It has to simply fall with the manager.

Ferguson in his last title winning campaign, dragged a team loaded with Phil Jones, Anderson, Tom Cleverley and Rafael and won the league by 11 points.

This side is a side capable of winning the league, their depth, their quality is there. But where Ferguson could get away with dropping Ronaldo, Rooney, Beckham etc... and still win, Solskjaer can't.

His handling of Cavani, Sancho, Lingard and Van Der Beek are prime examples of how dreadful he is at man management. He's got a load of Square pegs, but not enough square holes, and he can't shoe horn 11 attacking players in. Sancho will go down a Lingard route I reckon, and end up with rock bottom confidence.

During the game, possession wise, solid. Quick passing movements, and find space, but defensively, they're so open, and we picked them apart 4-5 times in the second half alone, and their game plan really benefitted our system, so much so that we should have won.
Solskjaer failed at Cardiff, and whilst he's grown as a manager, I don't think he can handle it. But the question, if he were to go, what International manager is brave enough to take one of the biggest poison chalice roles, in World Football.
 
United have a lot of very good players. However they just don't fit together. If they are going to play 4-2-3-1 they need a CM to play alongside McTominay. The only position I would trust Pogba is 10 but that means you have to choose between him and Fernandes. On the left they desperately need Rashford back as Martials form has dropped off a cliff. Through the middle Ronaldo and Cavani will get goals but they are both ageing. Sancho will come good but needs time to adapt to English football. Wan Bissaka is an excellent defender but when you are at a top side as a FB you need to be an attacking threat. Varane, Maguire and Shaw are all very good. Also after Henderson did well last season they insist in picking DeGae. They will finish 3rd in my opinion but that shouldn't keep OGS in a job.
 
Glazer's about to make more money selling shares, share price shot up when they signed Ronaldo, guess it's the time to cash in quick while the Dow lost 400 points last week.

Manchester United's owners have put up another 9.5 million shares, with a value of $186.86m (£137.12m), for sale.

United notified the New York Stock Exchange of the sale on Tuesday evening, in the names of club directors Kevin Glazer and Edward Glazer.

The statement makes it clear the club "will not receive any proceeds from the sale".

 


Maguire is absolutely average and nothing more, anyone who says he's good has not got a clue about football full stop.

Laughable at £ 85 million and 300k a week,only looks above average when he plays for England with a defensive manager with two DM Infront of him playing deep defensive line.
 
With all the money they have spent and the calibre of players at their disposal, the owners have to look at this and surely will be considering action.

Brighton are above them, we'll go ahead with any result tomorrow (and our squad isn't great!) and Brentford could do the same. Wolves are rubbish too!
 
I'm loving the hesitancy from the Glazer's in not sacking the hapless Ole.
For the life of me, surely they can see he's not fit to manage the club.
Glazer's don't care about on pitch results, it's about the NY stock market and the share price, look at them last week selling $187 million of shares as soon as the Dow dropped 400 points the week before, that is the only time when the Glazer's act quick in regard to MUFC PLC.

Won't binning OGS send the share price back up though.
I love the way they said the club wouldn't receive a penny from that $187m.
