Manchester United finding its game identity under Gunnar Solksjaer


Manchester United 4, Bournemouth 1
Old Trafford, Manchester

Finally, the day came when this squad found its game, in its star-studded roster, and initial eleven finally started playing as a team, this in part thanks to the arrival of their savior Ole Gunner Solksjaer.

With a goal rout over Bournemouth and Paul Pogba being its game hero with a couple of goals, the Red Devils are suddenly seeing a revival in their game and seeing a total unity in the field.

 That is the case ever since manager Solksjaer took the helm as an interim of the Trafford side, inheriting a divided dressing room and with several players considered tops playing like these were still in the academy. 

The job did not look enticing or motivating at all for the former Manu great that has inscribed his name in glory since his playing days and now he is on the crusade to turn things around in the Theater of Dreams. 

Suddenly the likes of Paul Pogba is seeing a revival in his game and playing like a that expensive superstar, Romelu Lukaku finding his scoring drive and the whole squad playing like these were involved on a championship run.

That is the United I am familiar with playing with all the passion for a multimillion-payroll roster that in this campaign was exposing in its game the conflict within them and their former Boss Mou, who lately his winning drive is becoming a conflict stricken one.

As I recall in one of Cesar Luis Menotti the manager that gave Argentina National Team its first World Cup back in 1978, the mystic of success in any team is its unity and spite of having the best players this essential ingredient missing will not deliver anything. 

However many state that these recent streak of victories over so called troublesome squads, yesterday against Bournemouth these are no minnows or playing like such as Eddie Howe and company can be somehow seen as all around spoilers. 

Now a chap can turn things around if he gets the nod for coming and manage at Old Trafford, as manager Howe considered as another promising great manager to take over a squad of the likes of Manu, Chelsea, City or Liverpool.

Still this is curtain time for Ole Gunner Solksjaer currently lifting his former team of his glory days into an all-around competitor winning in its last outing and adding three consecutive wins this somehow is a confidence booster for a squad suddenly submerged in misery. 

So far, wins against Cardiff City, Huddersfield and yesterday against Bournemouth, these three squads are no walks in the park as the first ones fighting of their permanency in the end they can be a handful as well. 

As Paul Pobga started the fireworks in the 5’ and 33’ with assists from Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera, then Marcus Rashford score in the 45’ with Anthony Martial assit and Romelu Lukaku in the 72’ via Paul Pogba. 

In this match with ten men left after Eric Bailly red card, in the end Manu defensive game too stingy for the visiting Cherries and raising to another win as well seeing how one of its aces finally started getting their old momentum back.
