to Pep Guardiola returning to Bayern Munich

Vincent Kompany, Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva have all tagged reports linking Pep Guardiola to Bayern Munich as 'bulls**t'. Guardiola did manage Bayern Munich for three seasons and won 8 trophies before joining Manchester City back in 206. He left as a fulfilled man having joined Germany's biggest club, revolutionized their playing style and made them a force to reckon with.  Having achieved everything he wanted to at Bayern Munich, Guardiola took the next step in his managerial career by signing a contract with Manchester City.   His first season in the Premier League was difficult, City finished trophy-less but still managed to finish in the top four.  Surprisingly, he was nicknamed 'Fraudiola' by jealous fans who felt his style of play can never be implemented in the fast and furious Premier League.  But rather than run for cover, Guardiola was bold and courageous, he knew his style of play can be implemented in any league and still su...
