There's an ongoing culture war at Manchester United and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will need to solve it if he really is to become a long-term success at the club he so deeply loves.
It might be cliche, but there really is no United without unity, now the manager needs to solve one of his biggest problems if he is make the most of the opportunity which presents itself to him.
The weekend draw against West Brom felt like defeat and for many fans it took United back to square one as defensive frailties and lacklustre creativity once again saw Solskjaer's side come unstuck against one of the worst teams in the Premier League.
"You're not going to come here and create 10 chances against West Brom," club captain Harry Maguire told Sky Sports after a hard-fought draw. As was quickly pointed out on social media, every team who played West Brom between 8 November and 2 February did just that.
There was also divide over who to blame. Did it fall on Solskjaer's cautionary tactical approach? Individual errors in defence? A lack of creativity in attack? Or perhaps it was simply one of those off days which every top side experiences.
One argument amongst fans is that United would be level on points with Man City had they won recent matches against Sheffield United, Everton and West Brom. The harsh reality is they didn't.
United's fall away from the Premier League title race always seemed inevitable as long as they failed to resolve such reoccurring issues in their first-team squad.
Solskjaer still needs specialist options in attack, on the right wing and at centre-back, as well as a new system of play which makes his side just as dangerous when Paul Pogba isn't available for selection.
However, there is one immediate change which can be made that wouldn't cost a penny - Dean Henderson.
The 23-year-old goalkeeper has been suffocated of opportunity in what should be his breakthrough season at Old Trafford, restricted to just 10 starts across all competitions, with only two of those coming in the Premier League.
After a sensational loan spell with Sheffield United there was always going to be a question mark over his role this campaign as he built upon a solitary season in the English top-flight and made the giant leap to United.
The struggles of Chris Wilder's side this season perhaps amplify what a great job Henderson did at Bramall Lanes as the Blades have dramatically dropped from European hopefuls to relegation certainties in only a matter of months.
Despite his enormous potential there has been minimal game time for Henderson this season and little chance for him to genuinely showcase his talents with a lengthy run in the starting XI.
It is understandable why Solskjaer has such faith in David de Gea, but now it is time for him to blindly put his into Henderson, just as Sir Alex Ferguson did when choosing his No.1 back in 2011.
"All keepers make mistakes once in a while and none of us like it when we do. I have every intention of spending many years here at Manchester United. I want to become a great United keeper and I want to earn and deserve the respect I hope to get."
You'd be mistaken for thinking that quote was from Henderson, the self-assured Cumbrian who has no doubts about his long-term suitability for the starting spot. In fact, it was from De Gea as he looked to put a tricky start to life at United behind him after his transfer from Atletico Madrid.
Despite a difficult first season Ferguson stuck by the Spanaird through both thick and thin, and took plenty of criticism for it.
Pundits wrote him off time and time again - but ten years on and it is safe to say the faith has been repaid.
Yet there can be no ignoring the decline of De Gea, who despite still making world-class saves, still suffers from a weakness in the air and visible discomfort whenever the ball is at his feet.
Whether or not Henderson does get his chance now United will have to replace the 30-year-old in the coming years, it certainly makes sense to try before they buy and see whether their back-up 'keeper really does have what it takes.
The recent drop off in form should be the perfect opportunity for such a change at Old Trafford as Solskjaer looks to continue his cultural reset by switching to a shot-stopper more suited to both the modern game and the club's new tactical approach.
If promises aren't fulfilled then nobody will blame Henderson if he pushes for a transfer at the end of the season.
It might turn out he was never the right fit for United, but it would hurt a lot more knowing he was never given the chance to prove it.
