They play a different system now and it’s not like before when United played 4-4-2," said Andrei Kanchelskis, speaking exclusively to 888sport."Now it’s more defensive, looking for results and no longer playing the open football like before, it’s destuctive. "If I was managing a team against Manchester United I would try to play 4-4-2 because if you play with wingers there is more chance of scoring goals against them. "United are struggling to score goals because there is no service. United need better support for their attackers. I had people like Gary Neville and Paul Parker which allowed me to play. They were great defensive players down the right side so we could concentrate on attacking more. "There are no wingers in any team now, club or international. It is not just a problem for Manchester United, it is a problem for the whole UK. Having wingers is good for the team and good for the fans. They excite and United have always had good wingers – Giggs, Beckham, myself, Ronaldo and Nani." During his time at United, the Russia international won two Premier League titles as well as the FA Cup and League Cup under Alex Ferguson. Kanchelskis believes that the Scot's approach to man management was much better than Mourinho's, especially after recent public criticism of Luke Shaw and Chris Smalling.“What Mourinho did, it shouldn’t happen," the 47-year-old claimed.  "Ferguson was only critical in the dressing room and now too many coaches are critical of their players in public. No, no, no. Ferguson didn’t do that and it should not be done.” However, Kanchelskis believes that both Mourinho and forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic should be given time to settle at Old Trafford, and feels that it is too quick to judge their impact at the club. “He needs more time as he has only been in charge for a handful of games," Kanchelskis continued. "We need to wait until the end of the season. It has been three years since they last won a title and everything would change if he won a title there. "I don’t think it will be this season though the next couple of months will be so important for him and the team. There are so many games around Christmas and then the FA Cup starts up again and if they begin to win regularly that will bring so much confidence.” "On the whole it’s difficult to judge United’s season so far. We need more time to judge Manchester United, the players and Mourinho. We need to wait until the end of the season to see if there is a change or no change. Right now there has been only 12 games." Ibrahimovic made a perfect start after signing from PSG, with four goals in his first four Premier League games, but went on a run of six games without a goal before netting two against Swansea. Kanchelskis believes he has done enough at other clubs to prove to United fans that he is a natural goalscorer, and urges them to be patient with the 35-year-old:“I also cannot understand the criticism of Ibrahimovic. Everybody knows he is a big player for big teams. He always helps these teams and he is the top goalscorer right now at United. Everyone loved him when he joined so why not now? There is no problem.”</blockquote>
