For United, if the team's form has not improved in the middle of the season, fans still have illusions that the team can reverse the decline in the sprint stage, however, from the actual situation, the team's form shows no signs of recovery, with only a few rounds of the league remaining, they have clearly drifted away from the top four. If the team remains in this state, even after two or three games, they will lose even their theoretical hopes. For Manchester United fans, from the full vision at the beginning of the season to the "chicken feathers" at the end of the season, they undoubtedly feel lost.
From the team's performance, from Lonnick's point of view, he did not choose to give up. In terms of specific tactical arrangements, he also tried as much as possible. Especially in some strong dialogues, he has some targeted settings in his tactical thinking. For example, he tried a 5-back formation. For United, who have been sticking to a 4-back formation for the most part, such a change is courageous. However, due to the overall poor state of the team, as well as the performance of players such as Maguire, coupled with the long-term lack of play by players such as Phil Jones, the team's change of formation did not achieve the tactical effect as expected. However, leaving aside the results, Lonnick's attempt is in stark contrast to some United players who have already chosen to give up. In any case, at the end of the season, Lonnick can have an account of his coaching experience. For the next head coach, how to clean up this "mess" will test his coaching wisdom very much.
From the overall level of the team, leaving aside the operational factors, the team needs to make drastic changes to the lineup. They need to make some important reinforcements to get the team's competitiveness back to top level. Among them, in the forward line, although C Ronaldo is still the best player in the offensive end of the team, objectively speaking, he is no longer suitable for supporting the offensive end of the team alone. If the team chooses to keep him in the squad next season, it will also have to find a good enough "helper" for him to use his physical strength in more important competitions. This can maximize his "residual heat". In the winger position, Jesse Lingard's future is basically out of the team, Greenwood's prospects are still uncertain, Marcus Rashford shows no signs of finding his form, and the potential of youngster Erlanga to cash in is unpredictable, so the team also needs to make some reinforcements.
In the transfer market, Nkunku, who has performed well, has been favored by many teams and has become one of the most eye-catching targets. According to Sport Bild, United have included the talented attacker in their reinforcements. Nkunku has produced nearly 50 goals in all competitions this season. If a team wants to sign him, the estimated transfer fee is €65 million.
On the defender line, United have barely seen players perform as expected this season. Not only has Wan Bissaka not made any progress on the offensive end, but even the defensive skills he relied on for a living have been lost; Luke Shaw's performance is "useless and blameless", neither much contribution nor brilliant play, and is becoming more and more mediocre. In the center-back position, Maguire almost single-handedly undertook the criticism of the team. On the defensive end, he seems to have been unable to get back on the right track, the confidence accumulated on the defensive end has disappeared, and perhaps the team should put him on the bench to help him adjust his mentality and adjust his competitive state. As a substitute, Lindelof and others can not let people see the hope of "picking the beam", which makes the team have to consider reinforcements. Judging from the current situation, a number of players, including Rudiger and Paul Torres, have appeared in the team's reinforcement list.
In the midfield position, there are also many problems that the team needs to solve urgently. Although from the perspective of age structure, the team is quite good in this position, but in terms of practical effect, it is obviously not ideal. Bruno Fernandez seems to have revealed the ceiling, he is difficult to be the star of this team, only suitable to be a pawn in the team's tactical system. Objectively speaking, Pogba, who is further behind, should be the team's real "metronome", the core player of the team's midfield. However, from the specific performance, Pogba's performance is even worse than the former. Moreover, unlike Bruno Fernandes, who has already renewed his contract with the team, Pogba is very interested in staying in the team. According to The Milan Sport, the team has completely lost confidence in Pogba and his departure is "set for the big picture". Judging from the current situation, he is basically certain that he will not continue to stay in the Premier League.
