Premier League 18/19: Everton 4-0 Manchester United - 5 talking points

#1 What next for Solskjaer and his players?

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

In the build-up to the game, Solskjaer stated that some of his United players need a reality check and their disastrous showing at Merseyside only proved the complacent, carefree and casual nature of some of the United players.

Anthony Martial provided little to nothing in his attacking output and missed a glorious chance in the second half that pretty much summed up his evening. Nemanja Matic’s regression continued as he let Gylfi Sigurdsson get past him quite easily and wasn’t quick to put the Icelander under any pressure. Diogo Dalot did not enjoy a fine game in the left back spot and struggled like most of his teammates.

With a Manchester derby on Wednesday and a crucial game against Chelsea next Sunday, it will be interesting to watch if Solskajer decides to ring the changes ahead of these blockbuster games. There are a number of highly talented youngsters in the academy that warrant a chance and it remains to be seen how long Solsjaer persists with his under-performing stars.

For now, the United players will have a perfect opportunity to endear themselves to the United faithful after this horror show by trying to pull off a victory against their noisy neighbours at Old Trafford.
