Kieran McKenna and Michael Carrick are not respected by the Manchester United players​


The Manchester United team do not have complete confidence in their coaching staff, according to a new report.
Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer delegates training responsibilities almost entirely to his coaching staff, consisting principally of Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna, among others.

And the credentials and experience of these two coaches, as discussed in an article here recently, is sometimes questioned by the players, according to The Athletic.
‘Sources close to several senior players have said they feel training could be led by coaches with greater elite experience,’ the report claims.

‘McKenna’s previous experience had been coaching under-18s teams at Tottenham and then United, before Mourinho promoted him to his first-team staff.
‘The Athletic has been told his approach can, at times, be schoolmasterly. There may or may not be substance to that but these are also familiar complaints from players when results begin to turn.

‘A well-placed associate said McKenna has the potential to go on to manage a top-six Premier League club, such is his level of diligence and research when preparing. Others, though, question whether he possesses the requisite charisma.
‘Very occasionally, Solskjaer or Phelan will aggressively let rip in the dressing room, such as after the 3-2 second-leg defeat by Roma in April’s Europa League semi-final (United had won the first leg 6-2 at home) or half-time recently against Villarreal, but that is not McKenna’s personality.
‘More than one well-placed source insisted McKenna commands respect from players through the manner of his set-up but conceded that when he asks them to push past a comfort zone they might subconsciously question his pedigree.’

There is a feeling from The Athletic’s exposé that whilst the players perhaps doubt both Carrick and McKenna’s credentials, Carrick has a more amenable personality, meaning that he is more accepted than the former Tottenham academy man.
Many recent critiques of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as manager of United have referenced the coaching team he has at his disposal and whether that is the weakest aspect of his management.
Former player and coach Nicky Butt is cited as saying that Solskjaer does not micro-manage and delegates a lot.

However, ‘some sources The Athletic has spoken to feel the collegiate approach means the 48-year-old former striker is not decisive enough at some key moments.’
In other words, Solskjaer’s hands-off approach to coaching will only work if the people he has trusted to do the job deliver. Whether Carrick and McKenna are doing that is increasingly being questioned, even, it would seem, by the Manchester United players.




Hilarious stuff.

It’s all lies. Keep up the good work Ole;)

Also, I thought McKenna was a hypnotist? Can he not do some mind trick to get the players to follow orders? Look into my eyes…rag scum!

Yet Lingard turned into a world beater when he moved away temporarily but is reverting back to shite now he's back.

Turns out grass IS greener on the other side.

Saw article on Shinguard today where he is quoted….
In a candid interview with The Players Tribune, Lingard has spoken about being frozen out at Old Trafford last season.

“From that point, I couldn’t get back to where I had been. I was struggling mentally as well as physically,” he said.

“My family kept coming to games, but they couldn’t even watch me. They were like, ‘This ain’t you. This ain’t your aura.’ Games were passing me by like I wasn’t there. Like a ghost.”

Another dib dabbing delusionalist. Ive never noticed an aura around him and just maybe it’s the stench from his give away men’s perfume!

I do agree with his families observation that games pass him by.

“This ain’t your aura”???

I don’t know what it is that makes Lingard so incredibly stupid but it fucking works extremely well.
 
Lingard left his aura at West Ham. In the right team he's pretty good to be fair. I wonder if he'll end up at Newcastle.
 
Over the phones, lately, I have said things obviously over the top to cheer up my parents, and they do the same to me. Strange times need strange remedies. I would still be unable to say the word 'aura'.
