Enjoy we have pissing ourselves at you lot for years mate. It's not United are back it's we played a style of football been missing since Fergie left, We could not give to hoots if we make the top four we just want good football and a few more academy players stepping up, We have heap of talent down there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. The start of a new era begins with the team trying to play the right style of football. Then comes the right manager that can implement it and develop existing players and the youth whilst having a churn of the current squad, and its very clear a number have to go. That takes time!! The immediate is far far less important although a domestic trophy wouldn't go amiss. Anyway, that's exactly where i see United now and in order to get back to their old winning ways thats the way its going to be. Currently three winnable games for the immediate then it gets a little more testy. Theres no reason why United can't or shouldn't win the next three but we'll see a lot more of what Ole's learnt tactically after that. It goes without saying i'd love him to get the job permanent and i doubt he's thinking any other way too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes all good fun to listen to but it shouldn't go unnoticed that martial still, i believe have the best minutes played/goals scored ration in the league. Ask the United fans on here that contested he ain't up to it and Mourinho was right not to play him. Thats where the real side busting laughs are to be had!!! Mourinho didn't want to play him, Pochettino was extremely eager to buy him. Go figure............ I think we can also expect Luke Shaw to flourish, getting further up the pitch into high up attacking positions that Mourinho would never allow, being all too focused on the defense. You saw a glimpse of this from both full backs against Cardiff. He will also benefit hugely from managerial support rather than public humiliation, as will a number of the players. What would be a huge tactical benefit to United would be to have players with the speed and agility to form a three man backline when the backs want to play high up the pitch. Currently whilst Ole clearly wants to adopt that approach i don't believe he has the players to do this, and its obviously not his fault. He just has to have the tactical brain to understand the current limitations. Given time he my well flourish but he needs the time to find the players and then to turn them into a unit. I still think he is limited in how he can approach the big games. if he were to play such a high line against City Liverpool or Spurs he will can taken apart. Cardiff is all well and good, but the top teams, no chance. NB. On another tactical note, I'm still to be convinced that Mourinho, in what was to be his final game, didn't deliberately bring on Fellaini, alongside Herreira, to see United overran and force his sacking, such was the crass stupidity of his tactics.

Martial is joint 5th on 8 PL goals not bad for him considering he hasn't played that much the leading scorer is on 12 and hopefully how Ole wants to play he could quiet easily score a lot more goals.

He only turned 18 in september. Apparently Bielsa played an 18yo last week and the kid didn't have the best of games. However, here's the next point, being that playing these youngsters the coach has to believe they are physically and mentally strong enough and Bielsa clearly thinks he is, and who's going to argue with Marcelo Bielsa!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChipButty Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Man Utd interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have an input in the January transfer window and can aid his side's wonderkid search in Norway. It is estimated one million viewers in Norway will watch Solskjaer's first game at Old Trafford against Huddersfield. The equivalent of one in five people from a population of five million. Molde wonder kid Erling Haaland, who got his chance under Solskjaer, has been watched extensively since scoring four goals in front of United scout Tommy Moller Nielsen back in July. United hope to take Ranheim youngster Odin Thiago Holm on trial in 2019 after the midfielder caught the eye at the Sambor Youth Cup in Poland last summer with five goals from midfield.
