ANALYSIS: How Solskjaer’s United were baited into a trap and humiliated

There could be many things wrong with Manchester United [the same which almost all teams in the world] but the manner of their 5-0 thrashing on Sunday by their fiercest rivals, Liverpool showed the extent of the foundational re-engineering needed to make them league challengers again.

All the talk preceding Sunday’s collapse dwelled on the fact that United players looked disjointed in their pressing actions against Leicester City, which they lost 4-2; and the comeback 3-2 win over Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League.In an interview with Sky Sports, published on Saturday, Solskjaer revealed his naivety when he tried to argue Cristiano Ronaldo’s case of not doing enough to help United defensively.

They achieve this synergy on the training ground as the manager seeks to create the chemistry to inculcate and achieve the purpose of the press. All the players must know what and how they are supposed to move in concert with their teammates. From here, every strategy by the United team fell apart. When Salah scored Liverpool’s third goal, there were seven United players in the box and none of them made a valid tackle. United defenders chased shadows all day and if not, the Liverpool team took their foot off the pedal. United could have fallen to a heavier defeat, especially after Paul Pogba was sent off.
