Ole had a back handed criticism of Mourinho's fitness regime, and associated the drop off at the end of 18-19 to fitness issue. Promising the sky about his United team would out run, out fight oppositionI doubt people are blaming Rangnick here. It just happens to be one of those phases where you can't blame either of the 2 managers. Just like it would be stupid to blame Mou for our loss to Cardiff at the end of 18-19 season.
The side Mou built was for himself not his successor. The side Ole built was keeping in mind his style of play not his successors'.
Search old thread, and saw how many bought into this. Then compare it to the real state of Ole team. Still a team getting out run and out fought by opposition.
The side Mourinho built was for himself. Sure, yet it has the defensive principles well drilled into the team, which can be reused. Ole managed to erase that from this team. His team was even getting worse in term of low block defending, and counter attack in the end. There is no foundation left to build on. There is too much to coach this squad mid season. And last but not least, many in this team are indulged and spoiled rotten in "expressing themselves" vibe that they develop a bad habit of playing according to instincts. They're having a hard to time to spot a pass, one touch football, playing offside trap instead of backing off at first sight of counter attacking... because they're too used to shoot first, taking many touches...
