Manchester United repeated their anti-record from 30 years ago, gaining only nine points in eight starting matches.

Manchester United lost to Newcastle United, which occupied second-to-last place in the league, in the match of match day 8 of the Premier League. This defeat brought the team back to the 1989/09 season, when the Red Devils gained the same points for the same interval in the league and ended the season on the 13th place. It is noteworthy that that season the last league title of the Red Devils’ opponents Liverpool was achieved in the domestic arena.

After the lost match with Newcastle at Old Trafford, Manchester United head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer commented on the present situation in the tournament table and the reasons for defeat of his wards,

“Some players lack self-control, we did not create enough moments for a victory.

Lucky for us, there will be a break for national team matches. We have time to assess what happened during these eight matches. I hope, several players will recover from injuries. This is my responsibility. I have to put their thoughts in order. The young lads lack confidence – they need assistance of experienced personnel and staff.

They are human beings and they want to win. They need to see results of their work and there aren’t any, so it influences them.”

Man Utd have already started to understand that Solskjaer will not lead the team to progress, as during the year of his activity he has no personal style of play, capable of confronting opponents in the EPL. The Norwegian’s lack of experience is showing here, as his managerial career began from Norwegian Molde in 2015.

In this aspect, Man Utd’s style of management reminds of Dynamo Kyiv, when they invite specialists with “Dynamo heart”, who relate Valeriy Lobanovskyi’s words. Solksjaer tells Man Utd history and tries to repeat Alex Ferguson, but unsuccessfully. Therefore, until a new specialist comes to the club, who will be given freedom in transfer policy and he will be able to compete with Paul Pogba in significance, the club will incorrigibly descend to the Dynamo Kyiv level.
