Pogba: Manchester United 'Need To Change Something' After Losing At Leicester by teekitiara(f): 8:17pm On Oct 16, 2021
Leicester ended their opponents' 29-game unbeaten run away from home to increase the pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer; Paul Pogba says: "We need to find something, we need to change something"

Manchester United's Paul Pogba suggested that his side lack maturity and experience as they were beaten 4-2 in the Premier League at Leicester.

Paul Pogba has declared something needs to change at Manchester United following their 4-2 Premier League defeat to Leicester City.

The Frenchman played the entirety of United's latest defeat that ended their 29-game unbeaten run away from home.

The defeat leaves Ole Gunnar Solskjaer under further scrutiny as United's own winless run extends to three games as they continue to look less than the sum of their expensive parts.

"To be honest, we've been having this kind of game for a long time and we haven't found the problem," Pogba said.

"We need to find what's the problem, to concede easy goals, stupid goals, when we know those games where we play on this pitch, the fans are going to push, put pressure on us and everything. We need to be more mature, I think. We need to play with more experience, arrogance in a good way. We have to take the ball and play our football.

"But now we have to find what's the key of these games that we lose. Because I think we deserved to lose today.

"We need to find something, we need to change something. I don't know if the mindset of all of us, the players, when we start... we really don't know. It's frustrating because it's something we don't understand and we have to find that very fast because if you want to compete and you want to win the title, those games you have to win, even though they are very hard and we're playing away.

"You need to fight their game, you need to find the right mentality, the right tactic to win those games. That's my thought. We have time to think about it and then all together, we have to stick together and find the problem."

Ole: I made bad decisions
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted that he "probably made a couple of bad decisions" with his team selection
Harry Maguire made a surprise return against his former club after recovering from injury, while Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the line-up after being rested against Everton. Yet it was the central midfield area where Manchester United struggled as Pogba and Nemanja Matic were badly overrun at times.

Solskjaer admitted he made errors with the way his team set up.

"The four goals we conceded were very poor," he told Sky Sports.

"When you concede goals like that in the way we did, we don't deserve to continue that run. Definitely the performance was very below-par and not good enough. We got a very good goal with Mason and we were knocking on the door to get another one; sloppy play and we concede a goal.

"In the second half, it was end-to-end but they created more chances and conceding at set-pieces was disappointing. Conceding seconds after the equaliser shouldn't happen. I picked the team; Harry showed no reaction. I hold my hand up if it doesn't work out and sometimes it doesn't.

"When you concede four, I probably made a couple of bad decisions."

Merse: Solskjaer in a spot of bother
Paul Merson speaking on Soccer Saturday:

"I think Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is in a spot of bother.

"I said before the game if that he can get through November still in the job, then they would have every chance of winning the league because they have some shocking fixtures - and this was the start of it and they have been beaten.

"Leicester thoroughly deserved it too.

"Manchester United are struggling. I've said that Arsenal could finish above them in the top four and I haven't changed my mind.

"They are individuals, they are not a team. They haven't got legs all around the pitch and because Ronaldo can't go in behind defences, the other teams are all pushing up on them and that means Pogba doesn't get time on the ball. For me, Solskjaer is under severe pressure."

Manchester United's gruelling run
Manchester United face a formidable set of fixtures in October and November as they look to keep pace in the Premier League and ensure Champions League qualification, with Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and the Manchester derby looming domestically.

It took some piece of luck for greenwood n rashford to score dose goals for united
united did nothing in d aspect of controlling d game, it looked asif united started d game with some men down bcox d likes of Pogba, fernandez n even cr7 went missing all day..
av said it countless times dt cr7 av to get more involved in games than waiting for tap ins bt wat do i know??
I pray dt united next line of wicked fixtures would open the fans eyes so dey will see n understand d main reason why juve had to discard cr7
that game was so interesting n I enjoyed d last 20 mins, it was soo electrifying

We all know the problem this team is facing. Who so ever says we don’t deserve another coach is part of the problem we are facing in this country. We all know this coach doesn’t have tactics and you are still supporting him. We all know maguire is not a professional footballer who has no confidence on ball and He keeps playing him.please sack ole and bring another coach to this club

The only change is to bench the old fraud and allow Cavani start. ManUtd did 29 unbeaten streak, the old fraud came and ended it.

The number one problem of manchester united at the moment na the coach and his staffs, good coach suppose know how to get the best out of him players.
Lampard almost carry chelsea go relegation, but look wetin tuchel dey use same squad achieve....
I have always been a fan of ole since his playing days but i think he should be sacked come January.
During fergie's era, u nor fit make blunder & still remain in the team, for months u nor go smell the first team. Maguire go play rubbish, next match u go see am for starting lineup, fred go give ball away 10 times for one match yet he go start the next game.

The manager is mediocre that's why he dey accept mediocrity in his team.

pogba fernandez n cr7 were d worst players on d pitch during dt Leicester game..
just few days ago they were the best players in their respective pitches... Ronaldo got a hat trick, Fernandes raked in two assists and Pogba lifted a trophy in his previous game.

In professional football, if great players don't perform blame the coach.

Man u hv a fantastic squad , but a bad coach... giving an inexperienced rookie thats not a dominating driver a ferrari to drive to win u a race is total crap... take this same ole to Liverpool, City or Chelsea and these teams will start to struggle... look at pep, tuchel and klopp on the bench... do u see how aggressive they are towards the game play, the players, the officials... this ole just sits and smiles ....even as a player bk then , he was just a quiet sub player that never complained about being constant on the bench despite raking in goals whenever he was subbed in ... he never challenged wanting to b a starter ....he was satisfied coming from the bench....
