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.

They are trying to set a structure that's as strong as Manchester City's and so far, there's a serious change from the board level to player, they now have extra good hands in different positions infact the introduction of Ugarte has made the midfield more solid, you can see that their new signings have contributed to the goals and assists they've had so far, so what they need is for Erik Ten Hag to implement a working strategy that would enable them play beautiful football like that of Manchester City, such that when they're not leading in a match you'll enjoy watching them play and it's a good strategy that would help them win against their equals. As for inferior teams, I think Manchester United's squad depth is now big enough to feature other players when they play against them, atleast they can now rest their key players and start their younger talents or substitute players sometimes. However a working strategy that would enable them win consistently is very important.

They have bought quality players with significant sums of money but those quality players are not doing much for their club. I think they should have recruited more capable defenders to their club this season. Every season I see a glaring weakness in their defense. This season they made a transfer and there they tried to strengthen their defense but that was not enough to fix their weaknesses. Manchester United need good quality finishers, have good quality strikers but they are not finishing well. As important as finishing is in every match, saving goals for your team is even more important. If Manchester United takes these two aspects seriously and organizes their team according to that plan, they can definitely return to consistent performance.
