Manchester United have endured a roller coaster season this year. It started with the uninspired performances of the team under Jose at the beginning of the season . The reds just scraped past Leicester in the opening gaming before losing away at Brighton and home to Spurs. A run of three draws on the bounce against Southampton . Arsenal and Palace did little to lift the spirits of the fans in early December.

In mid-December Mourinho’s men suffered a heavy defeat away at Anfield(3-1) the result proved to be final straw for the board. United legend Ole Solskjaer replaced Jose and immediately results picked up . A big win away at Cardiff seem to signal a new era at Manchester United; the team was impressive in a thumping 5-1 victory just three days before Christmas.

The good results continued into 2019, However , United lost to Everton badly in April, and this result was followed by a 0-2 defeat at home to Manchester City. The next league game saw United once again held at home, this time by Chelsea. Nevertheless , another terrible performance and a humiliating 0-2 defeat by Cardiff at Old Trafford will have given Ole much food for thought. Can he continue with a core of players, who at times , don’t seem to care enough ? I would scratch off the names below from the teamsheet before pre-season training begins.

Alex Sanchez

The 30 year old Chilean has played 32 times PL for United , but only found the back of the net on three occasions! Alex reportedly on a $350,000-per-week contract , he’s showing nothing in his time at the club to justify that salary; his overblown wages are also have destabilizing effect on the dressing room. He should be the first player out the door over the summer.

Phil Jones

Jones has been with the club since 2011, signing for Alex Ferguson, the early promise shown by Jones has never materialized , despite being given opportunities to progress by every manager who has been at the club since Fergie retired. He’s now more famous for his facial contortions than his defensive abilities .I think he should follow the Sanchez out the door.

Romelu Lukaku

In an era where football is about speed and skill, Lukaku lacks either of these qualities . His body shape suggests he’s looking for a career in the ‘Worlds Strongest Man’ competition when his footballing days are over- which could be sooner than he thinks, I’d like to see him out the door with the rest , but will he fit through the door frame ?

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
