Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has seen his selection calls at Manchester United questioned by Owen Hargreaves, with the former Red Devils midfielder puzzled by some of the decisions being made.
He told Optus Sport after seeing United suffer a 1-0 defeat at Newcastle to leave them in the bottom half of the Premier League table: “Think about the start of the game.
“One position Juan Mata has never played at Manchester United on the left wing – he starts on the left wing.
“Everybody moans that he plays on the right, then he plays on the left for some reason.
“[Andreas] Pereira is a No.10, he plays on the right.
“[Marcus] Rashford is struggling for confidence, we’re not sure if he’s a No.9.
“Fred, I feel sorry for him because he’s struggling in a United shirt.
“You’ve got so many people in positions which aren’t even their own. Ashley Young was playing left-back.
“The only bright spark I’d say was [Axel] Tuanzebe. I thought he played really well.
“But the rest is so far off what you’d expect. I feel sorry for United fans because this will take a long time to fix.”

pogba as a no 6, pereira as a no 7 (right winger), mata occasionally as a winger, rashford as a no 9: if ole doesn't fix these basic out of positioned players, we will keep going down.

I dont see any future in our squad formation...this 4-2-3-1 is not good with us were we have young attackers like greenwood let ole change the squad formation at least 4-1-3-2 or 4-4-2 let us attack
I really do agree that we should play 4123. really, we need to move the ball foward quickly( not make clueless back passes). one holding midfielder is enough. mctominay can do that job, after all he is a more defensive mid because he can't really play the ball foward. he gives it away. that is not because he's bad but because he is doing something he's not supposed to. meanwhile others sleep in their places. our fowards just stick to one place. looking at rashford I feel like even I can play better as a no. 9. I know he doesn't get enough service but it's his fault too. he makes no off the ball movement GGMU

I agree with u a 100 and 1%. but I will like to point out one key factor. Last season Man Utd needed at least 4 players to there last year squad. now this season they sold, lined and let go of 6. that is they needed 10 more players they bought only 3 can you imagine. now the coach has about 5 injured. who the hell is he supposed to play, now he is playing players out of positions Bcus there is no body to put in key areas. the Man United board should be ashamed of them selves for me the coach has no fault at all. he is bringing a sword to a gun fight Bcus thats all he has
yes true what you say. board need to back the manager. but they won't because they want to feed the GLAZERS POCKETS!!!!!. they are looking for options that will put out the fire of united fans. they have e solskjaer the job because he will listen to them and the fans will not put as much pressure simply because he is a united legend. yes he does have the ability. he could do it when he was caretaker manager. so he can do it now. maybe as you say; he is playing wrong formation and wrong players due to lack of availability. we are relying on dan James , mctominay , Pereira , every game. these are players still in a transition into the first team. they should play some and be dropped some. they are still young. they will be inconsistent. we need proper business to be done. people want greenwood to start. yes he's brilliant but pressure on him at such a young age is no good. it will in fact bring bad out of him instead of his true talent. GLAZERS AND WOODWARD SHOULD GO!

any united fan asking them to sack Ole or thinks ole has a fault is really sick. he inherited a problem that took 5years to start and to my knowledge has no actual backing to do better. but I will like to point out one key factor. Last season Man Utd needed at least 4 players to there last year squad. now this season they sold, loned and let go of 6. that is they needed 10 more players they bought only 3 can you imagine. now the coach has about 5 injured. who the hell is he supposed to play, now he is playing players out of positions Bcus there is no body to put in key areas. the Man United board should be ashamed of them selves for me the coach has no fault at all. he is bringing a sword to a gun fight Bcus thats all he has
He could have get all the players he needed in the transfer window, he has the chance to sign Bruno Fernandes and some other player buh they refuse to sign them which is what we’re suffering from at the moment...

PROBLEMS AT MAN UTD: 1. low quality players.( not sooo bad, good enough for at least 6th place) 2. manager playing wrong tactics( whether by he likes this formation or he's playing it out of fear of losing , I don't know) 3. Woodward controlling the wrong stuff( he's a business man, doesn't know jack about football) WHAT MAN UTD SHOULDN'T DO: - don't sack solskjaer( even a new manager will still face the same problem. we've been sacked 3 managers and all those that replaced them faced same problem even though two of them were once top managers. so no manager in the world can solve our problem until entire structure is sorted out. the only difference a new manager can make is correct formation. but even solskjaer cam play good formation. look at his time as caretaker manager. why he has suddenly decided on this stupid formation , I don't know) WHAT MAN UTD DO NEED TO DO: 1. remove Woodward from his post and replace him with a good director of football. some who knows stuff about football. Woodward should stick to the business stuff of man utd) 2. appoint a good director of football who has authority. someone who can make sure the board backs the manager. currently solskjaer is a puppet of Woodward and Glazers. he will not DEMAND players that he needs. he will buy as they allow him. no manager would( only fergie did, morinho tried but he got the sack. a mistake from the board. they should not have sacked him but instead should have backed him). a director of football can help manager get backing. 3. understand ole's vision. if the vision is good and worthwhile then he says otherwise replace him. but to do so we need a director of football. someone who understands football is the only one who can understand ole's vision 4. after all the above has been done, then buy players according to managers ideas and style of play
