DBasia.news – Former Liverpool player, Don Hutchison, assess Manchester United as a mediocre team when observing the contents of the team’s squad.
Manchester United were defeated for the second time this season in the 2019-2020 Premier League after West Ham United beat them 2-0. Currently, the Red Devils are stuck in eighth place in the standings.
Don Hutchison considers it reasonable if Manchester United finds it difficult to compete at the top of the board. The 48-year-old man asserted, Man United can not expect much from young players.
“What Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has to think is that his team is not as good as he imagined,” Don Hutchison said as reported by Express .
“He has a lot of young players. However, I don’t think they have enough quality to make Manchester United progress,” he added.
“I think he can continue at a higher level – when you see what needs to be addressed.”
One thing that was highlighted by Don Hutchison was Man United’s choice to sell Romelu Lukaku without getting a replacement. According to Don Hutchison, that was a fatal decision.
“Yes, it was Solskjaer’s decision to sell Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku. It was a big decision when selling Lukaku without looking for a replacement. Man United doesn’t have the quality anymore.”
“You can see Marcus Rashford who is considered not the number nine player. He played more from the left side,” said Don Hutchison.
“The team that you see is probably the most ordinary Manchester United I have seen in a long time,” he continued.
