Bravo.
What DOES he have to do?

Resign. He's done here. Not good enough to have us competing for the title. Should have been fired Monday.
Sign the letter of resignation.
It is over for me. Unless he hires a different coaching staff, pretty much an admission of poor tactics. (and this of course will not happen)
He’d have to win something this season, but he might not even get that long. I’m talking PL or champions league.
If he wins all of the next 3 he’ll probably get the chance to try. But I don’t really see a scenario where he’s still here next season.

There's simply no margin for error now, he's got to win every game, and hope we don't break the habit of a lifetime and have a Plan B arranged asap.
Make me enjoy watching us again.
I have seen all three seasons of “drive to survive”, and is now an expert. I can tell you it’s more about the car.
He probably needs 8+ points in the next 4 league games. He then needs to take maximum points in December and demonstrate that we have a way of playing against the lesser teams whereby we are winning games comfortably whilst in complete control.
That would be 29+ points from 33 at which point we could maybe put the last few weeks behind us.

2 of those which are Man City and Chelsea who are both in form. Good luck with that one.
And I'm assuming that's if we win against Spurs and Watford which is not even close a given with how things are going right now.
We all know it’s not likely
make us look like a well drilled team and not just individuals on a pitch. win games. control games. Look like a proper team. Defend well. play football with an idea or a purpose
should we expunge his goalscoring record? that way the clingers-on will have nothing to cling on to?
To me he reached the point of no return last Sunday.
He needs to do a Space Jam and take the powers of either Klopp, Pep or Sir Alex
What does that have to do with his management? I trust that most have sophisticated enough thought processes to separate the player from the manager.
RESIGN！！！！
Come on, only in the world that our board inhabit that Ole manages to retain his job with some flukey wins. I base my judgment on 3 years of univentive football, periods of utter rubbish football being bailed out by individual brilliance and mistakes that keep repeating themselves. He is done at Utd and we are never winning anything under his managerial reign as his teams cannot string 6 wins together.
Over the next few weeks he'd need to get us back comfortably in top 4 by winning games, and qualify for CL knockouts. Whilst looking like a cohesive football team.
But he's incapable of that as he's had 3 years already and we still look Sunday League standard. The only glimmer of hope that could save him is refreshing the coaching staff completely and bring in some coaches who know what they're doing. But I imagine there aren't too many good assistant managers available who want to come in and work under someone who doesn't have a clue what they're doing.

This.
Hope we win and win well tomorrow. Follow that up with a good win over in Italy, no reason why we can’t do city if we revert back to the formula that beat them previous. Feels like I’m one of the last who really wants him to turn this round: I can but hope.
For me he would have to do something he hasnt shown he can do.
Drop his favourites, so no more McFred, no more playing the likes of Maguire and Rashford when they are just back from injury and/or off form.
Win a game regular by defeating the opposition, outplaying them, no hoofball. Something that would get you out of your seats. To do this he would have to feck off all his coaches and bring in genuine WC or as near as dammit coaches.
This is the only way forward. Anything else will be the same old.

No point of return for me. Unless he wins the PL or CL.
At this point there's nothing right for him to do but resign. We're past the point of transforming the side to play good football or challenging for the title. That's fantasy talk. If Ole resigns now rather than lets himself be sacked, he's going to save a lot of face.
He'd have to become a top coach overnight, so essentially he needs a miracle.
i’m just thinking out loud and trying to come up with solutions rather than just complain about the situation.
Leave, he is out of the title race in October and that's it from me.
I think the problem is he is just too nice.
When he first came in as a caretaker manager he went on an incredible run? One has to ask why and I think the fact Mourinho had gone and the genuine love of Ole from the players gave them an extra boost for those initial matches - they just wanted him in the job full-time and they would run through fire to achieve that.
Trouble was, once that was attained, it was back to normal - and Ole being Ole he couldn't then suddenly become a different (hardman) personality to get them to keep on winning. He has then taken to hiding behind statistics, 3rd then 2nd suggesting progress when in reality last season in particular was so weird, Chelsea had a bad start, Liverpool were devastated with injuries, Arsenal and Spurs being Arsenal and Spurs, second wasn't that difficult to attain. Finally & I said this at the time: to go behind at home and turn it around is difficult in an empty stadium, but 10x harder when you let an early goal in and 70000 people get on your back, we saw this on Sunday and panic ensued.

He's been here three years and spent the best part of £450m. He needed to challenge for the league title and go deep in the Champions League. Those were the minimum requirements for this year for an ambitious club.
It is if you have decent drivers in both cars. I'm no expert though
Aka the "weakest link."
Yes. In my view, there's nothing he can do now, as he's amply demonstrated.
That is to say: the most honourable and effective thing he can do is resign. But he's obviously not going to. He looked totally shellshocked at the presser, and I personally am amazed that some people think he handled it well. Just more cliches, with no serious questions from the press.. He's so clearly lost, he's beginning to look like Moyes did before he went.
I'd play Bruno as a deep playmaker and try to unleash the forwards and pace we have.
Just need a solid ball winner in midfield.

I think he's shown his array of technical nouse, and its not up to competing at the top. Short of ole hiring different technical staff to bring in different ideas, there is not much else to be done.
Go
When he starts dropping Maguire and giving players like Sancho and Van De Beek a proper run in the team.
Literally the only thing he has to do for me, is get a LOT better at football management immediately. Simple enough right? Otherwise he needs to resign because apparently we won’t sack him.
Think this should've been a question after last season finished, especially after EL loss. Instead, we've looked worse so far this season, and that's with 3 new signings. 0-5 vs Liverpool damaged him to the point where I think there's no way back, but let's see, Ole's got another chance when no one thought he would.
He has been here long enough now for us to be winning trophies...but he just doesn't have the tactical know how to do so.
When he came in, he steadied the ship, has had money thrown at him too. He's done all he can...needs to go.

I think there are still a lot who are praying that he can turn it around. But he just isn't helping himself. I think ultimately his stubbornness will be his undoing.
