With only 10 points from the opening 7 matches of the season and having lost 3 of them, the pressure on Ole Solskjaer's shoulders is getting heavier. It was only somewhat cooled down by the victory over Everton last weekend. However, when he saw Pochettino still full of enthusiasm returning to the pitch, Solskjaer could not help but worry.
The British media is very good at "pouring more oil into the fire". When Manchester United's internal situation has not really had major changes, information about Solsa's replacement is still constantly appearing in the press. To put this aside and ensure maximum concentration for the team, Vice President Ed Woodward personally had to take action.
The powerful man at Old Trafford must have given him a little bit of a face when looking at the club's financial reports in the past few months, especially in the context of the entire global football community struggling with COVID-19. The Red Devils are fine and that is an excuse for Ed to continue supporting Solskjaer's current form.
M.U's recent contracts do not require much budget. 40 million euros for Van de Beek is not much, and Cavani is free. That way of buying and selling seems reasonable in the eyes of economists like Ed Woodward and the Glazers.
"While the COVID-19 pandemic is still creating negative impacts, Manchester United are optimistic about a significant recovery in the near term.
The team's adaptability and correct business and commercial plans continue to bring a solid foundation to Manchester United. We believe we will return stronger in the coming time both on and off the pitch.
It is not easy to say this when looking around, many Premier League teams are having financial difficulties. The tournament organizers are responsible for supporting the teams, but that amount is only a small part.
On the pitch, the whole team is working hard to create consistency in the long term. We are absolutely committed to the path Ole Solskjaer is taking so that everyone can continue to develop.
Currently, Manchester United is actively working with the authorities to welcome the audience back to the stadium soon. It's been a long time since we've played under their supports," Ed Woodward said.
Although facing a disadvantage in terms of expertise, it cannot be denied that the policy of using "home chickens" is helping M.U cope well with the current crisis. If newcomers like Cavani or Van de Beek shine in the next phase, Ole will be considered "saved".
However, with negative results still coming, will the "Red Devils" still love Ole Solskjaer as much as they have now? Don't let things get too far away. At that time, no amount of money can be recovered.
