#2 Getting more Involvement from the Youth Setup
Youth players breaking into the first team is a good sight to see in global football. It lifts the atmosphere around the team seeing a local lad breaking into a club's professional sports team. And they are usually far more explosive and agile with raw talent and ability.
Since Solskjaer's appointment, Tahith Chong, 19, and Mason Greenwood, 17, have been handed their professional debuts, along with Angel Gomes, 18, and Andreas Pereira, 23, who have benefited from Solskjaer. It had been a tremendous sight seeing these youngsters break into the team, but realistically, they have lots to improve on in order to compete at the highest level.
They should not be derailed, however. Marcus Rashford, 12 goals in all competitions, and Jesse Lingard, 5 goals, demonstrated that breaking into the Manchester United first team can be accomplished.
These youngsters should continue to develop at Manchester United and benefit from being involved in the first team.
#1 Sign Big Name Signings
Aside from Paul Pogba, does Manchester United possess world class footballers? Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial possess the talent and assets to become elite footballers but are still far away from being considered world class. Alexis Sanchez currently looks as if he's lost the fire and ruthlessness which made him so lethal at Arsenal. Romelu Lukaku remains Romelu Lukaku.
In order to truly compete against city rivals, Manchester City and arch-rivals Liverpool, ruthlessness in the transfer market will be required. Not only looking to bring players in from a commercial standpoint but footballers who can instantly make an impact to the side. A Gareth Bale to pair Anthony Martial in the wings would light the Theatre of Dreams. Lazio's Sergej Milinković-Savić to solidify the midfield alongside Paul Poga is another player Manchester United should take into consideration.
With rumors about Mauro Icardi looking unsettled, Manchester United should go all in order to get a week in week out lethal goal scorer. They can not afford to have another weak transfer market. With their opponents constantly improving, they will have to make the uncomfortable business decisions in order to succeed.
