The Manchester United Thread

Full-Time. Entertaining U23s game.

A well deserved win against a good albeit 10-man Chelsea.

4-2 (Shoretire 2, Amad, Helm)


Amad, Mejbri, Shortire way to good for this level
 
The Manchester United manager has often been criticised for not having a definite style of football, but Bielsa insisted that the Red Devils have done something that is very hard to achieve – simplifying their tactics.

He stressed that Manchester United’s style is easy to break down but insisted that it is a compliment as simplifying the tactics and playing to their strengths is a lot harder to do than it sounds.


Bielsa said in a press conference: “The more simple the football is, the better it is. This principle is supported when the players do what they should do and what they are best doing.

“In this sense, Man United is an example of this.


“They do what they know best how to do and this has permitted them to create a style. That the game is simple to decipher.

“This is praise because to be able to play simple is very difficult and when we achieve it is very satisfying.”

Solskjær: "I've never hidden the fact that I've got coaches who are better than me on the pitch. The main chunks of the sessions, that's Kieran [McKenna], Michael [Carrick], Martyn [Pert] and Fletch [Darren Fletcher]. They do them." [Sky Sports]

Solskjær: "Man-management is my passion. I've got other skills, of course, but you've got to look at what other people can bring to the table that you can't." [Sky Sports]


Some very honest quotes from Ole. It's one of the most important qualities but I do think if that's one of the biggest factors you bring to the table you also need to have some very experienced coaches, a lot of these guys he's relying on are just starting their coaching career.
