In the Premier League, the bottom team can concede points, and Manchester United need to find the form as soon as possible, after all, the current league schedule is still very dense. At this stage, if Manchester United can't quickly activate their rhythm, they may not have any advantage in the competition for the top four. Compared with the menacing West Ham United, Arsenal, which is constantly adjusting the state, Manchester United is like a worn-out classic car, maybe the configuration inside is very valuable, but it is unable to play its full speed, not only the fans are dissatisfied, the players are dissatisfied, and now the manager also has a lot of complaints.
At the recent pre-match press conference, Manchester United coach Rangnick was asked a question about Cristiano Ronaldo and said very clearly: "He should score more goals, to be honest, we have scored too few goals". Judging from this season's data, it is true that the league has progressed so far, and Manchester United have only scored 37 goals, ranking fifth in the league, which also matches their position and seems to be good. However, looking at the top of the rankings of Liverpool and Manchester City, they scored 60 goals and 57 goals respectively, even Chelsea, who are recognized as not in a good state on the offensive end, can score 48 goals, and West Ham United, which has no superstars in the lineup, also has 42 goals.
After looking at their goal statistics and looking at their squad, Cristiano Ronaldo will not say more, the current United's top scorer, scored 8 goals, sent 7 assists. Then there are B Fee's 7 goals and 5 assists, Greenwood's 5 goals, and the rest are basically players who have scored 1 or 2 goals, basically United's attack relies on the players above. To know that these 3 players are only part of Manchester United's luxurious squad, others such as Sancho, who spent nearly 100 million euros, top scorers and once-hundred-million-dollar talented stars like Rashford, have not been able to help Manchester United score more goals.
First, let's share a set of statistics for you, this season Manchester United has 29 assists, 42 chances, and 14.2 shots per game, which are ranked 5th or 6th in the league, which perfectly matches their current record. Therefore, at present, Manchester United's midfield actually has problems as a whole, on the one hand, the combination of midfield has not been stable, Pogba, who has a stronger ability to play, cannot find a suitable partner, on the other hand, the offensive combination of the frontcourt, whether it is C Ronaldo and Rashford or Sancho, the effect of the combination does not seem to be the best, which is a problem that Lonnick needs to solve.
The biggest reason for the current situation of Manchester United is actually not Lonnick, in the past few seasons, Manchester United has exposed certain problems in terms of reinforcements and team training. Since Mourinho left, Manchester United has given players the right to autonomy a little too much, let them play happily, but there is no way to bring the team championship, now this part of the players are very obvious advantages and disadvantages of the players, want to perfectly combine, the difficulty is really very large, at least from now on, not Lonnick can solve. To really solve this problem, United have only two paths, either to rebuild the team with great boldness or to find a real tactical master and pinch these people together.
