Let Ole prove himself over a full season. Especially if he gets to recruit players that he wants.
You guys can judge him then

I didn't expect any wonders from Ole. But what I did expect was more attacking intentions. His displays last two months are much too similar to Mourinho. Might as well have saved the 15 million pound to fire him
Don’t know what he expects from Lingard. Clear to everyone that he’s not good enough but yet is consistently in the starting XI.
Unlike the majority on here, I don’t want Ole.. never did. If this sort of form continue on to the early part of next season then it would show just what a waste of time this appointment was.
Mistake to give him the full time job. Should've been poch
We really should have waited.
You're right, I don't think any manager in the world would do any better with these players. The problem is I don't see any style of play or just plain old work rate from this team. If you're not any good, the least you can do is close down and do the simple things well.
I hope I'm wrong, cos I love Ole, but with our recent track record in the market, I don't trust them to bring the right players in. And I do t want to see this sit back and counter style of football anymore. It doesn't work long term.
Young and DDG fecked up this one, are people really blaming Ole for it?
We looked great until the feckups.
And people complaining the subs, this game was over at 2-0 (3-0), he wanted to rest some players, and let others get gametime to get fit.
Poch would not have done better than Ole has so far. Get a grip guys.....
Hopefully the newbie system will work

Yeah, because saying he needs to drop the 1999 talk is me "slamming him" ffs
Bringing up good memories...That's what we used to mock Liverpool for. How the tables have turned...
Same subpar players and not enough time to work on completely new tactics
So we will just forget how he makes wrong selection, wrong tactics, wrong subs, playing defensive?
I'm still fully backing Ole and I hope the board back home fully this summer, but I do have some concerns. His made a few mistakes since the PSG game, tactics, team selections and some of the subs are questionable. You hope it's due to the players he has at disposal, but he does seem to have biases towards some players and maybe his judgement of players.
But, we can only fully judge him next season. Huge, huge summer coming up for us and him.

You were not the only one unexcited about him as manager. But he is our manager now so we have to get behind him and hope he surprises , but i'm not holding my breath.
I don’t know how good a manager Ole is (not that good I suspect) but ultimately he is just the latest patsy trying to front the football operations of an organisation whose prime focus is milking profits on the back of success achieved by Alex Ferguson 10 to 20 years ago.
Until “Manchester United” starts to refocus on on-field matters, we’ll continue to be second raters, no matter how much money we burn on transfers and wages.
We are essentially a self-funding, mega budget version of QPR under Tony Fernandes.

I thought we started well today and much of that is due to Ole. Struggle to keep it up for longer spells though. Hopefully we will do these things better next season.
Given the piss poor team selections, subs, and tactics, and the fact he's extended the contracts of Young, Jones, offered Mata a new contract, and told Rojo he wants him to stay, I can't say my expectations are high for next season.
Can't make a silk purse out of a pigs ear. New manager bounce lasted a while but inevitably the reality of shit started to smell again. We need major surgery but I'm uncertain whether Ole has the experience to do it. I guess we need to trust him and but it's a massive summer....
His subs are poor.
We had to score 3 in the second half and remained having 2 holding midfielders.

It wasn't even 5 losses in 7 that got Jose sacked.
Ole has been naive with his team selections recently and his substitutions have been a joke.
He's accountable over two legs for picking garbage lineups playing players outtve position. You can't do that at this level.

Honeymoon or not, those first three games illustrate otherwise. I know they were against poor teams but we looked like a complete different team back then.
The club is a shambles, Ole doesn’t have the skill set, support or structure to sort this mess out. Don’t blame him for that game tonight, that’s our level.
Year from now we’ll probably be no better off and still watching same players who have failed year after year.

I won't judge Ole properly until next season.
Let's be honest, our squad is a shitfest of mediocrity with patches of quality. This Manutd side is not beyond losing away to Barcelona 0-3 so I won't throw much criticism towards him for that. I was more peeved off with Ole with the Wolves results than tonight.
Give him a summer with his signings which hopefully replace shite like Young, Lingard, Jones and a few others.

