Former Chelsea forward Tony Cascarino has suggested Manchester United should replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with Marcelo Bielsa after their defeat against Crystal Palace.
United were comfortably beaten by Crystal Palace in a game marred by VAR controversy, although the 3-1 scoreline was a fair reflection of a poor performance.
Defeat in their opening Premier League match of the season has only further intensified pressure on Ed Woodward to add new recruits to United's squad, with Liverpool spending big over the weekend too.
Chelsea have also flexed their financial muscle this summer but despite United's obvious need for reinforcement, Cascarino has suggested a change in the dugout could be needed too.
Only two games into his debut Premier League campaign, he believes that Leeds United boss Bielsa should be considered to take the reigns at Old Trafford due to his high-octane football philosophy.
“I think Solskjaer got a lot wrong yesterday because he should have made changes a lot earlier," he told talkSPORT.
“There was no urgency. “I was watching Leeds in the earlier game, and then watching Man United at 5:30pm and I was thinking, ‘maybe United do need something different’.
“Not players, but maybe they need Bielsa.
"Leeds are sure to excite in the Premier League this season having scored seven goals in their first two matches – and also conceded seven!
“I’m looking at Man United and thinking they do the exact opposite of what Leeds do – they don’t take risks.
“When Ole gets it right – and he has got it right in a good few games – they are offensive and attacking and dangerous from many parts of the team.
“But yesterday they were laboured, sloppy and never had anything which represents Manchester United.”
