Still love Ole 100%. He is Manchester United and I miss him.

Ronaldo coming back killed Ole off. Bruno creating for Greenwood, Rashford and Cavani was great. Cavani had work rate off the ball as well. Rashford and Greenwood followed Cavani with the same work rate off the ball. The whole system changed just for Ronaldo to score with zero work rate off the ball. Yeah he scored 24 goals but the goal difference was 0. The year before it was +25. A big difference.

Love Ole. When did we last score 5? Did it regularly under Ole. Top bloke too.

If Mourinho took over United right after Sir Alex left, things would be different today. United was a huge catch for Moyes and he wasn’t ready to take the club forward because he had no experience with elite club coaching.

Recruitment is the main thing gone wrong at United for a long time. Recruitment/ selling/ contracts/ salary.

Says Ole should have been backed and given more time but also says ETH should have been sacked. Bit of a contradiction MP.

Ole got us 3 and 2 in the PL.

Still love Ole. He should have been given more time.

Incompetent hierarchy THEY pick the manager and then sack them after 8 months, 18 months, 2 years, 3 years after a few bad results 😳🙄

I was sick to death of chopping managers and their philosophies every 2-3 year. When Ole was on the chopping block, I really wanted us to just firm it for another year. We needed (still need tbf) to just ride the wave, no matter how rough. I’m glad EtH has been given backing because another sacking, another transition would have pissed me off to the point of no return

Ole was the best. Wish he was back

Ole's team was good and Ronaldo came back then everything changed.

One of Ole's biggest pitfall is player favoritism...example De Gea and Maguire made blunders after blunders but he kept starting them. I mean, both players ofc need game time to back on track, but he didn't bench them once, it was frustrating for fans to see. Should've given those players a bit of break. Another thing is he was dictated by management and SAF, like the Ronaldo deal. Ole obviously didn't want Ronaldo, but he was forced to accept. Ronaldo is a great player, but not suitable for the team at that moment Other than that, I actually like United when Ole was in charge. Their performance was energetic, very attractive. Even frickn Pogba was on good form in many games. Whenever we face City or Liverpool I always have confidence that we can win.

As an Ipswich fan was listening hoping to hear viewpoints on Kieran McKenna, to me he can walk on water 😂

I always wondered who inspired Ole's way of talking English and here we are.

For me the biggest mistake was getting rid of Ole when they did, he should have gone to the end of the season, the half season under Rangnick was a disaster from almost every aspect. He was definitely the wrong man at the wrong time.

reminds me of my dad grounded bleeds football great man manager get him involved training youth staff etc IMO🙏

Micky was a good solid professional who never gave less than everything he could in every game, good number two as well.

I will be watching the full interview after this
