5 ways in which Solskjaer can get Manchester United back to winning ways

#2 Stick to his counter attacking tactics

Manchester United v Everton FC - Premier League

Everything good that Solskjaer achieved in his short time at the helm of the Manchester United team was achieved by playing fast, fluid, counter attacking football. United relied on compact defending and speedy movement of the ball to affect their games.

When the opposition pressed them, they stayed true to their shape at the back. When the spaces opened up, they hit the opposition with the speed and precision of their forward players. This was a tactic that was embedded in the roots of United, as all great teams of old were built in this platform.

However, the team has not been effective in their counter attacking play in the past two games. It could be the lack of match fitness of their players, but United did not look threatening in the counter and it cost them both games. The build up was slow, there were miss-passes and the final ball was missing.

Solskjaer needs to ensure that his midfield stays creative and that his front runners stay fluid. Only then can United get back to winning ways.
