Man United Urged to Appoint Marcelo Bielsa as Manager – BasedOnNews
Man United Urged to Appoint Marcelo Bielsa as Manager – Ex Chelsea forward now turned pundit Tony Cascarino believes United should replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (OGS) with Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa.
This comes after United’s lacklustre performance in their opening game of the season which saw them lose at home to Crystal Palace.

“I’m looking at Man United and thinking they do the exact opposite of what Leeds do – they don’t take risks.”
Despite having led United to a third place finish in the Premier League last season and securing an European ticket, Solskjaer (OGS) has come under fire from various pundits over his poor tactics and style of play. There has also been talks about his managerial experience, with many of the opinion that he isn’t a good fit for United.
Bielsa meanwhile has transformed Leeds into a high-pressing team playing an exciting brand of football which has so far seen them score seven times in two fixtures back in the top flight.
