Captain fantastico strikes again LOL

What an embarrassment he is. Along with half the team, they’ve absolutely swindled careers out of United for years now.

DDG has one foot out the door and rightly so

There is no logical answer to that. None. Hes hopeless at this level.

It’s 3 - 0, get a grip of yourself ffs LOL

This type of defeat was coming, they've been playing fairly poorly lately and got away with it against Watford and West Ham.

I'll gladly see this bookmarked as I think Ole will soon be caught out (within the next 12 months) and be proven to be out his depth at Man United.

I actually thought they played much better tonight than they had v Watford and West Ham. Individual errors killed the game off early doors but before that they looked ok. You can clearly see their defence is a mess though. Not one ounce of a solid leader back there, which will cost them massively until it’s sorted out.

When they finally realise it, I'll stop telling them LOL

"I called him an embarrassment to FIFA and to himself," .... He said 'No-one speaks to me like that'.... and I said, "well I do' and that was that."

Ya but it's hard to blame Ole if it all goes south in the next 12 months or so for him. What is there at the club, is rotten to the core. Unless he's allowed to clear a huge amount out, he doesn't stand a chance.

Btw, there are plenty in the media and on forums like this that constantly talk up United as a team and there players individually.

How much have they spent in the last five years again ?

That 1st Messi goal was World Class but it’s completely preventable if Young makes a basic pass. I’ve praised Solskjaer a lot on here for his tactical awareness. Especially in the first few months when he was playing 4-3-3 with Rashford, Martial and Lingard up front. Manchester United were brilliant in attack when he used that and since the injuries against PSG haven’t really looked as impressive in attack since. We still got good results but more grinded then out. Solskjaer returned to the 4-3-3 tonight and even looked their most impressive in an attacking sense since the Chelsea FA Cup game but playing Lindelof at right back to accommodate Jones and Smalling at Central defence was baffling. All defensive errors were punished and Manchester United made a lot of them.

He’s trying With regards to Solskjaer I believe this is a long term appointment and he will be backed. Van Gaal and Mourinho were short term fixes that unless you won a league title in the first two seasons it was doomed. All galactico type signings with no plan to create an identity. I don’t think you’ll be seeing any Gareth Bale type signings under Solskjaer. More like Jaden Sancho and Wan Bissaka. Getting rid of players that doesn’t suit his style of play and promoting the young players like Greenwood and Angel Gomes. Next season is about getting rid of players and bedding in the new players. Top 4 is the realistic aim. By the 2nd you would hope Manchester United would have an identity and style of play. The 3rd season is when Solskjaer will be expected to win the league. I do think the fans will be more patient and everyone is aware of the huge rebuilding job.
