Manchester United: 5 things Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must do to get the team back to winning ways

#3 Demand better work ethics

Fulham FC v Manchester United - Premier League

Solskjaer, in his post-match press conference after the Everton defeat, already highlighted United's poor work ethics on the field as one of the reasons for the loss. In truth, United have looked tired and slow on the field of late and it has been one of the reasons for their dismal run.

One of the main changes the Norwegian made to the United team was to increase the intensity on the field. Solskjaer's boys fought for every ball and closed down every gap that came up in the midfield. The opposition had a tough time coping up with United's work ethics and it was one of the main reasons why United were on the rise at the start of the year.

However, that intensity has died out of late. The work ethics are gone and players are beginning to look extremely slow on the field. And this is where Solskjaer has to prove his worth. It is important that United rediscover their pressing football immediately and the Norwegian has to help his team replicate the attitude of the United teams of old.

Off the ball pressing and closing down in the midfield will be key to United returning to winning ways in the next four games.
