Ole’s Manchester United are a tricky team as on their day they can beat even the best club in the world but maintaining consistency has been their biggest issue in the last couple of seasons.
A record-equalling 9-0 defeat to Southampton followed by some shocking results against Sheffield United, Everton, and West Brom is a perfect example of how their inconsistency creeps up at pivotal phases.
Manchester United was sitting on the top of the summit with an amazing streak going for them but issues at the back once again pegged them back as their city rivals overtook them and have now created quite a bit of distance between the two.
Robie Fowler shared his thoughts with Paul Scholes on his podcast regarding the current Manchester United side and felt that on their day this team could beat any side but the fact remains that they keep giving away points in crunch matches.
This was somewhat reminiscent of the Liverpool side of the 90s that could match the best but lost important matches during the season. They had to wait for three decades to gain the title again and are having a pretty rugged season so far.
Paul Scholes agreed with Robbie Fowler on his views about this Manchester United side. Ole’s men have made great progress ever since he has taken over but a few pieces in the puzzle still seem to be missing for them.
Their issues at the back are one of the issues that need to be addressed but more importantly, a core team that can give you consistent results every week is the need of the hour if Manchester United wants to challenge for titles.
