The veteran manager concedes that his club have been disastrous in Europe this season and their home form needs some changing if they want to go far in the Europa League this season...
Sir Alex has admitted that Manchester United need to take a look at themselves and the manager himself needs to change his tactics around for their home fixtures in the Europa League if the club want to win the competition in question.
Sir Alex’s comments came after the mighty Red Devils were humbled at their home stadium by Athletic Bilbao as the Spanish league side ran out as eventual winners by three goals to two at Old Trafford. United now face West Bromwich
Albion at the weekend before travelling to Spain for the second leg of their round of sixteen tie against Bilbao.
It will be quite tough for United to turn their fortunes around in Spain as not even a simple 1-0 win over the Red Devils will be enough to take them to the next round. Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 will hope that his team’s firepower can work in
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 but the problems that exist in Manchester United’s defensive side of the game might be their undoing on foreign soil as well.
Sir Alex said, "We have had a bad year in Europe. We conceded three against Basel, two against Benfica, another three against Bilbao and two to Ajax. That tells its own story. Maybe it is just one of those years where we are having
to restock and assess how we should approach games at home."
Carrick also supported his manager’s view as he said, "We have been giving the opposition too many chances, which tells a tale. That is not just putting the blame on the defence; it is the team as a unit. We have to defend right
altogether. That hasn't been the case."
United will now shift their focus to West Bromwich Albion who defeated http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 last weekend in the English Premier League. It is absolutely imperative for United to win against West Brom if they want to keep face with City at the
top of the Premier League table as the Citizens lead the title race by two points at the moment.
