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.

Bielsa was the brain behind  Leeds’ return to the Premier League last season after a sixteen year absence.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Cascarino said: “I think Solskjaer got a lot wrong yesterday because he should have made changes a lot earlier.

“There was no urgency.

“I was watching Leeds in the earlier game, and then watching Man United at 5:30pm and I was thinking, maybe United do need something different.

“Not players, but maybe they need Bielsa.

“Leeds are sure to excite in the Premier League this season having scored seven goals in their first two matches – and also conceded seven!

“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.

Would Bielsa be a good fit at United?
