Usain Bolt has had his say on all things Manchester United as he has given his thoughts on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Fred, Bruno Fernandes and more.
Solskjaer has now been Man United boss for over two years having took over in December 2018. He has won 75 of his 135 games in charge.
The Red Devils currently sit second in the Premier League and they are still in the running to win the Europa League and FA Cup this season.

In an interview with CNN, Bolt suggested that Solskjaer is “cool” but he is too nice to his players:
“If he changes – he’s too nice. That’s the only thing I can say, he’s too nice. He never really says anything bad about any player, even if they don’t play good.
“That’s the only thing, but if he changes and really pressures the players, you know what I mean, calls them out sometimes when they really didn’t put their all into it, then I feel like he should stay because he is cool and the fans love him.”
Bolt also gave his thoughts on Man United duo Fred and Edinson Cavani. He suggested that Fred is “lacking so much” as a midfielder:
“I think Fred should not be in the midfield. I think he is lacking so much. He works hard, but he’s lacking passing and he gives away a lot of cheap fouls in bad areas.
“We definitely need more strikers, somebody that’s really a pure striker.
“I think [Edinson] Cavani needs to play more. I definitely feel like as long as he’s fit, he should be on the field, you know what I mean, and overall I think we need to just pressure all the players. I feel like they’re so comfortable now because they know they’re going to start.
“If you’re sure of your spot, then you don’t play as hard as you should. So it’s just one of those things I feel needs to change and we’ll be fine.”
Also in the interview, the world-record holder took time to praise the “outstanding” Bruno Fernandes:
He added: “Bruno is outstanding, but it worries me to know that if Bruno doesn’t play, we look shaky, we don’t look like a football team, you know what I mean.
“He has to play every game, but I love his energy, I love he always wants to be playing, even if we’re leading by 10 he wants to be on the field and that’s how players should be; he always wants to be on the field, always wants to do well and always just push yourself to be the best version of himself.
“If he continues at this pace, I feel like maybe next season when he gets a lot more players around him, hopefully, some different strikers, he’s going to be great, because it’s going to be less pressure. You have a lot more space to roam and do more. So if he continues like this, he’s going to be outstanding.”
