Manchester United must still work hard in order to turn into a force that can duel and excel in matches against big teams. Despite the fact they have been in a position to earn victories in games against other small teams, the outcome has not been good enough to build confidence and stand in the leagues. The next matches in September will be very important to determine whether or not they can change their ranking. Some people argue that the current manager has failed to provide positive changes as expected, hence the need to employ a manager capable of bringing profound changes to the team and meet the expectations of the fans.
Whether or not Manchester United have improved their performance can be seen on days when Manchester United do well against their equal or stronger teams. It is easy to win against the team that is at the bottom of the points table but it is definitely difficult for Manchester United to win against the teams that are on the same level. If their plan is to only win against the bottom of the points table then they won't be in a good position in the points table at all. They must win against their equal teams and also play against the bigger teams for at least one point. If Manchester United plan this way and if they are successful then we will assume they have changed their plan and they have improved their performance.
