Danny Murphy: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can't play against Guardiola, Klopp and Tuchel... The United manager is not strong enough and does not have the tactical acumen of Guardiola and Klopp.
The Manchester United players are too comfortable and Solskjaer needs tougher discipline.
Guardiola, Klopp and Tuchel are among the best coaches in the world. They set very high standards and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a lot worse than them.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has the ability to do a lot at Manchester United – he helped the team improve and was close to winning the trophy.
But supporters and management want more than that. They need trophies and former Liverpool player Murphy doesn't believe Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can play against his opponent tactically or that he can match his opponents in influencing higher-level decisions.
They have a clear mind when it comes to doing what is best for the team. Pep had said he was going to exclude Sterling and John Stones, but that didn't drain his energy. Klopp approved Coutinho's sale, which was controversial at the time because the Brazilian did not conform to Klopp's vision.
Earlier this season, Tuchel picked eight defenders when Chelsea were struggling and left a group of big-name players on the bench as he wanted to win the game again. This may be the strong attitude that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needs, but it has not been seen so far and may never be seen.
Even though United put Fred and Scott McTominay in midfield, they didn't get enough help from the four players in front of them. This may not be the laziness of the wingers and Bruno Fernandez, but the lack of leadership skills in management. Players need to be aware of their duties and understand the consequences of not following instructions.
David Silva was already a world-class player when Guardiola arrived at Manchester City, but his stats in terms of pressing, defending and chasing the ball were still staggering. The same goes for Aguero. They knew they couldn't play without adapting to Pep's new tactical philosophy.
At Manchester United, too many players are too comfortable.
Manchester United players have a lot of creative players who can score beautiful goals but the defence is fragile. It could be exciting, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer doesn't know what he'll get. His problem is how to adapt to his offensive players without losing the balance of the team.
Now, United rely on their individual talents to get out of trouble. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to please the fans with Manchester United's style of play because he knows the traditions of Manchester United.
Is it a mistake to sign Ronaldo? Cristiano Ronaldo is a great striker, but his presence brings more problems than solved.
Without him Manchester United scored a lot of goals and Ronaldo's arrival affected the playtime of others. Mason Greenwood would have had more time in the centre position, while Sancho would have had more time on the right.
On the defensive end, with or without Ronaldo, United's problems will exist because they have four offensive players who don't do enough to control the ball.
Signing Cristiano Ronaldo has greater commercial appeal, but the team would benefit more if they signed a world-class defensive midfielder, as they already have Cavani, Rashford, Greenwood, Martial and Sancho as options.
What should be the plan for Liverpool?
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has also made some tweaks in the past against Liverpool, once using a double striker, but, given United's current defence, they should have made things easy and aligned with Liverpool on the pitch.
That means playing a 4-3-3 formation and ensuring that three midfielders, including Bruno Fernandez or Pogba (if on the pitch), play a defensive role in the game.
In this case, the key is for The Manchester United players to win their personal confrontation - Bissaka's task is to stop Mane, Luke Shaw's task is to stop Salah. At the other end, Marcus Rashford, Sancho or anyone who plays on the wing will have to beat Arnold and Andy Robertson.
By replicating Liverpool's system, making sure they don't get controlled in any area of the pitch, turning into a tactical battle and then depending on the quality of the players, United have that ability.
Should Pogba get a new contract?
Pogba has great ability and has a good start to the season. But if United are going to build their attack around Bruno and Cristiano Ronaldo, what's the point of keeping Pogba on a lucrative new contract and then using him as a small role player?
Against formidable opponents, the combination of Bruno and Pogba in midfield did not work. If Pogba had to play on the wing, it would be a waste of a talented midfielder.
From Pogba's point of view, why did he continue to stay at Old Trafford when he was transferred from one position to another? His departure makes sense for all parties, as he won't be one of the main characters and he's too talented to make a cameo.
Is buying Vanderbeek a form of PR?
Sometimes you sign a player but he doesn't live up to your expectations – it seems particularly strange, his favourite position is where Bruno Fernandez plays and he's not that good, so why invest £35m?
Why did Sancho start so slowly?
Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival didn't help him as it limited his chances in his favorite position and Greenwood had to play on the wing.
Sancho didn't play a minute at Euro 2020, but he started training later than other players, so he wasn't ready for his first game in the Premier League. It felt like he'd been chasing after that ever since. As a player, the best seasons are always after the proper pre-season.
He was young and when he went to a club like Manchester United, he needed help and guidance. When it comes to handling things, Marcus Rashford is his role model. Marcus Rashford was sidelined for a while with a shoulder injury, but his performance last week was full of passion and focus.
Marcus Rashford said to the manager : "If I'm in good health, you have to let me play. ”
