Manchester United legend Andy Cole has urged club supporters to keep the fire going before turning on manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his players.
United looked out of rhythm as opened his Premier League campaign with a loss to Crystal Palace. Shortly after last weekend’s 3-1 loss, fans were quick to question the club’s transfer policy and Solskjaer’s opinion.
However, Cole has jumped to the defense of his former team, and the 1999 treble winner insisted that club fans must accept that it will take time to relive the glory days at Old Trafford.
He also suggested that the main reason for LiverpoolThe current success is the strong backing of Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.
“United may not win the Premier League title in the next few years, but that does not mean that everything is wrong at the club,” Cole told TEAMtalk.
“As a club, we are full of history, but our history does not mean that we have the right to win the Premier League anytime soon. Soccer doesn’t work like that. As a Man United fan, we have to take a step back and ask how long it has brought Liverpool to where it is now.
“You could say that it has taken them 30 years since that is how long they have had to wait to win the title and, at the same time, United He won it 13 times and also won many other trophies.
“So ask how long has it taken for this current manager to get to the position he occupies now? Five years and it shows that when a club has been through a difficult period, that United have been through for one reason and another after Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement, it takes time to get back to normal.
“I’m not saying that it will take Man United 30 years to win the title again, but there is no magic wand to solve this problem. It is difficult now because everyone wants instant results.
“Social media is so important now and that has changed the reaction to a big loss. Everyone has an opinion now and everyone has a platform to express it, which was not the case when I was playing.
“Soccer is such a stubborn thing and everyone is an expert who wants instant results. That is not always possible. “
Cole backs Manchester United stars to success
Cole suggests that the opening day loss to Palace was not evidence that this season is doomed to end in failure, as he believes players like Mason Greenwood and Marcus rashford will come in handy.
“United had long legs and in terms of their physical condition, Palace looked better, but you have to remember that it was the opening day of the season,” he added. “Mentally, all the Palace players seemed to be on point and Man United didn’t look like that.
“If we play that game in November when everyone is on the same level in terms of preparation, chances are you will get a different result, but you have to deal with that, which is what Ole is trying to do right now.
“Every game is a great game for Manchester United, that has always been the case, but now it’s even more difficult because people think they can beat them and they want to rub their noses on it.
“I really think there is the potential in this team to do something special in the future with players like Greenwood and Rashford, but that last part of my sentence speaks volumes. It will be on the way. For the next few years, probably not. That is what we need to understand. “
