You have a man who should not be managing Manchester United, he's a serial loser. He's now lost a final, he's been popped out of 4 semifinals at least, they were all out of all the domestic competitions, they were in a good place in the Champions League group stages and they blew that as well. His team selection was awful, Rashford didn't look right, then he kept him on and took off Greenwood off. He's out of this depth. Tonight is absolute truth, if that's needed, that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is only managing this club because he's a former player.
Hard to disagree with any of that, to be honest.

EDIT: longer clip

Burley is employed because he has a Scottish accent and that’s it

I don't know why people keep going on about the team selection. It was fine. It was the best we could put out today.

The rest of the game management though, was a train wreck.

He is absolute spot on. We need to move on. Ole has not done terribly, but he is not a world class manager. It is similar to Lampard for Chelsea that did a similar job, but not the top manager they needed.

Craig Burnley: "Did you see that ludicrous 'managerial' display last night?"

Craig Burley isn't familiar with OGS's playing career then?

Burley is mostly just for entertainment. He makes over the top statements all the time. I watch that show and he's rarely on it when we've won big games. He normally shows up to rant about big defeats. What he says shouldn't be taken seriously.

That said, many people on this forum have expressed doubts about whether the team can compete for serious trophies under Ole and today is another reason to doubt it.

You don't need to be a football legend to see and understand this is spot on.

It was OGS that needed this win the most. Its hard to disagree about what craig said but let's see if he comes out stronger than before after this little setback.

He's a twat but he's a correct twat.

This was Ole's big chance to prove everyone wrong and he failed, miserably.

Craig burley is a wanker with nothing good to say about United at any time, never mind who the manager is or how many trophies they've won.

Craig burley can suck a bag of dicks.

Exactly, instead of proving doubters wrong he managed to get believers into doubters.

Can't remember us being so stabbed by our own manager in a final. Self sabotage tonight.

United make me feel dirty. And not in a sexy way.

Whether you want or don't want him, you have to admit the language directed at Ole is inappropriate, especially from key figures.

People just want to deflect by shooting the messenger, albeit one who is a cnut.

4 semi final losses.
Limped out against Leicester in the FA Cup this season.
Beaten by a mid-table La Liga side in the final tonight.

Failure, failure, failure.

Lampard left Chelsea in 9th.
Ole just finished 2nd.
Try again.

We need to be more ruthless. Ole's second full season without silverware. As far as i'm concerned, we are bottlers under Ole. We need a winning mentality and that starts with a World Class manager, that is a tactician and a winner. Tonights loss is on Ole, and i'm affraid we won't win anything with him.

"What's United's identity?" "Give it to Bruno, hope Pogba turns up".

Spot on that isn't it.

I don't think anyone would confuse Ole with Sir Alex or Guardiola, but the gall of this clown...

The man won 3 trophies in a 15 year career.

When you first are in the competition, obviously its much better to win it than to lose it, but this is not a competition that a club of Uniteds size has any business participating in the first place.

I'd say winning the EL is the minimum one can expect at a club like United.

That was when he tried something flamboyant and shinned it. He is also living off that goal he scored against Norway in the 98 World Cup that lead to false hope of them getting out of the group stages.
