There were sporadic boos at Old Trafford, the team was again blocked by the relegation zone, and two United executives in the director's box began to talk. This summer, Manchester United's new president, Richard Arnold, along with football director John Mertav, need to rebuild Manchester United again. Before the start of the season and even early in the season, fans had idealized that with the return of Cristiano Ronaldo, United only needed to buy a few more players to regain the ability to compete for the title.
At the time, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was also triumphant, feeling that he had a chance to storm his first trophy after coaching Manchester United. But he can never achieve it, Manchester United has had 3 managers this season, but now Lonnick is still only a temporary coach. Being forced to draw 0-0 by Watford is a huge setback for Manchester United to compete for four this season, the season has reached the final stages, March has arrived, which will be the toughest month for Manchester United. On Sunday, United will visit the Etihad Stadium for their 187th Manchester Derby against Manchester City, followed by Atletico Madrid at home in the Champions League, then back in the Premier League to challenge Tottenham, and finally to Anfield against Liverpool.
But March is also spring, the time of rebirth. Before Solskjaer's dismissal, his Manchester United had been ravaged by Liverpool and Manchester City, and then lost 4-1 to Watford.
Although United are now in fourth place in the Premier League, Arsenal are only two points behind in three games and the two teams will meet directly at the Emirates Stadium on 23 April, but United need to make sure they are still competing for the top four. In addition, West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur are not to be underestimated, and they may send Manchester United to next season's Europa League at any time.
Whether United can win the top four of the Premier League this season, which represents a Place in the Champions League, changes must be made. The club are still evaluating future options, but Ronnick is unlikely to turn right, with Pochettino and Tenhag being favourites for the official manager.
Ronnick has managed 15 games, United have only lost once, he is a qualified firefighting coach, but he is not the right person to lead United back to the top, just like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, because of lack of ability.
The British "Daily Mail" disclosed that Manchester United's new president Arnold hopes to appoint a new manager as soon as the end of the season, so that the manager can play his due role in the reinforcements. United will have huge personnel changes this summer, and the number of players leaving is likely to reach double digits.
Cavani, Jesse Lingard and Mata are set to leave when their contracts expire; Pogba will also become free agents after June 30, with a better chance to leave the team; Martial, Van de Beek, Dean Henderson can't play the main force and are thinking about a transfer; Mason Greenwood, Eric Bai, Phil Jones, Nemanja Matic and even Ronaldo's future is still pending.
Manchester United, made up of five players brought in by different managers, is long overdue for an "overhaul" that will free up space and salary space for new signings.
Manchester United's three lines need to be strengthened: in the front line, against Watford, Manchester United created a lot of opportunities, but all were wasted, C Ronaldo only scored 1 goal in 10 games has been significantly aging, Greenwood fell into a scandal and could not participate, Rashford was lost, Martial was rented out after falling out of favor, Manchester United fans can only hope for The performance of Erlanga.
In midfield, there are also four or five players led by Pogba who may leave the team, especially at the back, which is the only position in which Solskjaer has not been introduced during his time in charge.
A tragic stat shows that United's main centre-forward Cristiano Ronaldo, with as many as 25 offsides, leads Wolves' Raul Jimenez and Brentford's Ivan Tony, ranking first in the Premier League. There is no problem with Ronaldo's running position, so the reason for so much offside can only be that the midfield pass behind him is not decisive enough. As a result, United need to boost midfield toughness and creativity at the same time in the summer window.
On the defensive line, Maguire and Wan Bissaka, who spent £130 million, have been criticized for lack of progress and decline in form. Apart from the goalkeepers, United look like they need new signings for every position.
