This post and topic shall be on the start of the first page. If i post on page 3,4 or 5. It might be harder to find the post. So this issues and topics are key factors of the main topic. United team building. Develop and improve United to become a better team. Closer and closer to win the league and be a more conistent top teams in premier league like City, Arsenal and Liverpool.
Second, i want to introduce myself a bit. Like most peoples knows me. I am scouting. But i do analysing the qualties and abilities of a football team too.
You can call me a football version of a car mechanic. That is what we are going to do in this post.
You as a team. Send me your car "Manchester United " to me at a car workshop, where we are fixing cars. Ask a car fixer to find the problems and what are wrong with yours cars.
Analyse and find the problems. Find solutions to fix, solve and improve it = so it will work better as whole = improve the performance of the car and team.
And i am a honest, direct and trustworthy car mechanic and car fixer. It is mine field, road and expertise. So we will improve your car and team.
Now. Let us start to find the problems and weakness of Manchester United as a team:
+ Defend players and defensively you can always be more tight, more conistent solid. And your CBs are missing the top accelerationa and top speed in the first metres. It might be solve and improve with Leny Yoro coming back from injury. But no of De Ligt, Maguire, Evans and Martinez are really good in the first metres. With top explosivess. Example if you come up with really explosivess CF and attacking players. Yours CBs might be struggle.
And having a quick Manuel Ugarte in the first metres in front of your back line might help some. But he having play much. So Ugarte is still a question.
The biggest weakness in the defend is the left back position. Dalot is a good left back. Back up for Shaw and Malacia. But this is problem and position United can improve a lot. Why? I will come back to it later when i am talking about Ten Hag ex Ajax players.
+ The lacking of scoring goals and conistent goalscorer are United biggest problems.
In 7 league games. United only have scored 5 goals. Not average 1 goal each match. For a team like United that are aiming to become a consistent top teams again. United need more and more consistent goalscorer and assist players, in the team. The main main reason why United are there on the table now.
United are struggling to score enough goals to win matches and to get 3 points.
This is here i want to bring in the other topic. Which is : Which of Ten Hag's peak Ajax players should he got. I mean peak, not the versions of those players now. It's like we have figured out and find the problems of United team now. Which are solutions to solve those problems.
And if Ten Hag have those players, at theirs peak. Because our goal to become a top consistent team. We need top quality and ingredients = at theirs peak.
+ And those are the ex Ajax's players Ten Hag and United shall have:

Klaas Huntelaar: 16 goals 4 assists
Tagliafico : 2 goals 4 assists
Donny VD Beek: 9 goals 10 assists
Frenkie De Jong: 3 goals 3 assists
Kasper Dolberg: 11 goals 2 assists
----------------------------------------------------------
7 players = 85 goals 49 assists
So what did those goals thats telling us?
It is telling us that all of Ten Hag and Ajax editions had conistent goalscorer and assist top server in the teams------> it lead to Ten Hag and Ajax success. Reasons why Ajax car was working so well. And reasons why Manchester United hired and appointed Ten Hag as Head coach.
Just look at Dusan Tadic stats. Tadic might be more important than Frenkie De Jong for Ajax. Tadic in 5 seasons in a row. Had average 10 goals and over 15 assist. And that man are still delivering those numbers for Fenerbache, at the age of 15. We are talking about true quality. When it come to create goals and scoring goals. On a top conistent level.
But in the others hands. Dusan Tadic did had top service and sharp teammates and finisher too. Like De Bruyne have Haaland. To helped theirs assist numbers. So those things goes hand in hand.
+ Now where and how do i put those ex peak Ajax players in United current team and XI line up. Still in Ten Hag and United prefer and most use formation.
4231 formation, potential line up:
Dalot/Mazza - Yoro/Maguire/De Ligt - Martinez/De Ligt/Evans - Taglifico/Shaw/Malacia
Ziyech - Frenkie De Jong - Mainoo - Tadic/Rashford/Garnacho + Bruno/Tadic + Haller/Højlund
There you have. United don't only conistent sharp goalscorer and finisher. But top conistent service and assist players too.
+ Sum up. What United need to fix to improve as a team? So the team performance and become a lot better
+ A left foot wing back. That back the LW players more. Come into the cm area lesser. Back the LW players to create overlap and 2 against 1 more. To passes opponents sideback more easily to deliver consistent top crossers and passes from the left side.
So a peak offensive left wing back like Tagliafico would helped United a lot. In the build up. A fully fit Luke Shaw over a long period will solve this problem too and improve the team build up of the attacks.
+ A controlling ball playing CM. A player and guy that bind the defend and attack as a team and unit. Without this kind of player. Every team will struggle to become a consistent top team. A CM commander and general. The mind and brain of the team.
I have recognized that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is aiming United to become a dominant team in the future, on a conistent level. Then the team need a conistent dominant playmaker and ball playing CM.
Because counter attack football and line up. Do not synonymous with how a dominant shall be. Dominant with the ball = Having the ball most of the time on the pitch.
+ Having top and consistent attacking players like Dusan Tadic. Someone you can rely on. Someone you know will deliver, conistently. Lacking of a top RW like Hakim Ziyech. A Mahrez and Cole Palmer type of RW. A top RW that have top level of goalscoring and assist ability
+ A a top and sharp CF that deliver average 20 goals a season
That are the problems and what United need to fix. To improve as a team. More consistent top players. Mentioned Ajax ex peak players under Ten Hag as example. Mahrez and Palmer as a top RW options. Because honestly United attacking players and RW are not conistent enough. And with a CBs and CM that are changing a lot. It might not help too.
Now. Instead of those peak ex Ajax players. United football teams and staff can find alternative and others options players and quality. Others top components and ingredients to put into the team. A LB, A controlling CM, A top RW, A more conistent LW and a sharper CF.
That are from mine analysing of United a team so far.
Of course. The decisions of the manager/Ten Hag does play big part of the team performances. But United are lacking and have many weakness in the team.
Trust me. I am car fixer and a football team fixer. Those are United problems and weakness.
In the end. United do have a really sharp winger in the club and academy. In Shea Lacey. But he is might 2-3 years to young. Maybe not fully physical develop yet. If Lacey get faster, stronger and can finish and score like he has done it in the acedemy and youth team. Bring those goals on the highest stage of football. United i think can have a solution there. Internal solution.
So good luck to United to find the component and top consistent ingredients to solve, fix the problems and improve your weakness, as a team. By for now.
