With Manchester United being eliminated by Championship side Middlesbrough in round 4 of the FA Cup, team manager Ronnick was interviewed. The German coach said that despite United's elimination in the FA Cup, everything on the field was normal.
Lonnick also summed up United's performance, saying that the current level of competition in the team is definitely higher than it was a few weeks ago, mainly in the possession of the ball, and our performance has improved.
Many fans have mocked Pep Guardiola's Manchester City for spending too much money, but the Blue Moons are now the strongest team in the Premier League, and the league title has also been soft. On the contrary, Manchester United spent a lot of money, but it was gradually drifting away from the championship.
According to statistics, since 2012, Manchester United has spent a total of 1.545 billion euros on transfer expenses, transfer revenue of 470 million euros, and net expenditures of up to 1.075 billion euros, which is the highest net expenditure of the five major leagues in the past decade, higher than Manchester City, but Manchester United has not won the league since 2013, and after Mourinho's "small triple crown", the Red Devils have no title.
Manchester United have signed three stars this season, Ronaldo, Sancho and Varane, but the team is currently only in fourth place, the team is only 2 points ahead of seventh-ranked Tottenham Hotspur, but the latter has 2 games less, so this season Lonnick's main task is to compete for the fourth place in the league and successfully win next season's Champions League place, but Manchester United faces greater difficulties.
Lonnick said that United have not won any titles in recent years, that must be an important problem for the team, we have to find the problem and solve it. But Lonnick is only a transitional coach for Manchester United, and he will be the manager of the club after the season, not the coach, so Lonnick simply does not have time to solve Manchester United's problems, and the season to compete for four is his only task.
