All that Ole needed was a defensive midfielder because his attack was very quick, lethal and dangerous that could destroy any team. They looked so comfortable and did it for fun when at their best.

[@anthonyvencent9561]

The defensive midfielder would have saved Ole's job and won him the Europa League. He was so close yet so far.

[@maxhalley9594]

I loved Ole ball. He came in when the team was a mess under Mourinho playing depressingly negative football. Morale was low. Rashford was considering leaving. Ole recognised that the ace up our sleeve was that we had an abundance of talented young and fast players (Greenwood, Rashford, Martial, etc.), and our best bet would be to find a way to release them. Originally Pogba played the quarter back role, and we did really well for about eight games until he started pushing for a move elsewhere and essentially downed tools. At that point the team's performance dipped and everyone just said the team benefitted from "the new manager bounce". But it was a clear strategy. Then we bought Bruno Fernandes and he was the perfect man for the job. Solskjaer had two of the most exciting young coaches in McKenna and Carrick happily working under him and we played exciting counter attacking football. The media were relentlessly on his back despite coming second and third and being a penalty away from winning the Uefa cup against a team who parked the bus (so at this point we were clearly dominating matches). Most fans bought into the nonsense the media were spewing and couldn't see how well we were actually progressing. Once Ronaldo came in, everything fell apart. We no longer pressed up front the same way or passed the ball around the same way as we see in this video. Once Ronaldo came in, everything fell apart. We no longer pressed up front the same way or passed the ball around the same way as we see in this video.

[@NotReallyTho_]

Honestly the second we went 1st in the league in 20/21 rival fans went from saying Ole's doing well to saying this is Man Utd you should be beating everyone 3-0 and then our own fans started saying the same thing its sad. I still think Ole is better than at least 85% of managers in the prem maybe even 90%

[@maxhalley9594]

@@NotReallyTho_ I agree. So few people (fans, pundits, so called "expert" journalists) could admit he was doing well, because they all bought into the idea that he didn't know what he was doing as he struggled at Cardiff and they doubled down on that. They were just waiting for any moment for him to make a mistake to ridicule him so they could justify themselves.

[@Flameboy08]

this is man united playing counter attacking football like Real Madrid all they need at that was the said sergio Ramos..... imagine this team having sergio ramos and Thiago Silva this would have been an Avenger Team under OGS

[@otterinari2390]

Daniel James was a good presser. But they sold him to Leeds as to accommodate Ronaldo in the squad. Instead of Ronaldo all we needed was a proper DM along with Pogba. Ole was crying for Declan but the board never listened. I still love Ole and support till this date and despite his lack of tactical acumen, he was doing a damn good job in making the team score goals.

[@Bootstrap3T2]

[@wenjiatteh6377]

Better than the Erik clown

[@-gui-]

Ole was building something amazing, you could feel it during the build-up to his final season... The team was like a well-oiled machine, the attack was very fluid with lots of pace. However, he made a crucial error in signing Ronaldo. Suddenly, instead of being a team with multiple sources of goals, everyone started looking to serve Ronaldo. It made it easier for opponents to predict United's gameplay. Also, Ole struggled to adjust his team shape to accommodate an ageing Ronaldo, which made it easier for opponents to break through our lines of defence too easily. Ronaldo is a legend, but Ole made the mistake of signing a player who felt bigger than the team. Ole himself destroyed what he had painstakingly built over the years. Nevertheless, thank you Ole for the few wonderful years of spectacular counterattack football. Wish he won at least one trophy to mark his legacy as a United manager

[@-gui-]

& yes, the money for signing Ronaldo and paying his wages would've been better spent to bring in a quality Defensive Midfielder... Perhaps, that's what happened in a parallel universe 😢

[@WillStubbs37]

This comment betrays the truth of all this. Ole did well with what he had, but it was trying to ‘bring back’ Fergie. He was never ever going to win the league or CL for us. Ten Hag hasn’t got much more to show for his efforts so far, but the key thing is he is building something different and NEW. Which has then been galvanised by the INEOS movement. It has to be this level of change that can rebuild United to a title-challenging team. That’s bigger than any manager. Ten Hag has won titles and won titles straight away with this team. Ole never had the appropriate CV for the job, he was never going to bring elite levels of anything, including success. And he never will, for those saying to give him another chance!

[@Xxpat]

@@WillStubbs37 that's your opinion but not fact. The opinion of many of us was that he could win it. Remember when the Ole outers used to say any other manager would win the league with that team? Well, other managers came and what happened? Many of us loved Ole ball. Even now, we can barely do a comeback, or score more than 3 goals in a game. That said, we all want Ten Hag to succeed.

However, the board pushed him away from doing his job😢 I really miss those days

[@kabirsardana1282]

James was actually a pretty decent player. he ran, pressed, was great on the counter and was probably the only winger in the entire squad who knew how to cross the ball. the reason he didnt work out well was because our fans are fucking toxic and the jump he made was probably too much for him at the time. if he had taken one more season at Fulham on loan and then come to united. he'd have probably been a far better player. I mean he was never bad for Wales. in fact he is one of their most influential players after bale.

It was avery good technique. Less than a pace to strike it but he sliced it with power but made sure it had enough height and weigh to land infront of Greenwood. if I'm not wrong, he made similar pass to Garnacho in the 2024 FA Cup Final in the sequence leading up to Mainoo's goal.
