Solskjaer or Carrick Comeback, Manchester United Gets an Injection of Energy Ahead of the Derby

Gilabola.com – Whoever returns to manage Manchester United, whether Ole Gunnar Solskjaer or Michael Carrick, will get a big injection for the derby match against Manchester City.

The injection of strength came in the form of Bryan Mbeumo’s return from the Africa Cup of Nations after Cameroon were eliminated in the quarter-finals, and the striker’s return will certainly provide a boost for the new coach.

Club management is scheduled to meet Solskjaer through CEO Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox. This meeting is part of the process to determine who will be trusted to lead until the end of the season as the taker.

Of course Asja Solskjaer is worth considering because he has a long record at this club, from being a player, interim coach, to becoming a permanent coach, then being fired.

Apart from the Norwegian tactician, Manchester United is also considering another club legend, Carrick, who is considered to have tactical continuity and transition experience within the club environment.

But, whoever is ultimately chosen to be interim coach, he will at least get a big boost with Bryan Mbeumo’s return from national duty at the Africa Cup of Nations.

The Impact of Mbeumo’s Return

It could be said that of all the three new strikers brought in during the last summer transfer window, Bryan Mbeumo is the player who has so far had the most success and made an immediate impact.

Arriving as a recruit from Brentford in a transfer deal of around IDR 1.5 trillion, Mbeumo immediately settled in with his new colleagues at Manchester United, scoring seven goals and one assist so far.

His contribution in the first half of the season reinforced the belief that the huge investment had been right on target, so when he went to the Africa Cup of Nations with Cameroon, United felt a real sense of loss.

With Cameroon having now been eliminated in the quarter-finals, losing to fellow Manchester United player Noussair Mazraoui of Morocco, Mbeumo can now return home early to Old Trafford.

It is estimated that the 26 year old player could be available for United’s next match in the Manchester derby against City in the Premier League match next week.

On the other hand, Mazraoui, who continues to progress with Morocco, is not expected to be available for next week, while there is hope that Amad Diallo will also be available for the derby as Ivory Coast have also been knocked out.

Our opinion

Of course, whether Solskjaer or Carrick will be trusted as the playing coach, he will be given a big boost going into the derby with the return of Mbeumo, and perhaps even Amad too. This is a big, difficult and prestigious match, so every additional player can have a big impact on the team.
