Dyche: It could take a while for United to get back on perch
BURNLEY manager Sean Dyche has warned Manchester United there is no shortcut to sustained success, pointing out that Liverpool’s resurgence has taken place over several years.
United, the dominant English side in the Premier League under Sir Alex Ferguson, are a whopping 30 points adrift of this season’s runaway leaders Liverpool after losing to their fierce rivals at Anfield last weekend.
There has been some scrutiny of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s position in recent weeks, with United five points adrift of the top four, and Dyche will take Burnley to Old Trafford on Wednesday hoping to heap more misery on the Norwegian.
Dyche said: “Even with the badge and financial power,
it does take time to remould things and get a unit that can be successful.
“With Liverpool, it’s taken them three, four, five years to get that to where it is now, it has taken time.
“Liverpool have managed to allow that period for that manager. Whether Man United allow that period for Ole, I don’t know.”
Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers is confident Ben Chilwell and Hamza Choudhury have learned their lesson after missing a training session last week.
Rodgers left England international defender Chilwell and midfielder Choudhury out of the Foxes squad for the 2-1 defeat at Burnley on Sunday.
Both have now been restored to the squad for tonight’s visit of West Ham United.
Rogers said the pair had made a mistake, but the matter was now closed.
“They’ve learned their lesson, they are good boys, both of them. We’ve spoken to the two players, and we move on.
“They weren’t available for the weekend, but now they both are.”
