On Wednesday, United will face Atletico Madrid in the champions league quarter-finals. However, in an interview, Manchester United midfielder Fred criticised the club, citing the club's lack of long-term planning as one of the key reasons United were unable to win the title.
After firing Solskjaer, Lonnick was named interim manager, much to Fred's displeasure, "It's a bit strange to do that. I know it's important in football to get good results as soon as possible, but it's also important to have a long-term plan. For us, it was a bit bad not to have an official manager. ”
"At the moment, it's all about short-term goals. We don't know what will happen after the season is over and the club should have better football plans. ”
"Every player who comes to this club wants to win the title, me, Bruno, Ronaldo, Sancho, every one of us thinks so. We want to get a trophy, but the club hasn't gotten a trophy in a long time. Despite our respect for Villarreal, it was our job to win the Europa League final, but we failed. ”
"If you don't want to win a title, you don't deserve to play for Manchester United. We're still playing in the Champions League, but we'll see if we can get back to our peak next season. I know we didn't play well enough, but we had a lot of great players. We have to work hard because we're still far from the favourites to win the Champions League. ”
