Overcome yourself
In more than 2 years leading Manchester United, Solskjaer has never reached the semi-finals of cup tournaments. In theory, M.U is improving its performance under the reign of the Norwegian coach.
Reaching the final is partly a concern, the way the "Red Devils" play is a concern. No longer playing as a lower-back or focusing on defense, Man United in this year's Europa League plays at the feet of all opponents since the round of 16.
Coming to the continental arena with the mindset of doing things over and over again after Mourinho's chaos, in the past 2 years, Solsa has done something that no other coach has done, which is to stabilize M.U internally. When they have stabilized, their results are improving every season.
Mourinho once said that his greatest success at Old Trafford was not the Europa League title in 2017, which was to help M.U finish second in the Man City championship season and reach the 100 point mark. The Premier League is getting harsher and this year, M.U have only lost to the mighty Man City.
Speaking after the loss to Villarreal, Solskjaer said he did not consider this a successful season for the team. However, what has been left behind after this season is not considered a failure. Manchester United did very well.
The road ahead is very long
It has been a long time since the Sir Alex era that Manchester United have found a real star like Bruno Fernandes. With the conductor in hand to lead the team, Solsa gradually raised the level of the remaining positions.
The Shaw and Wan-Bissaka wings are getting better and better, reaching continental level. Maguire's support is so solid that if the "Red Devils" lack this central defender, they will struggle. Up front, Pogba, after many years of struggling at Old Trafford, finally found his own position to shine.
Rashford and Greenwood are getting older and more mature, paired by experienced "scoring machine" Cavani. In general, Man United is having a stable squad and each line has good players. In goal, the story of De Gea and Henderson is no longer too important when everything is good.
A new season is about to come and the investments are about to be handed over by the owners, Ole should be patient and wait for the opportunity. His former teacher, Sir Alex Ferguson, attended the entire match and gave the rear class a standing ovation.
In the past, when he first arrived at Old Trafford, Sir Alex's situation was much worse than Solskjaer's current one. Therefore, M.U in general and Solsa in particular should not be sad about this result.
After EURO 2020, promising things will be revealed at Old Trafford. New stars will come, combined with the current stability to make M.U stronger and stronger. The day to regain his position is not far away, that is for sure.
