The crazy thing about this game is that City have probably been the strongest looking team this season yet a win here and we go level with them.
Cavani being out is a big blow.
Hoping for a win since it's the last game for the manager. Probably will be a draw.
Cavani being out is a big blow.
Thought people were crazy to be building a first XI and styles of play around this pair up top. We really need them to alternate for each other and don’t have the centre forward depth for two striker systems. Maybe we get a 5-2-2-1 or 5-2-3 tomorrow?
It still amazes me that people were arguing that we didn’t need Ronaldo, even though we saw what impact Cavani made last year and we already know he can only play a limited amount.
What makes you think the « right » appointment will be made by the board ?He's a like a lame duck president at this point. The only thing keeping him in the job is the fact there's no ready-made replacement who fits the mould of the current squad.
Zidane didn't want it and Conte would have needed a major rebuild. Everyone else is contracted.
If the next Klopp or Guardiola was available today, they'd already have been appointed. Ole is effectively a caretaker manager at this point.
I don't get the obsession from supposed United fans of kicking the club while it's down. Ole will be sacked as soon the right candidate can be found. Wishing defeat in a derby is a fecking horrific way of supporting the club.
Gut feeling is this is going to be Ole's last match in charge. Although we have fallen off a cliff .it was much better ride than the dross times of LvG, Mourinho and Moyesey!
Going to be positive till KickOff. Than the usual.
Ole won’t be judged on games like Liverpool and City.Win-win situation today. We win and we’ve dampened City’s title hopes (plus it always feels great beating that mob).
We lose and we’re a step closer to binning Ole.
Why’s the game on Sky? Thought BT had Saturday 12:30 kick offs?
Ole will be in charge either way after this, I think we will get something today and then go on a run. Believe!
Ah I see. Thanks.Think it was moved at the request of GMP - Sky might have intended to schedule it for later in the day.
It is biggest game of the weekend, I presume Sky had already nabbed it and likely police have said it had to be this time.Why’s the game on Sky? Thought BT had Saturday 12:30 kick offs?
What have you seen to believe this?
Yep, agreed. Only another 4-0 or 5-0 home defeat today will see him sacked. Anything less and he’ll live on.Unless we take a 3 goal battering I think he's again ridden the pressure out again.
If poor form and a 5-0 home defeat doesn't see him out then not much else will.
Says something when I am beginning to see international breaks as a nice consolation.Yep, agreed. Only another 4-0 or 5-0 home defeat today will see him sacked. Anything less and he’ll live on.
Supposedly Lindelof has been seen with the squad this morning.

Victor Lindelof spotted with United squad
He looked to be a doubt for the match today but Victor Lindelof has been spotted as part of the United squad leaving the team hotel this morning.
That will serve as a huge boost for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ahead of kick-off given Raphael Varane's absence. Edinson Cavani and Marcus Rashford could both still miss the match though.
What's your likely back 4/5 with Varane and Lindelof out?
That's surely the key as Maguire is complete rubbish atm, Baiily is poor against any reasonably good striker and would that mean Shaw being third CB with Telles/Dalot on the left.
Can't see how City won't score 2/3 v that tbh.
Think this will be quite a highest scoring game, 2-4 Man. City.
Think if we lose to spectacular goals or really well worked goals. It is if like recently goals have been conceded through sheer incompetence on our part there will be serious criticism from the fans.Yep, agreed. Only another 4-0 or 5-0 home defeat today will see him sacked. Anything less and he’ll live on.
You really wouldn't put it past him.Well Varane and Maguire both been thrown back into team in recent weeks miles off being 100% fit so might aswell use that same tactic for third CB.
