Change is on the horizon at Old Trafford and events that have unfolded over the Premier League resumption have underlined that desperation. Necessity is the mother of invention. Manchester United have plenty of necessity and, yet, we have seldom seen invention.
It was supposed to be so different but, five months and two managers later, United are gearing up for the summer ready to encounter the same five problems that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needed to solve. He was unable to, though, and his successor will have to do so with potentially far less scope.
Before moving on, it has to be said that is not all down to Solskjaer. Far from it.
