Things are not going well at Manchester United. The arrival of ‘The Special One’ is not bringing the instant success many glory hungry fans and the Glazer family dreamt it would. Like society or the 2016 U.S presidential election, something must give or things will just be crazy!!
Manchester United continue to disappoint at every possible turn. This time last year before the injury crisis The Red Devils sat top of the table and Louis Van Gaal looked well the part of interim King.
We all know things deteriorated due to a massive injury problem. Van Gaal is gone now. Many fair-weather fans being pleased to his back despite coping through the crisis and winning the once coveted FA Cup.
Now these fans seem to be souring on the new boss Jose Mourinho. Two months of failing to succeed must end soon to save the Portuguese manager’s reputation and, dare I say it, job!
Here’s 5 ways Manchester United and Jose Mourinho can at least begin to turn things around by beating Bob Bradley’s woeful Swansea side:
Goalkeeping; Let’s have the David De Gea we all know and love back
Jose Mourinho is bringing out the worst in the World’s best. This is something that is being more and more talked about. Paul Pogba, the most expensive player on the planet, has had maybe 3 great games. Paul Scholes was free and had 3 every fortnight.
Then there is one of the most prolific goal-scorers in football history, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, But I’ll come back to him.
The fact David Dea is suddenly in the worst form of his career since his early days at Manchester united when Fergie was telling us to just settle down and wait for his brilliance, is troubling.
David De Gea is literally the ONE consistent Manchester United. Every year winning everyone’s best player award. From fans to players. Everyone knows Manchester United is still a relevant name because of how good the Spaniard is.
He needs to shake off the negative results and be a rock in what should be a dull afternoon for him.
Defence: It’s makeshift, but let’s make it work.
Luke Shaw and Timothy Fosu-Mensah should be the wing backs. No more Darmian, we’re done caring.
If Chris Smalling isn’t fit and with Eric Bailly sidelined, it’ll likely be Daley Blind, known affectionately as “Daley no pace” and Marcus “Your legs are there to be broken” Rojo.
This is a world of problems but i think some discipline and taking Blind off certain corner duty so he can’t track back will help.
Midfield: Please, no Fellaini
I am so scared. Scared that with Ander Herrera out through suspension Jose Mourinho will turn to the big mistake from Belgium. He’s awful Jose, you know it, we know i., He doesn’t belong in the starting 11.
With Paul Poba likely out through injury, this is a chance for Michael Carrick to make his Premier League case heard.
Attackers: We are spoiled for choice
Marcus Rashford is out with a thigh injury. So Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial have a real

chance to make an impact. This latest tactic of continuously passing around 9 men in the box defending before shooting from 20 yards will not do.
These attackers need to go at defenders. turn them, switch feet and deliver decisive balls. The talent here is too good to ignore.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic….
Absolutely no Manchester United fan cares what you have done before you entered Old Trafford as one of us. You took on the challenge of turning 35 years old in your first season in the Premier League. Maintaining you could still score. So score!! That’s all you have to do and we will get behind you.
