A source close to Manchester United’s dressing room told The Athletic that players feel an “opportunity has been lost” during the window to build on the team and coaching staff’s work during lockdown when the club finished third and was gaining momentum.
Players feel the club “did not fight to the death” to enhance the squad for Solskjær this summer and that the sporting direction at the top of the club has too often been inconsistent in recent years.
United’s midfield superstar Paul Pogba has already voiced his views on joining Real Madrid – that he’d love to play for the Blancos someday and it is his dream.
Like Pogba, new signing Donny Van de Beek’s agent also revealed that he’s unhappy seeing a top midfielder getting fewer minutes.
There seems to be discontent around the whole United squad and its the beginning of the season. Players have started to question Solskjaer’s competency.
United faced heavy criticism when they lost 1-6 to Spurs at Old Trafford. They had previously lost 1-3 to Crystal Palace too. In the 3-2 win against Brighton. United’s performance was average. They’ve dropped six points in the first three games.
Things didn’t look good in the transfer market too. United failed to sign their top targets – Nathan Ake, Dayot Upamecano, Jadon Sancho, and Jack Grealish.
A right-winger was desperately needed – but Ole’s demands were not fulfilled. The same report by The Athletic understands that the board backs Ole and denies any talks with Mauricio Pochettino who was previously linked to replace Ole.
