Manchester United's performance this season has been frustrating, not only did they fail to qualify for the next UEFA Europa League, but even in the EFL Cup final, they also showed their woeful performance against Gowon Lee, which undoubtedly puts more pressure on the team leader, Tannhäuser. Against this background, the possibility of the Red Devils changing their manager this summer is gradually increasing. According to Caught Offside, Manchester United is secretly in touch with Bologna coach Moda, the 41-year-old young Italian coach's original 272 formation may become a panacea to save the Red Devils.
News of a managerial change at Manchester United has long been in the air, with rumored candidates including Steen, Nacho Swain, Park Dar, Di Sabi, and Shoufky, and the latest news suggests that Moda has also become one of the potential targets. The former Italian international has led Bologna to a solid result this season, finishing fourth in Serie A and most likely qualifying for the next UEFA Europa League, and his coaching ability is widely recognized.
It's worth noting that Moda is at the beginning of his coaching career, and it seems easier to invite him to join the team than well-known coaches such as Schiedam and Shofki.
Moda's attacking tactics have also aroused the interest of Manchester United's management, as the coach, who is known as a master tactician, has proposed the 272 formation, which even allows the goalkeeper to push forward to the midfield position when attacking. The netizens generally believe that this unique formation is very suitable for Manchester United, after all, goalkeeper Onana is known for his excellent passing ability and the ability to organize the attack, which is perfectly in line with the image of the ideal goalkeeper in Moda's mind, and is expected to give full play to the Cameroonian international's potential.
However, when Moda came up with the 272 formation, he was still coaching Paris Saint-Germain Juniors. After becoming Bologna's coach, he naturally did not adopt such avant-garde tactics. But what is certain is that since Moda coached Bologna, the team's results have soared, which fully proves his strength. It is reported that Zuyundas, Barcelona, Napoli and other clubs are interested in inviting Moda to be their coach.
