Merson: Manchester United chose the wrong coach, the team is not suitable for this tactic, and the players are not working hard enough

After Manchester United were eliminated from the League Cup by English League Two team Greensby, Sky Sports commentator Paul Merson talked about his views on the current situation of Manchester United.

Paul Merson said: "I watched the whole game, including the penalty shootout, and it felt like: I didn't work hard enough. No matter how talented you are, you have to work hard. I don't disrespect Greensby, but they shouldn't compete with Manchester United. If Manchester United plays with Greensby's attitude, it will only be a crushing defeat, but it is not the case."

" Some of them think they only played because their opponent is Greensby, and they won't play against Burnley on the weekend. Instead of thinking: When I walked off the court, Greensby's fans and players would say: I don't know he is so powerful, which is obviously not true."

" Half of the players have problems with their attitude. They did have unpopularity in the past, but the venue conditions were poor at that time. This time the venue was perfect. , Manchester United should easily beat Greensby. "

" Ronaldo is not the peak of talent just by relying on his talent. If great players like him need to work hard, why can't Manchester United players do it? This is a sign of arrogance. Who can knock on the head coach's door on the weekend and ask: Why don't I get on the court? And they all want to leave! Where can they go? Who will want them? "

" When Amorin said his players spoke loudly to him, it means he has seen that they are not playing for him. Then he said: I can't replace all 22 players, which obviously means he may need to leave. I have been a head coach, and you can know when something is wrong." When Amorin took office, everyone knew that he would use the three-back system, Manchester United knew, and the club knew. He got the job because of this style of playing, but they don't have players who are suitable for this style of playing. If he coached at Chelsea and had offensive wingbacks like Gustou and Rees James, the situation might be different, with Chelsea having three central defenders that can adapt to his style of play. ”

" Manchester United chose the wrong person, and they had to change the entire lineup. Amorin will not change his system, and Manchester United will not make large-scale substitutions. He came from Portugal to one of the largest clubs in the world and continued to stick to his playing style. Why did he change? ”

"He didn't want to take over mid-season because he knew these players weren't suitable for his system, without the right wingback, and now he was in trouble. Amorin may have to choose to use offense to solve the problem, such as the front line composed of Mbermo, Cunya and Sheshko, plus B fees, but I don't think this will work. ”

"If Manchester United can't beat Burnley, I would be surprised that Amorin can continue to coach, but they should be able to win the game. Tenghah had also faced a similar situation: they ranked second to last after losing three or four games, they won one game, and then lost three or four games in a row. ”

"This is just a temporary cover-up. I don't think Amorin will endure it. He will say: I have tried my best, but I can do nothing. I don't think he's going to endure the pain to get the termination, and although I don't know him, he seems to be an honest person, but I still think they will beat Burnley. ”

"In my opinion, winning a league championship, a World Cup or a European Cup requires excellent goalkeepers. Onana did not save Manchester United's loss points, but instead often lost points. So once you lose points, this becomes a big problem. They need a new goalkeeper. I see Donnarumma is there, why not consider him? But they have already spent their money elsewhere. ”

" They also need the ability to run in the midfield, and no one can win any game without running in the midfield. They spent £70 million to buy Sheshko but let him play the 10th penalty? I thought he would be like this if his leg broke. Some people say that he doesn't want to bear the pressure, he is a £70 million player! He came to help Manchester United return to the top, but he was playing the 10th penalty? He should be the top five who took penalty kicks, and I forgot that he was on the court until he stood up and played the 10th penalty. ”
