Jones was extended when Ole was 1 month into his interim tenure. Mata's extension was a mistake, however, I think, it was to keep him at the club as the club was lacking senior figures (remember ROnaldo wasn't in the picture and no one knew what Cavani wanted to do then), Matic's extension was in haste as well, but possibly because the club knew they cant replace him that window (Pogba was thinking of leaving as well that summer). As per most reports, Ole wanted Martial this summer, and Martial's contract was extended during Ole's interim period as well IIRC.Jones, Mata and Matic extended contract under Ole. Martial also.
He publicily said that he wanted Donny. Then he didn't play him, refused to loan him and again refused to play him.
He said to Lingard that he wanted him to stay (and even to sign new contract). Which was the reason why Lingard refused West Ham.
There are no words to describe how bad his man management was.
No manager in their right mind will diss their own player. I think 1 prominent manager apart, no one does that, and rightly so. If you're having a player, you'll always big him up, unless they express a desire to leave and the news has become public
