You disagree he's been the best manager post SAF?
Ole signs new contract

Well, there's that. Really good to get some continuity, and the squad is shaping up nicely. Let's see where he can take us the upcoming season.
I see the happiness in your eyes.
Again context works both ways though , surely you can also see that United finished with 73 points in the league which doesn’t get you second in most seasons . Liverpool had terrible defensive injury crisis and Chelsea sacked their manager midway which changed their season . Just using we finished second is lacking context too
Can you imagine the actual shit show we'd be in if we listened to Liverpool and City fans regarding what's best for United? Guess we better throw the baby out with the bath water in case one of them laughs at us... Jesus wept...
Tuchel spent 0 and won the CL.
Chelsea had an England-esque route to the final. I'm confident with that draw we could have got there as well. Chelsea had no business being in a CL final if all things were fair and equal.
If you look at the odds they are high for Chelsea and Liverpool as well. City are in a league of their own at the moment. I don't think there is any available manager capable of bridging that gap with our current squad. We need to continue making long term squad improvements.
Yes like our name should guarantee you success, it’s so naive that you can’t reason with it.
We could sign Sancho, Varane and a top class DM before the window shuts and we'll still have to be quiet about those kind of statements. What's funny is those that have the utmost faith in OGS won't even go there. That surely says something.
Nice that you can make excuses for all our rivals. That’s actually really normal behaviour for one of our fans so congratulations on that one. I predict we finish above them again but sadly you’ll have shifted the goalposts again by that point.
Not entirely, but we didn't win it because of him.
Not quite the winning it with Accrington Stanley you're making it out as is it
Yup. 74 points in a season where we had no pre-season or break after Europa league, played our last 4 games in 8 days and had an insane schedule throughout due to COVID. Some more context for you.
This post reeks of bitterness. They deservedly beat Atletico, Porto, Madrid and City in the knockout rounds. Nothing England-esque about that bar Porto. On the flip side, we couldn't beat a far worse team in Villarreal.
What if we add Varane and another world class player to Sancho this summer. He'll still need another five or six to get anywhere close?
Fair enough.
.....
Your sarcasm meter needs working mate.
You were listing out his achievements of reaching SF and Finals as mark of progress. What else am I supposed to take away from that?
Progress under him has been marginal, we still play putrid shit most of the time under him. I've repeatedly said, he did a great job, yes great job, stabilizing us, post-Mourinho. And, made decent signings. But, at the same time, there are huge holes tactically, which repeatedly get exposed. Lesser said about his in-game management, the better. We need our manager to be a lot more than be an excellent man-manager. Just, look at the caliber of manager he is up against when it comes to winning prizes.
If only, there was a decent GK on the bench who has >50% penalty saving record..
If only, there were options on the bench to go for the win after equalizing, instead of chickening out and playing for penalties...
Actually, I give up. I simply don't have the energy to argue anymore.
Let's agree to disagree.
Yes because this isn’t completely disingenuous. Firstly he took over a side that spent what? 200-250 mil in the previous summer?
No chance the Glazers would sack Ole.
The fans give him excuses for everything and he never complains about them. He's the perfect manager for them.

Fantastic news. I was getting worried some other big club would try to lure him away. Koeman might not last much longer at Barca and who knows how Inzaghi will do at Inter.
Yes but what did we win over the last 2 seasons compared to Liverpool and Chelsea?We literally finished above Chelsea for two seasons in a row and Liverpool last season. Give your head a wobble. Call yourself a fan
. You left yourself wide open there. Just saying.What ? They only beat Atl Madrid, Real Madrid and City . That’s it , no big teams
Ole took over a team with Young,Smalling,Valencia,Matic,Lingard etc as first team regulars.
He inherited very little quality.
Consented. Please excuse my german lack of humor.
Like it!
Was always gonna happen. Managerial contracts don’t mean much. It’s a three year deal so nothing extravagant.
The usual candidates coming in here and trying to run anyone down who isn’t fully behind this. As if it’s a surprise that a manager who’s won nothing for three years, signs a new deal and it isn’t met with universal acclaim. Rehashing the same old tripe from last may and the may before and the may before and inevitably again next may.

Changes nothing. He was always going to stay or leave based on our performances on the pitch this season. This just gets rid of another distraction for the season ahead.
Great news. Hopefully we get Varane, a RB and CM over the line and we can look forward to an exciting season.
What manager should we get if we didn’t extend Ole contract? He’s got us going the right direction.
I see the same shit all the time on here, we’re Man Utd, we should win the league, we should get better. And never is there an answer to who that better is to be able challenge the oil club and pep. I’d love to hear it.
It's almost as if the highest paid GK and Spanish player in the world was trusted to do a job he's paid for instead of throwing an inexperienced kid into the firing line.
The football style bit is what gets me the most, not sure why it has become a belief that he plays good football
Read what you write to be sure you are not writing BS. Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid (Spain Champions) and Manchester City (England Champions).
While Ole you know, lost against the mighty yellow submarines.
I havent seen anything online apart from they hoped we would give him a 10 year contract when it was mentioned last season. Was just was going to look where you had.
Great news and well deserved. Good luck Ole!
Whether or not he'll be the man to take us back to the top, who knows. What I do know is I'd rather it be him than your latest Leipzig tactical Wunderkind. Ole'll be putting his heart and soul into getting us there, which means alot to me as a fan.
What's football without a little romance ey?

How much is he getting paid yearly? Let's say it's the same as what he is getting currently which is £7.5m a year. If we have a terrible season next year where we again win nothing, that's nearly £20m in compensation we will owe him if we can want to sack him which will make pulling the trigger that much harder. We never ever fecking learn.
No need to wonder. It was 3 months.
The football is a lot better generally, people just seem to remember the bad games more than the good, even though it’s 80% good. Jose’s main tactic was hoof ball to Lukaku or Fellaini, and then you have people saying Ole’s football is no better. Short memories.
Atleti hadn't won a game in 15 when they played Chelsea, they were in dire form. Madrid have an aged side that was at civil war with the board. They're big names but they weren't exactly current Bayern. Anything can happen in a final, we saw that ourselves.
