Man Utd fans ‘desperate to see a sense of identity’

Here is what our Manchester United fan writer Dale O’Donnell had to say in response to questions from our Ipswich Town contributor Steve Mellen.

What are the expectations this season now Ruben Amorim is in post?

Amorim will be tasked with delivering on several fronts, but United fans are desperate to see an attractive playing style that showcases a sense of identity.

We did not know which United would show up from one week to another under Erik ten Hag, and he lost his job for not winning enough football matches.

What was the biggest issue for you under Ten Hag?

The biggest issue in my eyes was how Ten Hag came from a successful Ajax side that played great football, and when he was unable to implement that system at United, he tried to make us a transitional team heavily reliant on the counter-attack.

The Dutchman may be a shrewd tactician but he watched his midfield regularly get overrun.

With Oasis reforming do you wish it was the early ’90s again with Fergie at the helm and United churning out great teams from their own youth system?

No, because I enjoy reminiscing about those times.

The Class of ’92 is not something any other English club has been able to replicate and can only be compared to the Busby Babes of the 1950s and 1960s. Our academy still produces the best young players in the country, as seen with Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo.

As for Oasis, I hope their reformation means Manchester City go back to being rubbish.
