I’m betting my last dollars that ole will be gone before Xmas

Odds down to 4/1 on Solskjaer being the next Premier League manager to leave.

Interestingly, the Tottenham manager is the favourite to take over at Old Trafford should the Norwegian get the boot.

I would choose Pochettino over ole any time any day...

The Manchester United I support now is in a very big crisis... what will their league standings be after next match against Liverpool? Last time it was match of the season and watching man utd vs Liverpool game now?? Liverpool must be happy they are facing us now

Pochettino can't do anything with man utd.

He can't even win a single thing with Kane, Son, Eriksen, Moura, Alli...all top and fast players.

bright side: despite the loss, tuanzabe had a good game imo, he has the potential to develop into a top defender

another encouraging fact is that chances have been given to youngsters due to squad injuries

dark side: away form, another injury, lack of creativity, no targetman to aim at despite set pieces, haiz vomit blood... its strange that they beat chelsea 4-0 and then all of a sudden results went downhill and still snowballing wtf??

does mata need to reinvent and play deeper a la pirlo, xavi? he wasn't effective despite playing in his preferred position for the last few games

the glazers need to support ogs and his rebuild plan, appoint a person with football knowhow to replace woodward as CEO, woodward transfered to the commercial dept to focus on securing sponsors since he is so good at it


p.s.: pool and man u have switched places, they are on the ascendancy while man u is hentak kaki, for how long more?

Basicially the 1st half....i fell asleep.
Both sides didn't really play. Perhaps Newcastle was probing.
True enough, they ascertain Man U was sleeping n have no intention of playing.
So they go in for the kill.
They didn't play exceptionally well, it was Man U who didn't want to play.

At this rate, any team that wants to play ball will win Man U.

Agree, more youngsters should be given a chance.

Please dun equate Mata with the talented Pirlo n Xavi.....totally diff class ...Mata is way past his prime. He should be the one to be offloaded instead of Herrera.

one suggestion: sign a targetman, deploy james on the left and greenwood on the right so that they can cut in to their natural foot and cross in aiming for the targetman, that may terrorize a few defences, the fullbacks overlap to stretch the defence and provide an option

the squad also lacks a set piece specialist (beckham), corners and free kicks are going to waste in every match they play

nope, not equating mata to pirlo n xavi, tbh i feel he is one to two notches below, a good player but not at their level. but he is what man u has, perhaps he can reinvent himself into a deeplying playmaker. the current midfield lacks bite and cannot properly supply the attackers

herrera... the midfield had bite whenever he played, what were the owners thinking when they let him go on a free? good players beget good performances, which beget trophies, revenues, etc. 真的是头壳坏掉脑袋进水

[imom]

Actually Mata was making good runs in the no.10 positions. And Rashford was making good runs further up. But the mates around them, none can play a telling pass. All pass sideways and backwards. Fred was probably the worst of the lot.

James needs to evolve and change things up. He had a good first few games and now the opponents have all studied his videos and he's getting found out.

Hoping Ole's relationship with Erling Haaland is good enough to convince him to come to OT. Also need another more established centre forward. Plus a couple of playmakers and anohter holding mid. That's the minimum to mount any kind of sustainable challenge, taking into account injuries during a season.

Thanks bro SC for yr compliments ...but i think OGS must also share the blame for not pushing the owners into action and just accept their decision like a dumb dumb and even defending the poor results by saying they r not bad wat the players r all ok when he knows they r not

Yes, a very good analysis of the glaring problems at Man Utd now by bro ilovepantyhose and imom ...if only the owners read this and follow wat is written and recommended, their problem is over

Good analysis!

Herrera was my fav player...he is dedicated, got good vision....the only problem was he is hot headed n can easily get sent off.

Unfortunately, which top player would want to come to a mid table club now????

yes, mata tries to stretch the defence with his runs, there was one match where he did that to open up space for a teammate to score. as for rashford, he has been making runs down the left channel because pogba usually operates on the center left. as a result, rashford receives the ball on his weaker side, if he shoots using his weaker foot, chance of scoring is lower, if he cuts to his right, he would have lost that 0.5 second and the defender would have closed down on him. for the past few matches, he seems to lack confidence to shoot using his left foot, i think because of this, the defenders just focus closing down on him when he cuts to his right.

fred is looking to be another expensive flop, man u have signed quite a number of south americans, only a few proved to be good signings

also, there has been a emphasis of playing down the left due to pogba and martial. this could have caused an imbalance to the playing style, opponents can just close down on pogba and martial because they know that man u tends to play thru them. mourinho deployed mata on the right wing to try to achieve some balance because if pogba and martial are marked tightly, there is a outlet on the right. right now, pereira is deployed on the right, but so far nothing spectacular leh

yes, james is trying hard though recently in vain, the injury to shaw did him no favours as well. shaw will make overlapping runs to stretch the defence, which free up space for james. ogs could have instructed young to be more conservative and make less overlapping runs in case of counter attacks (and he is 34 liao). as a result, james has two players on him when he gets the ball and can't make things happen. we have to be patient and when ogs has a full squad, the fluidity against chelsea will be back

saw erling haaland's highlights on youtube, he could be a good signing. if he really does join man u, the irony!

yes, agree! he is like a pitbull, he never runs out of energy and his determination can rub off on the youngsters. with him gone, the midfield is lacking bite again smh, still cannot believe he was let go on a free (nbcb )

i think ogs is suay, the squad is hit with an injury crisis compounded with poor form, the media is having a field day because it is MUFC. football now is warped because of so much money and if there is no success after spending so much, the manager is considered a failure. fergie took 6 years to win the PL after being appointed, although it was a diff era where everybody is not demanding instant results (edit: alamak latest injury, greenwood. simplify everything and play 4-4-2?)

yes, footballers are also realistic, they are unlikely to join a club which is not in UCL. its a challenging task for ogs to attract top players, perhaps thats why he is focusing on young hungry players. if this core of young players stay together for a few years, the success is better savoured when they win

His old man already said Utd would be a good step for him. And he has already scored at Anfield...
