Agree.
He's way overrated for the money paid on him.

Good player but this level is above him

Rooney

Rooney would transform this team into top 4 easy

Make Derby lan offer then!

Bit over the hill now but better than what we have. Rashford is great player but not a centre forward either better at loosing his man when coming in from the left

He could learn a thing or two from james when it comes to attitude and mentality.

65m 250k a week? Massive raw talent and hes shafted you for it too. Questionable mentality, dont believe hes fully invested in football, if the money wasnt there dont think hed be playing out of love for the game thats for sure.

I can't stand watching martial at the moment.
I used to like him but he's become so lazy, everytime I watch him, his attitude on the pitch p!sses me off so much.

There were a number of times today where a ball was played to him and he didn't bother chasing it even though he could have easily got it as he's not exactly slow.
About 30-40 times where opposition players had the ball about 2 metres from him and he just watches them with it, applying absolutely zero pressure on them.

Hate to say it, bunch he is worse than Lukaku on current form.
He's been absolute gash since his pay rise, go figure.

I find him lazy. But he's always had that demeanour tbf. No point in comparing anyone to Lukaku because he was clearly our best out and out striker. Ole didn't fancy fin for whatever reason and it's done.

But our lack of creativity would give even Lukaku problems in goalscoring

Have you seen what's masquerading as a utd midfield at the moment

Reread my last sentence. Even Lukaku would struggle for this side. But if you're going to let the one goalscorer in a squad go, you should probably have an ace up your sleeve. Ole hasn't

Never mind though, he's Ole, he scored against Bayern in 99 and he's a lovely guy... Why and how is this guy our manager?! What are the credentials? It's ridiculous for a supposed top club. And it's just constant lowering of the bar to make him and this seem okay

How can ole have an ace up his sleeve when he relying on the joker Ed who facked up another window

As for lukaku he was dog shizit for us last season and wanted to leave

The clubs a fackin mess and that ain't gonna change as long as parasites and clowns are running the show

Lukaku could have done a better job as a CF for United had Ole not written him off very quickly in his quest to put his own (record breaking stamp) on the club imo. Ole should have been trying to get his only centre forward who could dream of scoring 20 goals in a season on board but instead he ostracised him. Because we had good enough players at the club.

I genuinely think he believes that you can just cull players who actually have something about them, and our youth will outshine them. Bear in mind this is the guy who brought Eikrem and a couple of other "exceptional" United youth players to Cardiff, got them relegated and those guys were never seen again.

He is no judge of talent or tactics. He's here because he's Ole. He is very very lucky to have the job and we shouldn't be sitting here 11 months later waiting for the plan to fall into place. There is no plan. He's just the guy who scored that goal.

Lukaku was shizit before ole arrived

A fat useless piece of shizit

Why should any manager , Jose included, need to get a highly paid professional footballer to do something as basic as getting himself into shape

We all know the reason ole got the job and it's looking like just another bad decision in 6 years of bad decisions. He wanted out the same way pogba has wanted out and still does.

For the record, Molde are running away with the Norwegian league this year. You could argue Ole put them in a position to do so. You could also argue they saw United coming, got their pay off and have progressed further without him

Lukaku ^

You could argue that but who cares about molde at this stage

I do. I'm wondering why we appointed him. Was it based on his abilities as a manager? Or was it just Ed trying to manipulate morons into giving more time and lowering expectations for the man in the hotseat, thereby reducing the pressure on himself?

These are rhetorical questions, obviously

Not too hard to figure it out or are you the 1 in a million utd fan who was screaming dont do it when that winning streak culminated the away win in Paris

I was screaming "don't do it" when he was first given the job as it was clearly an appointment based on him being a legend, as opposed to his managerial abilities. I wasn't screaming for him to be appointed after the PSG game and he wasn't appointed after that game anyway. He was appointed permanently after two subsequent, consecutive defeats.

And I was saying we'd been playing terribly since the end of last Jan under Ole, in spite of the results.

Feel free to scroll back to those comments. I think I was a lone voice in saying that we were playing terribly and that the bottom would fall out. Even I didn't expect it to be as spectacular as it has been though

He wasnt appointed directly after the PSG game but the decision to appoint him was obviously based on that run. Talks of a permanent appointment had obviously started before Paris and I would imagine the decision and was made within days of that result.

Unfortunately and not untypical of the last 6 years at utd it also started to fall apart

In hindsight the sensible course of action would have been to wait till the end of the season but as I've said that's been the calibre of decision making at the club since fergie announced his retirement 6 years ago

I don't disagree with you there. I just think the appointment of our current manager was based on non footballing reasons, temporarily to begin with. And then Ed was delighted to give him the permanent job, doing so far earlier than had presumed to be intended.
Regardless, it's a mess and it's not a transition so much as an abyss. It's so easy to say we're 2, 3, 4 years away from challenging. You can't put a timescale on incompetence

You would be an absolute idiot if you argued the latter.

Would you be? I don't know who their current manager is. Does it matter though. He's surely a very real contender to be our next manager. He's taken Ole's team (not even his own) and made them better. If Ole was appointed based on being the best man for the job, this nameless man in the Norwegian league is even better so we should snap him up.

I'm sorry, but it is that simple. Ole was not appointed based on achievement. He was appointed based on the idiocy of sentiment
