It could be way worse , we could be Arsenal celebrating players jumping in the crowd after last second equaliser against Palace at home.

Greenwood and Rashford are absolute gems, from our academy, and are going to score so many goals for us.

We've just one short year to wait until we can reminisce about our last league win being a decade ago.

We could be in a far lower league position had we not have talented/quality players capable of producing moments in the game.

We've got the best squad since Fergie left, without a doubt. And it's probably better than the last few he had to deal with too.

Best start to a season for Ole, lots of quality to bed in. Sancho will be flying soon.

Old Trafford has been in good voice, lots of backing for the players. Goodison Park is quieter than a church.

I can't wait to get the chance to take my youngest on.

Think I'll break him in gently with deepdale first then we'll do the real deal.
It worked well enough with the eldest, now he's dyed in the wool united.

We're one smart decision away, such as appointing Ten Haag, from having a really exciting few years with the immense talent we have in our squad. The pain will all be over soon.

Utd are 2 wins away from being in the mix. Wins against Atalanta and Liverpool would put Utd in a good position in the league and ECL group. Infact, if Utd get results against the big boys in the next few months they could be close to the top of the table (hopium).

Rashford is back which is great for Ole's prefered counter attacking style.

Pogba's haircut is hilarious.

I lost 2 kilos last week.

Reading this forum is really depressing right now. Share something positive about utd, no matter what that is.
We have a great set of players, who only lack a great coach to turn them into a genuine title winning team.

Thanks to the OP for putting this up.

Perspective.

Best squad, in terms of talent, since SAF.

Youthful squad with key young contributors.

Academy / u23s are full of talent. Pellestri, Amad, Mejbri, Shoretire, Elanga

Mentally, I think we have a resilient group of players. We just had a record unbeaten run away from home!

The squad, club, youth players, and solid foundation means that if / when Ole leaves, we have a better chance of bringing in a top manager.

Mason Greenwood is the best young talent in Europe.

We have a good first team squad and we have some very promising players coming through the academy.

There's lots of positives at the club. We potentially could have an all English front 3 with Sancho, Marcus and Mason. We have a very talented and somewhat young squad.

Got some great youth prospects who hopefully can make the team in the coming years.

There is a lot of negativity around at the moment, but thats to be expected imo. We have got to the stage of the cycle where even the people who were trying so desperately to convince themselves we made the right appointment are starting to doubt themselves. I don't think he will last much longer though, so I expect a sense of renewed excitement in the not too distant future.

One positive for me is that no matter who the manager is - what we need is very very obvious and almost set in stone.

Solksjaer would have lost the trust of some of his most trusted lieutenants on the pitch after Leicester, including Bruno, Pogba, his ex-teammate Ronaldo and even Maguire to some extent, although he's partly to blame for risking him in the first place. This will encourage him to rip it up and try something else as he is under real pressure. Never mind what the Board says, he knows the next two games are crucial especially for the squad and also the club internally to believe again that we can achieve something this season. He needs to turn this around immediately. This is make or break. I think he'll start going with one less attacker from the four currently and add either a centre-back to make it a back three or a midfielder to make it 3 across the midfield, somewhat similar to Liverpool with Bruno in the false 9 / 10 and two of Ronaldo and co on either side. I'm just guessing of course but one way or either, something will definitely change this time and I sure hope it works.

We'll have a new manager next season.
Christmas the latest. Hopefully not some caretaker crap and somebody big available, Conte or Zidane. I prefer Conte by a long mile.

I wasn't forced to swallow my own prediction

Ole has been found out for a fraud he was, outside of his "wishy washy smiling" he's just too scared to lose this job and barricaded himself with yes man. IF he really loves the club he'd resign. If he think he's good enough then I think he's more deluded than I give him credit.
