Man United Looks Like Holiday Camp, Says Redknapp

Man United Looks Like Holiday Camp, Says Redknapp

Former English footballer and pundit Jamie Redknapp has posited that Manchester United is 'like a holiday camp' and head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer does not have the fear factor to force players to improve.

The Red Devils’ start to the 2021/2022 season has been nothing but appalling and Redknapp blames nobody but Solskjaer, who he thinks is not a martinet.

Manchester United sit seventh on the Premier League table eight points behind leaders Chelsea despite spending heavily to bring in Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho in the summer.

The likes of Antonio Conte and Zinedine Zidane have all been tipped to replace Solskjaer, who is under intense pressure, but the board have given him until the end of the season to turn things around per reports in the media.

"When you look at Man Utd now as a team and an organization, the defeat to Liverpool didn't surprise me at all," Redknapp told the Essential Football Podcast.

"Obviously the scoreline was something you wouldn't predict before the game, but I didn't expect anything other than a Liverpool win.

“When you look at the two sides, one is an organized, well-oiled machine and the other is a team full of quality players and individuals, but I don't think they've got a structure or organization in place and it doesn't feel like they're playing for each other right now.

"The players are playing too individually, not collectively, and I do think that comes down a lot to the manager.

"It's a situation right now at Man Utd where players look like they're not taking information on board, and it certainly isn't working.

“I know there's talk about giving Ole more time but I don't know how you can say 'we're going to give a manager until the end of the season' when right now you can see everything is unravelling.

"I've been in dressing rooms before when things aren't working for the manager and that's what it looks like to me.

“It looks like that dressing room, in the kindest way, it feels like it would be a bit of a holiday camp. I can't imagine Solskjaer is going in there pointing his finger telling players what they've got to do.

"Everything just seems too nice. Players are getting away with things and that's a recipe for disaster in football.

"They've bought themselves a bit of time but if they lose against Tottenham and then lose a couple more games, I'm sorry, but he can't stay.

"It's difficult because it's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, of course he's a well-respected figure at the club. I said two years ago, it's going to be like shooting Bambi. But you have to sometimes look at what's best for the team. “Even he will look at it and go, 'I can't keep my job under these circumstances'. The club have spent an enormous amount of money since he's been there, they've brought in great players and now they still look miles off."
