The fundamental flaw of trying to adhere to some hallowed “United way” (aka like a Fergie side) is that Fergie’s greatest strength, and the very thing that made him such a GOAT manager, was his complete lack of any discernible singular ideology, and his ability to adapt and re-shape his sides consistently, according to the requirements of the era... he was a modernist, and a hugely malleable, progressive one at that...
So trying to copy some vague imagined semblance of any particular “way” is basically anathema to the very concept of the man...it’s a practical oxymoron.
The “Fergie way” in 2019, would’ve been to learn from and adapt to the prevailing trend of Pep/Klopp/Poch-style high pressing technical attacking.... he’d have hired an assistant who could help him facilitate that, and embraced the challenge of perfecting it, improving it, and finding a way of beating its proponents at their own game.
I just don’t see anything yet in Ole’s 10 or so months in charge, that demonstrates he has any solid grasp on what he wants us to do as a modern, fluid attacking side in 2019.... We’re still playing like a side whose improvising on the fly, and relying on a bit of magic to get us by.... except that we don’t have the kind of consistently magic players Ole played with under SAF, so setting our teams up to facilitate these moments, just doesn’t work... and ends up with Marcus Rojo trying a Rabona through ball on the edge of the box in the final 3rd of a 0-0 game against a made up computer generated PES side... which is frankly embarrassing!
