OLE'S UNITED HAVE NO IDENTITY, NO PLAN AND A RONALDO PROBLEM

That's the view of Danny Blind - the father of ex-United star Daley who is back working as assistant coach to former Old Trafford boss Louis van Gaal with Holland.

Blind said: "What is the identity of this Manchester United team? What is his plan? “It is exactly that what is missing with Solskjaer.

"There is not a tactical plan. His team are not able to put pressure on their opponents like Manchester City.

“It does not always have to be full pressing but we don't see any of it - everything in the United team is based on the individual qualities of players.

“They have those qualities and it often gets a result for the team. But it is never a team result. It has not been looking good in a number of matches.

“United struggle to be dominant - that is the whole problem.”
