Paul Ince hands warning to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer amid Manchester United’s average form

Manchester United legend Paul Ince has said that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needs to find a solution to the club’s recent run of poor form. The Red Devils have done tremendously well in the second part of the season to come on the cusp of the top four, but they have recently suffered a couple of defeats which have slightly distanced them from the Champions League places.

Speaking to Paddy Power, Ince said that Ole has done a fantastic job in reviving the club’s top-four prospects this term, but the club need to get their act together to seal the objective of Champions League football for next season, he told: “They need to be picking up results, especially when they’ve still got the likes of Man City to play if they want to make those Champions League spots. Ultimately, Man United have to be in the Champions League. It’s simply not good enough if they’re not. Don’t get me wrong, Ole has done a fantastic job in getting them to this point, but they need to finish the job off.”

David de Gea’s former coach suggests goalkeeper could leave Manchester United

David de Gea’s former goalkeeping coach Eric Steele has suggested that the Spaniard may consider a potential challenge elsewhere if Manchester Unitedfail to come close to winning the Champions League. The 28-year-old has been with the Red Devils since the summer of 2011 and during this period, he has transformed into one of the world’s most exciting shot-stoppers.

Despite this, his performances have not quite translated into success for the team as a whole and United have been far off from competing for Premier League and Champions League honours since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club five years ago. Speaking to the Goalkeepers’ Union Podcast, Steele said that De Gea remains fully committed to the Mancunian giants but there could be a time where he may seek a fresh challenge to enhance his Champions League-winning prospects.

Jose Mourinho Confirms Michael Carrick Will Start Against Watford

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Michael Carrick will make a final start in the Red Devils shirt when they host Watford in the final game of the Premier League season. The 36-year-old has largely been a fringe player this term and this has mostly resulted from an irregular heart rhythm for which he underwent an operation earlier in the season.

Speaking in a pre-conference ahead of the West Ham game, Mourinho said: “Now his body says enough, the club and myself want to keep the man. He will start the last match at Old Trafford and he will captain in front of the fans. The most important quality is to be a man and football is not full of them. Society is not full of them.So when you find one of them, you have to value and you have to keep.”

Romelu Lukaku insists he is not the finished article

Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku has responded to criticism over his recent goalscoring in all competitions. The Belgium international joined the Red Devils from Everton last summer, and he has since cemented a regular spot in the starting line-up.

Lukaku started the campaign in fine fashion with 11 goals in just 10 matches, but the month of October brought no joy as he failed to score in six appearances. Despite his lean streak, Jose Mourinho has recently insisted that the Belgian’s position is ‘untouchable’ and Lukaku has now come forward to answer his critics.
