I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that! Especially with so much still to play for this season. No issue if it was for a few dead rubber games at the end of the season.
Just imagine the reaction on here if we don’t beat the cannon fodder teams we’ve got coming up the next few weeks!
Toby is either leaving now for money or for free in the summer. Costa hasn't played much since Ronaldo arrived, only 480 minutes this season.
Not anymore.

Agree entirely.
The sacking of Mourinho only made sense if there was someone whom United had lined up to take the job on a temporary basis. . . . When I found out it was OGS I thought it was a joke tbh.
Why not bring back Moyes?
I have never seen it in Sweden, but it looks like the Swedish variant MarabouProbably!
PM me your adress and I’ll send you some
I'm really not sure why there are so many negative responses from fans in this thread. Saying he won't do well, or our standards have become well because of this. Are you saying Chelsea's appointment of Di Matteo was low standards for them?
We need someone to get us through this season, we clearly wasn't going to win anything with Mourinho and he needed to be sacked. OGS is a good appointment, he should stabilise things at our club and get an attacking rhythm going. Clearly, we aren't getting Zidane or any manager that's currently out of work as we would've appointed them right now. Look forward to the summer, as it's likely a manager such as Pochettino will come.
Top 4 is really unlikely, we will have to go on an amazing run (that was not happening with Jose) and we didn't look to be getting past PSG in the CL. Stop being so negative, what did you just believe Poch was going to leave his job mid-season?

We will get either Pocchetino or Zidane in the summer, relax people.
This is a thing for 5 months, try to be happy that a legend is back at our club for a short amount of time.

Oh you think another manager would turn it around and get us a CL. What a wonderful mind you have.
You should probably stick to your German hipster league if you fail to see the difference between Solskjær and Moyes from a Manchester United perspective.
Hopefully Ole will bring us back to a time when our most pressing concerns were “Is Mike Phelan a yes man?”
Any pictures of him in training yet?
Excited for Saturday!!!

I'd like to think he has a chance here but I can't help but feel he's been brought in to keep the fans quiet whilst Woodward tries to work out the mess behind the scenes.
Will enjoy having him back, nonetheless.

This! a great stop gap emotionally calming, win win situation for Woody
You're right.
Moyes has shown he is a far more successful manager than the guy who relegated a team from the premier league.
Forgive me.
Arguing for Moyes over Ole just shows a deep lacking of understanding or connection with Manchester United. I'm not even that into the Ole appointment, but I get it, it's not rocket science.
If Mourinho genuinely alienated the vast majority of players to the point where some wanted to leave and presumably someone like De Gea then it makes total sense to sack him and appoint a caretaker.
WUM, troll or
WUMming isn't allowed in United forums. You perfectly know the difference between Moyes and OGS. Consider it as your final warning.
What you talking about? What manager would want a six month role? This is a unique circumstance and opportunity for Solskjaer and it's important that the club take the time for a root and branch review of its structure before sleepwalking into the same mistakes its made over the past few years.
I didn't realise that the Manchester United job was a work experience stepping stone style job, especially with the team still in the CL, the FA Cup to play for and yes, fourth place to fight for.
I'm not wumming. Moyes' achievements IN England far outweigh OGS'
OGS is a Man United legend.
A truly great player and no United fan can forget 1999.
But sentimentality must be put aside when it comes to appointing the manager ... even if it is for a 6 month period.
Ok, who do you think we should have hired for 6 months instead?
Quality control
If OGS was all that was available then why sack Mourinho in the first place?
Bizarre that a manager who won two Champions Leagues is sacked for a manager who relegated Cardiff for a forthcoming match with PSG in the CL.
Of course OGS jumped at the chance.
Why not?
If you really need to ask why Mourinho needed to be sacked you've obviously paid no attention to what's been going on at United in the last couple years.
OGS is a good appointment, he should stabilise things at our club and get an attacking rhythm going ready for the permanent appointment in the summer. Stop being so negative, we had enough of this under Mourinho.
Jose was sacked because he was becoming toxic. All of our big money signings were getting benched and we absolutely had no direction.
Given OGS achievements at United (and especially with the 20th anniversary of 1999 coming up)....what a terrible shame if it all goes tits up.
There's no evidence that OGS can bring anything to the table other than he's not Mourinho.
That's the reality.
Have you been paying attention to what’s been happening at this club for quite some time and the reasoning why Mourinho had to go?
Why are people engaging with a troll?
Completely avoided my question. If you can't see why Jose simply had to be sacked, there is no point discussing anything.
Was there any evidence that Di Matteo would bring Chelsea to the summit of football (CL)? No. Give OGS a chance, like he's not even had a game yet.
Backwards from what?
Moyes?
Van Gaal?
I remember in 1989 people demanding the sacking 0f SAF for exactly the same reasons. Mourinho won trophies. Granted things have been bad this season and I'm not advocating that sacking him was the wrong decision, but I certainly believe that to be the case if OGS is his successor...which he is
Everybody needs fresh air at some point, the atmosphere around the club sounded toxic, Ole is the fresh air we need a smiling and friendly face instead of Mr. Grumpy.
I believe the reason hiring him is because of his style of play and good management, there are a lot of former United coaches who could do better than him in Premier league but their style of play is very similar to Jose's style of play, aborting pressure, launching counter-attack, hoofing balls to big physical player, that's why we don't want to see it.
Solskjaer will make it easier for next permanent attacking minded coaches to put the style of play in place rather from Jose's style of play modules like Hughes, etc.
