Fulham preview
“I think they’ve had a good turnaround from a slow start, they’ve made some very good signings towards the end of the window and they’re very well coached. Scott (Parker) and the team trust their own organisation, team shape, and it’s one of the hardest teams to break down. Hard enough to go to Craven Cottage anyway but at the moment they’re really well structured on and off the ball, quick strong players defensively and players that can make the difference. Another tough game in the Premier League.”
Stick him in goal for the Cup game.Amad Diallo - first impression?
“Very good. He can handle the ball, he’s enjoyed training, makes a difference in training, which is quite remarkable at his age. Some adjustment to settle into the hustle and bustle of the Premier League but I can’t see it’s too long until he’s in the squad.
They are a very very fantastic hard working team, and we are in for a tough game against a side who many have struggled against. It will be a test for someone, that is for sure.
Stop telling porkies ...they’re awful
High praise, very high praise actually, which is encouraging to hear.Amad Diallo - first impression?
“Very good. He can handle the ball, he’s enjoyed training, makes a difference in training, which is quite remarkable at his age. Some adjustment to settle into the hustle and bustle of the Premier League but I can’t see it’s too long until he’s in the squad.
Thought England already chose their new coach or does he mean she was linked at the time.Solskjaer on Hege Riise linked with England Women's job
“That is speculation! I know Hege has done really well, she has had a fantastic career with both club and country. England would have a very good coach and a very good human being.”
More proof Norwegian journos need banning from these pressers.
What kind of question is that ffs?Are you enjoying being United manager?
“Of course I’m enjoying it, I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t and didn’t feel I was giving something back to the club, I can’t say there’s a lot I don’t enjoy.
I don’t enjoy leaving players out, it’s hard for big games, players who deserve to play, it’s a difficult job to tell them on Sunday they’re not in a job and on Monday they’re back in a job.
The chat to explain why they don’t play isn’t a good one because of reasons to play but that’s what I love about the job as well, working with human beings, to get the job of individuals so we can get the team together. “
Have you watched them since December?
Stop telling porkies ...they’re awful
Sounds like a stupid and generic question i get in football managerWhat kind of question is that ffs?
They really aren’t. 11v 11 against Chelsea and it could have been the opposite result. They really pressured Spurs too.
Stop telling porkies ...they’re awful
Of course they’ll fight hard, they’re bottom three and have been half decent without winning of late. But surely Utd have enough fire power and are expected to beat them ...anything other than 3 points for Utd will be viewed as a shock.Have you watched them since December?
We should beat them, but they are a decent side of late and have a fighting chance at staying up
Greenwood has been in the pitch pretty much all the games. You make it sound like he’s disappearedNo mention of Greenwood making an appearance any time soon?
Feels like he's become the forgotten man since his summer escapades through the lockdown.
Not disappeared, obviously, but his appearances have taken a hit this season compared to last.Greenwood has been in the pitch pretty much all the games. You make it sound like he’s disappeared
That’s different to saying they’re some sort of pushover.Of course they’ll fight hard, they’re bottom three and have been half decent without winning of late. But surely Utd have enough fire power to beat them ...anything other than 3 points for Utd will be viewed as a shock.
Diallo is a different player though. Might give him a boost. Greenwood can operate from both sides and the middleNot disappeared, obviously, but his appearances have taken a hit this season compared to last.
Bringing Diallo in is good for competition but won't increase his game time.
They’ve got a draw from Spurs and Liverpool and Chelsea found them difficult to break down with an extra man for 45 mins
Stop telling porkies ...they’re awful
[ “I think this season we’ve scored more goals, created more chances than before, it’s a matter of time until those margins that were against us against Liverpool tip our way again. Relationships are working better, the foundation will always be the hard work and the shape and at Manchester United we are expected to create chances from everywhere.” /QUOTE]
Strikes me that one of our biggest problems is that when attacking we don't have the depth of understanding between players that has been so important in our past teams. Martial and Rashford don't obviously gel. Cavani hasn't had enough game time to forge a proper partnership yet. Greenwood goes it alone too often, as do Martial and Rashford, in fairness.
Just feels like it's a bit disjointed currently and there isn't one wavelength they're all working on.
Some journalists are trained to ask pointless questions.Are you enjoying being United manager?
They have, it’s her!Thought England already chose their new coach or does he mean she was linked at the time.
What’s the fastest land animal?Some journalists are trained to ask pointless questions.
News media saying she is confirmed as interim coach of the women's team. I don't mind the Norwegian journos, it's amusingly quirky, especially when Ole goes off into Norwegian.Solskjaer on Hege Riise linked with England Women's job
“That is speculation! I know Hege has done really well, she has had a fantastic career with both club and country. England would have a very good coach and a very good human being.”

He’s apparently a sports and fitness teacher, not a geography one so he wouldn’t really know the answer to thatWhat’s the fastest land animal?
And they played Liverpool off the park for 45 minutesThey really aren’t. 11v 11 against Chelsea and it could have been the opposite result. They really pressured Spurs too.
Scenes if he said no I hate it. I recall when a journalist asked LVG what he knows about United and LVG bluntly said that’s a stupid questionWhat kind of question is that ffs?
Sarina Wiegman is the new England coach.They have, it’s her!
Not what SSN is reportingSarina Wiegman is the new England coach.
Has she backed out then, because she was named the new manager last August.Not what SSN is reporting