Mourinho has to take a fair amount of responsibilty for the nick of our current squad though. He had years to move on players who shouldn't be here.
Very weird time to criticize him after this game. We actually played well before their goals and seemed to have all the right ideas about how to approach this game.
He couldn’t have done anything about De Gea’s error but he definitely should not have put Young out there.
I am confident things will get better if we make 4-5 good signings in key areas.

I can easily see us losing the next two games and then 7 losses in 9 would look terrible by any team or manager standards. I fear for the final games this season because we are not getting top four in my opinion and finishing the season with such bad form and then top players maybe wanting out etc it will be very difficult enticing players here who can really make a difference.
Ole has one hell of a job on his hands.

Love him but let's be honest here: he's just not a good 'coach' is he? He's a great man manager, he's always positive, knows the club inside out, believes in youth, knows the ethos of the club, plays 'the United way' etc. but the reality is he's a rookie tactically at this level. Much more needed from a Man United manager especially when football became all about tactics these days. We showed no clear plan in attack tonight. Even in the first leg our play pattern was non-existant. All we did was to cross the ball into the box. And the less said about the defence the better. People loves to belittle it but organising a defence is a hard job in football. And i saw nothing by our team either in defence or attack from a tactical POV. We played like the shackles were off when Ole came understandably and he made players express themselves but that's it. As soon as the honeymoon was over i knew we'd struggled. He's an ok stopgap option for our transition period in the next 1-2 years maybe but not so sure about the long term.
To be brutally honest here, i don't think that giving Ole 200-300 mil is a good move.
What's naive is thinking these games are decided merely on team selections.
Can we all agree that Ole should stop responding to interview questions reaching for parallels with what happened under Fergie 20 years ago? The current side doesn’t even rise to tbe level of a second rate tribute act.
Hes taken us from 6th to 6th mate.
Will give him the benefit of the doubt until he can bring some new players in. But he needs to be ruthless with some of the dross.
One less toxic cnut at the club. Better attitude in games. More points in PL.
We’ve got to sort the structure above Ole to give him the best chance of succeeding long term. We need to get a director of football but I really doubt we’re going to get one and if we do, it will be a token position and Woodward will still be pulling the strings.
It’s clear Ole wants to bring that united culture back and the little 1 percents like travelling in club suits proves this. On the pitch he needs to be given backing. Having watched pretty much every one of our games since Ole has been appointed its clear he wants us to press and have energy, it’s also clear that this current group aren’t fit enough or aren’t cut out to play that sort of football.
I’m still massively in Ole’s corner, unlike any of our previous managers post fergie he gets united. He bleeds the club and he has the right coaching team around him.
It’s also clear he’s got that ruthless edge. It look him all of 1 month to realise Fellaini wasn’t in his plans and it was time to phase Valencia out. He knows where the club needs to be going.
Let’s see this season out, after being 11 points off the top 4 to be in contention is a miracle, if we get 4th great. If not, it’s not the end of the world - were Manchester United. Go full on domestically and blood Greenwood, Garner, Chong, Dalot, Gomez more regularly in the Europa.

The expected return in terms of performance for each GBP spent is higher for Poch than for Ole. People here think that players share their own romantic red-tinted views of Ole. Do the current players have faith in him? Will potential signings have faith in him with the record he is putting together?
Anyway it will all come out in the wash and people on here will realize that sentiment only goes so far.
It obviously doesn't help when you play Luke Shaw at CB for the first time in his career against fecking Barcelona. Or start with a back 4 with Young and Lindelof as full backs playing against Messi and Coutinho.
Ole's responsible for putting the team in a position to be successful. The two lineups he picked did not increase the teams chances of progressing or winning either game. The midfield success was accidental the first time with Fred and McTominay having to be selected and they were rightly kept in the lineup for tonight. The defensive lineup this week was a joke and so was playing Shaw at CB.
How else are we supposed to improve our largely average squad without reinforcements?
General mood. But you can't live on pep talk. Same lineups, same football, same results as it was with Jose. Even worse football at OT. Jose at least didn't play defensive against smaller teams.
Are we close to get a football director ?
66.7% win percentage. Yet lets keep talking about 5 losses from 7 as it suits your agenda from never wanting him in the first place. Ok .
Funny thing is lots of these people wanted Jose, Lukaku etc

Moving our best CB to RB to play Phil fecking Jones, what was that all about
