Solskjaer isn't the only problem but he's certainly one of the major ones.
No, he is not. We are improving, there will be growing pains.

Yup, we will see. Or I will, you will be gone. Keep telling yourself that the problem is the manager, and appointing a new one will magically solve everything.
Counterattacking coach. Has no clue what to do when we need to impose our will on the game, and hence useless for us.
I've spent all my time since full time pointing out in numerous threads how many subpar, midtable first team players we have, lad.
It's a problem from top to bottom,and Ole is part of it.
That 2nd place is like an illusion. We were shite, even Liverpool was starting to look like the team they are now.Jose wasn't underachieving with this squad, he massively overachieved in 17/18 and made people actually believe we had the quality to be right behind City.
OGS loves him too much for thatSimply has to bench Lingarrd with possibly the view to getting him out of the club. Lingarrd would not make wolves or everton starting 11.
We need a young hungry coach who is looking tactically good in a league like Spain or Germany. Is there anyone?
We did, and it solved nothing. No manager can solve our issues without good support from the higher ups. This was always going to take time, the fact that our squad was allowed to get to this state was always going to be a problem.
We shouldn't have to rely on pens to beat Crystal Palace at home.Relax guys. Couple pens go in and we're right up there near the perch.
So we appointed the Molde manager because he used to play for us.
Reminds me of my manager at work. He got a role she wouldn't even dream of because she was friends with the right people. She does nothing, doesn't discipline team members because she doesn't want to upset them and lead to them to leave. Just happy to be there, really.
Out of the top six teams he might be the worst manager, only Lampard has question marks over him. His number 2 has been out of top flight football for years, the rest of his coaching staff are inexperienced and some of the players he likes are not good enough.
He's a counter attacking manager who's trying to implement a style he doesn't know how to coach well enough, under players who are not good enough.
Made me laugh when Maguire went to Lindelof and made him take the free-kick. They looked very confused by it all, wtf do they do in training?
This.Ridiculous to sack him now...He shouldn’t have been given the job in the first place,I thought that giving him the job was a ridiculous decision.After giving him the job we can’t sack him within a couple of months...There’s no good replacement available anyway...,We”ll have to make the change and start all over again next summer....So basically we are looking at another wasted season...It's preposterous to suggest we sack him now. Let it play out, we all know deep down where this is heading so let's just wait it out.
Not from Spain or Germany but Erik ten Hag from Ajax showed really promising signs last season.
I hope we will not repeat our mistake to sack someone who is not the one to blame. We made massive mistakes over the last 10 years and we need to learn from them. Just want to mention some of them:
1. In 2009, we sold the best player in the world without trying to convince or stop him
2. Last 2 seasons of Sir Alex were awful, we should have forced him to retire after the 2011 final against Barcelona
3. David Moyes didn`t get money for good players, even though the team desperately needed new faces
4. Moyes was sacked before the end of the season which is ridiculous, especially without giving him money for transfers
5. I don`t know why Louis Van Gal was appointed and what was his job at the club, the thing i remember is that we were playing a football good for the second division
6. Mourinho did a good job during the first season, but for some reasons everything went wrong after that and he actually should have been sacked after the end of the second season
I’m not sure why people were so optimistic before the season.
We signed Maguire who imo will be a great signing and improves us.
A right back who can’t attack from Crystal Palace, and a winger from the Championship.
We lost Herrera, and even before that we had about 5 first 11 positions that need filled.
Whether or not Ole is the man for the job, our squad is a mess.
It's beginning to look like Moyes now as he is looking clueless and out of his depth .
He trusts the wrong players and is to stubborn to try something else and give other players a chance
No, because he did well at Molde and showed he was talented.
Its all rush football at the moment. We definitely need a technical player and some composure in the final third just to knit the game together.It's not the pens though Sults. We were poor. A lot of possession but no cutting edge. Can you see any sign of attacking patterns in our final third?
I understand, buddy. It is frustrating. Just back from the game, and the refereeing and time-wasting were shocking. Just broke up any rhythm United tried to build.We shouldn't have to rely on pens to beat Crystal Palace at home.
Selling Lukaku and not bringing in a replacement didn’t help. Not bringing CM’s didn’t help. Being happy with the squad didn’t help.He doesn’t have many options when selecting his team, can’t see how changing a manager is going to change that.

He has put himself in that position.
When you go in a season unprepared you can’t blame the squad. He spent a lot of time explaining how a bunch of kids are ready for first team action and will be essential for our game. When this was clear to pretty much everybody that it won’t work who is to blame? The kids or the manager going into the season without a plan B and senior players?Probably not all on him though, pretty sure our attempts at signing over the hill strikers show he wanted a replacement.
The fact that we were after over the hill striker says more about Woodward and the glazers.
Don't think they're knee-jerk. Many people didn't want him to be signed and many people wanted him gone after the last season. Remember, last season he finished very poorly. The worst form of United in the PL I think it was and if you also count the CL it's not 3 wins in the last 15 matches, 6 of which where we failed to score a goal and the only clean sheet was Chelsea which we were frankly lucky to get.Some of the reactions are a bit kneejerk aren't they? We've had two good performances and one bad one.
Don't see Solskjaer staying long-term but not sure we'd achieve by getting rid of him, not until the end of the season anyway.
This year is really about getting rid of the players we don't want and introducing some of the young talent. If we get top four it's a bonus.
He showed so much talent at Molde that Cardiff hired him and then got relegated!
He took over a sinking ship and it sunk. The players who are we need to blame.

5 points already behind Liverpool and we are only in week 3.
