Best midfielder in the league?
8 goals and 6 assists in his last 9 league games is obscene. What a player we have.

I've said it at least one hundred billion times:
He shouldn't ever play in a midfield two. He shouldn't play as a six or a seven. And he's not a number ten.
You play him on the left side of a three man midfield, next to a B2B and in front of a centrally-stationed specialist DM.
And you do that every week. And if you do do it, you see a world class player.

Ole gets job and get whacked 5-0 by Mourinho in the Champions League next season and then your fans finally shut the furrrk up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why would we shut up? Mourinho was a disgrace of a manager in his final season with United.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He's gone, stop talking about him. Your fans are so obssessed with him. Hes gone, move on and stop badmouthing him.

Pogba's form goes to show just how much Mourinho's management style didn't suit him. Shackles are off and Pogba's in sparkling form.

KDB is still superior IMO, mostly due to his consistency and his knack for producing the goods in big games.
Imagine a midfield with Pogba and KDB with a holding CM behind them...outrageous

He played there many times under Jose. The difference now is he has players making runs and interchanging ahead of him. Before, he looked up and only had the static Lukaku to aim for.
Plus, he's playing more as a no.10 now than a left sided CM

Agree with you in the first part. He also put in a lot of very good performances playing in that position under Mourinho despite the shackles. Should have been playing there every single week though.
I have to take exception to your second point though: he really isn't playing at number ten. He's playing *exactly* the same position now that he played at Juve, which is the archetypal left sided 8 role in a dynamic 4-3-3.
First of all, he doesn't play centrally - he's just in off the left touchline most of the game, deeper than Martial. Although he can be found in central positions in the supporting line when we have extended periods of attacking possession (as can Herrera), his average position is much deeper than the wing forwards, and he sits in when we don't have the ball.
He's actually often deep enough to be playing long diagonals and carry the ball out of defence which you don't often find tens doing, because their purpose is to sit in behind, find pockets of space between the lines in central areas and play in their forwards and midfielders or be running in behind themselves. Their position is different and their duties are different.
In fact, looking at positions and responsibilities, the player we have closest to a ten when he's on the pitch is Lingard in the false RF/deep inside right role. Most often found centrally looking for space to link up with those on the shoulder or running in behind, or pressing for gaps along the line himself.

Fack me, he did call him that. Any team that hires Jose after his mare deserves relegation

I woiuld furrrking love to see Solskjaer win 10% of what Mourinho was won as a manager. I would furrrking love to see hime ven furrrking try and do that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jose has won 25 trophies as manager... Ole 3 so far at senior level.
10% of 25 is what Wahl?
You've already seen it
