United had the opportunity to sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer early in October last year to hire Premier League and Serie A champions conte. However, the club's top brass was indecisive, chose to continue to give Solskjaer a chance, and was eventually taken by Tottenham Hotspur, and when Solskjaer really left the class, there was no suitable coach, so he had to choose Ronnick as the interim manager. Not only that, but Manchester United also have doubts about Conte, fearing that his personality is too tough and that his iron fist may not be able to adapt to the superstars worth nearly 900 million pounds in the squad.
According to a Manchester United manager, "If Conte asks a player to do 6 things, then he wants everyone to be able to do all 6 points right away." In Conte's view, this is a matter of course, because a season or a game is limited, and if United can't make it into the top four, there will be 50 million pounds.
However, in United's view, things need to be done gradually, just as they have been in charge of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for more than three years. Buyers can't buy all the positions at once, only one or two times a year, even if other positions, such as the back of the waist has been a significant defect for many years, can also be temporarily ignored.
After just two months in charge of Tottenham, Conte has been blunt about the need for the team to rebuild. United fear that they have spent close to £1 billion to build a squad that does not fit into the eyes of the Italian boss, which will cost money, which is something the Glazer family hopes to avoid.
Not only that, but Conte has higher demands on his players, and when he won the Premier League title at Chelsea, winger Victor Moses was transformed into a right-back. Manchester United are well aware that no one in the squad wants to do that.
In the squad led by Conte to Chelsea's title-winning squad, Gary Cahill started 36, David Luiz made 33 appearances, Alonso and Nemanja Matic both made 30 appearances, Moses played 29 and Pedro 26, these are good players, but not superstars, they are willing to dedicate themselves to the team and enforce tactical discipline.
Manchester United's "talented players" such as Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Martial are unwilling to defend when they play the main force, thinking that it will damage their offensive performance, and when C Ronaldo joined, he accused the 36-year-old superstar of not running actively, affecting the team's high pressing. Manchester United insiders said: "Conte asked himself to be able to command the players to the point where the details were not bad, and we are not sure if this style is suitable for Manchester United."
In other words, United, which considered itself on par with Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea, was too thoughtful about the players, believing that the top coach was too demanding and beyond the reach of some players, so they gave up hiring him. This is fully in line with the mourinho and Pogba dispute, where Manchester United is on the side of the players.
But excessive spoiling has turned Manchester United players into flowers in the greenhouse, content with the status quo and lack of ambition. The British "Daily Mail" reported that the 63-year-old German interim coach Ronnick was still full of ambition when he took office, chanting his own high-intensity pressing concept, but he was soon drenched in cold water by the cruel reality.
Lonnick found that many of United's players were very selfish, lacked unity and only wanted to accommodate themselves in the team and others, rather than making sacrifices for others. In fact, this is nothing new, let alone a framing, because Mourinho first discovered the big problem that "Manchester United players can only kick", he tried to correct it, and finally ended up with his own dismissal.
According to the British "Daily Mail", Lonnick came to Manchester United and found that the team's problems have exceeded his imagination, the status quo has shocked him (stunned), and the stars are not convinced of his interim manager. Rangnick had to compromise tactically, but it would also lead to the Red Devils' hopes of reaching the top four of the Premier League being greatly diminished, and Lonnick was no longer confident of achieving his goals.
