Paul Merson is rather worried for Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – this is since Manchester United have been in poor form for most of the 2019-20 season.
“Every fixture is a big one when you’re Manchester United – but especially in the position they’re in. It was a massive pressure game against Tranmere. Of course they’re expected to beat them but you just never know. They did a professional job. Fair play, lads. Now they go to one of the best club teams in the world and if it goes wrong, they could be on the end of four or five. Man City did them a favour in the first leg. They’re the only team I know who, when they’ve got you down, they keep you down. I worry for Solskjaer. I think he’s a sitting duck,” said Merson.
“I say that because I’m thinking about the Bruno Fernandes deal and what the people upstairs might be thinking. I think he does tick the boxes. They need an attacking midfielder, a forward, a defender… I’m not being disrespectful but they need quite a few players! They certainly haven’t got the player to put the ball through the eye of a needle.”
He’s afraid that by next season, Solskjaer might be out.
“But will Solskjaer be there next season? It’s a difficult one.”
“They need to strengthen in all areas. They’re a million miles behind. I watched them against Burnley and I felt uncomfortable. This is Manchester United. The fear factor is gone. I look at them when they play Liverpool and, now Marcus Rashford is injured, who would get into the opposition team? I’d give Harry Maguire half a chance to get into the Liverpool squad. Sorry, but I couldn’t make a case for anyone else.”
Let’s hope United can go up the ladder and not get stuck in the fifth position till the end of the season.
