Had Mourinho remained in charge, several players were prepared to seek a move away from the club in the summer. ESPN

The mood has changed significantly in the United dressing room and the players are looking forward to enjoying their football and their life again. #mufc [ESPN]

Mourinho: “I have been immensely proud to wear the badge of Manchester United since the first day I arrived, and I believe all United supporters recognise this. I have worked with some wonderful people and I believe that some will be fiends for life.”

Top 4 was gone for this season.
The Ole signing is just to try and return to attractive and attacking football for the rest of the season until a permanent appointment at the end.

As long as he plays attacking football and we don’t drift towards relegation he would have done what he was brought in to do.

I am not a Man Utd fan but if I were my tactic will be to

1. Get a caretaker like Ole. No expectation just manage the team.
2. Do whatever you want with the team just start removing the toxic nature of the dressing room. Make the players happy and enjoy football
3. Top 4 is a mirage at this point and forget CL, If possible avoid top 6 sef so you don't have to deal with Europa
4. Appoint a Sporting director first,
5. By February make underground contact with Poch or any coach you intend to sign.
6. Get a secret commitment that will not upset the current club(if employed)
7. Get a list of all players he wants the first choice to 3rd choice for each position he wants,
8. Hand over to the Sporting director who starts negotiations.
9. Season ends May 20. Annouce your new coach
10. Transfer window open June 1, annouce 3 new signings in the first week
11. Conclude all transfers by mid June
12. Take the new team and coach to a 1month intensive camp free from needless friendlies and media
13. Play a few friendlies before the season
14. Start the season

I can’t fault this approach. Ole’s appointment is mainly to lift the mood in the squad and erase the gloom that Mourinho brought.
The only result based expectations for Ole are
1) play attacking football
2) don’t get us relegated

We've just ensured this season is a write off.
Which doesn't make sense. The signs that the manager was finished had been on 3D since the start of this season. I just don't like the decision making of this present board. Let's hope Olé can get into Top 4 somehow.

Man Utd players can match City players only that United have a terrible coach

This is an example of such a claim. There were some more from last year. It was not only Raumdeuter who had this opinion.

Are Liverpool players currently not matching City? Do you think Liverpool have better players? But Klopp likes their style
If another coach doesn't like Lukaku and Matic style, Should he be forced to use them just because Mourinho liked and bought them
Mourinho built his team the next coach should build his too

I don't agree....

If utilized properly, our team is actually good enough to be a force to reckon with in Europe....

Every team can't be loaded like the Madrids, Barcelonas etc of this world na.

If we wan analyse am properly, i think our squad is actually better than some of the so called "feared teams" in Europe sef.. .



This is argument kind of suggested we have a squad to match City, and the rest.

But there were more direct argument from other guys which said our team was better than City, or that Mourinho inherited a better team than Guardiola

I say we forget about top 4 and just enjoy our football for now. Even though it's very much possible, but we don't need that kind of pressure unless these players are mentally strong. I doubt that though

Mourinho inherited a younger better team, Bought the players he wanted, which I believe were poor signings. E.g Lukaku, Matic and some which he had no plans for e.g Fred and Alexis

Maybe this new manager fit salvage something from the wreck that is Alexis Sanchez.
Try crazy stuff like play four attacking players.

If we have players better than City, why does the next coach need to buy?

Its the truth
elampiro:

Every coach has his style, So if the next coach prefers a different type of striker other than Lukaku or wants a different DM, He should be made to use whatever Mourinho bought

Klopp probably will not work with the players in City and Pep wont work with the players in Liverpool.

Mourinho needed to buy too but he was going after the wrong players. So you know every coach needs to buy too. Klopp, EMery, Sarri, Pep they all want to buy too

I just love this man!.

This is an argument that clearly emphasises the fact that our current team is decent enough to compete on all fronts......under normal circumstances.

The current form, fitness and psychological/mental state of the players is a different issue entirely..

Griezmann was the first choice striker.

There were solid links to midfielders throughout the summer. I can't remember names, I think there was Verratti.

Lukaku and Pogba were back-up plans, that was why we went for them towards the end of the transfer window. Fellaini was a panic buy by Moyes.

Mata was also a panic buy. Sanchez is the panic buy of Mourinho.
even barca no see greizman buy. Wen ppl were buying salah, mane, marhez, shaqiri and others were was he

"United need a lift and our ultimate super-sub, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, is just the man for the job. He’s been a long-term backer of fans and a patron of MUST, so we know he understands our support and what we are looking for from a manager.

“Whilst Ole is at the helm, the club needs to make the big structural changes to equip us to compete in modern football. The Club must put football expertise in charge of football decisions, especially in respect of selection of the next manager and player transfers.

“Manchester United fans have shown phenomenal support to the team through the recent difficult period. We know all fans will continue to back the team and we expect to see the players giving their all for the Club and the supporters.

"We know Ole will."

“It’s good for him. He’s a legend at United. I was quite surprised they were signing Ole, I didn’t know they were going to sign someone until the end of the season.

“I’m free as well, it would have been nice. I’m sure I could have done something over there as well – it’s always a matter of who you’re going to pick but hopefully they don’t forget about me!

“He wants to play attacking football, as a personality he can work with young players, give them a certain feeling, which is what they need.

“He’s got a football brain, he knows tactically what to do. Sometimes they need to be released from something that brings out that feeling of freedom. I think Ole is that type of manager.”
