it will prob take a long time for the ideology to be changed... it was unfortunate that solkjaer tried to instill the traditional manutd ideology and way of playing football... i.e. from his 1999 time, bully smaller teams from the start.. or from when rooney and ronaldo joined, quick counter attack and fast direct transition from defend to attack.....
all these styles OUT liao... outdated and almost no longer relevant. nowadays even bottom teams play front pressing... you all notice nowadays all the goal kicks very funny, almost no long kick them long and far liao.... then defender will stand in very weird awkward positions near the gk during goal kick, like sec school days LOL. then gk will usually kick short and let the defenders pass it out of the pressing, this is something that manutd do rather badly.
ever since klopp and guardiola came in ... football has really evolved liao. mourinho traditional strong core park bus method also cannot work liao.
now is all klopp and guardiola style... high press, win back ball, play simple, short passes, be patient, look for openings, have outstanding creative attacking players... like this can easily win many many games.
manutd still stuck with most of the old methods sure die.
