The way and timing of Sancho and VDB being brought on looked really desperate. Full fecking panic stations there. Chuck them on and hope for the best.

His smile and high five to Carrick at the end tells me that he has achieved the target from 2 out of 3 games he was given. I doubt City result will have any impact, unless its another drubbing à la Liverpool.
He'll be sacked after City, but it'll be another humiliation exercise.

One of the worst managers around in the premier league.

The universe is giving us chance after chance to stay alive in the champions league. Only the clowns running this club cannot see it and make the right decision. Its infuriating.

Wonder how many City need to score to close the circus down once and for all.

Probably more than 5.

Alehouse stuff again from us and that is solely the responsibility of the manager and the coaching team he has assembled.

We know he’s arguably the worst manager in the Premier League but is there a case for him being the worst in the Champions League, too? Would any of this year’s teams take him? I’d be stunned if they would.

If we lose to City does he get sacked ? Surely he has too
He not going anywhere. Conte’s been snapped up and Zidane has made it clear he’s not interested. Every other viable candidate is tied up. Might as well suck it up because he’s got the whole season, a spanking by City would change nothing. Just cannot believe the luck of this guy.

Ole's job is ultimately going to be saved every time by nights like tonight and at the weekend vs Spurs. Just when we are down and out, we pull something out of nothing buying more time. It will eventually catch up. I think if we lose to City, the international break will see Ole gone.

If it's another hammering then I think there's a good chance he's gone.

If it's just a generic shit performance and we lose say 2-0 then he'll probably cling on to fight another day.

Although with Conte now off the market maybe he will get the season, which is a terrifying idea.

I absolutely agree that Ole has to go, but which available candidate will significantly improve this team?

Do we really think that Rodgers would make us a top-tier team competing with City, Liverpool and Chelsea?
Ten Hag, Poch, Mike Basset to name a few.

There is a wealth of talented football managers to choose from.

Guys, Atalanta had almost all their injured players back. It is not fair to expect Ole to beat them. Wait until we play either injury-ridden (like vs Alatanta at OT) or dysfunctional teams with out-of-depth managers (like Spurs) the whole season - THEN judge Ole :)

He survived Liverpool, do you really think he's going if we lose against city?

The season is gone and if it helps to start another fan revolt against the glazers, it might be one of the dumbest decisions they make by keeping ole.

The Glazers probably don't care about performances. They'll see a win and a draw in two games and be happy enough. If we keep our loss to City confined to 2 goals or fewer then Olé keeps his job.

Would require another 5 goal humiliation for his job to be threatened.

I felt sick when that Ronaldo goal went in. Horrible being in this situation.

One fluke after another, being carried by elite players.
It's a horrible feeling. Ole's getting saved by the players when the setup and performances has not been good enough. Looking at Gasparini and what he's done at Atalanta, he'd get a lot more out of this Manchester United squad, and yet here he is, outcoaching Ole but having naught to show for it because the latter just has better players.

Somebody on Talksport has just said Ole should be moved down to number 2 and bring SAF back. Think SAF has earned his retirement.

Now somebody on saying he is happy with everything.

It’s not even luck, it’s a massive lack of ambition by the board. I honestly cannot think of another top level club that would have kept Solskjaer on. It’s just so bloody infuriating.

I said it before, we stuffed up letting Conte go…

We need an astute coach and someone who needs to put some fear anddiscipline into some of our players including our captain..

PS: Best investment next year will be to let Pogba go irrespective of who the manager is!

Only trouble is - who is available? Conte gone to Spurs! We are bereft of any ideas to move forward and I guess Woodward doesn’t want to pull any triggers before he moves on. We are stuck!

They're half right. You could drag anyone off the street, demoting Ole to number 2, and we'd be miles better off.

Keep a clean shit tomorrow, United is my final bus
The football is almost as tumescent as it was when van Gaal was in charge. So bloody boring.
Football is boring as feck to watch. We look genuinely clueless apart from some little moments here and there from top class players. They must be fecking stupid if they don't want a manager capable of giving them the instruction and coaching to be the best team about.

I want Ole gone, but I still find it odd how anyone could have that sort of reaction to a goal like that, one that could keep us in the CL. Just a bit of a weird way to support a team.

He really might be the luckiest manager, like, ever? He constantly seems to get results when it looks like now will finally be the time it ends

if Arsenal, wolves, Brighton, spurs win we could be 9th in the table after a home defeat to City. Honestly don't think anyone could survive that.

Imagine how bad you have to be, to be the luckiest manager ever, and you still can't win a thing.

When you are chasing a goal and you make two of your changes in the 87 minute to me you are an absolute idiot,sorry. We got very lucky, maybe karma because of that cnut atalanta player acting like hes injured. Ronaldo what a beast talent aside this one was pure will. He and Bailly men of the match no doubt. rarely been as happy about a draw as tonight.

I sometimes wonder if the Glazers even watch the game. Maybe they don't understand football or they don't care about that at all. However surely they understand numbers. We used our last summer big name signing and this summer big name signing at the 87 minute. That's 120m worth of talent sitting on the bench for most of this crucial game. Meanwhile the 80m rated signing was making an utter fool of himself. How much money does this fraud need to throw in the bin before he's sacked?

True, Avoiding Europa league is a must. My reactions to goals have changed from joy to just relief nowadays. With shite performances I don't celebrate goals. Just sad

Go and get Ten Hag. If Newcastle and payup and get Emery, we can get Ten Hag!

Alternatively, sack only now and get Blanc as interim. Just get rid of Ole!!!

Shocking performance, yet again.

Luckiest manager I have ever seen, and it speaks volumes about how shit he actually is, that despite possessing such luck in addition to world class players, he has still won nothing.
