Ole Gunnar Solskjaer pacified the Manchester United and he restored the confidence of the group, but failed in what is most requested of the coach in the most valuable court teams in the world: titles, which cost him his position after three years at the head of the club.
“This club means everything to me, we are to each other, unfortunately I couldn’t give the results we needed. It’s time to step aside, “said the former coach in an interview on the club’s website, admitting that he had not been able to” fight for the league, win titles. “
In 2018 the Manchester United was ranked as the most valuable soccer team in the world according to Forbes, with an estimated 4.120 million dollars, but far from the bonanza, the team, then led by the Portuguese José Mourinho, was unmotivated and without unity. Solskjaer He took the position of interim technical director and his main task was to mentally repair the group.
His human qualities helped to manage the team and he immediately managed to improve the sporting results, after 14 games without knowing the defeat, the club’s management confirmed him in the position. They had 19 consecutive games without defeat between March and July 2020, which allowed United to reach the podium (3rd) in the Premier League, and 14 games unbeaten last season to finish behind the champion Manchester City; in addition to reaching the final of the Europa League last May. But the titles did not arrive and even the classification to the next Champions it looks complicated.
Despite luxury hires like those of Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan Bissaka, Donny van de Beek, Jadon Sancho, Raphaël Varane and Cristiano RonaldoIn order to compete against the best in the world, in the last four years the greatness of Manchester United is not synonymous with glory. His last titles were the League Cup and the Europa League in the 2016-17 season; in fact the last league championship of the Manchester United It was in the 2012-13 campaign under the leadership of Sir Alex Ferguson.
According to information from The Guardian, only nine men in the 143-year history of the Manchester United They’ve run the club for longer than Solskjaer’s three years, but no one in the postwar years has run so many games without winning a trophy, plus the club spent over $ 400 million on players (£ 300 million) during his tenure as a coach and currently has four of the top five highest paid players in the league.
The signing of Cristiano Ronaldo was one of the most recent attempts to return the institution to the fore, although it had an excellent market effect for the Red Devils, because the club’s actions shot up to almost 9% after the news of the return of the Portuguese star was released, according to opinions based on the same English media, the forward is not a player to build in the future, because it does not fit with modern pressure tactics.
“Losing it can affect the club’s marketability and the share price, but a continued streak of failures would be much more damaging in the long run. Ronaldo is no longer a player to build a future, but his departure can be facilitated and probably also economically exploited, “said writer John Brewin.
In the current season the Manchester United they lost seven of their last 13 games and the final straw in the decision to remove Solskjaer from office was a 4-1 loss to Watford. The Norwegian leaves the team in seventh position in the Premier, twelve points behind leaders Chelsea. Michael Carrick will be the coach in the next games, while the club looks for an interim for the remainder of the season.
