Manchester united is considered one of the giants in English Premier League from a while ago. But their current form is indicating something else. Though they had a decent transfer window, but their team is somewhat lack of balance a team needed. They have quality defender like Varane, got speedy and prolific winger like Sancho and an apex predator like Ronaldo in the attack. But their team does not seem synced. Their team lacks sharpening their chemistry which should be built by now. Now, lets’ have a look where they are lacking

Midfield control lacking (For more Manchester United news, download the Footylight app. Also available on iOS and Android)

United have bolstered their defence and attack but the area in between remains a major weakness. It is four months since Roy Keane delivered his brutal verdict on Fred and Scott McTominay – “as long as them two are playing in midfield for Manchester United, they will not be winning big trophies,” he said – but few argued with him then and nor would they now. That lack of control stemmed from midfield, where Fred and McTominay offered neither defensive security nor attacking impetus.

In fact, they were largely bypassed altogether – both by Villa, who carved through them with ease on several occasions, and their own team-mates, who frequently looked towards the flanks instead. Paul Pogba could be moved back into a deeper role but for all his undoubted talent, questions remain over whether he has the tactical discipline to operate in a midfield two against top opposition. United’s only other options in the position are an ageing Nemanja Matic and an out-of-favour Donny van de Beek.

Aimless Attack

A lack of cohesion is causing problems in attack as well as midfield.

Ronaldo’s return thrilled supporters, his immediate impact adding to the sense of optimism around the club, but there remains a lack of clarity around United’s playing style and approach. Solskjaer can of course point to a goal total second only to Liverpool’s in the Premier League this season but United’s most recent performances are perhaps more indicative of the reality.

Worrying Defense (For more Manchester United news, download the Footylight app. Also available on iOS and Android)

If it hadn’t been for the outstanding heroics of David de Gea in goal, the Foxes would have been out of sight before the clock hit 80 minutes.

United were poor from front to back and again left relying on individual brilliance to keep them in the match.

They were the masters of their own downfall, with constant errors presenting their hosts with one chance after another.

Two of the Leicester City’s goals came from set-pieces, a common problem for Solskjaer’s side, and their first came from a dreadful attempt to play out from the back from the lackadaisical Harry Maguire. The Manchester United captain arguably shouldn’t have been on the pitch. He looked rusty having been rushed back from a calf injury with just one full training session under his belt, and it showed.
