Too British? What's that supposed to mean :mjlol:

Shyt.

Old school vibes. Giving players to much freedom on the pitch to sort it out for themselves. It's what did Wenger in at the end. :manny: It's why Barca been a shambles the last few seasons as well.

Players want to be told what to do they effectively want to be system players. They want and need structure which they've basically had since they were 16.

One player, meanwhile, was surprised to get a call from United's chief negotiator Matt Judge to discuss whether or not to have an operation to correct an ongoing injury. Asked why Solskjaer was not the one making the call, Judge said it had been delegated because it might be a "difficult conversation."

Delegation became a key part of Solskjaer's blueprint with the 48-year-old insisting he was "a manager, not a coach."

A number of players became frustrated at the influence wielded by assistant first team coach Kieran McKenna despite his limited experience in senior football. He played a significant role in training, team selection and often gave team talks instead of Solskjaer on the evening before games. One former United defender was convinced he wasn't being picked simply because "McKenna doesn't like me."

Rashford and Bailly :russ:
