It is clear that Manchester United do not look like an organised team and that ultimately comes down to the coaching at the club.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should be doing better, but you could also argue that his backroom staff should be doing better. The Norwegian has surrounded himself with the likes of Mike Phelan, Michael Carrick, Darren Fletcher, and Kieran McKenna, the majority of whom have little experience coaching at this level.
Could a shake-up in that area help the fortunes of the team? Harry Redknapp has an interesting suggestion as to how that could be achieved.
Speaking on talkSPORT, the former Spurs boss said that he thinks Solskjaer should bring in Roy Keane in order to inject a bit of life into the side.
🤣 “Do you know who I’d go & bring in [to my back room staff]? Roy Keane.”
👀 “He won’t mess around! He’d sort one or two of the players out!”

It was interesting last week listening to all the pundits talk about Ole’s situation. I went with Graeme Souness, I think he needs a bit of help. I’m not saying his staff are not good lads and good, but they look to me as a very quiet group.
I know Michael Carrick very well, I love Michael, he’s a fantastic footballer and a great person and he’s got other people around him. Sometimes you can’t be afraid to think that another bit of help coming in, it will help me and help the team.
I just think he maybe needs somebody else, a different [character] alongside him in the group to help them. He looked a lonely figure last week standing on that touchline. Do you know who’d I take at Manchester United? Everyone’s going to think I’m absolutely mad...
I’d bring in Roy Keane. If I was Ole I’d think to myself, I'd think 'he won’t mess around and he’ll sort one or two out'.
Keane would certainly bring a bit of bite to a coaching staff that seems a bit too nice, but we can't see it happening anytime soon.
