After finishing another season without any trophies, Manchester United are clearly determined to win have a better season. The Red Devils have already made some key decisions before the start of next season.
After adding young English forward Jadon Sancho, the Red Devils pulled off yet another key move as they extended the contract of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Their off-season certainly has got off to a promising start but the same cannot be said about their pre-season games.

Manchester United suffer from disappointing pre-season loss
Starting off their pre-season with a draw and a win against Villareal and Derby County respectively, the ‘Red Devils’ played their third pre-season game tonight. Given how high the spirits were after OGS’ contract renewal, United were expected to put on a show against QPR.
The pre-season game certainly got off to a perfect start as Jesse Lingard opened the scoring in 3rd minute. But the hosts made an instant comeback as they equalled the scoreline in the 7th minute with Charlie Austin. After a scoreline of 1-1 at the end of the first half, OPR took control of the game as they scored 3 more goals by the 60th minute.
It was too little too late for United to make a comeback as they scored in the 73rd minute. QPR ultimately upset the ‘Red Devils’ as they won the game 4-2. This loss was certainly not the way United might have wanted to celebrate the re-signing of Ole. But the ‘Red Devils’ won’t be disheartened with their performance given that many of their young players played this game.
Perhaps the biggest plus for the United side was seeing Jesse Lingard continuing his electrifying the form. With yet another goal, ‘J-Lingz’ might become a mainstay in the United roster for the upcoming season.
The 44-year-old has been pretty rigid with his team selections in the past. Given the number of young players the United manager has at his disposal, it will be interesting to see whether Ole gives playing time any of the young players. Can Manchester United improve on their season and win the premier league next season?
