BT sport football pundit and former United midfielder Owen Hargreaves has voiced his opinion about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, saying that he needs help desperately.
He has further even told Ole that finishing fifth in the table is the most close United can get to winning the title this season – and is the most realistic outlook one can give at the moment. But why is this so?
Manchester United have not had the best start to the 2019-20 season and are 6 points away from the one at the top four.
“He desperately needs help,” Hargreaves told BT Sport. “If you think, [Ander] Herrera left, [Marouane] Fellaini left, in midfield, they are really light.
“Then [Romelu] Lukaku leaves, [Alexis] Sanchez leaves, they don’t have any help up top.
“[Marcus] Rashford then gets injured, [Paul] Pogba hasn’t played. [Scott] McTominay, one of their best players this season, hasn’t played.
“The recruitment wasn’t there to back Ole up and then injuries to key players. To be fifth with this squad, I think right now is as good as it can possibly get.
“There are only four points separating fifth and 14th. I don’t think it’s going to move up, it’s more likely to go down and that’s the big worry.”
The latest report coming out of United is that they are hoping for a transfer for Islam Slimani which if true, is truly worrying for their top 4 hopes.
