It is not news anymore that Premier League giants Manchester United have parted ways with their former manager, Jose Mourinho, who fell out of favor in his third season at Old Trafford amidst negative results and frequent clashes against both the management and key figures in the dressing room.
Having gotten rid of the Portuguese, the Red Devils have now installed their former striker, Ole Solksjaer as their interim manager as they look forward to overturning their poor start to the campaign and the Norwegian tactician has wasted no time in getting his team together - having started his training sessions with the superstars and looking ready to face Cardiff City for a crucial Premier League fixture today.
Charged with the immense responsibility of getting the Red Devils back on the right track, Solksjaer, like every other manager will need his players to step up and take on the key responsibilities in order to make the job easier. Therefore, we highlight 4 United superstars that could play key roles under the tactician at the Old Trafford during the season:
#4 Jesse Lingard
Following the sacking of Jose Mourinho recently and the appointment of Ole Solksjaer as the interim manager, Manchester United will need some of their players to step up and play key roles under the new tactician as they aim to get things back on track, and hopefully, they will be able to count on English International, Jesse Lingard.
Following a difficult start to his Manchester United career, Lingard was able to find his feet at the Old Trafford during the previous campaign, playing a significant role and bagging a decent 8 goals and 6 assists in 33 Premier League appearances to help the Red Devils finish second on the table behind bitter rivals, Manchester City and he has also been in a good form of late.
Lingard has the ability to impress as an attacking midfielder and if United's interim manager Ole Solksjaer manages to keep him in top shape, there is no doubt he would play a huge role for the club this season.
#3 Marcus Rashford
A highly talented youngster with incredible pace and electrifying dribbling skills, capable of tearing opposition defences apart to create clear-cut chances and score wonderful goals, English winger, Marcus Rashford is also one of the few players that could play an influential role under Ole Solksjaer at Manchester United this season.
The attacker has already recorded 3 goals and 5 assists to his name in 14 Premier League appearances this season, while also finding the back of the net once in the UEFA Champions League as the Red Devils progressed into the knockout phase of the European tournament.
If properly managed, Rashford could provide the spark that the Red Devils need in attack, with his ability to bamboozle opposition defences and open up space in the offensive third - which makes him a very important asset to Ole Solksjaer's redemption journey this season.
#2 Paul Pogba
Having shown us what he is capable of doing during his time at Juventus as well as his performances for his nation in their recent FIFA World Cup triumph in Russia, there is no doubt Paul Pogba remains one of the most talented superstars in Europe right now.
Considering his efforts in the World Cup in Russia, it is evident that the Frenchman is capable of playing the role of a key man in his team, but he must work under a manager that can tap into his potentials and afford him the opportunity to express himself fully in a decent system.
If given the freedom that Manchester United's new interim manager Ole Salksjaer recently talked about during his first interview, then nothing will stop us from seeing the real Paul Pogba that we know and that will be a huge boost to the Red Devils who look forward to making amends to their shortcomings this season.
#1 Anthony Martial
Another Manchester United superstar that could play a key role under new interim manager Ole Solksjaer this season is French International, Anthony Martial - a highly talented attacker with immense pace, amazing dribbling and incredible finishing skills.
Without doubts, Martial has been the most impressive superstar in the Manchester United camp so far this season, recording a brilliant 7 goals to his name in 13 Premier League appearances for the Red Devils and it would be really wise for Ole Solksjaer to afford him the opportunity to continue with his impressive influence at the Old Trafford this term.
On his day, the Frenchman is capable of tormenting even the strongest teams in the English top flight just as we saw in his extraordinary performances against the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea this season.
