No offers for our players....Now there's a surprise, bar lukaku and Pogba would anyone be interested in rest?
Ole's Press Conference | 05:30 BST

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
From what I understand, James has been head and shoulders above everyone else in terms of speed and fitness. Read an article about a spring-training they had where he was 5 yards in front of everyone else. So it could easily be hard to leave him out of the team.
Why give them contracts in the first place especially Phil Jones knowing you can't sell them?
yep but it was the ridiculous media reaction he's referring to.... it was a nonsense video"Jesse and Paul were walking around and it's been portrayed as a fight between the two boys"
"it looks like it's going to be a media ... I don't want to call it a ... but it's an agenda against Paul"
But Ole.. it's the club's twitter account that posted the video! We need better content creators
the kind of video if a player wasnt smiling or appearing happy they equated it to them wanting away
There are 7-8 players who probably arent good enough for us - but are you telling me they wouldnt be good enough for most of the bottom 7-8 clubs in the P.L?
Because we are poorly run club.
It's not whether they are good enough for bottom teams. It's whether the bottom teams can pay those wages, which they might not.
Because contrary to popular belief - Phil Jones is a decent defender. Not good enough to be a regular - but more than good enough to be a squad-player and he seems happy to stay. Will Jones and Smalling be here in 2 years ? Probably not - but in our current situation we need as many reliable players as possible. And by reliable I mean someone you know what you are gonna get from....and even if Jones makes the odd mistake, 4 out of 5 matches he is solid.
Its not a question of if they're good enough or not but whether bottom 7-8 clubs will be willing to pay Transfer fees and their wages.
Exactly especially since they are on high salaries whom most small clubs can't afford
Ridiculous post, nothing said points to him bring a “yes man”
Jones is not reliable
Meh a load of boring nothing answers. It's better than some of Jose's negativity i suppose.
The one good thing to pull out of that is Greenwood getting more games. Hopefully that wasn't just talk.

For someone like Sanchez that is the problem - for players like Darmian, Rojo, Jones etc - that is probably not the problem
That is your opinion - I dont agree with you.
He's not going to say the squad is shite because that would just mess up morale and cause clubs to up the price for their players even more. All in all I think he handled it well.
Jones is far from a reliable player in fact he's the exact of opposite of a reliable player. Always fecks up in crucial moments and can't stay fit to save his life. His spot in the team could and should be taken by Tuanzebe instead of making up reasons to keep on running the club like some sort of charity.

Obviously sarcasm mate..
He’s injury prone and error prone. The reason he's here is because the club would then need to add a new CB and we all know that we suck in buying players
Nice to hear him defending Pogba, although I want Pogba gone. Encouraging to hear that Greenwood is going to be getting some minutes. also encouraging to see that we are still trying to make new signings, whether this comes to fruition is another matter. Think Ole handles the press well, instead of moaning he just gets on with his job which I totally respect.
I respect the lad for turning up fit and ready to go and he is insanely quick. Sadly that's a lot less useful against teams playing a deep block which he will come up against a lot more often with us.
Yes we are. And it's exasperating watching how poor decisions are made at the club, time and time again.
Thanks for letting me know mate. I find it hard to undersand when people are being sarcastic or serious at times
Pretty sure he does understand that - and that makes it all the more appreciable that his public face is solidly behind the club. No point spitting his dummy like Jose did and ensuring that everything just spirals downwards.
Good question about fans asking about the ruthlessness in the transfer market, surprised they were allowed to ask it. The question was very, very underwhelming. I'm scared for this season coming up, not in a falling short in a title challenge sense but falling short again in a top 4 sense. The squad is littered with bang average players who shouldn't even be here, the fact that it sounds like Ole is depending on them too, well it's going to he his downfall.
I think he should make it obvious to Woodward that unless he signs the players he need then he will be handling his resignation letter by the end of the transfer window. There is no point ruining his reputation for few months of contract.
Did you guys really expect him to come out and shame the players? Wasn't that what Mourinho did and we were saying that these things should be kept indoors?
Look at the highlights against City - there is more to this guy than pace
Anyone saying “phew!! no bids for Lingard” should set off the sarcasm alarm bells surely ? Or maybe you’re being sarcastic about not knowingThanks for letting me know mate. I find it hard to undersand when people are being sarcastic or serious at times
He is injury prone yes….he is too error prone to be a top-top defender. He is not too error prone to be a good squad player
This for me confirms that Ole will be gone within the next 12 months, it doesn't matter how much you coach certain players in this squad they are just rubbish. They have cost other more seasoned managers their jobs, the exact same issues will substantiate under Solskjaer. As soon as we start losing games the players heads will drop. It's the same thing we've witnessed for the past decade or so.
Can anyone confirm him saying "the loudest fans aren't the best". I only ask because saw a tweet about it but couldn't see any quotes in here
Darmian we should have sold him last season but offloading Rojo is a big problem. He is injury prone and earns huge wages. There were reports that he was highest paid defender at the club before Shaw signed his new contract. So Rojo is on high wages, not good enough and very injury prone.
Man alive. You really do think everyone associated with the club is a moron don't you?
I think that like in every market, every player has a buyer. But you must know how to sell. And you must have a plan( don't give big and long contracts to average players). If you think that nobody will want that player then just don't give him new contract. Releasing a player is sometimes cheaper than giving him a new contract.
Btw, we all mention Jones. I don't think that we want to sell him. We gave him 5 years contract. Ole rates him i think
An injury prone and error prone defender is as useful as bull tits. He will probably be injured when you need him or if he's fit he'll commit a brainfart. Id rather see us giving tuanzebe a real shot then flogging this dead horse
Did well with a few tricky questions. As others have said, with no bids for our deadwood he's not in a position to isolate them as they will likely be needed at some point through the season.
Liked his comments about being over charged as well, we can't keep getting ripped off by the smaller clubs as it sets a precedent for the following season.

I genuinely thought it was serious. But thanks for informing me mate. Next time I see the see the word "phew" in a sentence I know that someone is being sarcasticAnyone saying “phew!! no bids for Lingard” should set off the sarcasm alarm bells surely ? Or maybe you’re being sarcastic about not knowing
Sometimes loyalty and love towards an organisation can make people do or accept silly things. It happened to me as well
