He noted that they were still enough games to make top 4 why is true but Mou prioritized the UEL, everything was carefully plotted and he achieved his aim. If we didn't have the UEL route, he would have fought for top 4 and I am quite sure the probability of us making it would have been higher...
Fine margins in that Europa campaign... Guidetti nearly ended everything, luck was on our side.

Mourinho qualified for the UCL consecutively but is that enough to praise a coach?

This is how Arsenal fans used to gloat about UCL qualification back then...
Wetin concern me with Arsenal fans, izzit not the current reality we are addressing?

At least Arsenal use to finish top 4 and qualify for CL consistently, can we even boast of that now?

We should be fighting for the top trophies...

Close to a decade now, we've managed 2nd once in the EPL, if Ole manages and finishes 2nd this term, it'll only be a 2nd time in close to ten yrs.

What of the CL, we managed 2 QF appearances, one under Moyes and one under Ole. We never smell semis close to a decade now.

What of domestic cups, we managed 1FA cup and 1 Carabao Cup respectively in over 8yrs. How many times have we made the semis in the last 8yrs in them?

Kudos to Mourinho for winning Europa buts that our biggest trophy since Fergie retired.

But Ole is the beginning and the ending of our problems as a club.
In these same period, Leicester City were crowned champions, Chelsea too and even Liverpool...We have outspebt or have spent on par with Liverpool but we should reduce the expectation on the team just so Ole can be shielded from criticism...

Are Leicester better than us? Didn't they win the league in 2015?

There’s always an element of luck in most cases...The end justifies the means, we won the UEL and qualified for the UCL.

You should just list SAF’s top 5 seasons and the semi finals he bottled instead of beating about the bush.

You see that's where the problem is. No one is accepting that, never.

But seeing how we've struggled to make ordinary top 4 consistently in the last years and the work Ole is doing? Isn't it progress at least? But you guys will keep on disparaging the effort the man is putting in.

Yes we know we should be gunning for the league and CL, won't you qualify for the CL first b4 you play in it?

Is just like Arsenal fans dreaming of winning the league next season while they're languishing in 9th, how is that even possible?

"In the last 9 years we have not won the league or challenged for the title"

In few years time, people will come here and say Ole challenged for the title when it was obvious that Manchester City will win it as early as February...The people now saying we challenged for the title are the same set of people who said we were not good enough to challenge City when some of us thought otherwise especially seeing how our rivals were struggling just so that they'd have an excuse to defend Ole when we fail but seeing how the season has panned out, they want to sneak in the narrative that we challenged City...

Talking about the last 9 years, you'd be forgiven for thinking only City won the league in that time frame and with 100 pts every season but it was not the case, in that same period, Leicester City were crowned champions, Chelsea won the league twice, Liverpool also won it (once). Leicester didn't out spend us and off my head, I'm sure Chelsea and Liverpool haven't out spent us with a great margin but it's here you'll read all manner of excuses, excuses that didn't suffice when Moyes, Van Gaal and Mourinho were with us...

How many times did Leicester make top 4 before winning the league...

If we were serious, we'd have won the league this season.

The manager can get replaced, the players can get replaced too. It depends on the club.

Has Ole not met the target the club set for him this season?

Ok we just need to be like Leicester that can win one fluke league in 100yrs baa?

If you can list the last 10 league winners, how many of them really qualified to win the league, my best guess, 9.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by KingAlabi: 2:24pm On May 14, 2021
What was our target this season, I can remember some of us here said

1) challenge for the league or close the gap with city and pool
" That has been a bit achieved, you may say Liverpool defensive trouble left them drowning, but check goals conceded and clear your doubt, again you will say point average were low, everybody suffered it even the champions man city"

2) Good run in cup competitions.
"Carabao- SF, FA- QF, champions league- embarrassing exit, in my opinion we achieved it 70%"

3) A trophy
" Not confirmed yet, but aren't we in a final?"

What are our expectations next season then?

SAF bottled 4 semifinals in 26 years at Man Utd.

Ole has bottled 5 semifinals in less than 3 years.

If Ole has any common sense, he should be negotiating a deal to bring Ndidi to Old Trafford.

Yesterday should have told him McFred isn’t going to win him any big trophy going forward.

If Ole signs Ndidi, Varane and Sancho then he has a small chance of competing for the league next season.

Ndidi is so vital to the way United want to play. Especially with the Pogba/Bruno conundrum. The only way we can have those two creative midfielders is by using a high quality single pivot in the midfield and Ndidi is the best man for that job.

We can't pretend that some of the top dogs flattered to deceive this season, the point tally points to that...

Next season, when Liverpool sort their CB issues with the return of VVD and Gomez, you'll be surprised how far behind they'll leave us...

We need to win trophies and be consistent...By consistency, I'm not talking about a run of 20 games without defeat that comes with 10 wins and 10 draws but one that comes with something like 16 wins and 4 draws...

Ole will be here next season from the look of things and trust me he'll most likely push far into one or two cup competitions and pretend to be in contention for the title all to the praise of his fans but that's where it all ends...We need to win trophies abeg.

We would strengthen too u know.

We have our foward line sorted.

We just need a defender.. Nd a midfielder.. And a right back.

And that’s the point.

United came a long way to become the juggernaut they have now become. SAF has made all the sacrifices and we shouldn’t ever be struggling for almost 10 years to win a league title.

SAF took us to a position where we won 13 league titles in 20 years. Why have we suddenly gone under again like a bottom club trying to reach the top? Will Bayern, Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG go 8 years without a league title?

If not, why do you accept it as a United fan?
