According to the British media, after high-level research, Manchester United decided to suspend the selection of a new coach, because Ronnick's recent coaching achievements have satisfied the board of directors and the owner's Glazer family, considering letting him turn positive.
The 63-year-old German coach coached eight Premier League games, achieved a record of 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, and led the team to the fourth round of the FA Cup, against Middlesbrough, with a good chance to continue to qualify. Although the game was mostly unsatisfactory, United management felt that Lonnick had stabilized the club and united the Red Devils players.
United have improved defensively, keeping four clean sheets in lonnick's 10 games and conceding just one goal in five other games, with only two at Aston Villa.
Not only that, but Lonnick's speech at the press conference also satisfied Manchester United, believing that he had suppressed the arrogance of several big stars.
After coaching Manchester United, whether it is Pogba, Martial or C Ronaldo, Lonnick is not humble, even if C Ronaldo loses his temper after being replaced, he handles it well. Lonnick also dared to put the absolute main players of the past such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes and Maguire on the cold bench, using the fringe players of the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer era such as Dioggu Dalo, Lindelof and Telles.
Therefore, the British "Sun" reported that Manchester United hope to continue to observe Ronnick's performance before the end of the season, if he can get the top four in the Premier League and continue to participate in the Champions League, then his original two-year senior football consultant contract may be transformed into a contract for the official manager!
Originally Lonnick's identity was only the interim manager who led the team to the end of the season, football director John Mertav chose Ajax's Tenhag, Paris Saint-Germain's Pochettino, Spain's Luis Enrique and Sevilla's Lopetegui as the four candidates for permanent manager.
However, Manchester United has a precedent for regularizing interim coaches, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was also a firefighting coach, but also because of his excellent performance after coaching, he was regularized early. Now, United hope Thatronec will achieve the desired results like the other two German managers in the Premier League, Liverpool's Klopp and Chelsea's Tuchel.
Longnick himself has long said that he is willing to coach Manchester United for a long time if he has the opportunity. His annual salary is only 7.5 million pounds, and if he hires famous coaches such as Pochettino and Enrique, the annual salary may need to exceed 10 million pounds. Therefore, if Lonnick can be turned positive, it is convenient for Manchester United to save money and convenience.
Murenstine, who was a coach at Manchester United for 12 years, believes that since the retirement of the old man, he has lost his character. If the manager had been chosen properly, it could have been corrected, but the Red Devils did not make the right choice. "When I was working in Australia, someone said to me, 'There's definitely a lot of pressure at Manchester United.' You know what, it's not." Murenstine said, "We have a great manager like Friston, he has plans, he has characteristics, he has faith, everything works and he never feels any pressure."
"The key to United's success at that time was speed, strength, penetration, unpredictability, that's what we asked of the team's attack. That's what characterizes the Red Devils, and the difficulty lies in balancing the relationship between winning and entertaining. Sometimes, against some teams, we also try to win 1-0. But you have to have the confidence and the conviction to control the results of the game and any Manchester United team needs those elements."
Referring to the popular high-level pressing tactics, Mullenstein said: "It has become a popular term, and we used to do it, but not for the sake of pressing. You have to analyze the characteristics of the opponent and the way the defenders play. Some people feel that you need the whole team of players to be physically explosive, constantly running to implement the rush, in fact, no, you need to judge the situation, do their own work, unity and cooperation. If only one person rushes to the opponent who holds the ball and the two teammates around him are indifferent, it will not work."
Murenstine believes that if United could have hired Guardiola or Klopp that year, it might have been successful, but the club's plans are also important.
'If you ask a Liverpool player if he knows the team's routine, they'll say yes; ask a Manchester City player, even ifPep [Guardiola] changes tactics a lot, they'll say they know how they play.' Mullenstein added: "If you ask a Manchester United player, I don't think you can get such a definitive answer. At the same time, if those two clubs are not ready, after the two coaches leave, they will also be in the same situation as Manchester United. What you have to do is analyze in advance the squad you want to have in two or three years, so that the club can be stable and sustainable."
