For United, every step the team has taken this season seems to be incredibly difficult. For all the players in the squad, it seems that everyone should be held accountable for the team's poor performances this season. But as the "helmsman" of the team, the most important thing Lonnick needs to do is to find out the crux of the team's poor performance and solve these problems as quickly as possible. Because, considering the team's investment this season and the overall strength of the team, if they don't even get the top four at the end of the season, it will not only mean that they will lose a lot of revenue, but the team's brand influence will also be greatly affected. This is undoubtedly an ending that no one wants to see.
Objectively speaking, Lonnick seems to have a clear understanding of Manchester United's problems. He has also been trying to brand the team with himself. The most emblematic change is his attempt to adopt the tactic of pressing high. This was quite evident in his first two games since coming to Manchester United. However, most of United's players don't seem interested in Lonnick's change. Because the team chooses to press high, it inevitably means that they need more high-intensity running. Especially for players in the frontcourt, this is bound to increase their physical exertion, which will affect their performance on the offensive end. Therefore, from the third game, the high-intensity scramble in the front court is once again difficult to find in Manchester United's tactics. The team's performance on the field is still like "warm swallowing water", there is not enough vitality and vitality, nor does it reflect enough tactical literacy.
Still, Lonnick needs to do his best to convince the players to accept his tactical ideas. After all, such tactics are designed from the overall level of the team, although from the perspective of individual players, more high pressing will affect their physical fitness, but if the team can be in unison, they will thus gain more possession and opportunities to attack in the front. That's a better reward for the players in the frontcourt. In addition to the efforts that Lonnick needs to make, the core players in the team, such as Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandez, also need to play an exemplary role. Because they may have more say in the locker room than the new head coaches. Especially for Ronaldo, who is already at the end of his career, if he still wants to make a difference, it is almost the only option. Only in this way can United really bring out the team's ability to usher in real changes in the second half of the season.
In addition to that, there is another point that is quite unfavorable to the team. Sources suggest that United are likely not to be recruiting in the winter transfer window. Judging from the team's performance so far this season, the team's shortcomings are more obvious in the back position and the center-back position. For example, mcTominay's performance at the back is becoming more mediocre, and he doesn't seem to have much room for improvement. At the level he has shown this season, his most suitable role can only be a rotating player. Fred's problem is that he is not suitable for the back, and Lonnick needs to tailor his tactics for him if he wants to maximize his role as a Brazilian international. In the centre-back position, Maguire's competitive form this season has been disappointing, Lindelof and Bailly have been as sluggish as ever, and Varane is frequently injured. If the team can only rely on the current squad for the rest of the season, the whole team will undoubtedly need to work harder.
Although the team may not have done anything in terms of reinforcements, United have not stopped cleaning up "redundant personnel". There are sources that there are about 10 players in the Manchester United squad who are at risk of leaving the team. Judging from the current situation, Martial is basically determined to be the first player to leave the team. This season, Martial has played just 202 minutes in the league, averaging just 6.33 points per game, ranking fourth from the bottom in the team. According to Spain 6, Sevilla are fairly close to signing Martial, and they have reached an agreement with the 35 million euro French shooter about his personal treatment. It is reported that the transfer will be completed on loan, and the two teams are still communicating with Martial's salary. United are less keen to take on Anthony Martial's salary during his loan spell, but hope United can bear at least 50 per cent of Martial's salary. With Martial already determined, there is great hope that the transfer will be completed.
In addition, the fate of another Manchester United centre-back, Tuanzebe, in the second half of the season has also been determined. In the first half of the season, Tuanzebe played at Villa on loan, but his performance was not ideal, and he did not get the main position. According to transfer expert Di Marzio, Tuanzebe has already completed the signing with Napoli, who will soon announce the completion of the transfer. It is reported that Tuanzebe's transfer form is also on loan. However, even with a good play in the second half, the 24-year-old England centre-back will still find it difficult to stay in Manchester United in the future.
