JAKARTA - Manchester United will start the new English Premier League season by hosting Leed United on Saturday, August 14 evening. In the midst of towering hope, the Red Devils had to lose four players.
Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer knows he faces reckoning at Old Trafford after failing to deliver a trophy since taking charge of the team in 2018.
The Norwegian coach received support in the transfer market by bringing in Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund and Raphael Varane from Real Madrid. However, improving from the runner-up position last season will be a big challenge.
Spending more than £100 million has temporarily eased anger directed at the club's American owners, the Glazer family, over their bid to form the European Super League and the club's lack of investment since its controversial 2005 acquisition.
United's Premier League match against Liverpool last May was postponed due to fans storming the pitch before kick-off at a time when they were still barred from entering the stadium due to coronavirus-related restrictions.
With those restrictions now being relaxed, Saturday's Old Trafford will be full of 76,000 spectators for the first time in 17 months when they hosted Leeds.
However, a visit from Leeds on the opening day also ensures that Solskjaer's managerial career will not be passed easily.
The reason, they had to lose four players for various reasons. Edinson Cavani is still on summer break after appearing in the 2021 Copa America with Uruguay, Alex Telles is still injured, Jesse Lingard is exposed to COVID-19 and Marcus Rashford is recovering from shoulder surgery.
