United lost, lost to Liverpool, and it was a fiasco. After Manchester United lost, many people were thinking about Manchester United's problems. Recently, Manchester United star Gary Neville said in an interview that the main problem of Manchester United is that the rights of players in manchester United are greater than those of the manager. It is precisely because of this that Manchester United has become what it is now. And all of this, perhaps, began with Mourinho's dismissal, and it was his dismissal that made Manchester United players realize that players can be higher than the team.
Neville said after the game: "Look at Manchester United's reinforcements over the past decade, it's pogba, Alexis Sanchez, and they also put players above the coaches, and then look at Liverpool and Manchester City, in their teams, the coach is the one who is on top. Over the past decade, United have elevated the player's voice to a god-like position, but the players not only perform badly, but also weaken the manager's voice, the player can do better, the coach can do better. Neville's words are actually not wrong at all, in recent years, Manchester United's players have indeed surpassed the manager, and it all began with the firing of Mourinho at the top.
The reason why Mourinho was dismissed was because of the poor relationship with some players, such as Martial and Pogba, and at that time, Manchester United chose to renew Martial, leaving Pogba and firing Mourinho. Of course, when the manager is not doing well, it is normal for you to change the manager, but what is not normal is that Manchester United did not have any penalties for Pogba and Martial after firing Mourinho. If United had fired Mourinho and then sold either of Martial and Pogba, the situation might have been different.
Of course, the dismissal of The Coach can be said to be just the introduction to the situation that Manchester United players are higher than the manager, and what really makes Manchester United players feel that their rights are huge is what happens later. When the season after Mourinho's departure ended, Pogba publicly expressed his desire to leave the team, and the punishment he received was actually praised by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Of course, when Martial performed poorly on the pitch, he got the support of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. It is precisely because of these things that perhaps the Manchester United players feel that their rights can be higher than that of the manager. After all, you have openly expressed your hope to leave the team, and the manager still defends you, doesn't this mean that no matter what I do or say, the manager can't do anything with me?
In fact, In recent years, United have placed too much emphasis on the players and too much neglect of the manager. Previously, according to the analysis of some media, the reason why the Manchester United executives were so indulgent to Pogba was mainly because Pogba occupied a pivotal position in Manchester United's business operations. It can be seen that in the minds of the top, making money is the most important, and everything else is secondary. And the top management has such an idea, such a mentality, which may have led to such a problem in Manchester United, after all, anywhere, it is easy to change a leader, and it will be very difficult to change half of the people below!
