Not a hope of this happening...that's delusional. Our form in the second half of the season has been pretty average, only picking up 34 points out of 57. That is not a team that will win a title!What kind of nonsense logic is this. I suppose Spurs didn't make progress under Pochettino because there was no trophy.
1) He's been in charge for 2.5 years, just over 2 permanently, not 5 years.
2) We've gone from 6th when he took over (playing the worst football I've ever seen at United and basically in freefall) to 3rd to 2nd while massively improving the style of play, giving first team opportunities to youngsters and objectively improving recruitment.
There has been obvious and measurable progress, if we finish next season 1 point off the title and reach the semi-final or final of the CL but don't win anything that again would be progress.
I think Ole has taken us as far as he can. The club need to be more ruthless and hire the best managers when they are available. Look at how Chelsea have improved since brining Tuchel in. There was no sentimentality in sacking Lampard.
Utd remind me of Chelsea under Lampard, decent but never going to win anything. I don't see a killer instinct in the team or the manager. I like Ole but just think he's too limited for a team with ambitions to win titles. He has shown on many occasions that his in game management is poor (not just in the EL final). We don't seem to have a playing style and mostly rely on moments of individual brilliance to win games, when that doesn't happen we often look clueless and bereft of ideas.
