What I see is that this is just another thing you are throwing on Solskjaer. Rangnick didn’t play him either. This is not on any manager. It is on Henderson and his ability. He isn’t as good as DeGea and should accept that. Nobody has been promised to play without being asset on the pitch. If you are good enough and perform you’ll play. No manager tells a player that he is going to play regardless of how he performs.
We can talk about Solskjaer and his coaching ability but lets not make up stuff to make players good and managers bad. We know what kind of players We have / had and I’ happy that some of them are gone. They are best transfers this summer. They have thrown to many managers under the bus with their behaviour, attitude and so on.
Its evident that you're not following all my posts on the matter. That's not an issue at all and I'll explain my line of thought here.
I never really bought the hype around Henderson. I think that he was half decent with Sheffield United but that doesn't justify replacing DDG especially when on form. Even if he somehow managed to go toe to toe with DDG then there was club politics to take into account. DDG is a senior player, an EPL winner and the highest paid goalkeeper in the world. It would be very difficult for any manager to put such a goalkeeper on the bench as it would make the very people who gave the Spaniard that salary look silly. Even if Ole was willing to take the risk its up to the player and his agent to analyse the manager and judge whether what he's promising will be achieved. Ole was a cautious manager by nature. He loved experience and hated squad rotation. That's bad news for Hendo. So Henderson was naïve in believing such promises and he was stupid in signing such long contract
However Dean Henderson was NOT the only player who was promised 1st team football which means that what happened with him was not a misunderstanding. Which leads us to Ole.
A- Its stupid to promise players at this level regular first team football. The competition for places is just too high and trophies are won and lost on very far margins. As a treble winner you'll expect Ole of all people to understand that. After all we won the treble because SAF had the balls to pull Yorke and Cole out and put two nearly equal players in thus changing the game. Its easy to judge football now when the dye had been cast but for all we knew back then Ole-Sheringham goals could have lead to a radical change at United and Ole-Sheringham could have ended up our first team strikers. So yes Yorke and Cole had plenty to lose back then.
B- Lying or misleading players lead to toxicity. Players hate being lied to and that's exactly what Ole did.
To conclude I wonder if Hendo is burning bridges because in doing so he expects the club to let him go on free/cheap or/and to subsidize most of his salary. Its becoming quite fashionable for players to shit on our club and get what they want.
