Things started to go wrong at United soon after Solskjaer put pen to paper on a permanent deal

A dreadful campaign was brought to a close with a 1-1 draw at Huddersfield, followed by a dismal 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford by relegated Cardiff Cityon the final day, which only brought more criticism on the players, as they finished sixth – 32 points behind champions and rivals Manchester City. Despite all of this, the club announced they have sold all of their 52,000 season tickets for the upcoming campaign, report the Daily Mail.Old Trafford holds a maximum capacity of slightly over 75,731, and it was on average 98.4 per cent full throughout 2018/19. This was the sixth highest percentage of total stadium capacity in the Premier League for last season, though United blew all other top flight clubs out the water in terms of total attendance in 2018/19, with 1,415,471 people choosing to watch a league game at Old Trafford.Getty Images - Getty2

If you took [Jurgen] Klopp or [Pep] Guardiola and got them to take over this United squad now, regardless of the different in quality between the groups of players, the United players cant play in that way. It requires a different level of fitness.Thats the way Ole wants to play but Mourinho played a different way, so their fitness levels need to go up considerably because of the style of play Solskjaer wants to bring to the team.
